"You might cross a bridge you might cross a bridge to somewhere." "You might open some door to another room." "But the real death, the harshest death, is that tiny little dying you do after you're gone, when your name is spoken by someone else on this earth for the very last time..." "When you don't even exist in memory anymore..." "Memory anymore..." "Which means my death came the day my platoon got back here..." "With that last handshake from my squad leader..." "That last goodbye from all thoe that last goodbye from all thoe other invisible men." "That's when the real death came..." "Which means that I'm a ghost now, because my body's still here." "It means that now I live in a world that you all can only visit in your sleep." "Visit in your sleep." "Which means now, finally, that I can never die again."

"It's part of the group dynamic." "Come on, Drake." "I'm late." "Gotta be someplace, and I got a splitting headache." "I get those, too." "Yeah, well, they're nasty." "That headache is a, uh, is an outlet, right?" "Because you need an outlet." "Yah know, that's--that's" "That's the nature of pain." "It expresses itself." "Since you're not voicing it..."

"Why'd you do that, Carol?" "I didn't want to." "I'm sorry." "Why'd you do that?" "I'm sorry!" "Did they take your stuff?" "No." "They didn't take anything." "What'd they want, then?" "I don't know." "Tell me what they looked like." "They looked serious." "See that stare he's got?" "I guarantee you he's seen things that you and I couldn't even imagine." "But if you were to imagine..." "Mm-hmm." "I'd say they saw some pretty heavy-duty shit in that little village outside of fallujah back in '05." "Yo, hold up, Drake, Drake!" "We're the good guys." "We work for the company." "We work for the company." "Come on, get back in the car." "I actually admired the initiative you took that day." "Thank you." "Why were you at my place?" "Your place?" "That motel room?" "Your place is with us." "Not anymore." "Hey, we never judged you for anything you did." "Give us credit for that, all right?" "What I did was a crime." "Look, you know what?" "You are a shining star." "You were the best we had." "I mean, answer me this, what is this driving miss Daisy bullshit?" "And how does a soldier" "Fuck that, how does any man resign himself to living in this filth?" "Because I'm a mercenary, the filthy kind, the kind your company makes." "The kind your company makes." "Well, this ain't about the company, okay?" "Right now this is about your men, because something from the past has come back to haunt us." "Let us take you to dinner." "Three days ago, our chief financial officer was gunned down in the street in broad daylight." "We have no claim on it." "There's no motive, no suspects." "And then yesterday, and then yesterday, we got a letter from a sergeant" "Devon Carter." "He's a marine corp sniper." "That name ring a bell?" "No." "Okay, it didn't with us either, but according to sergeant Carter, he was in the village that day, and he saw everything go down." "That's not possible." "It was just us." "Well, apparently not." "And apparently this has been eating at the good sergeant's conscience for quite some time now." "And somehow, killing my c.F.O." "Is a remedy for something," "I don't know." "He killed him?" "That's what it says in the letter." "What the fuck?" "Seems he was on a mission we didn't know about to take out a target in that village." "Had a bird's-eye view of the whole square when your squad pulled into town for clean-up." "Didn't like what he saw." "Now..." "He wants to tell people about it." "About it." "Now we haven't given the letter to the cops." "I'm sure you understand we prefer to keep this to ourselves." "What does he want?" "See, that's the thing." "He wants to talk to you." "All right, here is your chicken, and there's your steak." "And there's your steak." "Anything else for you today?" "What does he want me for?" "We don't know." "But what we do know is that you're the only one who can help us resolve this for good." "You mean kill him." "We mean resolve." "Yeah, well, I'm not yeah, well, I'm not resolving anything." "This is your dirty laundry." "Drake, you were the one giving the orders that day, so I'm sure he's gonna name you first, and I'm sure that's why he's calling you out, so the least you could do" "for yourself, the very least you could do for your men, who are out there right now, trying to lead some semblance of an ordinary life." "Don't fuck them." "Don't fuck them." "Look, everything you need is right in there." "Go to hell." "Hey, Drake." "Hold up a sec." "Hey, you remember Ron lining?" "What'd it take, about three weeks before he hung himself?" "What about Tyson?" "Jumping off that bridge in the jumping off that bridge in the middle of rush-hour traffic?" "He even killed that woman on the way down." "Are you sure you want this to resurface?" "Don't leave your men out to dry again, lieutenant." "I'm not saying yes to anything." "We're confident you'll come to the right conclusion." "Come to the right conclusion." "This is about saving lives, so stop that shit in your head." "Be ready in 48 hours, okay?" "You ever kill anyone?" "I sign the mission orders." "Nobody gets a pass." "I hear they call you" ""the fireman."" "A child grows up, faces some difficulties..." "Sees that where he's going, he's not gonna see the light." "So he goes in the direction that it ain't so dark, that it ain't so dark, where he's got a chance." "We call that intelligence..." "Awareness..." "Consciousness..." "Character." "A tree grows from a sapling." "A tree grows from a sapling." "It looks up and sees the direction it's going, it won't get any sunlight..." "So it changes course..." "Maybe just a few feet to the left, finds a hole in the canopy where the sun is and thrives." "But we don't call that intelligence." "Somehow it's not awareness, somehow it's not awareness, has no character." "We call that biology, science, some magical accident, but not..." "Intelligence." "We hold on to that for ourselves, say it's ours." "But nah." "The thing that separates us men from beast ain't from beast ain't intelligence." "It's our lack of humility." "Walk around this city and pretend it ain't just a wilderness." "Scream at the life around you, pretend that it ain't just a prison..." "Counting up, counting up, losing track of all your mistakes..." "Flying around in your mind like birds..." "And darkening up your sky." "You're in my chair." "Sorry to wake you up." "That's all right." "I was already awake, sort of." "It's not the hour I mind." "It's not the hour I mind." "That's why I give you guys keys, so you can come down here anytime you need." "What I do mind is that you bring me down here and you can't look me in the eye and tell me what's going on." "I won't be at group..." "For a little." "Okay." "That's all." "I'm sorry." "I just won't be here." "Yeah, I got that." "Could anyone have done..." "Could anyone have done what?" "Could anyone have done any better?" "Done any better with what?" "What makes what I did wrong?" "I mean, it was wrong, but..." "Look, there's nothing right look, there's nothing right about what they asked us to do." "You gotta remember that." "I did bad things, marsh, really bad things." "We did what we were told." "Don't make us bad people." "Nobody asked us to like it." "Then what?" "What do we do with those things?" "We live with it." "We live with ourselves." "We live with ourselves." "We make peace with the fact that we did the best we could with the training we had." "The war is over, Drake, and you gotta stop fighting." "That's what I keep telling all you guys, is that you're home now, and you just gotta stop." "You just gotta." "This is 15 miles of river from the target, and we're two days from the river." "It'll give you some time to meditate on the stakes at hand, lieutenant." "When you hit the water, there'll be a small boat launch about a mile or so down, an old forest service thing." "Find something there to get you down the river." "Fuck this." "Oh, one more thing, lieutenant, and this is from the top." "Not a goddamn trace." "And bring proof." "Not a goddamn trace, lieutenant." "Not a goddamn trace, lieutenant." "This world's got a darkness to it, got a nasty stench that follows it around, got a hopelessness, in its rule book, talking about how no one here talking about how no one here gets out alive." "So seems like everyone here just stays inside instead, going mad." "No one sees it, but then they send you away, over there, out there, out of here." "And you come back, if you come back, you see everyone's out of their damn minds." "Out of their damn minds." "And they call you the crazy one for what you did over there." "Ah, shit!" "Oh, fuck!" "Oh." "Forest?" "!" "What kind of man fights in anything but the motherfuckin' desert?" "Ah, shit!" "Ahh!" "Damn it, stop movin'." "You're the one who called me out here, asshole!" "And you're holding out for motherfuckin' hide-and-seek." "Is that you, Carter?" "Yeah, that's right." "How you doing, Drake?" "You know what I told 'em when they came to me for this?" "When they came to me for this?" "Told 'em I'm too old for this shit." "Yeah, you were probably right." "Now listen, with your left hand, take hold of your rifle, with your right, grab the pistol and put them both on the ground, slowly." "You got me." "I called bullshit on this from the beginning." "No bullshit about it." "We got a lot to talk about, you and me." "Just put the guns on the ground." "Just put the guns on the ground." "I'm not gonna kill you." "Well, those two guns you're holdin' say differently, and I will kill you if you don't put them on the ground now." "Good." "Good." "Now turn around, slowly." "Drop the pack." "Don't be defiant." "Drop the pack." "Lieutenant Drake." "You're a little taller in person." "So you got some kind of grudge, right?" "What the fuck do I have to do with your grudge?" "I don't even know you." "Oh, we met from 1,000 yards away, from 1,000 yards away, but I saw you." "You didn't see shit." "I saw you through my glass, me and my scout, my buddy binder, met you over there, rounding up all those villagers in the square." "Yeah, well I never met you." "Slow down." "Why don't you fuck yourself and tell me what your goddamn problem is?" "You were busy." "Whole time, you didn't look human." "Something had you." "How were you in the perimeter and we didn't know anything about you?" "About you?" "I was like a bird, had a real nice nest, too, had a target that was probably the same man you were looking for, only I actually had the intel to know where he was." "There was a warehouse pumping out I.E.D.S, so they sent me in to weed out the one running it, and I had him cornered, finally, until you motherfuckers showed up and just killed everything in sight," "except, of course, for the target." "We got ambushed!" "They were hiding the perps!" "And I was solving the problem." "What the hell do you want what the hell do you want about it now?" "What do I want?" "Well, me and binder watched when you lit that poor bastard on fire." "Coldest shit I've ever seen." "And the whole time your head's right in my crosshairs." "Binder's giving me readings and we're both thinking this piece of shit deserves to die right now." "Couldn't believe you." "What kind of soldier does shit like that?" "!" "I had my finger on the trigger, ready to pull, but I didn't, but I didn't, couldn't." "But right in that moment, lieutenant, with you in my sights, I got real on something, that this shit isn't about you or me." "They make us this way." "They're the ones that deserve to get it." "No one needs to get it." "Don't tell me you didn't deserve to die that day." "It's not about deserving it." "Mm." "You still came for me, though." "I told you," "I'm not gonna kill you." "No." "You're not." "You do what you have to do." "And if it's gonna come anyway, why don't you get on killing me?" "You were on the street for what, a year, after five years of combat?" "Barely scraping by now, right?" "Like so many of our brothers." "What do you suppose is left for me to kill?" "You see, what's a bullet to your head gonna do but save you, brother?" "You live here?" "Yeah." "Like it?" "Don't worry." "It's just the elevation fucking with you." "Fucking with you." "Ugh." "You get used to it." "Here." "Ahh." "Ugh." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "Mi casa, su casa." "What the hell are you doing up here?" "What is this place?" "Used to be a fire-watch cabin." "Paid men to come up here and pay attention." "Guess I'm continuing a tradition, then." "Next time, keep me out of it." "I would've asked the same of you in that village." "Fuck you." "Drake, I don't have a grudge against you, not at all." "And the executive?" "I did have a grudge against him, against him, and that's what you'd look like if I didn't consider you a friend." "I feel like we've known each other for a long time." "I want you to join me." "I want us to work together." "We can do great things, you and me." "I'm not the man for the job." "Don't you fuck with me." "You know I've seen what your capable of." "What I'm capable of is bullshit." "This is bullshit!" "This is bullshit!" "What the fuck do you want from me?" "I'm paying my dues." "I don't gotta answer to this shit from you!" "Look at you." "This is how they make us suffer." "We gotta put an end to this shit, Drake." "You're out of your fuckin' mind." "You drag me out here to this shit hole to what?" "To play out some little game?" "Yes!" "Exactly." "It's been a game from the beginning, but up until now, we've been the pawns." "Shit, Carter." "You think we're ever gonna be you think we're ever gonna be anything but a bunch of fuckin' pawns?" "That's in the job description." "You have me, Carter!" "What's your play?" "What's it gonna be?" "My play?" "Well..." "I'm gonna cut your ropes." "But if you try to escape, but if you try to escape," "I will kill you, and when I do, you'll be thinking about this moment right now, and I won't even have to say "I told you so."" "Besides..." "There's something you and I have to do right now, and I wouldn't feel right doing it with such an advantage." "See what we have to do is clear the air a little bit." "Now don't try anything tricky." "Aah!" "My buddy binder took it pretty hard witnessing your little outrage over there." "Motherfucker!" "So call that one for him." "Aah!" "And that's for my target in that village that you compromised and fucked up my percentage." "And that..." "Well, that's just to make sure you get it back." "You know, you almost got me in that clear-cut, Drake!" "Those bullets were whizzing right over my head!" "Right over my head!" "My good luck, I guess, your bad, 'cause, well, here we are." "You ain't gonna shoot..." "You aren't gonna" "You ain't gonna shoot me, are you?" "You gonna shoot me?" "Aah!" "You motherfuckers don't care!" "You motherfuckers don't care!" "We fuckin' killed each other." "You don't give..." "Fuck!" "I'm sorry!" "Nobody fuckin' cares!" "The first time I killed," "I was on the target for two weeks before I engaged." "They tell you you're gonna vomit or something or have nightmares or be conflicted." "That's what they say anyway." "They also say that the only way they also say that the only way to get rid of it is to kill again." "But those are the cynics." "I didn't have any of that." "That target I engaged, that man I killed, was a soldier." "We were in a match." "I won." "God understands that." "Cheap shot motherfucker." "Cheap shot motherfucker." "Did you hear what I was saying?" "People get caught up in the semantics but don't like to see things clearly for what they are." "They want to argue about interpretations but not about what's true." "There's no morality, not in language." "You can justify anything with words." "What the fuck are you talking about?" "Is that all you do up here?" "Is that all you do up here?" "Talk to your damn self." "I'm talking to you, lieutenant." "Better listen." "Ahh." "I'm going back to sleep." "Uh-huh." "All right." "But what do you know anyway?" "You're a goddamn contractor." "I'm a fucking marine." "Maybe you started out maybe you started out as a marine, but you ended up a fuckin' mercenary." "What if I said yes?" "Yes to what?" "Yes, I'll join you." "What did you tell me?" "You haven't told me yet." "Say yes first." "What if I did?" "What's your plan?" "You don't even know, do you?" "You don't even know, do you?" "What you're doing up here, you're killing some businessman." "It's a world of shit you're in for this." "Are we gonna be like that D.C. sniper?" "Posting up in a trunk somewhere shooting soccer moms?" "See, that man had no imagination." "All the career criminals in D.C." "And the only people he finds to kill are innocents?" "You got it worked out, right?" "How we're gonna be different how we're gonna be different than him." "See, I bet he had a plan, too." "I bet he planned on all sorts of things coming together, but in the end, he was just a crazy motherfucker with good aim." "He was a vet, too." "What other country's gonna make a man like that?" "You're right." "It made you." "All of man's problems stems from his inability to sit by himself alone in an empty room." "Himself alone in an empty room." "Man, your shooters are a strange breed." "Then again, what might be the problem is we keep building all these empty rooms." "Real fucking' strange." "My buddy, binder..." "He couldn't handle what he saw over there." "Blew his brains out the night he got back to Georgia." "To Georgia." "But he didn't just kill himself." "He killed his wife, his two kids, then himself." "What could make a man do that?" "You just see a bunch of random words." "But look closer." "There's a pattern." "There's a pattern to everything." "I don't see it." "I don't either yet." "But that's the work but that's the work of the whole thing, it's there." "What's that?" "That, my friend, is a kill hole." "There was a native people in the southwest, membray, tribe of Potters." "Made the most beautiful, perfect pots there were." "Perfect pots there were." "But before they died, they killed their pots." "Cut a hole in the center of each one." "The hole released the spirit of the Clay so it could join them in the next world." "Kill their pots?" "Looks to me like you drew a big fucking circle on some paper." "That circle, that space there, that hole, that's the mystery." "That's the place that was there before the words were." "That's where they come from." "That's where they come from." "That's where they go." "It's where everything falls out." "It's where you and I go when we're done here." "The kill hole." "You get the view tonight!"

"How'd I know you were gonna say that?" "The truth is, you don't have much of a choice about killing me, you know that, right?" "You know that, right?" "Is it just me, or is that what you want?" "You go back empty-handed, they'll kill you." "But hell, maybe they kill you one way or the other." "Thing is..." "I'm not going back empty-handed." "I'm really not gonna kill you, but..." "But..." "It's worse than that, 'cause I'm gonna need proof that I did." "Sorry, Carter." "There's no other way." "You already disappeared." "Why would you leave here?" "This is where you want to be." "It's not your fault," "Drake." "You had to do it." "You had to do it." "Just tell me you're gonna disappear." "Tell me you're not gonna kill anymore." "I forgive you." "We were outside of Baghdad, and for some reason, and for some reason, an old woman on the sidewalk had caught my attention, and I'm watching, and like we were saying before about the I.E.D.S," "you get that tingle, you know something's coming, like, right before it happens." "And I'm getting that tingle, and I'm watching this old woman, and something is just wrong." "And she reaches down, and she's reaching down to the ground, and it looks like she's grabbing the bottom the bottom of her burka, and she proceeds to pull it up and take a huge dump" "on the sidewalk, and I just, on the sidewalk, and I just," "I've never been the same ever since." "Every time I see an old lady," "I just, I pray that please, please wait!" "We talk a lot about the negative stuff, but camaraderie, you know, having your friends and other soldiers be your family and having these people with you that have your back, like, I mean, more than" "you can ever imagine, that's one of the things I miss about the military." "We were always bonded together because of a conflict together because of a conflict that brought us together." "I don't have the same connections to them that I did." "The military was that connection." "And so that bond that we had then and that support that we felt and that gave us the strength is gone." "We're standing alone now!" "My first time in combat, kandahar," "I shit my pants." "Piss, shit, the whole works, the whole works, just shootin' at nothin', scared as fuck, covered in shit." "You know, what the recruiter won't tell you, what they don't want you to know, you have to shed a lot of pride to do what we do." "You can think you're all type of man, but until you're in a firefight, until you've been there, you don't know what you're made of, you don't know you're made of, you don't know" "shit about yourself, but it's the funnest damn thing you ever experience." "I wouldn't trade it for nothing." "Do you ever leave this thing?" "Just to come in here." "Got any ladies in your life?" "Got any ladies in your life?" "That's a negative also, sir." "Do you think, by chance, these two things are connected?" "Probably, sir." "You know, that was a good talk in there tonight." "Thanks." "No, I mean that." "I know, I know." "Feels good, doesn't it?" "Feels good, doesn't it?" "Maybe." "Yeah, it does." "All right." "You know, the thing about opening up, you finally spill..." "Hey, hey, hey, enough of that man." "You keep me talkin'," "I'm gonna cut on the meter." "What do you want, taxi cab confessions up in here?" "What are you bending my ear for anyway?" "Don't you think I got things to do?" "Get outta here." "How you doin', 902?" "This thing still runnin'?" "Yeah." "Stuck me with this piece of shit stuck me with this piece of shit again." "What could I tell you, my friend, that you don't already know?" "Is there any combination of words that I could surprise you with?" "Would you believe me anyway if I did?" "Guy came by the other day looking for ya, left you this." "Looking for ya, left you this." "Said he was a friend of yours." "Friend of mine?" "Yeah." "I was inspired by all your tales of loneliness out here on the streets, inspired enough to find out for myself." "So it's no surprise to tell you how lonely I am." "I don't mind telling you that." "I'll tell you, too, how scared I was my first night out here, how fear is the only thing you can see in the city at night." "The screaming, the dirt, the hunger, the jackals, the jackals, sick with blood, a sickness no army could destroy." "The shadows, but you know about them, right?" "How they covered your light?" "How they eat up what's good in the world." "Then when they're done, there's nothing to show for it there's nothing to show for it but their darkness, taking all the light..." "Putting out the flame..." "Drawing attention to themselves." "You didn't want these kind of decisions to make." "But here I am fucking that all up." "Fucking that all up." "You understand that this is the only move I have." "This is my burden." "This is my god I'm mad at." "And you, what's that you said once?" "We're all just pawns?" "You're right." "But pawns but pawns win the wars." "Carry this burden, lieutenant." "Finish this war." "Open your heart." "Come back home, and find me." "Come on, marsh." "Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up." "Ugh!" "Shit!" "Why do you have a gun, Sam?" "Why do you have a gun, Sam?" "It's nothing." "Are you in trouble again?" "I don't got time to clean up, so if you could just throw any of this stuff away, give it away." "Sam, what are you talking about?" "What are you doing?" "If anyone comes, just tell them I left." "You don't know where," "I just left." "I'm not telling anyone anything, it's okay." "You can stay with me." "It's okay." "I need to go." "Thanks." "Ugh!" "Into the bathroom." "Be quiet." "Now." "Go, girl." "Go, girl." "I'm all right." "Lieutenant Drake, we need to have a very long conversation." "I'm disappointed." "Aren't we all?" "The Drake of myth and lore in our company is a cold, calculating, finely tuned killing machine." "But now, Drake, by all appearances, by all appearances, you're just a man, a coward at that." "Here's a man that's apt to be without the proper guidance." "We did give you the guidance." "I don't even know who you are." "Ughhh!" "I'd find that surprising if I didn't know you went from our company to living under a bridge, then to driving frat boys then to driving frat boys and hookers around for pennies." "I'm sure there's plenty that passed you by." "That was the idea." "Ugh!" "Aah!" "Aah." "This is Mr. Stanford hull." "He's our company's founder." "And I'm here, because my chief executive," "Peter krebbs, was just murdered, and I hold you personally responsible for that." "Personally responsible for that." "Krebbs was the other one." "Yes, the other one." "You were a bum on the street, is that right?" "We did give you a second chance in life, correct?" "You did provide an ear," "Mr. Drake, as evidence of your services." "Now what happened?" "I can't tell you that." "I can't tell you that." "Oh!" "Lie to me, Mr. Drake, tell me this whole thing is a figment of my imagination, that when I call my number one krebbs on his cell phone, he's gonna answer as always, because he's alive and well." "Can you tell me that?" "No you can't, can you?" "What do you want?" "You're gonna tell me where Carter is." "Can't do that." "Krebbs gave you money which is my money and I'd like to see is my money and I'd like to see a return on it." "Did you even find Carter?" "Did you look?" "Or did the two of you go brokeback out there?" "Is that what this is about?" "If I knew where he was," "I'd kill him myself." "That's doubtful." "Get the spare." "Why don't you tell me what happened out there?" "I don't want anything to do with you." "Where is he?" "I'm not killing anyone for you." "That is the problem here." "Too late, Drake." "That's right." "Too fucking late." "Too fucking late." "Get the can." "Crazy sons of bitches." "Gaaaahhhhhhh!" "You outta your fuckin' mind!" "Aahhhhhh!" "Aahhhhhh!" "Beautiful method here you developed, Drake." "You remember this, don't you?" "Karma does travel internationally." "I thought everyone knew that." "You can't run from it." "You can't run from it." "It meets you wherever you go." "Looks like I forgot my most important tool." "Now, Mr. Drake, this is the last time." "We need to know where Carter is, and you need to tell us." "I'm not telling you shit." "It's a shame we couldn't it's a shame we couldn't have come to some understanding." "Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "I'm no animal, lieutenant." "You were next." "It's true." "Look in my jacket pocket." "It's all there." "I didn't realize our shooter was so eloquent." "Our shooter was so eloquent." "He's at the fire tower." "Same place." "He wants me to kill him." "I know what I've gotta do, so let me do it." "Not for you." "I just need to make a stop first." "Five minutes, Drake." "All I'm sayin' is that you got some shit to deal with, because you're hiding out at home, and you come down here to hide out so no one sees you, and then you come in here" "and you say you feel invisible." "And you say you feel invisible." "Well, yeah, of course you do." "I mean, that's just something" "I think we gotta look at." "Hey." "What the hell happened to you?" "What happened to you?" "Come here, sit down." "Hey, whoa." "Shh, it's all right." "Sit down." "What happened?" "Who did this to you?" "Who did this to you?" "I did this." "I did it." "I did this." "I did it." "All right." "Why don't you just sit down?" "I can't--I can't stay." "What's this?" "My brother." "You remember?" "Can you give this to him?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "All right." "I will." "Can you sit down for me?" "I can't sit down now." "There are people outside waiting for me." "Wait, you mean the people who did this to you, they're outside?" "They're outside?" "They're outside right now?" "It's all right." "They're gonna help make it right." "Don't fuck with me, Drake." "It's okay." "I just wanted to say thank you." "Thank you for just being there." "Can you please just get this to my brother?" "Yeah." "I'm gonna do that." "All right?" "I'm gonna do that in about five minutes." "Marsh!" "Marsh." "Marsh." "What is this?" "What, what do you want?" "The private sec" "The private sector." "You're private sector." "You didn't tell me you were a fucking mercenary." "That's what this is about?" "Marsh." "You forgot to mention that one, you fucking animals!" "You wanna fight for the corporations?" "Go be a goddamn security guard!" "You leave this boy alone!" "I've been trying to leave 'em, I got shit to clean up!" "That's why they're here!" "All right." "I ain't got shit to do with them after this." "Mm-hmm." "The war's over." "Ain't that right, marsh?" "The war's over." "No!" "Okay, okay." "Drake?" "What is it?" "I knew you'd come." "You're my friend." "You're my friend." "Fuck you, Carter." "You almost got me killed." "I knew I'd see you again." "Turn around." "Turn around, goddamn it." "I'm not shootin' you in the back." "In the back." "It'll be better." "It'll be better next time." "All of this'll be gone." "Leave this shit behind." "Leave this shit behind." "It's better that way." "You know that feeling, that feeling when it's all clear?" "I can see it." "I can see it all now." "No more words, Carter." "No praise." "No blame." "No blame, lieutenant!" "This is it." "This is it." "This is all there is, and that's okay." "That's okay." "This..." "Is it!" "Where is the continuity from life to death?" "Where do we take our complaints when the transition isn't smooth?" "Whose name do we call when we're ready to return?" "We're ready to return?" "Call my name when I'm no longer here." "Say it once, so time will remember." "Don't let me die unknown." "Tell someone you knew me when."
