[Cornel West on radio] It means
that poverty is a new slavery.
50
00:03:37,516 --> 00:03:38,224
It means that the new Jim Crow
51
00:03:38,308 --> 00:03:42,599
is an intense form of slavery.
52
00:03:42,682 --> 00:03:47,682
It means that working people
locked into a declining economy
53
00:03:49,016 --> 00:03:52,433
in which wages stagnate,
prices escalate,
54
00:03:52,516 --> 00:03:54,766
and profits go, hit the top,
55
00:03:54,849 --> 00:03:56,515
is also a form of slavery,

literally speaking.
57
00:03:58,682 --> 00:04:00,599
Now, climate change for me,
is a very serious issue.

00:04:00,682 --> 00:04:03,557
I don't think it's going
to be the catalytic issue.
59

I think it's either going to
be revolutionary transformation

that allows us to

so we can treat nature as a
"thou" rather than an "it,"

my life is going to
be like a wasteland."
66

goes in the machine in there,

we form sheets on screens,

it's up to you, a blank slate.

00:10:22,515 --> 00:10:23,182
[material ripping]
176
00:10:24,348 --> 00:10:24,891
[Nate] the best come
out of the Survival...
177
00:10:24,974 --> 00:10:25,599
Feels good, huh?
178
00:10:25,682 --> 00:10:26,599
[Nate] Survival manual...
179
00:10:26,682 --> 00:10:28,223
[Nate] How to get water
out of a cactus...
180
00:10:28,307 --> 00:10:29,599
I been hooked on paper making
181
00:10:29,682 --> 00:10:31,390
ever since the first
time I heard that sound.
182
00:10:32,682 --> 00:10:34,348
Snare a seagull's
leg or some shit.
183
00:10:34,432 --> 00:10:35,099
[laughter]
Like impossible things,
184
00:10:35,182 --> 00:10:37,849
if you got to jump off a ship,
185
00:10:37,932 --> 00:10:39,891
they advise you to
take your pants off
186
00:10:39,974 --> 00:10:40,599
and put them over your head.
187
00:10:40,682 --> 00:10:41,265
[Will] That shit works?
188
00:10:41,348 --> 00:10:42,432
[Nate] I don't know.
189
00:10:42,515 --> 00:10:45,432
I guess it kinda does!
it's better than nothing, but...
190
00:10:45,515 --> 00:10:46,891
[Eli] So sometimes
what we'll do
191
00:10:46,974 --> 00:10:49,849
is we'll cut the uniform
off the veteran's body.
192
00:10:51,182 --> 00:10:52,348
So like the first
guy who did it,
193
00:10:52,432 --> 00:10:54,098
he cut it from his own body
194
00:10:54,182 --> 00:10:58,098
and then I had him and another
friend cut it off my body
195
00:10:58,182 --> 00:10:59,640
as this sort of rite of passage.
196
00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:00,265
[Walt] Okinawa's a
pretty trippy place
197
00:11:00,348 --> 00:11:02,348
even without LSD.
198
00:11:02,432 --> 00:11:05,599
So I remember
going, in high school,
199
00:11:05,682 --> 00:11:07,766
going the guidance
counselors office.
200
00:11:07,849 --> 00:11:11,223
"What do you want to
do after you graduate?"
201
00:11:11,307 --> 00:11:13,390
So I wrote on there,
202
00:11:13,474 --> 00:11:16,807
I wanna go to college
and work with computers
203
00:11:18,098 --> 00:11:21,557
and I spelled college
and computers wrong.
204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,724
I was never really
good at spelling.
205
00:11:22,807 --> 00:11:25,058
[Kevin laughs]
206
00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:25,974
I'm better now, but
207
00:11:27,515 --> 00:11:29,474
the guy pivots in his
chair, within arm's reach
208
00:11:29,557 --> 00:11:33,223
is a whole rack of
recruiting pamphlets.
209
00:11:33,307 --> 00:11:36,098
He grabs the US Army with
the Apache helicopter
210
00:11:36,182 --> 00:11:37,557
right on the top.
211
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,599
Up against the car and I
said, I'm here for the party.
212
00:11:39,682 --> 00:11:41,724
I'm here for the party
because I genuinely thought
213
00:11:41,807 --> 00:11:42,932
that I was at the right house.
214
00:11:43,016 --> 00:11:45,265
I thought I was there
for, for a party
215
00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:46,515
and he said, I
don't know that guy.
216
00:11:46,599 --> 00:11:51,432
They cuffed me, stuffed me,
took me to the county jail.
217
00:11:51,515 --> 00:11:55,724
Wrong fucking house.
Felony criminal trespass,
218
00:11:55,807 --> 00:11:57,932
public intoxication,
219
00:11:58,807 --> 00:12:00,265
do 90 days in jail,
220
00:12:00,348 --> 00:12:04,474
then after that go to the
military, I get a clean record.
221
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:08,515
My life was going this
direction and very suddenly,
222
00:12:09,807 --> 00:12:11,807
it turned and went
this direction,
223
00:12:11,891 --> 00:12:14,724
like I stepped into an
alternative reality or something.
224
00:12:15,807 --> 00:12:17,474
So how are you
holding up, man?
225
00:12:18,682 --> 00:12:19,474
I'm good man, thanks.
226
00:12:22,891 --> 00:12:24,849
You sleeping?
227
00:12:24,932 --> 00:12:27,557
[both scoffing]
228
00:12:29,474 --> 00:12:30,766
Yeah, me neither.
229
00:12:30,849 --> 00:12:32,265
So, you've been in touch
with his family yet, or what?
230
00:12:32,348 --> 00:12:35,390
Yeah man, I uh,
called his mom.
231
00:12:38,474 --> 00:12:40,640
I didn't know what the fuck
to say, just hysterical.
232
00:12:40,724 --> 00:12:42,182
There's not much you can say.
233
00:12:42,265 --> 00:12:45,599
I'm here, you know, need
anything, blah, blah, blah.
234
00:12:45,682 --> 00:12:48,307
Ask her for a photo or
uniform, make a memorial.
235
00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:51,682
It seems like every time
I'm finishing up one,
236
00:12:51,766 --> 00:12:52,307
I got to start on another.
237
00:12:55,432 --> 00:12:57,599
Yeah man, just let me
know what you want.
238
00:12:57,682 --> 00:12:59,015
I'm happy to help.
239
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:02,973
When I was at WestPoint,
they were talking about,
240
00:13:03,057 --> 00:13:06,057
"Well, we'll send them
the big battalions."
241
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:08,265
That's what they
sent in in 1965.
242
00:13:08,348 --> 00:13:10,849
Battalions? Not divisions?
243
00:13:12,766 --> 00:13:14,599
We didn't even have
helmets that much
244
00:13:14,682 --> 00:13:16,390
in, in that
timeframe in Vietnam.
245
00:13:22,432 --> 00:13:24,599
You know, I never saved
any of my uniforms,
246
00:13:24,682 --> 00:13:26,599
so I don't have one to cut up.
247
00:13:26,682 --> 00:13:28,098
[Kevin] Really?
248
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:29,766
[Jan] Yeah, I just wanted
to get out of the military,
249
00:13:29,849 --> 00:13:30,973
Finally got so frustrated,
I went and joined
250
00:13:31,057 --> 00:13:35,307
a peace demonstration in 1967.
251
00:13:37,515 --> 00:13:38,807
Somebody had provided a banner
252
00:13:38,891 --> 00:13:41,015
that said Vietnam
Veterans Against the War,
253
00:13:41,098 --> 00:13:41,931
so they were at the very
beginning of this march
254
00:13:42,015 --> 00:13:43,265
coming out of Central Park
255
00:13:47,182 --> 00:13:47,973
and we'd been told
256
00:13:48,057 --> 00:13:49,891
that you'd get in big trouble
257
00:13:49,973 --> 00:13:53,182
if you wore a uniform
to a political event,
258
00:13:54,515 --> 00:13:56,098
[Isabelle ripping uniform]
but in January of 68,
259
00:13:56,182 --> 00:13:57,849
enough people were
fed up with the fact
260
00:13:57,931 --> 00:14:00,348
that the war continued
and continued.
261
00:14:00,432 --> 00:14:05,307
[train whirring]
262
00:14:07,931 --> 00:14:12,973
[suspenseful music]
263
00:14:22,557 --> 00:14:27,474
[Woman's laughter]
[voices chattering]
264
00:14:48,682 --> 00:14:50,307
Timothy or Tim
265
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:52,307
either is really fine.
266
00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:55,098
So am I supposed to say
how I feel or something?
267
00:14:55,182 --> 00:14:56,307
Know how the little smileys,
268
00:14:56,390 --> 00:14:58,057
you know, that says
like, "How d'ya feel?"
269
00:14:58,140 --> 00:14:59,849
- Nah...
- Yeah?
270
00:14:59,931 --> 00:15:01,766
[both chuckling]
271
00:15:01,848 --> 00:15:03,848
- All right?
- Yeah, fair.
272
00:15:09,015 --> 00:15:12,432
[door clicking]
[alarm chimes]
273
00:15:12,515 --> 00:15:14,557
Hi, Neil.
274
00:15:14,557 --> 00:15:18,348
Thousands of people,
veterans, staff members,
275
00:15:18,432 --> 00:15:20,515
family members coming
and going to the hospital
276
00:15:20,599 --> 00:15:22,807
and also residents
on the street.
277
00:15:23,848 --> 00:15:25,057
I took out this sign.
278
00:15:29,348 --> 00:15:31,223
This project had been on
my mind for some time.
279
00:15:31,307 --> 00:15:34,599
Alright, Bud, I'll
see ya next week.
280
00:15:34,682 --> 00:15:35,973
Okay, thank you.
281
00:15:37,057 --> 00:15:37,973
Awesome.
282
00:15:38,057 --> 00:15:40,599
Every time I called it
a war Timothy got upset.
283
00:15:40,682 --> 00:15:41,474
Corrects me.
284
00:15:42,807 --> 00:15:43,265
[Ed] What did he
want you to call it?
285
00:15:45,348 --> 00:15:46,474
An occupation.
286
00:15:48,682 --> 00:15:51,474
Shit, Vietnam was an
occupation too, still a war.
287
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,973
This is different.
288
00:15:54,057 --> 00:15:56,182
Every generation thinks
their war is different.
289
00:15:56,265 --> 00:15:58,057
You know, I'm back
on the meds myself.
290
00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:01,432
I'm sorry to hear that.
291
00:16:01,515 --> 00:16:04,057
I figured I was pretty
well past all this shit.
292
00:16:05,432 --> 00:16:10,557
Then I started seeing you
guys coming home, burned,
293
00:16:12,182 --> 00:16:15,766
amputated limbs, PTSD, this
traumatic brain injury now,
294
00:16:16,474 --> 00:16:17,265
all that shit.
295
00:16:17,348 --> 00:16:17,474
Just like when I came back.
296
00:16:20,682 --> 00:16:22,057
Resurrects a lot of shit.
297
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:26,348
You've been doing peer
to peer now for what?
298
00:16:26,432 --> 00:16:28,765
Three years? It's inevitable.
299
00:16:28,848 --> 00:16:30,432
You were gonna go through this.
300
00:16:30,515 --> 00:16:32,599
I'm thinking some time off.
301
00:16:32,682 --> 00:16:35,848
Did you speak to his regular
doctor or his VA shrink?
302
00:16:35,931 --> 00:16:38,474
The department's looking
into this kid's case,
303
00:16:38,557 --> 00:16:40,223
but you know what
they're going to say.
304
00:16:40,307 --> 00:16:43,015
They didn't know
about the other meds.
305
00:16:43,848 --> 00:16:45,931
Everyone signs that agreement.
306
00:16:46,015 --> 00:16:49,015
They're not getting meds
from an outside provider.
307
00:16:49,098 --> 00:16:50,432
That's how they
cover their asses.
308
00:16:50,515 --> 00:16:52,348
VA is gonna wash
their hands of it.
309
00:16:52,432 --> 00:16:56,057
I know the system's
fucked in a lot of ways,
310
00:16:56,140 --> 00:16:57,474
but it ain't on them.
311
00:16:57,557 --> 00:17:00,432
And it ain't on you either,
brother, you gotta know that.
312
00:17:00,515 --> 00:17:04,557
Either he had a provider
from outside the system
313
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,723
or he was getting that
shit off the street.
314
00:17:07,765 --> 00:17:09,307
I know what you're
going through.
315
00:17:11,682 --> 00:17:15,973
I mean, shit, if he was lying
about what he was taking,
316
00:17:16,057 --> 00:17:18,848
there's really no way
for anyone to know.
317
00:17:20,182 --> 00:17:23,390
I hate to say it, but
if a kid wants to die,
318
00:17:26,182 --> 00:17:27,640
he's gonna find a way.
319
00:17:28,515 --> 00:17:33,098

325
00:18:42,723 --> 00:18:47,098
I mean, you can feel it,
people, Arkansas, California.
326
00:18:47,182 --> 00:18:48,931
- Was cold as shit.
- Cold as shit!
327
00:18:49,931 --> 00:18:50,639
The youth started that fight.
328
00:18:50,723 --> 00:18:52,931
- Hm mm.
- The elders lost it.
329
00:18:54,474 --> 00:18:55,265
'Cause they were telling us,
330
00:18:55,348 --> 00:18:56,765
"Yeah, we can trust the courts."
331
00:18:56,848 --> 00:18:59,931
"This thing it's gonna
be fine, we can go home."
332
00:19:00,015 --> 00:19:01,765
"We don't want
anyone to get hurt."

Meanwhile, the kids
were the radicals.
334
00:19:05,557 --> 00:19:07,307
They were saying, "No, we
don't want this pipeline."
335
00:19:07,390 --> 00:19:09,223
- "Or any pipeline."
- Right, right.

don't trust the President.

block this thing."

- Hey, welcome back.
- S'up?

Just getting set up.
340
00:19:19,681 --> 00:19:20,723
Can I help?
341
00:19:20,806 --> 00:19:21,474
Yeah all of this
has to go out.

[Walt] Belgium. They
rebuilt it, actually...
349
00:19:44,557 --> 00:19:47,098
[Eli] When you rebuild
a building like that, though
350
00:19:47,182 --> 00:19:48,265
is it still, like...
351

352
00:19:49,848 --> 00:19:51,057
[Eli] it's not the same thing.
353
00:19:52,349 --> 00:19:55,140
[Eli] Feel like they should
have to give it a different name
354
00:19:55,223 --> 00:19:58,765
[Eli] If something's destroyed you can't
rename its replacement the same thing
355
00:19:58,848 --> 00:20:03,182
[Walt] Well, ya know, the...
[Eli] Let the name die with the thing
356
00:20:03,265 --> 00:20:04,848
[Walt] It didn't die
357
00:20:06,182 --> 00:20:07,474
[Eli] If it burned
down, it fuckin died
358
00:20:07,556 --> 00:20:08,931
[Walt] it was resurrected
359
00:20:09,015 --> 00:20:11,307
[Eli] It's a building, it ain't-
a fucking Messiah.
360
00:20:11,390 --> 00:20:13,265
[Walt] Well, I'll tell you something,
if there's any possibility...
361
00:20:13,348 --> 00:20:17,556
of a ressurrection,
I would think....
362
00:20:18,681 --> 00:20:23,390
Nah, I was uh... I
deployed three times.

he - he is still a hero.

acknowledges what he did,
371
00:20:45,556 --> 00:20:50,390
y'know, warning Congress
about all these capitalists

Roosevelt administration.

It's okay

Sometimes you'll get really
rough ones like this,
376
00:20:58,514 --> 00:21:00,140
but you know, once you
get the hang of it,
377
00:21:00,223 --> 00:21:03,432
you can make them smooth
and corners sharp.

the Beglians that.

shouldn't rebuild shit

when it's destroyed,
by all means we should,
387
00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:28,598
but I think you should give
it a new name, a new identity
388
00:21:28,681 --> 00:21:30,432

- Well, I'm gonna write...
389

the end of one life,

[Walt] A letter, the
Belgians and tell them...
394
00:21:41,765 --> 00:21:43,390
[Eli] Tell em to
change that fucking name.
395
00:21:43,473 --> 00:21:45,098
[Walt] Rename it the
Eli Wright Building.

love about this process is,

it's forgiving, you know?
403
00:22:16,514 --> 00:22:18,890
Like if you fuck up,
you can always fix it
404
00:22:18,973 --> 00:22:20,848
and you can always do it over.

all to the ground,

of light in the shadows.

00:39:32,014 --> 00:39:34,722
You remember how
695
00:39:34,805 --> 00:39:36,388
they used to fire
off guns at weddings?
696
00:39:38,222 --> 00:39:41,597
Full auto, 30 round bursts.
697
00:39:44,264 --> 00:39:45,680
Must go through
a dozen magazines
698
00:39:45,764 --> 00:39:46,347
every time someone gets married.
699
00:39:57,347 --> 00:40:00,264
In the beginning when
we first got in country,
700
00:40:02,597 --> 00:40:06,764
we'd hear shots off
in the distance,
701
00:40:06,847 --> 00:40:08,056
four or five miles away.
702
00:40:08,139 --> 00:40:11,139
And we'd see the tracers
flying up through the air.
703
00:40:11,222 --> 00:40:14,222
We would go tearing
down the road
704
00:40:14,306 --> 00:40:15,472
in our gun trucks,
looking for a fight.
705
00:40:19,097 --> 00:40:19,472
But there was nothing.
706
00:40:23,056 --> 00:40:26,764
No firefight, no insurgents.
707
00:40:28,056 --> 00:40:29,972
Just, just a couple of
people getting married.
708
00:40:34,722 --> 00:40:36,097
[Timothy sniffs]
709
00:40:36,181 --> 00:40:39,764
Of course. After, after a
while we figured it out,
710
00:40:41,306 --> 00:40:43,847
we'd hear the gunfire
at the certain hour
711
00:40:43,930 --> 00:40:47,430
and look at our
watches, figure out
712
00:40:47,513 --> 00:40:51,305
what day of the week it was,
nod back and forth and say,
713
00:40:51,388 --> 00:40:56,264
"Yup, just another
wedding." Right?
714
00:41:06,847 --> 00:41:11,930
But I don't think we ever
really did figure it out.
715
00:41:16,889 --> 00:41:20,056
[Will] What was
there to figure out?
716
00:41:25,222 --> 00:41:27,430
that it was...
717
00:41:27,513 --> 00:41:30,680
just a couple of people
getting married.
718
00:41:32,014 --> 00:41:32,346
Timothy, let me
ask you something.
719
00:41:35,181 --> 00:41:37,388
Why do you think they
turned down your claim?
720
00:41:38,222 --> 00:41:39,972
I really don't know.
721
00:41:42,097 --> 00:41:43,555
Look,
722
00:41:45,056 --> 00:41:47,139
to be approved by the
VA for post-traumatic stress.
723
00:41:48,472 --> 00:41:51,597
You got to demonstrate
some traumatic experience.
724
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,305
Life-threatening situation,
something along those lines.
725
00:41:57,305 --> 00:41:59,305
- See what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
726
00:42:02,513 --> 00:42:04,972
When I looked at
the VA's decision,
727
00:42:05,056 --> 00:42:07,388
it says you didn't have
that kind of experience.
728
00:42:09,181 --> 00:42:10,930
I told them my story.
729
00:42:12,097 --> 00:42:13,889
They just didn't get it.
730
00:42:19,513 --> 00:42:21,181
[Will] Yeah, well.
731
00:42:21,889 --> 00:42:24,014
That happens.
732
00:42:26,930 --> 00:42:28,764
You think you could
tell me your story?
733
00:42:34,972 --> 00:42:35,764
Yeah.
734
00:42:36,805 --> 00:42:38,930
[Timothy sniffs]
735
00:42:39,014 --> 00:42:39,430
Yeah, of course.
736
00:42:41,764 --> 00:42:44,555
[suspenseful music]
737
00:42:49,263 --> 00:42:52,014
[hammer tapping]
738
00:43:15,014 --> 00:43:18,930
[men talking softly]
739
00:43:20,847 --> 00:43:24,305
[hammer tapping]
740
00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:31,472
Eli, the labels
go on lower right?
741
00:43:33,014 --> 00:43:34,097
Yeah.
742
00:43:34,180 --> 00:43:36,597
He's gonna come along and
move 'em all, anyway...
743
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,221
[Nate's laughter]
[music cresting]
744
00:43:39,346 --> 00:43:40,680
[Walt] All the artwork
you see in this gallery
745
00:43:40,764 --> 00:43:43,930
was handmade from
American military uniforms.
746
00:43:44,014 --> 00:43:47,097
We take the uniforms, we
cut them into small pieces
747
00:43:47,180 --> 00:43:49,472
- and we put them...
- We were involved in
748
00:43:49,555 --> 00:43:50,346
Interrogation processes...
749
00:43:52,638 --> 00:43:54,347
Sure, US put him in
there in the first place.
750
00:43:54,430 --> 00:43:56,263
As a medic they want you to
monitor and - and -
751
00:43:58,597 --> 00:44:02,430
- [Sarah] throw acid on
LaVena Johnson's genitals
752
00:44:02,513 --> 00:44:05,847
[Eli] whether they're able to
endure further interrogation
753
00:44:05,930 --> 00:44:08,972
So, at this point, this dude had
been in there for three days
754
00:44:09,056 --> 00:44:10,097
It's been a disaster!
755
00:44:10,180 --> 00:44:12,430
Johnny was involved
in multiple situations
756
00:44:12,513 --> 00:44:14,597
Where they kept calling
him back to take care of...
757
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:15,680
- all of these prisoners
- Peace is the only...
758
00:44:15,764 --> 00:44:18,597
- real war memorial.
- interrogation processes that...
759
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,056
included torture.
760
00:44:21,138 --> 00:44:22,889
Coming back from Iraq,
Johnny killed himself.
761
00:44:22,972 --> 00:44:24,764
They give you a free
hall if someone dies.
762
00:44:24,847 --> 00:44:26,847
A lot of the artists
are on the premises now
763
00:44:26,930 --> 00:44:28,472
All outta wine,
I'll go get some.
764
00:44:28,555 --> 00:44:30,472
Nah, it's cool, I'll get it.
765
00:44:30,555 --> 00:44:34,056
It is a way to kind
of tell their stories,
766
00:44:34,138 --> 00:44:35,096
since they can't.
767
00:44:35,180 --> 00:44:37,346
Thank you for your service!
768
00:44:38,430 --> 00:44:39,513
[door squeaks]
769
00:44:40,722 --> 00:44:43,889
[footsteps]
770
00:44:49,096 --> 00:44:49,388
[door squeaks]
771
00:44:51,555 --> 00:44:52,930
[footsteps]
772
00:44:54,847 --> 00:44:56,889
You heading out?
773
00:44:56,972 --> 00:44:58,513
Yeah, I was gonna
get some smokes.
774
00:45:05,055 --> 00:45:07,346
Man, I love Eli's piece with
the dude with a skeleton hand
775
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:08,930
and the phone? That
shit's bananas.
776
00:45:09,014 --> 00:45:11,096
Ah yeah, super dope piece.
777
00:45:11,180 --> 00:45:12,597
Barbed wire?
778
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,680
I'm gonna do something with
barbed wire, I got... an idea.
779
00:45:17,764 --> 00:45:19,221
Thought you quit?
780
00:45:20,014 --> 00:45:21,805
I did. But.
781
00:45:24,221 --> 00:45:24,930
I don't know, cigarettes
are my friend right now
782
00:45:25,014 --> 00:45:27,346
you know?
783
00:45:27,430 --> 00:45:29,805
Sometimes, you know, "cause
it kills you!" is just not
784
00:45:29,889 --> 00:45:30,472
a fucking 'nough, you know?
785
00:45:32,972 --> 00:45:33,889
Yeah, I try and
just think of it
786
00:45:33,972 --> 00:45:36,096
like this giant
corporation that could
787
00:45:36,180 --> 00:45:37,430
give a fuck whether
I die or live, so...
788
00:45:39,472 --> 00:45:41,138
I don't want to be run by that.
789
00:45:42,263 --> 00:45:43,305
Don't wanna be dependent,
fuck that.
790
00:45:48,138 --> 00:45:51,096
You talk with a kind
of a lilty, like, lispy thing.
791
00:45:51,180 --> 00:45:53,388
Where are you from anyway?
792
00:45:54,847 --> 00:45:56,847
Baton Rouge.
793
00:46:00,305 --> 00:46:01,764
I don't think you mean lisp.
794
00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:05,597
[footsteps]
795
00:46:10,430 --> 00:46:12,138
And all those people in there?
796
00:46:12,221 --> 00:46:14,513
It's great that they
come out, you know, but...
797
00:46:16,180 --> 00:46:18,096
you can't, like, have
the conversation.
798
00:46:18,930 --> 00:46:20,305
You can't really have it.
799
00:46:21,555 --> 00:46:23,597
No one wants to talk
about dying, yeah.
800
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,805
There's never any
context for it, you know,
801
00:46:25,889 --> 00:46:28,055
we don't make space for
it, ever. We just...
802
00:46:30,430 --> 00:46:32,263
But then how do you...?
803
00:46:32,346 --> 00:46:33,472
Well, yeah, I mean, how
do you prevent something
804
00:46:33,555 --> 00:46:36,346
that you can't fucking
talk about ever, right?
805
00:46:38,638 --> 00:46:42,764
I had, uh, I had a friend
from New Orleans once,
806
00:46:42,847 --> 00:46:45,555
he was kind of a drug dealer,
but he was, he was a cool guy.
807
00:46:54,889 --> 00:46:57,555
It's right here.
808
00:46:57,638 --> 00:46:57,680
I'll wait here.
809
00:47:14,971 --> 00:47:18,555
[Isabelle sniffs]
810
00:47:28,805 --> 00:47:31,430
[Isabelle sobs]
811
00:47:43,722 --> 00:47:46,346
[car honking]
812
00:47:46,430 --> 00:47:50,221
[suspenseful music building]
813
00:47:54,929 --> 00:47:57,472
[Isabelle hyperventilating]
814
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,263
Yo, what are you doin'?
815
00:48:10,346 --> 00:48:11,430
[Isabelle sniffs]
816
00:48:11,513 --> 00:48:12,513
I'm okay.
817
00:48:12,597 --> 00:48:14,263
I'm just, this fucking
thing just keeps
818
00:48:14,346 --> 00:48:16,180
correcting me all
the fucking time.
819
00:48:16,263 --> 00:48:17,764
I'm fine.
[Isabelle sniffs]
820
00:48:17,847 --> 00:48:18,680
I'm good.
821
00:48:33,722 --> 00:48:36,346
Hey, maybe you should
just breathe, you know,
822
00:48:38,221 --> 00:48:39,221
take a breath?
823
00:48:42,805 --> 00:48:43,722
I'm okay.
824
00:48:47,138 --> 00:48:49,929
I had a flip phone, man.
825
00:48:50,013 --> 00:48:52,388
It like fucking creaked
when you opened it,
826
00:48:52,472 --> 00:48:53,263
it went [Isabelle
imitating creaking]
827
00:48:53,346 --> 00:48:54,971
and it worked fine.
828
00:48:56,513 --> 00:48:59,180
It fucking was fine. It
never told me what to do.
829
00:48:59,263 --> 00:49:00,096
You know?
830
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,430
[Isabelle sighs]
831
00:49:17,513 --> 00:49:20,597
Are we gonna stand here...
and breathe?
832
00:49:23,638 --> 00:49:25,388
And you're gonna tell me
that I'm not a bad person
833
00:49:28,472 --> 00:49:29,346
and that I deserve to be okay.
834
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:32,555
Right?
835
00:49:33,513 --> 00:49:35,013
You're not a bad person.
836
00:49:39,221 --> 00:49:40,346
How do you know?
837
00:49:54,472 --> 00:49:59,013
Look, let me bring these in
and I'll like... come back down.
838
00:49:59,096 --> 00:49:59,888
Okay?
839
00:50:01,722 --> 00:50:04,180
[footsteps]
840
00:50:15,180 --> 00:50:17,929

[door closes]
844
00:51:09,263 --> 00:51:11,263
Ya know I don't really know
what you're doing over there
845
00:51:11,346 --> 00:51:12,763
at that uh - that paper thing.
846
00:51:12,846 --> 00:51:14,763
But I was trying to
tell Mom about it?
847
00:51:14,846 --> 00:51:16,804
I don't know how she's gonna be.
848
00:51:16,888 --> 00:51:18,388
I told her that you
wanted to see her,
849
00:51:18,472 --> 00:51:20,096
but she still got
that pain in her back.
850
00:51:20,180 --> 00:51:21,430
And I don't know, it's a...
851
00:51:24,513 --> 00:51:25,263
Hey, how's that, uh,
phone working out?
852
00:51:27,180 --> 00:51:30,221
[Dino and Mom chattering
in other room]
853
00:51:30,305 --> 00:51:31,763
[Mom] Cha cha cha.
854
00:51:31,846 --> 00:51:35,472
[Mom laughs]

00:51:35,555 --> 00:51:37,305

[Mom laughs]
857
00:51:46,971 --> 00:51:49,221
[Mom] What?
858
00:51:49,305 --> 00:51:50,597
[Dino] I've got Izze
outside, she wants to say hi,
859
00:51:50,679 --> 00:51:52,846
you know, she came over,
she's doing better...
860
00:51:52,929 --> 00:51:54,721
[Mom] What's different,
with her? What's different?
861
00:51:54,804 --> 00:51:56,263
[Dino] It's a good thing.
862
00:51:56,346 --> 00:51:57,430
You know, she she's got her
whole life sorta worked out
863
00:51:57,513 --> 00:51:59,305
- Vets, military...
- Ugh, God!
864
00:51:59,388 --> 00:52:00,597
[Dino] No, no it's good.
865
00:52:01,929 --> 00:52:02,597
No, it's it's a good
thing, it's good.
866
00:52:02,679 --> 00:52:05,305
Let her dedicate herself.
867
00:52:12,513 --> 00:52:14,180
She came all the way out here.
868
00:52:14,263 --> 00:52:15,472
Do it for me please. Would
you just go talk to her?
869
00:52:15,555 --> 00:52:18,180
I dragged her all
the way out here.
870
00:52:19,679 --> 00:52:20,346
[Mom] I'm - I'm too busy today...
you're enough, believe me...
871
00:52:25,513 --> 00:52:29,055
[Mom] You're enough, you fill
my heart, it's all I need ok...
872
00:52:31,221 --> 00:52:33,679
[Dino] She's standin
out there, just...
873
00:52:38,888 --> 00:52:41,679
Sorry, kiddo she doesn't
want to see you right now.
874
00:52:41,763 --> 00:52:42,971
Next time, okay?
875
00:52:45,055 --> 00:52:46,430
[keys rattling]
876
00:52:49,013 --> 00:52:52,763
[vehicle rumbling]
877
00:52:59,763 --> 00:53:02,763
[Chris Hedges on Podcast] Well
we have to create, in essence,
878
00:53:02,846 --> 00:53:07,388
walled communities, where
we nurture and protect
879
00:53:07,472 --> 00:53:10,596
those values, that
the wider society
880
00:53:10,679 --> 00:53:11,388
are attempting to destroy.
881
00:53:14,305 --> 00:53:19,013
As much as possible we have to
create parallel institutions
882
00:53:19,096 --> 00:53:21,804
to sustain ourselves
and empower ourselves.
883
00:53:23,096 --> 00:53:25,013
And all of that will
be done locally.
884
00:53:27,221 --> 00:53:30,013
Because when collapse comes,
885
00:53:30,096 --> 00:53:31,554
we'll have to take
care of ourselves.
886
00:53:31,637 --> 00:53:36,596
That's why, you know,
food, local food markets,
887
00:53:37,846 --> 00:53:41,596
sustainable agriculture,
sustainable energy.
888
00:53:43,096 --> 00:53:46,055
You know, all of this becomes,
in moments of distress,
889
00:53:46,138 --> 00:53:48,180
these become political acts.
890
00:53:57,679 --> 00:53:59,346
[fabric ripping]
891
00:54:08,637 --> 00:54:10,679
How you doing with this?
892
00:54:12,180 --> 00:54:13,637
You doing all right?
893
00:54:13,721 --> 00:54:14,846
You wanna hand with this?
894
00:54:14,929 --> 00:54:16,721
Gimme a sleeve,
I'll help you out.
895
00:54:16,804 --> 00:54:18,263
[Kevin] Yeah,
pass me some, too.
896
00:54:18,346 --> 00:54:19,512
[scissors snipping]
897
00:54:19,596 --> 00:54:21,512
What's the story
with this uniform?
898
00:54:21,596 --> 00:54:22,430
What was the last
time you wore it?
899
00:54:34,472 --> 00:54:35,346
It was checkpoint.
900
00:54:36,637 --> 00:54:38,263
[uniform ripping]
901
00:54:39,055 --> 00:54:40,221
in Youssoufia.
902
00:54:41,554 --> 00:54:43,721
I was out there so fucking
long, I don't even know.
903
00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:49,471
Days, nights, weeks,
[scissors snipping]
904
00:54:49,554 --> 00:54:50,971
just out there in the heat,
905
00:54:53,180 --> 00:54:54,596
staring down a highway.
906
00:54:56,013 --> 00:54:57,471
A hundred hours of heat
goes by with nothing.
907
00:54:59,763 --> 00:55:02,013
And then a car comes
out of nowhere.
908
00:55:03,013 --> 00:55:04,180
[suspenseful music rising]
909
00:55:04,263 --> 00:55:06,846
our CO told us there's
only one way to tell,
910
00:55:06,929 --> 00:55:09,013
[fabric ripping]
911
00:55:09,096 --> 00:55:10,679
the good guys from the bad guys.
912
00:55:14,846 --> 00:55:16,471
The bad guys don't stop.
913
00:55:19,554 --> 00:55:23,596
We'd fire, and we'd
walk up to the vehicle,
914
00:55:26,180 --> 00:55:28,096
[Isabelle breathing deeply]
915
00:55:28,180 --> 00:55:30,679
and almost every single time,
916
00:55:31,721 --> 00:55:35,846
there was nothing, there
were no explosives.
917
00:55:35,929 --> 00:55:37,471
There were no weapons.
918
00:55:43,804 --> 00:55:45,388
And we kept trying
to figure it out
919
00:55:45,471 --> 00:55:47,180
what the fuck was going on?
920
00:55:48,096 --> 00:55:50,263
Why don't they fucking stop?
921
00:55:52,388 --> 00:55:56,596
I know in our AO,
we covered everything
922
00:55:56,679 --> 00:55:57,388
between Ramadi and Fallujah,
923
00:55:59,679 --> 00:56:02,096
almost to Abu Ghraib,
we were over there
924
00:56:02,180 --> 00:56:03,637
when the photos got leaked,
925
00:56:04,888 --> 00:56:06,055
all of a sudden word's
out on the street,
926
00:56:06,138 --> 00:56:09,387
every Iraqi knows that we're
torturing the shit out of them.
927
00:56:11,305 --> 00:56:13,263
I don't blame them for not
stopping at the checkpoint.
928
00:56:14,596 --> 00:56:15,263
They thought that
we might arrest them
929
00:56:15,346 --> 00:56:17,471
and send them to Abu Ghraib too.
930
00:56:19,180 --> 00:56:21,637
We never never get the story
from the Iraqi's perspective.
931
00:56:21,721 --> 00:56:23,180
[scissors snipping]
932
00:56:23,263 --> 00:56:25,346
Some foreign military
was on my street?
933
00:56:29,305 --> 00:56:31,346
You know how that would go,
here in the US.
934
00:56:33,096 --> 00:56:33,429
Red Dawn in every town.
935
00:56:35,180 --> 00:56:36,055
Red Dawn in every town.
936
00:56:36,138 --> 00:56:37,512
Guilt and shame...
937
00:56:38,721 --> 00:56:42,138
are pretty fucking heavy
to carry with you.
938
00:56:44,554 --> 00:56:46,345
World War II vets didn't
come back and kill themselves
939
00:56:46,429 --> 00:56:49,429
in these kinds of
numbers, right?
940
00:56:49,512 --> 00:56:50,637
They had a clear mission.
941
00:56:50,721 --> 00:56:52,138
They knew who they
were fighting.
942
00:56:53,512 --> 00:56:55,013
They believed in their purpose.
943
00:56:59,055 --> 00:57:01,263
It didn't take me
very long to realize
944
00:57:01,345 --> 00:57:04,971
that there was nothing
there for me to believe in.
945
00:57:05,055 --> 00:57:08,013
[scissors cutting]
946
00:57:09,096 --> 00:57:11,013
In this bullshit
war, who's proud?
947
00:57:14,180 --> 00:57:15,305
I'm proud I survived.
948
00:57:16,554 --> 00:57:18,929
Yeah, proud of doing this.
949
00:57:19,013 --> 00:57:21,971
[scissors cutting]
950
00:57:23,345 --> 00:57:26,929
Take a lot of pride in how
many uniforms I've cut up.
951
00:57:27,013 --> 00:57:29,096
[chuckling]
952
00:57:29,180 --> 00:57:31,888
Wonder what kind of uniforms
will be cutting up in 10 years?
953
00:57:31,971 --> 00:57:32,971
You know, what color
are those going to be?
954
00:57:33,055 --> 00:57:33,596
Spacesuits.
955
00:57:33,679 --> 00:57:35,512
Spacesuits [laughs].
956
00:57:35,596 --> 00:57:37,055
Spaceforce!
957
00:57:37,138 --> 00:57:39,554
Tinfoil and goddamn nylon.
958
00:57:39,637 --> 00:57:42,055
You guys are startin to sound
like a couple of Commies over here
959
00:57:42,138 --> 00:57:43,013
I don't give a fuck, I'll say it
960
00:57:44,679 --> 00:57:46,013
We'll be up there fighting
space ISIS, in orbit!
961
00:57:46,096 --> 00:57:49,387
Space ISIS, there you go.
962
00:57:51,721 --> 00:57:53,263
Coming home from a
war that you don't feel
963
00:57:53,345 --> 00:57:56,387
morally justified
being a part of...
964
00:57:56,471 --> 00:57:57,763
is not easy to live with.
965
00:58:01,429 --> 00:58:04,596
Especially if you drank the
Kool-Aid all along... then have
966
00:58:04,679 --> 00:58:09,679
to wake up to that one day
and realize that instead of
967
00:58:11,221 --> 00:58:12,429
being one of the Jedi, we
were the Storm Troopers.
968
00:58:13,888 --> 00:58:16,262
[dramatic tone]

[lid closing]
971
00:58:29,637 --> 00:58:33,763
Find out that my bags
are lost on the airline
972
00:58:33,846 --> 00:58:36,262
and all I got's my
Black Sabbath t-shirt.
973
00:58:36,345 --> 00:58:37,429
[laughs]
974
00:58:37,512 --> 00:58:39,180
So next morning I
show up to formation.
975
00:58:39,262 --> 00:58:41,055
Sergeant comes out and he goes,
976
00:58:41,138 --> 00:58:43,512
"What the fuck are you doing?"
977
00:58:43,596 --> 00:58:44,471
I don't have my uniforms.
978
00:58:44,554 --> 00:58:47,055
He said, all right
Ozzy, just get down
979
00:58:47,138 --> 00:58:48,429
and start pushing.
980
00:58:48,512 --> 00:58:49,763
- [laughs]
- Ozzy...
981
00:58:49,846 --> 00:58:51,220
Moment of truth.
982
00:58:51,304 --> 00:58:54,596
Hey, have you guys seen
Will in the past couple weeks?
983
00:58:54,679 --> 00:58:56,220
Nah, not really.
984
00:58:56,304 --> 00:58:57,220
It's been a while.
985
00:58:58,138 --> 00:59:00,055
Think he went upstate?
986
00:59:00,138 --> 00:59:00,429
To his dad's place?
987
00:59:03,512 --> 00:59:06,055
Yeah, probably hiding out in
the bunker for a little bit.
988
00:59:06,138 --> 00:59:08,096
I could use some time
chilling in the bunker,
989
00:59:08,180 --> 00:59:08,929
out of the city.
990
00:59:09,013 --> 00:59:11,096
It's a nice spot, too.
991
00:59:11,180 --> 00:59:12,345
You been up there yet?
992
00:59:12,429 --> 00:59:14,971
No, it's near where my
parents are from though.
993
00:59:15,055 --> 00:59:16,471
I know the town.
994
00:59:19,804 --> 00:59:20,471
Will, what's up?
995
00:59:21,180 --> 00:59:21,345
It's Nate.
996
00:59:23,387 --> 00:59:24,262
I don't know if you got
my last message, but...
997
00:59:24,345 --> 00:59:27,763
just calling to see
how you're doing.
998
00:59:28,846 --> 00:59:33,220
It's been busy, we
made a hell of a mess.
999
00:59:33,304 --> 00:59:37,262
So maybe it's good you're
gone, but I don't know.
1000
00:59:39,220 --> 00:59:40,971
Calling to see how you're doing.
1001
00:59:41,971 --> 00:59:42,888
Yeah, man. Hope you're well.
1002
00:59:42,971 --> 00:59:44,262
Hit us up,. Peace.

Whoa, whoa!

I got the Marine

1015
01:00:47,429 --> 01:00:48,262
C'mon, try and get out.
1016
01:00:49,013 --> 01:00:49,721
Come on.
1017
01:00:50,929 --> 01:00:51,637
Come on.
1018
01:00:52,679 --> 01:00:53,554
Is that the best you got?
1019
01:00:53,637 --> 01:00:54,262
I'm barely even holding on.
1020
01:00:54,345 --> 01:00:55,929
Come on soldier!
1021
01:00:56,013 --> 01:00:57,055
Come on. [laughs]
1022
01:00:57,846 --> 01:00:59,179
Why you go so easy on me?
1023
01:01:00,345 --> 01:01:03,095
Yo, we're heading to Claude's
if you wanna come.

1026

All right.

I am... sorry. [grunting]
1039
01:05:54,554 --> 01:05:55,095
I'm sorry.
1040
01:05:55,179 --> 01:05:55,928
You okay?
1041
01:05:56,012 --> 01:05:56,803
Me?
1042
01:05:57,512 --> 01:05:59,345
I'm, yeah, are you okay?
1043
01:06:02,179 --> 01:06:04,763
I almost got fucking

Fucking Confederate
flag hanging.
1046

01:25:12,802 --> 01:25:15,094
There's so much
and I can't say it.
1225
01:25:19,511 --> 01:25:20,927
I have threshold, man.
1226
01:25:22,844 --> 01:25:23,802
I have a threshold.
1227
01:25:24,511 --> 01:25:26,094
That's all I'm saying.
1228
01:25:27,844 --> 01:25:29,677
What's your threshold?
1229
01:25:35,178 --> 01:25:37,178
[sound of Will sitting down]
1230
01:25:37,595 --> 01:25:39,178
Timothy,
1231
01:25:40,677 --> 01:25:42,470
Last time we talked together,
1232
01:25:42,553 --> 01:25:45,511
told me about this woman
in a hardware store...
1233
01:25:47,303 --> 01:25:50,677
apron... selling him something,
1234
01:25:50,761 --> 01:25:51,886
who...
1235
01:25:53,011 --> 01:25:56,761
thanked him for his service.
1236
01:25:58,844 --> 01:26:03,886
How he doesn't blame her, but...
he's so fucking confused.
1237
01:26:08,094 --> 01:26:11,219
Are you thanking me for
killing people in Sadr City
1238
01:26:11,303 --> 01:26:13,178
who were just -
driving down the road?
1239
01:26:15,094 --> 01:26:17,428
Or how about for ripping a
man in Samarra away
1240
01:26:17,511 --> 01:26:18,428
from his family?
1241
01:26:20,511 --> 01:26:22,344
humiliating him,
detaining him,
1242
01:26:24,136 --> 01:26:25,761
starving him,
torturing him,
1243
01:26:25,844 --> 01:26:27,303
thousands and thousands of him?
1244
01:26:28,553 --> 01:26:30,553
Are you thanking me
for blowing up a school
1245
01:26:30,635 --> 01:26:32,719
or for blowing up
a hospital?
1246
01:26:34,511 --> 01:26:38,261
Are you thanking me for
slaughtering a family in Mahmudiya?
1247
01:26:40,386 --> 01:26:43,886
Maybe you're thanking me
for collateral murder.
1248
01:26:45,428 --> 01:26:49,094
For SOP 360 rotational
fire on an entire village
1249
01:26:49,178 --> 01:26:51,011
in response to an IED.
1250
01:26:52,011 --> 01:26:53,303
Or you feel some gratitude
1251
01:26:53,386 --> 01:26:56,594
that we protected the interests
of Exxon - and laid down
1252
01:26:56,677 --> 01:27:01,136
our lives for Halliburton or
quadrupled profits for Raytheon.
1253
01:27:01,219 --> 01:27:03,594
Could you be thanking me for
Abu Ghraib?
1254
01:27:03,677 --> 01:27:05,761
or just for taking the pictures?
1255
01:27:07,094 --> 01:27:10,552
No... you're thanking
me for the kill count.
1256
01:27:11,677 --> 01:27:14,178
200,000 dead civilians.
1257
01:27:15,344 --> 01:27:16,927
Or is it "thank you
for the drone strikes"
1258
01:27:17,011 --> 01:27:21,969
that destroyed Mosul, Ramadi,
Aleppo, Baghdad, Rakka...
1259
01:27:23,969 --> 01:27:26,303
Thank you for MST?
1260
01:27:26,386 --> 01:27:28,552
For burn pits?
1261
01:27:28,635 --> 01:27:32,053
Maybe I should thank you for standing
by while it was all happening.
1262
01:27:32,136 --> 01:27:34,594
I mean, I know you're not
thanking me for being a hero.
1263
01:27:34,677 --> 01:27:36,344
I was a pawn.
1264
01:27:43,969 --> 01:27:44,761
Anyway.
1265
01:27:46,927 --> 01:27:48,470
That's what I would've said.
1266
01:27:52,635 --> 01:27:54,178
I would never say all that.
1267
01:27:56,594 --> 01:27:57,886
That's what his death said.
1268
01:28:00,469 --> 01:28:01,761
A final fuck you.
1269
01:28:03,136 --> 01:28:04,886
All of them, just sitting there.
1270
01:28:04,969 --> 01:28:08,469
They don't even know
they're watching him die.
1271
01:28:12,552 --> 01:28:15,552
It's just the proportions
are off, you know?
1272
01:28:16,719 --> 01:28:18,761
Like why am I carrying
all this shit?
1273
01:28:20,344 --> 01:28:22,969
You'll never see a recruiter
in the Upper West Side.
1274
01:28:26,011 --> 01:28:27,094
Fuck it.
1275
01:28:28,178 --> 01:28:30,261
[sound of Will getting
up, walking away]
1276
01:28:31,552 --> 01:28:33,886
Three cheers for
the American dream.
1277
01:28:35,344 --> 01:28:37,927
The whole goddamn
world's nightmare, but...
1278
01:28:38,469 --> 01:28:40,094
our dream.
1279
01:28:42,053 --> 01:28:44,844
[birds chirping, stream flowing]
1280
01:29:26,635 --> 01:29:30,261
[crickets and fire crackling]
1281
01:30:07,303 --> 01:30:08,094
What?
1282
01:30:11,261 --> 01:30:12,677
What the fuck man?
1283
01:30:14,343 --> 01:30:17,761
Nothing, I'm just
fucking with you.
1284
01:30:19,343 --> 01:30:21,219
I just wanted to do one of
those war movie moments,
1285
01:30:21,303 --> 01:30:23,594
you know, where the
veterans like, oh fuck,
1286
01:30:23,677 --> 01:30:26,594
I'm going back there, and then
he like freaks the fuck out.
1287
01:30:29,094 --> 01:30:31,094
Some dude army crawling
at his kid's birthday
1288
01:30:31,178 --> 01:30:32,802
when a balloon pops.
1289
01:30:32,886 --> 01:30:34,469
Incoming!
1290
01:30:34,552 --> 01:30:36,385
[laughs]
1291
01:30:45,635 --> 01:30:46,343
I hate those fucking movies.
1292
01:30:48,302 --> 01:30:49,302
Yep.
1293
01:30:49,385 --> 01:30:51,427
Fuck American Sniper.
1294
01:30:51,510 --> 01:30:52,094
Fuck Hurt Locker.
1295
01:30:52,178 --> 01:30:54,719
Fuck Zero Dark Thirty.
1296
01:30:54,802 --> 01:30:57,761
Especially fuck
Saving Private Ryan.
1297
01:30:57,844 --> 01:31:00,594
Fuckin ra ra military bullshit.
1298
01:31:00,677 --> 01:31:01,802
Good War bullshit.
1299
01:31:01,886 --> 01:31:03,469
Like there can be a good one.
1300
01:31:04,011 --> 01:31:05,385
Fuck that.
1301
01:31:12,552 --> 01:31:14,677
[crickets]
1302
01:31:20,136 --> 01:31:21,302
Yo check this out.
1303
01:31:22,802 --> 01:31:24,719
This is the outer material
for a sleeping bag.
1304
01:31:26,802 --> 01:31:31,260
Doesn't have any date on it,
but I think it's like - Fifties?
1305
01:31:31,343 --> 01:31:32,469
maybe even Forties?
1306
01:31:34,260 --> 01:31:36,053
It was the rain cover.
1307
01:31:38,510 --> 01:31:39,844
Keeps everything out.
1308
01:31:42,552 --> 01:31:43,469
This would make some
awesome paper, but...
1309
01:31:46,802 --> 01:31:48,260
It's also pretty fucking
awesome as it is, right?
1310
01:31:50,510 --> 01:31:52,011
I don't know what to do with it.
1311
01:31:58,011 --> 01:31:58,802
What's up?
1312
01:32:03,136 --> 01:32:04,761
We gonna have a staring contest?
1313
01:32:12,178 --> 01:32:13,011
What is it?
1314
01:32:14,178 --> 01:32:16,927
Sorry, I'm sorry I
can't... fucking talk...
1315
01:32:17,011 --> 01:32:19,927
Stop saying you're
fucking sorry, Jesus!
1316
01:32:23,969 --> 01:32:24,844
Come on, what is it?
1317
01:32:24,927 --> 01:32:25,260
Just... talk.
1318
01:32:28,844 --> 01:32:29,594
You're not mad?
1319
01:32:30,927 --> 01:32:32,427
Does it look
like a mad at you?
1320
01:32:33,719 --> 01:32:34,886
You're all here and
then you disappear,
1321
01:32:34,969 --> 01:32:36,594
you just left me there, man!
1322
01:32:36,677 --> 01:32:38,343
I left because of my own shit.
1323
01:32:44,260 --> 01:32:45,094
I know.
1324
01:32:47,385 --> 01:32:50,469
I don't know what I
told you about him...
1325
01:32:52,302 --> 01:32:56,011
Yeah, you... you told me.
1326
01:32:58,177 --> 01:33:00,677
Okay.
1327
01:33:00,761 --> 01:33:01,927
I don't always remember.
1328
01:33:08,343 --> 01:33:10,594
You know what
you're doing, man.
1329
01:33:11,427 --> 01:33:14,385
You know how to be with people.
1330
01:33:14,469 --> 01:33:16,469
You know how to be alone.
1331
01:33:16,552 --> 01:33:19,260
You have it, I mean, I
want to know how you...
1332
01:33:21,177 --> 01:33:23,677
You make it look easy,
man, just being here!
1333
01:33:26,011 --> 01:33:28,594
Nothing about
this is easy, okay.
1334
01:33:28,677 --> 01:33:30,469
I don't know what you're seeing.
1335
01:33:31,427 --> 01:33:32,343
I don't have this down
1336
01:33:32,427 --> 01:33:34,552
to some kind of fucking science.
1337
01:33:34,635 --> 01:33:36,427
All right, I'm
making it up as I go.
1338
01:33:37,969 --> 01:33:40,677
I'm just trying everything I
can think of from one moment to
1339
01:33:40,761 --> 01:33:44,385
the next that doesn't
hurt anyone or hurt myself or,
1340
01:33:45,886 --> 01:33:47,761
land me in some fucking abyss
where I just hate myself
1341
01:33:47,844 --> 01:33:48,427
to fucking death, so.
1342
01:33:53,343 --> 01:33:55,343
You know how to live.
1343
01:33:57,677 --> 01:33:59,677
No. I really don't.
1344
01:34:11,011 --> 01:34:11,927
That's what I'm doing, man.
1345
01:34:12,011 --> 01:34:15,469
I keep... It's like
sick, it's like,
1346
01:34:15,552 --> 01:34:20,302
I keep trying to fucking find
someone and grab them and be like,
1347
01:34:21,594 --> 01:34:23,677
okay, show me how
to fucking live!
1348
01:34:30,510 --> 01:34:31,844
Okay.
1349
01:34:31,927 --> 01:34:33,719
I'm catching on, all right.
1350
01:34:35,510 --> 01:34:40,053
This body, this being - mine.
1351
01:34:40,719 --> 01:34:43,135
Responsibility, mine!
1352
01:34:43,802 --> 01:34:44,594
Right?
1353
01:34:48,343 --> 01:34:49,969
Yeah, pretty much.
1354
01:34:52,719 --> 01:34:54,635
[sobs] Fuck.
1355
01:34:58,802 --> 01:35:01,927
I wanna tear my fucking
skin off, man!
1356
01:35:02,011 --> 01:35:05,011
I fucking hate myself so much.
1357
01:35:07,343 --> 01:35:12,260
Fucking die, I hate
you, fucking die. [sobs]
1358
01:35:20,594 --> 01:35:20,635
I'm here.
1359
01:35:29,177 --> 01:35:31,469
I feel a lot for you.
1360
01:35:36,010 --> 01:35:37,886
That's okay, isn't it?
1361
01:35:39,135 --> 01:35:40,927
I don't know.
1362
01:35:41,010 --> 01:35:41,802
What?
1363
01:35:47,510 --> 01:35:49,802
Maybe I came here to hurt you.
1364
01:35:56,427 --> 01:35:57,635
Everything hurts me.
1365
01:35:59,469 --> 01:36:00,469
There's nothing you
can do about it.
1366
01:36:15,010 --> 01:36:17,093
I don't want to be bitter.
1367
01:36:17,177 --> 01:36:20,427
I don't want to live that way.
1368
01:36:23,093 --> 01:36:25,218
[sniffs]
1369
01:36:27,677 --> 01:36:29,469
That's what you know how to do.

[wind chimes]
1371
01:36:43,010 --> 01:36:45,927
I could barely walk across
those things with my boots on.
1372
01:36:47,010 --> 01:36:48,677
Do you ever take
those boots off?
1373
01:36:48,761 --> 01:36:49,052
Yeah.
1374
01:36:49,135 --> 01:36:50,510
Yeah?
1375
01:36:50,594 --> 01:36:51,260
Yeah.
1376
01:36:51,343 --> 01:36:53,093
I take a shower sometimes.
1377
01:36:53,177 --> 01:36:53,927
Yeah right.
1378
01:36:54,010 --> 01:36:54,802
Once a week at least.
1379
01:36:54,886 --> 01:36:56,302
That's very
attractive, that's dope.
1380
01:36:59,177 --> 01:37:00,761
I'm going to triple these up.
1381
01:37:00,844 --> 01:37:03,260
These are gonna be
strong motherfuckers.
1382
01:37:03,343 --> 01:37:04,218
All right?
1383
01:37:05,302 --> 01:37:06,677
I mean, I think double
is fine, but you know,
1384
01:37:06,761 --> 01:37:08,302
do you.
1385
01:37:10,177 --> 01:37:12,427
You're just putting
the - the birthday?
1386
01:37:12,510 --> 01:37:13,968
You're not putting the...?
1387
01:37:14,677 --> 01:37:17,093
Nah.
1388
01:37:17,177 --> 01:37:17,926
It's cool.
1389
01:37:18,010 --> 01:37:18,844
This is...
1390
01:37:21,343 --> 01:37:22,302
You know...
1391
01:37:22,385 --> 01:37:23,552
Remember life.
1392
01:37:37,177 --> 01:37:38,343
Woods are like
outer space to me, man.

[calm music]

Should I read it?
1399
01:39:12,427 --> 01:39:13,218
Yeah.
1400
01:39:14,677 --> 01:39:18,135
Marine cammies will be your
flesh, will be your pride.
1401
01:39:18,218 --> 01:39:19,926
My DI told me.
1402
01:39:20,010 --> 01:39:22,594
Too baggy, too
long, don't matter.
1403
01:39:22,677 --> 01:39:24,385
You'll fill them,
you'll blend in.
1404
01:39:25,594 --> 01:39:27,552
Learn to kill silently.
1405
01:39:27,635 --> 01:39:29,427
Learn to kill screaming.
1406
01:39:29,510 --> 01:39:31,343
Learn to take more
and more and more.
1407
01:39:33,510 --> 01:39:33,885
Remove your uniform.
1408
01:39:33,968 --> 01:39:36,010
It's been lying.
1409
01:39:36,093 --> 01:39:38,010
Remove it, cut it to pieces.
1410
01:39:38,093 --> 01:39:41,093
It's a lie, your
performance, your pride.
1411
01:39:41,177 --> 01:39:43,843
What tells me to kill,
who tells me to kill.
1412
01:39:45,218 --> 01:39:47,010
Hear the whispers
grow to shouting,
1413
01:39:47,093 --> 01:39:51,010
shouting from inside,
from that place begging no more,
1414
01:39:51,093 --> 01:39:54,177
shouting no more,
screaming no more.
1415
01:39:54,260 --> 01:39:56,968
Shout what you already
know, what your new tribe
1416
01:39:57,052 --> 01:39:58,552
has come to know.
1417
01:39:58,635 --> 01:40:02,469
The world you once loved has
brought you to this place.
1418
01:40:02,552 --> 01:40:07,010
The world you once loved
never was, never will be.
1419
01:40:10,010 --> 01:40:11,469
[footsteps]
1420
01:40:19,177 --> 01:40:22,343
[right-wing Radio voice]
1421
01:40:34,843 --> 01:40:36,677
Do you need something?
1422
01:40:40,135 --> 01:40:43,218
Just tell your
brother to come over.
1423
01:40:44,260 --> 01:40:46,677
[Radio voice continues]
1424
01:40:48,343 --> 01:40:53,052
I have to call Herbert
again about the sink.
1425
01:40:53,843 --> 01:40:57,010
Every fucking day with this guy.
1426
01:40:58,343 --> 01:41:02,177
At least your brother dropped
that what's her name, huh?
1427
01:41:04,010 --> 01:41:05,510
Did he?
1428
01:41:06,093 --> 01:41:07,469
You would know.
1429
01:41:14,594 --> 01:41:16,510
He's stealing my Tramadol.
1430
01:41:20,510 --> 01:41:22,469
Either that or I'm
going fucking nuts.
1431
01:41:24,801 --> 01:41:26,343
[Radio] the right to
keep and bear a gun...
1432
01:41:30,885 --> 01:41:34,385
You have no idea what
it's like.... [laughs]
1433
01:41:34,469 --> 01:41:38,218
Oh, that's your
father, always saying
1434
01:41:38,302 --> 01:41:40,052
"you have no idea what it's like
1435
01:41:40,135 --> 01:41:42,594
You have no idea what it's like"
1436
01:41:43,676 --> 01:41:44,760
You wouldn't remember.
1437
01:41:46,052 --> 01:41:46,343
You were too young.
1438
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,760
I have an idea of
what it's like.
1439
01:41:54,968 --> 01:41:55,302
[Radio] we used to have the ten
commandments posted in our school rooms...
1440
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:02,885
[Radio] our students would see what God
almighty has said, thou shalt not murder...
1441
01:42:03,594 --> 01:42:04,469
You see this?
1442
01:42:04,552 --> 01:42:06,093
You see this on my skin?
1443
01:42:12,427 --> 01:42:14,302
I can't stop taking this shit.
1444
01:42:15,177 --> 01:42:17,177
[distant police sirens]
1445
01:42:23,594 --> 01:42:24,510
Look at me.
1446
01:42:27,010 --> 01:42:28,343
[sighs] You have no idea...
1447
01:42:30,093 --> 01:42:31,676
The people I work with...
1448
01:42:33,510 --> 01:42:36,427
they think I'm contagious.
1449
01:42:36,510 --> 01:42:38,302
[laughs]
1450
01:42:40,552 --> 01:42:44,093
And that nigger downstairs
keeps staring at me.
1451
01:42:45,510 --> 01:42:46,260
He's nice.
1452
01:42:47,510 --> 01:42:48,634
He smiles.
1453
01:42:49,843 --> 01:42:52,010
But why is he standing there?
1454
01:42:55,010 --> 01:42:56,593
There's other places.
1455
01:42:57,718 --> 01:42:59,634
[sighs]
1456
01:42:59,718 --> 01:43:01,760
[dark tone]
1457
01:43:03,885 --> 01:43:06,260
I didn't sleep again last night.
1458
01:43:07,343 --> 01:43:08,135
Just...
1459
01:43:09,135 --> 01:43:10,552
Just tell your
brother to come over!
1460
01:43:21,177 --> 01:43:24,052
[Everett] I bought a stool last
summer... for my birthday
1461
01:43:24,593 --> 01:43:25,302
and uh...
1462
01:43:26,302 --> 01:43:28,260
I bought a notebook, also...
1463
01:43:28,343 --> 01:43:32,551
And I bought a round trip bus ticket
to the Port Authority bus terminal.
1464
01:43:32,634 --> 01:43:36,093
I walked to the Veterans
Administration hospital.
1465
01:43:36,177 --> 01:43:38,968
The disability I was claiming
1466
01:43:39,052 --> 01:43:40,926
was post traumatic
stress disorder.
1467
01:43:42,469 --> 01:43:44,718
I was interviewed by a Veterans
Administration psychiatrist.
1468
01:43:46,302 --> 01:43:49,718
"Do you know that most Vietnam
veterans with your diagnosis
1469
01:43:49,801 --> 01:43:52,093
killed themselves
a long time ago?"
1470
01:43:53,510 --> 01:43:58,343
At that time, 1970, 71... I was
experiencing brutal nightmares
1471
01:44:01,385 --> 01:44:02,551
every night,
1472
01:44:02,634 --> 01:44:04,093
night after night,
week after week,
1473
01:44:04,177 --> 01:44:05,302
I would wake up screaming,
1474
01:44:07,385 --> 01:44:09,469
fighting demons and ghosts.
1475
01:44:10,177 --> 01:44:10,760
[fabric ripping]
1476
01:44:10,843 --> 01:44:11,509
[siren wailing]
1477
01:44:11,593 --> 01:44:13,427
And that psychiatrist told me
1478
01:44:13,509 --> 01:44:15,801
it was only going to get worse.
1479
01:44:18,843 --> 01:44:22,926
At that time... I was
having terrible depressions.
1480
01:44:24,469 --> 01:44:27,385
In hindsight, I would say...
I was close to being catatonic.
1481
01:44:29,343 --> 01:44:31,926
It took everything I had,
to put my feet over the edge
1482
01:44:32,010 --> 01:44:34,760
of the bed in the morning
and to stand up like a man.
1483
01:44:37,093 --> 01:44:39,302
And that psychiatrist told me
1484
01:44:39,385 --> 01:44:41,260
it was only going to get worse.
Never better.
1485
01:44:43,551 --> 01:44:46,052
[Eli] One of the first lessons
I had to learn as a medic
1486
01:44:46,135 --> 01:44:48,010
was that in order
to treat the wound,
1487
01:44:49,260 --> 01:44:50,260
first we have to expose it.
1488
01:44:50,343 --> 01:44:53,343
That body armer that
used to protect you,
1489
01:44:54,634 --> 01:44:56,218
that camouflage that was
supposed to hide you.
1490
01:44:57,218 --> 01:44:58,302
Now it's just
getting in the way.
1491
01:45:02,010 --> 01:45:04,427
At that time...
1492
01:45:04,509 --> 01:45:06,343
the single biggest thing
in my mind was suicide.
1493
01:45:08,385 --> 01:45:09,427
It was not where,
it was not how,
1494
01:45:11,177 --> 01:45:11,385
it was only when.
1495
01:45:13,302 --> 01:45:14,926
Tonight. Tomorrow.
1496
01:45:15,676 --> 01:45:18,343
Just when.
1497
01:45:18,343 --> 01:45:20,968
I could not cross
a railroad track
1498
01:45:21,052 --> 01:45:22,426
without thinking of stopping
1499
01:45:22,509 --> 01:45:24,093
and putting my head on the rail.
1500
01:45:26,010 --> 01:45:29,260
I could not cross a high bridge
1501
01:45:30,010 --> 01:45:31,260
[fabric ripping]
1502
01:45:31,343 --> 01:45:33,926
I probably spent 1000 hours on
the George Washington bridge,
1503
01:45:34,010 --> 01:45:36,385
pacing back and forth.
1504
01:45:36,468 --> 01:45:40,177
And that psychiatrist told me
it was only going to get worse,
1505
01:45:42,010 --> 01:45:42,260
never better.
1506
01:45:47,177 --> 01:45:48,676
So now. About 44 years later.
1507
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,218
About 44 years later.
1508
01:45:51,302 --> 01:45:52,926
Another psychiatrist tells me
1509
01:45:54,509 --> 01:45:56,926
do you know that most Vietnam
veterans with your diagnosis
1510
01:45:57,010 --> 01:45:59,177
killed themselves
a long time ago?
1511
01:45:59,260 --> 01:46:02,384
As I thought of him, a
little poem came to my mind.
1512
01:46:05,676 --> 01:46:06,426
You called me monster.
1513
01:46:08,509 --> 01:46:11,218
You cornered me and trapped me.
1514
01:46:12,468 --> 01:46:16,968
You forced me to chew my leg
off... and to hobble
1515
01:46:17,052 --> 01:46:18,426
from one suicidal
day to the next.
1516
01:46:21,634 --> 01:46:22,676
It don't mean nothing.
1517
01:46:24,177 --> 01:46:26,135
[Eli] ...that's great, you
wanna bring the troops home...
1518
01:46:26,218 --> 01:46:27,760
that's the campaign
you're runnin on?
1519
01:46:27,843 --> 01:46:29,676
Cool, we got a plan
to help you with that,
1520
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:32,801
because we're the troops who've
been there, and done that....
1521
01:46:34,384 --> 01:46:36,177
And the cops, you know,
it's the middle of summer,
1522
01:46:36,260 --> 01:46:37,343
the cops are in
full battle rattle,
1523
01:46:39,343 --> 01:46:43,093
much fancier gear than we had,
in Iraq.
1524
01:46:43,177 --> 01:46:44,302
And they were hot as shit.
1525
01:46:44,384 --> 01:46:45,843
You could tell they
were miserable,
1526
01:46:45,926 --> 01:46:47,760
sweating.
1527
01:46:49,509 --> 01:46:53,718
And so we were talking directly
to the cops - tellin 'em, look
1528
01:46:53,801 --> 01:46:55,260
we know what y'all
are dealing with.
1529
01:46:55,342 --> 01:46:56,885
We been out there in the
heat and all this gear too,
1530
01:46:56,968 --> 01:46:59,426
it sucks, doesn't it?
1531
01:46:59,509 --> 01:47:01,926
You should just go home, cause...
you don't really need to be here
1532
01:47:02,010 --> 01:47:03,843
doing this shit with us.
1533
01:47:03,926 --> 01:47:05,509
[guitar playing]
1534
01:47:05,593 --> 01:47:09,093
Anyway, a couple of them
ended up walking off the line.
1535
01:47:09,177 --> 01:47:10,260
And... whole front rank of vets,
1536
01:47:10,342 --> 01:47:12,509
all in dress uniform,
carrying flags.
1537
01:47:12,593 --> 01:47:15,593
They stepped off and said,
I'm not going to like,
1538
01:47:15,676 --> 01:47:20,093
I'm not going to go beat a bunch
of fucking veterans carrying flags.
1539
01:47:22,384 --> 01:47:24,010
They weren't going to do it.
1540
01:47:24,093 --> 01:47:26,926
We kept telling them... we're going
to advance, we're going to advance.
1541
01:47:27,010 --> 01:47:28,968
And we kept advancing slowly.
1542
01:47:29,052 --> 01:47:32,885
[Nate] Yeah, but we kept
saying we're unarmed
1543
01:47:32,968 --> 01:47:35,843
and we're here to
make a statement.
1544
01:47:36,676 --> 01:47:38,426
Hundreds of us there.
1545
01:47:39,676 --> 01:47:40,926
[Eli] So after
the long standoff,
1546
01:47:41,010 --> 01:47:43,177
they did end up
letting two of them in.
1547
01:47:44,551 --> 01:47:47,052
And they presented it and his
military affairs guy was like
1548
01:47:47,135 --> 01:47:49,426
Hey, this is a solid plan.
1549
01:47:49,509 --> 01:47:51,177
We want to talk to you
guys further about this.
1550
01:47:51,260 --> 01:47:53,843
Let's implement this
into our policy.
1551
01:47:55,384 --> 01:47:58,676
So. We thought everything's
good, the cops called it off.
1552
01:47:58,760 --> 01:47:59,468
Everybody was cheering, hugging.
1553
01:48:01,801 --> 01:48:03,718
And then we packed up
and went to the RNC
1554
01:48:03,801 --> 01:48:06,760
to try to do the same thing,
not nearly as successful there.
1555
01:48:08,968 --> 01:48:09,968
And you know the rest of the
story from there, you know?
1556
01:48:10,052 --> 01:48:11,926
Obama gets elected
1557
01:48:12,010 --> 01:48:12,885
the left goes to sleep
1558
01:48:12,968 --> 01:48:13,968
the war continues on
1559
01:48:14,052 --> 01:48:15,509
and here we are.
1560
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:17,801
...go up on the
left just a touch...?
1561
01:48:18,843 --> 01:48:19,509
