Williams: You sick, soldier?
Well, colonel, i have a little cold.
You have a little cold.
Correct answer's "no, sir" or "yes, sir."
You feel like standing up?
What you're looking at, sergeant major,
is what in the real brownshoe army
used to be known as an ass-chewing.
Might i be permitted to ask this general title, sir?
This general title is i see your men here
reading and coughing and doing everything under god's blue sky
except for studying the sere manual.
Well, colonel...
why is it i don't see you studying the sereanual?
Brown? Last time you did sere school?
About a year ago.
You find the tactics changed at sere?
Yes, sir. They were harsher.
Had about a 20% dropout/failure rate.
These men need to be prepared
for being captured in enemy territory.
You will, as their captors,
attempt to get them to confess
that they betrayed our country,
been traitors to the u.s. Of a.
You will deprive them of sleep.
You will make fun of their genitalia.
We can do that, sir.
But you will not touch their genitalia.
You heard the man. Mack: Heavens, no.
You think sere school's a drill?
All: We are the drill bit.
That's right. It ain't no drill.
And should these soldiers break in sere,
what's in their christmas stocking?
Demotion to civilian.
Something like that.
Any of you thinking about being lenient,
who are you gonna save that for?
Our pets and babies, colonel.
Most assuredly.
You're acting as guards.
You got to put these fellas through the wringer,
bring back the news who's gonna break and who's gonna stand.
Mr. Williams. Sir?
You in the habit of imitating your betters?
Only those, sir, i admire unreservedly.
You sick, soldier?
Well, colonel, i have a little cold.
You ought to get that looked at.
You're dating someone named puffy?
Not anymore, apparently.
Uh, i have an announcement.
Um... it's a boy.
Man: Congratulations.
You guys drop the bomb "it's a boy"
in a unit that doesn't ever have boys.
Yeah, what's that about?
Natural selection?
Well, us men have a different theory.
Yes, and it isn't appropriate to be shared in mixed company.
Kim: Let me guess.
Has to do with the famed sexual prowess
of special forces soldiers.
You said it, not me.
You excited?
Are you kidding? Over the moon.
Well, i'd be happy to hold the christening party at my house.
Thanks, but we're not.
Tiffy: Did you christen serena?
Yes. But not this one.
Not this time.
You didn't say i shouldn't tell anyone.
Everyone has expectations
of what i should do.
Of what we should do.
A christening.
No.
We planned a christening for...
the other one.
And we canceled it.
I'm not going through that again.
Baby, serena was fine.
Okay? This one will be fine too.
Have faith... you have faith.
I still have fear.
Go take a hot shower, aspirin, gargle.
Mm-hmm.
You still going to this thing?
Mm-hmm.
How sick are you?
Not bad.
You can opt out.
I'm good for guard duty.
Jonas: I've been on one or two of these
where things got a little too real for the guards.
Keep control and remember it's just a drill.
Last chance.
Okay, then.
Here we go.
Cakewalk.
Jonas: You think?
Guys.
Are you kidding me?
This is a u.s. Army sere training drill.
Survival, evasion, resistance, escape.
You will relinquish all weapons
to your captors now.
Brown: Captors?
Jonas: Grey.
Stand down.
Man: Stay down.
Looks like your old pal got a new job.
Alpha team.
Welcome to sere.
You have been captured.
You are now prisoners of war.
A-ten-hut!
No eyes on my flag.
You ain't fit to look at my flag.
You do not look at our flag
while our anthem plays.
Drop and do push-ups till i get tired.
This man is a p.o.w.
Like you, he's failed in his mission.
This man is a little better than vermin.
We do not coddle vermin.
We step on it.
This man is a sellout.
Get the hell up.
Fast start.
What's the point of a slow one?
I came here to make changes.
Form up.
Guards, receive the prisoners.
All prisoners strip now.
You look at me and my men,
you lose an eye.
Sergeant major cheals, me men should not...
her men now.
Break them to flake them,
colonel ryan.
About face!
Hut! Hunh!
Column right, hunh!
Opt out.
Prisoners, halt.
Right face!
Are these swine infested?
Yes, sergeant, they are.
Put these on double-time.
Learn these numbers. You have no names now.

Williams, chair of surveillance and intel.
Grey, health committee.

First and foremost,

Signal for danger, beware.

go ahead and split 'em up.
I'd say let 'em rip. We got three days.
This isn't your old-school military
where we keep troop positions secret for 24 hours.
Our world takes hostages solely for propaganda value.
International law does not apply.
There are no nice guys.
If we don't train our men for that,
we're preparing them to fail.
Your boy's ill? Yes, ma'am.
Men get sick.
Whole point of torture,
break 'em down, split 'em apart.
They're ill, we're one step ahead in the game.
Here. Saw another exit here.
All right. Egress one.
This is two. Only if one fails.
Saw a couple of windows might be vulnerable.
Your coughing's a tell.
Gonna put us all in danger.
Any extra water, give it to brown.
Keep his throat wet.
We find a way to escape.
Absent that, we hang tough for three days.
Keep each other strong. Get back to our jobs.
I ain't letting one of you
get kicked out of the unit over some drill.
I'm pulling brown.
Absolutely not.
They break here, they're out.
They break in iraq, afghanistan,
they're traitors and they're dead.
Now, what do you want to do with glen campbell?
Grey: Huddle up, protect brown.
Grey must be heading up the health committee.
I don't see him handing out any bandages.
You didn't hear jonas handing out assignments, but he did.
Nobody in your precious d.o.d. Warned you
not to underestimate this group?
Grey: We got to conserve body heat.
Fall in. We're gonna huddle.
Think warm thoughts.
Keep your body on brown.
No matter what, keep faith with your mates.
Get some rest. I'm not tired.
You will be, and you're our leader, so get some rest now.
Like i said, health committee.
This'll be over soon enough.
Don't bet on it.
Ahh, romance, music, moonlight.
Now, you can't beat that.
Courtesy of my friends in nam.
Your friends use anything
other than noise to get results.
Play it long enough, it'll cut to the gut.
Maybe that's why the vietnam war lasted for so damn long.
In my experience...
you want to be the new head of sere,
you've got to learn the new way.
Kim: Serena, i found it.
You left it underneath...
...my dollies, and god bless daddy
so he doesn't get hurt.
Honey?
What you doing?
Praying for daddy.
We don't do that, baby.
We talk about daddy when he's working.
We...
lissy and jen do it.
Come here, baby doll.
You learn about praying last night at lissy and jen's?
Jen says if she prays,
her daddy will be safe,
but if she doesn't...
'rena, daddy's always safe in our hearts.
We don't have to get on our knees.
We just have to love him.
Do you love him?
All the time.
Your job is done then.
Now, into bed, pumpkin.
No!
You do not miss a stone!
Your mama told you you were stupid, didn't she.
You will pick up every stone...
here's our weak link.
That's a poor excuse of a man.
Pull him.
Take me!
He's sick.
I seen your file, soldier.
You have no brothers.
Your father had no brothers.
Your mother had no brothers.
Your wife has no brothers.
But your wife is carrying a son.
Who's the father?
What color will your son be?
Will they call the boy "boy"?
Little charles? Little hector? Or jonas' son?
Or your son, soldier, just to be kind?
Enough of the pleasantries.
Let's see what he's made of.
Start on the kidneys.
This ain't no drill. Not anymore.
You thirsty?
My name is williams, hector.
I am a sergeant in the united states army.
'Cause the water here is yours,
you tell me whether or not it's true you were not part
of recent clandestine operations in afghanistan.
If you are able to confirm
your absence from that mission, son,
you'll be excused, go on home.
Your friend took a bad beating.
He's awful sick.
You want to visit him? Take him some medicine?
Fine. Let him get sicker.
No?
Show him the monitor.
Your mate isn't looking too good.
You can stop this.
Gerhardt, mack.
I am a master sergeant in the united states army.
Beat on the kidneys.
Oh!
Name, rank, and service number.
What the hell were you thinking,
jumping the guard again?
Prisoners are not to harass
or interfere with the administration of the camp.
Unless it serves a greater objective.
Resistance.
How's getting yourself beaten to a pulp
with a flashlight manage that?
The light at the end of the tunnel, huh?
Come with me.
I understand you requested
medical attention for one of the men.
You are the senior officer?
My name is blane, jonas.
Sergeant major. U.s. Army.
You know, i've studied 150 men in your unit.
Black, white, asian, hispanic,
rich, poor, city kids, country bumpkins.
Finally found the one thing connecting you all.
You know what that thing is, sergeant?
My name is blane, jonas.
Sergeant major. United states army.
You're all children of adversity.
Poverty, lack of love, drunken mothers, abusive fathers.
You all found your way here, didn't you.
Question i have for the man, though,
is what secret is the boy in you holding onto?
You must be hoping for a speedy return
to your lovely wife
and, what, your whore on the side?
Feeding your lust with a cheap little piece?
Aren't you ashamed?
Your own daughter.
Betsy blane, 19 years old.
According to her gynecologist,
sexually active since age 14.
Think it was a ploy for attention
given your many absences?
Price you pay. Price your child pays.
Course as a physician i worry,
knowing the significant correlation
between hypersexuality and childhood abuse.
How about it?
Was betsy daddy's little girl?
Who touched you as a kid?
Made you want to touch your own daughter.
Sorry, my mind was elsewhere.
Your sister was uncle's little girl, wasn't she?
You didn't tell, now, did you?
My name is blane, jonas.
Sergeant major. United states army.
You think all you need to do is give me rank and name for three days?
Well, i have some new intel for you, blane, jonas.
The sere school goes on for as long as i say it goes on.
Three weeks, three months.
There is no rest for you.
All below the belt.
Enemy wouldn't have his personal information.
You're living in the past.
Enemy has a name, all they need is
a good hacker and an internet connection
to find every dirty detail of their life.
He's holding though.
Damn straight he's holding.
Now, i want an ambulance for brown.
She could be lying about how long the drill's for.
Could be.
Case not, everyone better reset their clocks
for way past three days.
Guess we're on their time now.
Lie down, maggot.
I can't accept special favors.
He's hyperventilating.
What's his health?
B.p.'s 90 over 60. Pulse 120.
Lung sounds?
Wheezing, extrinsic.
Fever's 103 and change.
Gunk in the trunk. Not good.
Gain his trust. Play mama bear.
He's done playing. I want him pulled now.
Want me to flunk him?
I want a medical exemption.
Brown, this is dr. Rhea morrison.
You are very ill.
We would like you to lie down
so we can administer medication and fluid.
Are my mates getting something to drink?
That's my boy. They are.
You want to treat me, take me back with them.
Treat me in front of them.
Let me see they're getting taken care of too.
I can do that. Mr. Manning?
Iraq, august 1999.
What was your squad's mission?
That's it, hose him down.
Tiffy: If serena's latched onto something
that makes her feel better,
what's the big deal?
It's not the way bob and i do it.
I thought you said serena was christened.
I just assumed... yes, she was.
She saw my two girls praying,
she wanted to join in.
Of course she wants to do what they do. They're older.
She'd follow them into the middle of a busy highway
if there was no one there to stop her.
I didn't see it as a problem.
Now she thinks if she doesn't pray for her father
if something happens to him it'll be her fault.
Well, she misunderstood.
As 4-year-olds often do.
I don't want god and religion
and guilt and damnation put into her head
unless i'm the one putting it there.
I don't mean to be short.
No, you're just being clear.
Yes, i want to be clear.
And now you are. It won't happen again.
Again.
I don't like the sound of this.
Say the word, doctor.
Let's call it quits.
Brown, you just got a pass.
You're heading to the hospital.
I can't opt out of sere. Not without my teammates.
I'd be kicked out of the unit.
No, this is a medical exemption.
You can't make me.
You're right soldier, but i can.
I'm the one making the decisions here.
It's my call. I'll call transport.
You go on and lie down.
We do need you to sign out on this line, brown.
Sign and let's get you some help, son.
"And that by signing this document
"i am not admitting...
"To any treason,
cooperation with an enemy of any kind."
Sir?
It's not a break of faith.
What'd i sign?
You can't kick him out of the unit for a party trick.
I only need to appear to separate one to pry them all apart.
That's all i need you for, colonel.
You may go.
What about going to the hospital?
I think you know the answer to that.
I signed...
an admission to cooperating with the enemy.
Won't make your friends too happy.
I didn't...
prisoner number 602 will be brought into the interrogation room.
You will slap him, or i will use this document
to flunk you out of sere school,
and you will be removed from the unit.
Go on, hit him.
Get him out of here.
Get him out of here!
Let's try again.
Prisoner 604 is next. One slap, that's all.
Brown, decide his fate.
As you wish. Guard.
Okay, bring in the next one.
If sergeant brown is uncooperative,
be especially brutal with this one.
Sergeant brown.
Thank you.
Here's your water.
Aren't you gonna give your commander the a-okay sign?
Your boy broke.
Signed his confession. Slapped you in the face.
You may go back to your cell now.
Says he's with us, but looks to me like he's sitting pretty.
It's a setup.
Brown didn't break faith.
Maybe not, but he's drinking your water.
No, wrong. Not in here.
He doesn't go in with the others.
Code's been broken.
Code's broken.
What's that mean?
We got a problem with brown?
Where is he?
Man: Here you go.
How good a shot is bob?
Memory serves, pretty damn good.
'Cause if they did break him
the traitor's now in possession of a rifle.
And what about faith?
Bob asked me that.
Some have it, some don't.
And you're surviving all right without it?
I have so far.
And my daughter is fine too.
My whole family is fine.
Prisoner, don't stack around that wire.
Pick it the hell up.
You help him, you lazy bum.
Traitor!
Pull that crap up.
Gonna take that?
Hey!
Get off me!
Turning against us?
Sarge: Isn't this cute?
Now stop it!
Maybe he doesn't know what he's doing.
You think not?
He slipped me this.
My objection is not that the tactics are brutal.
It's that they are worthless!
I know these men.
You will permanently maim them
before they will bow to physical torture.
We've taken blood samples measuring epinephrine levels
before and after stressors.
Most soldiers show depleted levels
of adrenaline after peak events.
Your men?
They return to normal without a recovery period.
We need to find out why.
I finally figured you out, lady.
You're not here to train these men.
You're here to test some theory.
It's not a theory. The algerians...
we do not follow in the footsteps
of those who raise torture to an art form.
They're not our teachers.
Your men are extraordinary.
Don't you want to find out why?
I don't give a rat's ass why.
We do have one possible exception.
Williams shows a slight norepinephrine drop.
His stanford-binet suggests he's most
personally imprinted on his leader.
All the men look up to jonas.
With williams, there's a deeper almost familial bond.
And damned if you're not gonna exploit it.
Williams, hector. I am an american...
fighting man? [Laughs]
That's right, you've been fighting all your life.
Isn't that so, boy?
'Cause that's what they think of you, boy.
Like your boy jonas.
Just another boy to them,
doing their dirty work, putting his life on the line.
Nobody cares.
Look here.
Is that your granddaddy?
Yes, it is,
and nobody arrested for that crime.
He was a white man...
children of crisis, that's the lever.
His grandfather, 1952, hung from a tree in alabama.
Now family lore, but the kind never talked about.
That young man has overcome so much.
Idea is, colonel, for him to overcome this.
Now, i don't want you humiliated in front of these guys.
Don't want you to break, son.
I tell them they can't bak you.
Cut you some slack.
Cut jonas some slack.
See, i'm not opposed to the psychological side,
as long as you're willing to soften them up
and then finish them off physically.
And you tell me anything you can
so i can go easy on you.
Williams: So it's iraq.
We go in.
Got to infiltrate the chateau being used for r and r,
disrupt the chain of command.
Can't tell you anymore.
Sure you can, son.
You got to disrupt the chain. Yeah.
Infiltrate.
We got to raid it.
People are gonna die.
First it was wladislaw died.
Minorities first, right? Yeah.
Then victor franko. Italian.
Bad-ass. Crazy as a loon.
Then colonel's breathing down our backs.
"Do the job. Take 'em out."
Colonel breed. Born with a gun in his hand.
Robert ryan.
Morrison: Tavish, check back records.
Give me when williams was under the command of a colonel breed.
Tell tavish never mind.
We get background intel on this breed,
we can work williams more
if sergeant manning doesn't finish him off first.
Doctor, colonel everett breed
is a character in a movie.
So are the other guys.
John cassavettes and charles bronson.
You've been tataken, pick.
He's giving you the plot to the dirty dozen.
Think that's funny?
You don't kill that boy,
or you do kill him and any of his mates lives,
we better take a head count of our family members,
'cause my men motivated and angry
will not be deterred.
He's sedated.
Versed. It's an amnesiac. He won't remember.
He dies, they'll remember.
We'll check his vitals again.
You'll be checking your own vital signs he gets any sicker.
Let's see how the leader's holding.
Oh, for god...
hose him down and get the electroshock kit.
Don't you dare!
I am in charge here!
Do not mock the ways of the past.
They were born on the backs
of men and women who were there.
You learn from them.
Let me show you what works.
You're willing to bet your new position here?
You're right.
I'm only willing, miss.
To do this job the way it's supposed to be done.
Take 20.
You ok?
I didn't ask you to tell me
if you were cooperating with the enemy.
L... i courteously enquire as to the state of your health.
[Sing-songing] You can't catch me.
I'm the gingerbread man.
The thing is, jonas, i need your help.
Brown is dangerously ill.
He's unconscious with a high fever and he's fading fast.
He went over, so treat him.
That's my point. He didn't.
The document he signed isn't the document he read.
It's just a trick to break the rest of you.
And this doctor woman won't treat him until somebody breaks.
You gotta stop her.
I tried. Ryan tried.
It's out of our hands.
I need your help.
♪♪
Is this what you wanted?
Yes, thank you.
This is helene rouse.
Ah! Another newbie.
From? Molly's church, actually.
And you're here to see me.
I was hoping to talk to you about some of the things
that we have to offer at the first church...
no, thank you.
This is very wrong.
I'm not trying to drag you into a cult.
Helene's here to tell you all the church has to offer
by way of support.
Meetings, focus groups,
there's baby-sitting.
Things for you to do to...
forget? Keep busy.
This is only informational.
On how to get connected.
I'll tell you what i'm connected to.
Memory.
I remember my husband and i planning a christening
for a baby i lost last year.
And my mother's minister said, "it's god's will."
To let a baby die?
Really?
Well, i've got another one on the way,
and he's just gonna have to rely on me.
I'm sorry molly wasted your time.
That was a plant. You're right.
It's not about connecting.
It's about reconnecting.
I'm sorry you lost a child, kim.
Was that god's will? I have no idea.
But i've been a part of this man's army many years,
and what i know is it is our will that keeps the home fires burning,
our will that lets our men leave and walk into harm's way,
our will that allows us to survive if something happens to them,
and for me, that's a kind of faith.
Now, what is it that you're looking for?
It doesn't have to be my church or any church at all,
but it's gotta be something.
Lookee here. It's christmas.
You could have drunk that,
but you need to wash your dainties.
Grey: Hey, you ok?
I got to lie down.
You playing nurse or are you gonna clean up?
I wash when i wash, hector.
You ain't my mama.
Puppies nippin' at each other. That's a good sign.
The system's screwed up.
And who pays? You men.
I thought: Take this job.
Identify the problems. Fix the problems.
But it's a cancer now.
The pentagon wouldn't know what it was doing
if the info was hand-delivered up their butt.
You need to break faith.
Sign our document and save brown.
You can't trust him anymore. Brown changed teams.
Mack: He looks bad.
I don't care.
He's with us. He gave us a magazine.
Yeah, or he was play-acting.
I guess we'll just have to ask him.
Tell your mom i'll drop by around 8:00.
It's a trick.
No.
I resigned my position.
I'm just trying to save brown.
My name is blane.
This is not a drill anymore.
This is life or death of one of your men.
Do you understand me?
I'm a sergeant major in the united states army.
I'm talking to you as your oldest and best friend,
and i'm telling you you're the only person that can save that kid.
My old friend?
Yes.
And i swear on our friendship
that the only thing that'll save brown
is breaking your faith and signing the confession.
Jonas, you're responsible for him.
I'll get the papers.
Water salty enough to make it work?
You better hope so.
20 seconds before they wonder what the hell we'redoing.
I'm almost done.
Can you get me another angle on that camera?
Come on!
I got it.
All available men to the holding cell!
Find this amusing, colonel?
Ma'am, i find this nothing short of hilarious.
I am an american fighting man.
Lock it down... where are those guards?
Just sign these papers for brown.
Bob: Top?
Brown?
Bob: I got you, top.
You swore on our friendship.
I had to prove her wrong.
Right.
All's fair.
What the hell's going on in here?
Uhh!
Good to see you. Mack?
He should be in the woods.
Mack had the gate. Tie him up.
No. He ain't going nowhere.
Ahem.
Sere ain't over.
Breakout's not on the approved list of activities.
And i thought sere meant "survive, evade, resist, escape."
Back inside.
You're lucky this is just a drill.
Otherwise, we'd already be a few miles away from here.
Come on, soldier. Let's get you some help.
Steady him.
Cheals: Congratulations, gentlemen.
You have survived sere school.
They've got the fever down a little.
They're worried about infection,
but they say in a week or so he should be fine.
What did you do to him?
Too much.
Kim: Hey.
When they called me and told me how you were,
i got so scared.
And i did something.
Waiting for the ride,
i realized i was praying.
Not hands clasped, not on my knees,
but something over and over.
"Don't let him die."
And that's prayer, right?
And if that's prayer, it's gotta be a kind of faith.
You're a little bit ahead of me in the faith department,
but i'm working on it.
You really got me working on it, baby.
Shh.
Shh. You just go to sleep.
We're gonna be ok.
Just sleep.
