1074

01:
13:17,559 -- 01:13:20,144

Let everybody see...

1075

01:
13:20,187 -- 01:13:22,855

I'm gonna have to

put on a show,

1076

01:
13:22,898 -- 01:13:24,732

say some crappy things about you.

1077

01:
13:29,446 -- 01:13:30,696

I'm sorry.

1078

01:
13:34,743 -- 01:13:37,703

So...

Tell me what happened.

1079

01:
13:42,418 -- 01:13:44,210

They had pictures.

1080

01:
13:45,421 -- 01:13:47,588

They were taken four years ago.

1081

01:
13:47,631 -- 01:13:49,715

The pictures were

four years old?

1082

01:
13:49,758 -- 01:13:50,633

Yes.

1083

01:
13:50,676 -- 01:13:54,303

And they finallyjust got around

to showing it to a review board?

1084

01:
13:55,597 -- 01:13:59,058

There were some

harmless emails, too,

1085

01:
13:59,101 -- 01:14:01,144

recent ones -

None that I sent.

1086

01:
14:01,186 -- 01:14:03,146

- Harmless?

- Yes.

1087

01:
14:04,815 -- 01:14:06,941

You must have

done somethin' else.

1088

01:
14:06,984 -- 01:14:08,693

Were you drinkin' again?

1089

01:
14:09,486 -- 01:14:10,945

No.

1090

01:
14:10,988 -- 01:14:13,906

Did you piss anybody off?

Hit on the wrong girl?

1091

01:
14:13,949 -- 01:14:14,574

No.

1092

01:
14:14,616 -- 01:14:17,702

Maybe they were scrutinizing me

because they caught wind of you.

1093

01:
14:29,131 -- 01:14:31,716

I wasn't with anyone

the entire four years

1094

01:
14:31,758 -- 01:14:33,885

since those photos were taken.

1095

01:
14:35,012 -- 01:14:37,430

I knew it was getting risky,

1096

01:
14:37,473 -- 01:14:40,183

so I transferred to a new base,

I severed all ties,

1097

01:
14:40,225 -- 01:14:44,103

and I have been

immaculate, pristine, since.

1098

01:
14:44,146 -- 01:14:45,688

When you transferred,

did you sleep around

1099

01:
14:45,731 -- 01:14:47,523

with any of the guys

on the base?

1100

01:
14:47,566 -- 01:14:50,401

No. I thought marrying

you covered that.

1101

01:
14:50,444 -- 01:14:53,237

Come on, that's no fail safe.

1102

01:
14:53,280 -- 01:14:55,323

You know you've got to

feed the rumor mill.

1103

01:
14:55,365 -- 01:14:57,450

What about Pollard?

He's not married.

1104

01:
14:57,493 -- 01:14:59,619

You could have broken

a sweat on his back.

1105

01:
15:02,331 -- 01:15:03,873

I did.

1106

01:
15:08,086 -- 01:15:09,962

It didn't matter.

He was just playing me.

1107

01:
15:10,839 -- 01:15:12,298

I'm sorry.

1108

01:
15:19,848 -- 01:15:21,766

It might not be worth it, Joe.

1109

01:
15:24,186 -- 01:15:25,311

It's got to be.

1110

01:
15:38,534 -- 01:15:40,284

Call me when you

file the papers.

1111

01:
15:40,327 -- 01:15:41,327

I will.

1112

01:
15:43,830 -- 01:15:44,830

Be careful.

1113

01:
16:16,822 -- 01:16:18,030

Tequila, Shel.

1114

01:
16:32,963 -- 01:16:34,171

What?

1115

01:
16:35,090 -- 01:16:37,758

I'd like to say it's

none of my business,

1116

01:
16:37,801 -- 01:16:40,720

except it was taped to

the door of my business.

1117

01:
16:41,263 -- 01:16:43,639

And I have no idea

who put it there.

1118

01:
16:51,607 -- 01:16:53,441

I run a business

where judging people

1119

01:
16:53,483 -- 01:16:55,526

don't make a whole lot of sense.

1120

01:
16:59,072 -- 01:17:00,072

And?

1121

01:
17:01,908 -- 01:17:03,993

I don't think this is right.

1122

01:
17:04,036 -- 01:17:06,621

That girl is really screwed up

enough as it is.

1123

01:
17:11,835 -- 01:17:14,295

OK, Shelly,

thanks for everything.

1124

01:
17:14,338 -- 01:17:16,255

Say goodbye to the fellas for me.

1125

01:
17:16,298 -- 01:17:18,883

Calm down.

No one's runnin' you out of town.

1126

01:
17:18,925 -- 01:17:20,885

- That should cover my tab.

- Hey!

1127

01:
17:23,805 -- 01:17:26,140

Mind ifwe talk

in your office, Shel?

1128

01:
17:27,225 -- 01:17:28,476

Go ahead.

1129

01:
17:30,646 -- 01:17:32,605

Somebody papered

the town last night.

1130

01:
17:32,648 -- 01:17:35,066

I was able rip most

of them down, I think.

1131

01:
17:35,108 -- 01:17:36,901

Got 'em in my truck.

1132

01:
17:36,943 -- 01:17:38,152

Oh, God...

1133

01:
17:38,195 -- 01:17:39,945

I know this is complete crap.

1134

01:
17:39,988 -- 01:17:41,864

I was here when this

picture was taken,

1135

01:
17:41,907 -- 01:17:43,616

and nothing was going on.

1136

01:
17:43,659 -- 01:17:45,493

You can do anything

with photos these days,

1137

01:
17:45,535 -- 01:17:47,036

manipulate 'em...

1138

01:
17:47,079 -- 01:17:48,871

But who would bother?

1139

01:
18:04,304 -- 01:18:06,972

This part is complete crap.

1140

01:
18:07,015 -- 01:18:08,265

Of course.

1141

01:
18:11,770 -- 01:18:13,521

This part is true.

1142

01:
18:21,738 -- 01:18:23,781

Since when?

1143

01:
18:23,824 -- 01:18:25,783

Since long after.

1144

01:
18:31,373 -- 01:18:32,998

Oh, man...

1145

01:
18:35,210 -- 01:18:37,002

That's funny.

1146

01:
18:41,758 -- 01:18:43,384

Wish you'd told me.

1147

01:
18:46,096 -- 01:18:47,513

I couldn't.

1148

01:
18:54,980 -- 01:18:59,400

So the million dollar question,

of course, is...

1149

01:
18:59,443 -- 01:19:01,152

did I ruin things for you?

1150

01:
19:03,822 -- 01:19:05,322

No!

1151

01:
19:09,411 -- 01:19:11,537

Just a preference then?

1152

01:
19:13,415 -- 01:19:14,540

No.

1153

01:
19:30,015 -- 01:19:32,516

All right, let's just

focus on who did this.

1154

01:
19:32,893 -- 01:19:35,686

I have no idea...

1155

01:
19:35,729 -- 01:19:38,063

But I really need

to find Saffron.

1156

01:
19:58,835 -- 01:20:00,002

Mrs. Snow?

1157

01:
20:03,256 -- 01:20:04,507

Saffron?

1158

01:
20:05,467 -- 01:20:06,509

Saffron!

1159

01:
20:28,615 -- 01:20:29,949

Put that sh*t out!

1160

01:
20:32,160 -- 01:20:33,869

- Who is it?

- Pizza.

1161

01:
20:41,336 -- 01:20:42,962

I want to talk to Saffron.

1162

01:
20:43,004 -- 01:20:44,380

Yeah, talk? That's it?

1163

01:
20:46,508 -- 01:20:47,508

Saffron.

1164

01:
20:47,551 -- 01:20:49,301

Go home! I'm fine!

1165

01:
20:49,344 -- 01:20:50,719

She don't wanna talk no more.

1166

01:
20:50,762 -- 01:20:52,638

Get her out here

or I'll call the Sheriff.

1167

01:
20:52,681 -- 01:20:53,639

And say what?

1168

01:
20:53,682 -- 01:20:55,641

Whatever I need to

to get him here.

1169

01:
20:55,684 -- 01:20:57,601

Look, I just want five minutes.

1170

01:
21:01,690 -- 01:21:03,315

Saffron, get out here!

1171

01:
21:03,358 -- 01:21:05,150

Tell herto go away!

1172

01:
21:05,193 -- 01:21:06,402

I'm talkin' to her.

1173

01:
21:21,459 -- 01:21:23,502

OK, we're marching

out of here double time.

1174

01:
21:23,545 -- 01:21:24,670

Pull yourself together.

1175

01:
21:25,547 -- 01:21:27,172

There's no point.

1176

01:
21:27,215 -- 01:21:29,675

I went to the recruiter's office.

1177

01:
21:29,718 -- 01:21:31,176

They had the pictures.

1178

01:
21:32,345 -- 01:21:33,846

It's OK.

I can take care of it.

1179

01:
21:33,889 -- 01:21:35,848

No, it's done!

1180

01:
21:35,891 -- 01:21:37,099

I can fix it...

1181

01:
21:37,142 -- 01:21:39,476

Listen, I'm not your

toy soldier anymore!

1182

01:
21:41,646 -- 01:21:43,564
