Hi.

Mom!

Please don't f***ing do this.

Please don't f***ing

do this. Mom. Mom.

I love you.

- I've got to go.

- No. No.

What are you doing?

No!

Let's go. Let's go.

Come on. Get up. Get up.

Move it. Move it.

Welcome to paradise boys.

This is Coldwater. I am

Colonel Frank Reichert.

United States Marine

Corps, retired.

You can call me Colonel.

You can call me sir.

It's up to you. The choice is yours.

Life here, gentlemen,

is very simple.

Let's not bullshit each other.

You're here because you f***ed up.

We're here to fix that.

So, you show me that

you have a willingness

and desire to change.

Simple as that.

You continue to work hard,

keep your nose clean.

You show a commitment to the

process, leadership capabilities.

When you've shown us

that you can handle

responsibilities beyond

your petty little selves.

Congratulations on that day.

You are now a useful citizen.

You can then write

your ticket out of this place.

Or you can stay, come work for me,

pass on what you've learned.

We take care of our own.

Let me see that watch son.

This watch is a lot

older than you are.

I'll hang on to this. You'll

get it back when you're ready.

Gentlemen, whatever sh*t

you came in here with...

let it go.

If it was working for you

you wouldn't be here.

Make no mistake, we

will readjust you

because we are goddamn

good at what we do.

I put my heart and my

soul into this process.

I highly recommend you do that too.

All right. Company

dismissed. Powell.

Yes sir.

Ladies, you heard

the man. Dismissed.

Please stop!

Please no! Stop!

Please! Please, stop! No!

Turn around.

Strip.

Turn around and put your

hands against the wall.

Only a couple more

miles guys. Let's go!

Pick it up!

Get in line. Get some water.

When the mail's finished,

water break is finished.

Man, I've got to get some

f***ing water. I know that sh*t.

Come on, hurry up.

Time's up.

Can I have some water?

Let's go boys.

Move! Move!

What in the hell we

digging for anyway?

- Irrigation ditches.

- Irri what?

Irrigation ditches.

So they can water them

fields down there.

Yeah. Okay. Man, I'm

tired as a motherf***er.

Sh*t. Ain't never hurt

nobody shoplifting.

I'm going to whip some ass after

this sh*t. What the hell you do?

I just caught real

high with the homies.

This n*gger.

What about you?

Did you go cowboy on

some fools or what?

Lucky bastard.

Yo, Trevor. Come on man.

Pop up.

Hey, Trevor.

What you don't want lunch?

What the f***? No, no, no.

Wait, wait. No, no. Powell! Powell!

Trevor what you... Powell!

Open your eyes! Open your

eyes! Up, up, up, up, up, up.

Trevor come on, come on, come on,

come on. Trevor open your eyes!

Powell! Get his arm.

Get his arm. Get his arms.

Come on! Come on!

Come on man! Come on!

Stop thinking about it.

What?

It's impossible. We're in

the middle of nowhere, man.

- Boots or no boots.

- What am I thinking about?

That fool Trevor made it

out a few months back.

Up and over the fence.

His f***ing family

brought him back.

They f***ed him up good for that.

Yeah. We didn't see

him for a while.

That's when they put a

second double down.

Now even trustee can't get out.

I don't know. I think he's got a

key hidden somewhere though.

How long have you been here?

A long f***ing time.

What? For getting high?

Come on, man.

Just go to bed.

Jesus.

He's sleeping like a baby. He

must have blown his load already.

His parents will

get a bill if he did.

Hey, you know you

can't jerk off, right?

Come on.

You better get off me like that.

- What the f*** you doing?

- What'd I do? What'd I do?

- Go.

- What'd I do?

Shut the f*** up.

100 degrees most days.

You pass out in the dirt and

they'll just let you cook.

They broke you down.

If you couldn't take it

they took your privileges.

They took your sleep.

Still some guys like to talk tough.

Some guys were just f***ing crazy.

You're not taking my boots.

Casey, put it down.

Drop the weapon.

You want these boots,

come and get these boots.

- Step back.

- Come and get them.

- Come on! Come on!

- Drop the weapon.

I don't f***ing need this.

Let's do this. Come on, let's go.

After a few weeks mostly

everyone starts to lose it.

Everyday was the same. Until

you weren't you anymore.

It was all routine.

Come on. Watch it,

watch it, watch it.

- Shut up.

- Ow, man.

You'll be back in the

barracks tonight.

I'll be coming in to check on you. You'll

be off your feet for at least a week.

Fine with me, man. It's a

week away from them a**holes.

- Yo, is Manny out to lunch?

- What's up man?

- Yeah.

- Oh, thank God.

I'm telling you man if you

want that sh*t sold I got you.

- Just throw me a little something man.

- Put that sh*t away man.

Okay.

- Carburetor's flooded.

- Yeah?

- I need a... Phillips head.

- Cool. Yeah.

Oh, my God man.

So, you coming to

Holly's party tomorrow?

Oh, yeah.

- I heard she wants to rape you, dude.

- Yeah? Oh, sh*t man.

I need to get up on that.

- Yeah dude.

- Where's it at?

It's end of Highland Trail.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, you've been there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.

Yo, B! What's up?

Hey, man, can I holler

at you real quick?

F***. Yo, I'll be right back.

Come on, dude. We got places to be.

Don't just show up to where I work.

I told you if you want to deal with

me call me like everybody else.

Yeah, yeah. It won't happen again.

Give me my money.

You want it give me the

money or f*** off.

What the f*** are

you looking at, yo?

Yo, you need to get to stepping.

What? No?

What is this, huh? You come in to

my work and you f***ing short me?

Chill. All right. What?

Give it back to him.

- You want it back? Here.

- No, no, no. I don't want it back,

but the last time I fronted you two

a**holes you took your sweet ass time.

I want the rest tomorrow

or I'm done with you.

I'm sick of this you

f***ing speed freaks.

Oh, all right. Yeah maybe we'll bring

it by that party tomorrow night, huh?

Where'd you say it

was? Highland Trail?

Look at this face, yo.

Sh*t man.

Sh*t what? Next time

stand up for yourself.

Jonas didn't kick at the

ATV. Powell hit him.

So, you're telling me that Powell and

my trustee are both lying to me?

Your trustee was nowhere

near us. He didn't see anything.

Counselor step out.

Close the door behind you.

All right, look.

If you make enemies in here your road is

going to be very long and a painful one.

Jonas is not a victim. Neither are

you. I want to keep it that way.

Last couple of weeks you've

shown good progress.

Keep that momentum.

That's how trust is built.

So, tell me. Can I trust you?

That a boy.

You're dismissed Lunders.

So, the stories you

write every night,

I mean do you just make

them up as you go...

or is it based on actual

outside experiences?

No, Brad. It's a barracks report.

So what happens outside the barracks

isn't important. So shut the f*** up.

Since we're in the barracks now you

should probably write this down.
