know what to do.

You have to do it.

Courage is the mastery of

fear and to always do what

is right,

even in the face of death.

You have to follow a higher

path that normal people are

too weak

or too afraid to follow.

Semper fi, Danny.

Semper fi-- always faithful.

Always faithful to family,

God, country, the Corps.

It is faith that

makes a man a Marine,

and it is faith that makes a

man become more than

who we are.

And only through faith can the

impossible become possible.

With faith, anything

is possible?

No.

But at least you're

not nothing.

[phone ringing]

[man] The pride of your

heart has deceived you.

You, who live in the

clefts of the rocks

and make your home

on the heights.

You, who say to yourself,

who can bring me down

to the ground.

Though you soar like the

eagle and make your nest

among the stars, from there,

I will bring you down,

declares the Lord.

[phone ringing]

[running footsteps]

Hi.

I'd like to speak to

someone about something

that happened last night.

I'm only going to say

this one more time,

Mackenzie, you are soft.

This is a war, and make

no mistake about it

we are losing.

You better show me

something, Mackenzie.

You better show me real

quick, or you're done.

Yes sir, I mean

I will sir.

Now that assault last night.

What happened? I didn't see

anything in my bin.

It was just a

misunderstanding, sir.

I let him walk.

A kid gets assaulted,

and you let the guy walk?

Yes, sir.

A kid?

It was just a misunderstanding

between neighbors.

It's all cleared up now.

Well that's good.

That's good, because

if it comes back

that this neighbor kid gets

so much as a hair out of place

by this friendly

guy that you let

walk, who ends up being some

sort of kiddie-jumping psycho.

Do you have any idea what

it's going to do in

this department?

I'm going to get fired, and

you're going to get fired,

and we're going to sit

together unemployment and keep

each other company.

I don't want to

sit in unemployment

with you, Mackenzie.

I don't like you.

So get the marshmallows out of

your face, lose some weight,

tuck in that shirt,

stand up straight,

and get out on the street

and make some arrests.

Dismissed.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

And find out where the

Stevenson girl got those drugs.

Comes down from the top.

If she croaks, we're talking

homicide, so look alive.

Yes, sir.

[slow music playing]

If Kayla dies, they're

gonna charge us with murder.

Man, you look like

death, Dean-o.

Been out here all night.

Cops around my house.

Had to stash my stash.

What happened to Kayla?

I was at the hospital.

She's in a coma.

Oh, wow.

Is she gonna make it?

They don't know.

She was like inches from death.

That's crazy.

They said if she

dies, it's a homicide.

Yeah, I've been good friends

with her since second grade.

I went out with

her in sixth grade.

She got me high for the

first time right there.

No way.

I'd never hurt her.

She's the coolest person

I know.

Why'd you guys break up?

She's crazy, I don't know.

Her energy is scattered.

We always remained good

friends, but there's just

no way of getting

close to her, you know?

She just deflects

anything serious.

It's like she

wouldn't let you in.

I don't really know her at all.

She dated a lot of guys that

treated her bad, like garbage.

They were older guys that

never really lasted long.

But then she dated you.

For the life of me, I don't

know why she asked me out.

I do.

Why?

Well, well, well.

I thought I'd find you here.

What up, Phil?

Hey.

Sup, Abercrombie?

Dean-o, did you know there's

a cop in your driveway?

Kayla's in a coma.

Are you serious?

Well dude, that's what happens

when you sell H to teenagers.

Is she okay?

Uh, no, she's in a coma.

Well, this is all

your fault, Dean-o.

My fault?

You were the one who

gave her those mystery

lines of your street

junk bag whatever it was.

That was the most irresponsible

thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, but I knew she

could handle that.

You gave her the H

after she was trashed.

You knew how messed up she was.

You could have stopped me.

I'm not the party nanny, dude.

Yes you are.

When you're 25 and hang

out at high school parties,

you are the party nanny.

She said they were

prescribed by doctors--

that they wouldn't do anything.

She said that would be fine.

What are you talking about?

Before the party, I

gave her some pills

that I stole from my brother.

What kind of pills?

[Phil] Your brother has pills?

What kind?

-I'm going to come clean.

-What?

I'm going to tell

them all the truth--

the cops, her mom.

[Phil] Why?

I've decided.

It's the honorable thing to do.

Honor?

My brother's a Marine.

He told me about honor.

Okay, the honorable thing?

Let me tell you

something about honor.

Honor demands a

code of silence.

Honor demands you never

rat on a fellow friend.

I know you want to come clean

right now and everything, man,

but what good is

it going to do you?

It's not going to help

Kayla come out of her coma,

it's not going to help

her with her treatment.

It's going to ruin your life,

it's going to ruin your family,

it's going to ruin your mother.

Dude, it's going to

ruin your brother.

You'll never get

into a good college.

I mean, that's just a few

things to think about,

other than yourself.

But we gave her the drugs.

She's in the hospital.

Okay.

Let's make a deal then, okay?

When Kayla wakes up,

whatever-- come clean.

But if she doesn't, then--

Dude, she's going to wake up.

But if she doesn't, then we

take this little

code of silence

to our grave, based

upon honor, Daniel.

Honor, man.

Think about your life.

Think about your family.

Just until she wakes up?

Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, then it's agreed.

We swear on an oath of blood.

An oath of blood.

But Arin, but Arin what?

Last night at the hospital,

the cops were all over him.

He was the one who called 911.

I don't know what

he said to them.

The little man?

If it's not one

thing, it's another.

All right, well you'll

leave him up to me.

I'll take care of it.

What are you gonna do to him?

So Danny, brother, pal, can you

score me your brother's meds?

Dude.

How about a sandwich?

Hey, little man.

Hey.

I hear you been

talking to the cops.

-I don't like that.

-Uh-huh.

-What'd you tell them?

-Nothing.

What did you tell them?

You want to know if I

told them the truth,

that you're a dealer, that you

gave drugs to Kayla Stevenson?

You shut your mouth!

Dude, don't.

Why don't you ask them

yourself?

This isn't over, little man.

If I did rat you out, they

would've busted you already,

Einstein.

Officer Bob, we meet again.

Good morning, Arin.

I hope I'm not

interrupting anything.

I just wanted,

I just wanted to stop by and...

Look I want to apologize.

Yeah, I lied to you the other

night when I talked about Dean.

We didn't really find him.

Truth is, no one's seen him.

We don't know where he is.
