Short filmTranscript
00:00What's your name?
00:01Callahan.
00:02Private.
00:03Do you know who I am?
00:04I know exactly who you are.
00:06You're really bad at making friends.
00:08I'm not here to make friends.
00:10Surprise!
00:11You weren't supposed to be here till tomorrow.
00:13Maybe you've forgotten what's at stake.
00:15This assignment is about redemption, not rebellion.
00:17Are you afraid of me?
00:18No.
00:19I think you're afraid of me.
00:20You can't be here.
00:21I know.
00:22Just don't talk.
00:23What are you running from?
00:25Everything.
00:26You're crawling around with a soldier.
00:27You barely know.
00:28I'm not.
00:29I can't do this again.
00:30I know.
00:31You made me fall for you walking around pretending
00:33to be someone else that you weren't.
00:34You want to hate me?
00:35Fine.
00:36But don't act like I'm the only one hiding behind the uniform.
00:38You humiliate me in front of half the base,
00:40and now you're sneaking around with him again.
00:41You will accept Jeremy's proposal.
00:43You will marry him for the next deployment.
00:45Do you understand me?
00:47Yes, sir.
00:48Do you take Captain Rose to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:54Miss Widmore?
00:55I...
00:58I'll be free.
00:59That's enough!
01:00You can't keep coming and going like this.
01:02It's killing me.
01:03Then let me stay.
01:05You sure?
01:06I'm sure.
01:07OK.
01:12I'm blind currently.
01:13But I'm one more than one.
01:15OK.
01:16OK.
01:17And here we are!
01:19Here we go again.
01:26The ranging of goals got just like this.
01:28It's all hard, ain't no fear, yeah
01:30You ain't giving this to all you did
01:32I missed the ball
01:53I caught what I wanted
01:58This isn't the Capitol
02:03There's no handlers, there's no headlines
02:05Just duty and sweat
02:07Try not to make a mess up
02:09Good to see you too, Dad
02:11You're here because the optics are bad
02:13You went off script
02:15Again
02:16I gave an honest answer to a dishonest question
02:20I didn't like the building on fire
02:21You embarrassed Rhodes
02:23You embarrassed me
02:25Maybe if you stopped treating me like a press release
02:27And started treating me like a person
02:28I wouldn't keep embarrassing you
02:30Rhodes will be here soon
02:32You'll accompany him to drills
02:34Keep appearances
02:35I didn't ask to be here
02:38And I sure as hell didn't ask for Rhodes
02:40You're not here to ask
02:42You're here to repair what your name used to mean
02:44That'll do it
02:56Of course
02:59My buddy Jackson from back home
03:01Taught me everything I know about engines
03:02He knows his stuff, that's for sure
03:05Good work, buddy
03:06Private
03:15That wasn't a suggestion
03:19Didn't realize you outranked me, ma'am
03:23I'm a civilian liaison to the operations commander
03:25You're expected to acknowledge protocol
03:28I thought you were just passing through
03:29I'm stationed here
03:30Behind comms
03:32Lucky us
03:34What's your name?
03:37Callahan
03:37Private
03:40Are you always this friendly?
03:42Only to people who expect it
03:44Try not to get your shoes dirty
03:50Still attracting the wrong kind of attention, I assume
03:56Stay away from that one if I were you
03:59Have you always been this territorial, Harper?
04:02Only when you show up uninvited
04:03I thought we outgrew this in Fort Lexington
04:06You outgrew the army
04:08I didn't
04:09Okay
04:10Supply test, Alpha through Indigo
04:21You'll supervise the loading for the med runs
04:23Your detail's already been pulled
04:24Uh, is this here
04:26Private Callahan?
04:27Do you have a problem with that?
04:33I'm just surprised if that's someone with more experience for once
04:36He volunteered
04:37I guess we're working together
04:49I guess so
04:51You volunteered?
04:53Somebody's gotta move the boxes
04:54So you're planning on taking orders
04:56Or are you gonna play independent contractor again?
04:58That depends
04:59You plan on giving orders
05:01Or just playing officer
05:02Start with the bandages
05:06And then the field kits
05:08Don't drop anything
05:10Unless you want to get struck
05:23Might be time to stop playing supervisor
05:25You really volunteered for this detail?
05:36It was either this or sanitation
05:38You'd probably be less irritating there
05:40You think I'm irritating?
05:44You walk around like you don't answer to anyone
05:47I walk around not pretending either
05:48Do you know who I am?
05:50I know exactly who you are
05:52It doesn't mean I care
05:55You're really bad at making friends
05:57I'm not here to make friends
05:59Cause I don't know
06:03What you're looking for
06:05Wow
06:11Cozy
06:12Base brief has been pushed until after the thunderstorm
06:15So
06:16As you were
06:18Perfect timing
06:20As always
06:21Were you not going to tell her
06:22That we were doing inventory?
06:25Were you going to tell her that we weren't?
06:37You weren't supposed to be here till tomorrow
06:39I figured I'd surprise you
06:40Thought you might need the motivation
06:43I was in the middle of rounds
06:45No you're not
06:47Come on let's do a walk through together
06:49You can show me what you've been up to
06:51I have three more units to check
06:52And two more
06:53Emma
06:53Came all the way down here early
06:56The least you can do
06:57Is spend the next ten minutes
06:58Speaking like you've still had me
06:59This space is doing something to you
07:05You seem tense
07:06Maybe I'm just tired
07:08Maybe you've forgotten what's at stake
07:10This assignment is about redemption
07:11Not rebellion
07:13I have work to do
07:14You work for me
07:15You work for me
07:15Or did that change while I was
07:17In the air
07:18Jack
07:27Finally
07:28Hi mom
07:29You look
07:30Thing
07:31Hard to stay full on rations and coffee
07:33Tell me again
07:35While you're still out here
07:36Pretending to be one of them
07:37I'm not pretending
07:39You're wasting time
07:40Jack
07:41Your father's getting worse
07:43And you should be here
07:45Learning how to take over Callahan defense
07:47Our stock is dropping
07:49We're losing hundreds of millions in value
07:53Every week
07:54When your father's gone
07:56You're it
07:57I didn't know you worked night shifts
08:01You okay?
08:05I'm fine
08:06You don't look fine
08:13Must be the lighting
08:16You don't talk much
08:18You ever think that's why everyone wonders what your story is?
08:22I'm not here to be a story
08:23What are you here for?
08:25Maybe I wanted to remember what it felt like to earn something
08:29Or I got tired of being told of who I'm supposed to be
08:33Sounds like someone with a past
08:35We all got one here
08:36Some of us are better at hiding it
08:38Or too afraid to share it
08:40Are you afraid of me?
08:41No
08:42I think you're afraid of me
08:45You can't be here
09:03I know
09:04Can't sleep?
09:10Not with everything in my head
09:11You can get used to it
09:15I don't want to get you sore
09:16I don't know who you are
09:18I don't care right now
09:20Jack
09:21Just
09:21Just
09:21Don't
09:23Talk
09:24I can't do this now
09:45I know
09:46What the hell are we doing?
09:54Something we both knew we couldn't stop
09:55I don't get it
09:58I don't get to make mistakes
10:02Not here, not with you
10:04So that's what this was
10:06A mistake
10:07I don't need saving Emma
10:08But I didn't think I would be somebody that
10:11You would regret
10:12That's
10:14That's not what I was actually trying to get
10:16You don't
10:16Have to explain
10:18I'll let myself out
10:25You'll forget about this faster than I would
10:29You've been quiet lately
10:39Distant
10:40Well it's a forward operating base Jeremy
10:42Not exactly the Four Seasons
10:43Look
10:44I'm trying
10:45I know I came in hot the other day
10:47This place
10:49It's bringing out your worst instincts
10:50My worst instincts?
10:52You get reckless
10:53When you feel trapped
10:54And you're not trapped
10:55You just need to stay focused
10:56You think I'm in a problem here?
10:58You need to remember
10:58What we came here to fix
10:59And not create more damage
11:01Emma
11:07Stay away from him
11:10I'm serious
11:11You don't own me, Jeremy
11:12Shouldn't have to
11:13Breakfast was great
11:16As always
11:26Are you here to inspect my stacking technique?
11:32I needed a minute
11:33Are you okay?
11:35Jeremy cornered me at breakfast
11:37Says that I'm distracted
11:40That you're the distraction
11:41Is that true?
11:43Depends
11:44Depends on what?
11:46If you're worth it
11:47You don't have to pretend I didn't leave
11:49And you don't have to pretend I didn't hurt
11:51I can handle orders
11:53Even silence
11:54But when you look at me
11:55Like it didn't mean anything
11:56Now that's the part that screws with me
11:58Anyone can walk in
11:59Then don't say anything
12:00You don't mean
12:01I can't stop thinking about it
12:04About you
12:06Then say it when it matters
12:07Not just when it's safe
12:09Callahan
12:22Jack
12:22Unit 4
12:24Who the hell are you?
12:28Why are you lying?
12:31What are you up to?
12:33Uh, just getting ahead of these
12:34Logistics errors
12:35Last week's were a mess
12:37Well, let me know if you need help
12:39Looking through some of the grunts
12:40I know
12:41Some of them come with complications
12:43I can handle complications
12:45I know
12:46That's what worries me
12:47You requested me?
12:50Just wanted to bring something to your attention
12:52Callahan
12:53Supplies unit
12:55New detail
12:55He's on Emma's logistics team?
12:58It was
12:59He was reassigned twice in the last week
13:01And he always ends up back in her proximity
13:03Think he's targeting her?
13:05I think she's not thinking clearly
13:06And he's taking advantage
13:08There's something off about him
13:09His transfer is clean
13:11But too clean
13:12I've been saying this
13:13No one's listening
13:14Let me help you take back what's yours
13:17Didn't expect to see you today
13:23Where were you stationed before this?
13:26Why?
13:26No reason
13:27You don't talk much
13:29Makes a girl wonder
13:30Infantry training
13:31Stateside
13:32Low profile
13:32That's all?
13:34That's all that matters
13:35Right
13:37Is there something you're not saying?
13:40No
13:40Just trying to figure out
13:42Who's on my team
13:43And who's pretending to be
13:44Are you looking for a reason
13:45Not to trust me?
13:47Maybe I'm looking for a reason
13:48To trust you
13:49Okay we need to have an actual conversation
14:01Oh after you've run my name through every restricted log on base
14:08Who told you?
14:10It doesn't matter
14:11It's the truth isn't it?
14:13I trusted you Emma
14:13And I'm supposed to trust someone who doesn't even have a real service history?
14:16I didn't enlist to be tracked
14:18I enlisted to disappear
14:20And I did
14:21Until you
14:22What are you running from?
14:23Everything
14:24But why can't you just tell me the truth?
14:27Because
14:27I want one thing that's real in my life
14:30Before it gets ripped apart
14:31Your private Jack Callahan of Callahan Defense Systems
14:34This field base alone is probably a half a billion dollar contract for you
14:38Are you here for some sort of secret shopper bullshit?
14:40I'm here because I needed to understand the people that my family's weapons are killing
14:44You wanted the truth?
14:46There it is
14:47Look I didn't want to bring you to this
14:49I tried to keep you out of it
14:51Then why did you kiss me?
14:53Why didn't you just leave?
14:54Because I couldn't
14:55You think that makes it better?
14:56No but it makes it honest
14:58You made me fall for you walking around pretending to be someone else that you weren't
15:01I wasn't pretending
15:02I was trying to figure out who I really am
15:05And then you happened
15:07You want to hate me?
15:12Fine
15:13But don't act like I'm the only one hiding behind a uniform
15:15I'm not hiding
15:17No?
15:18Then why are you still pretending you're okay with him?
15:21This isn't about Jeremy
15:23Isn't it?
15:31Stay away from me
15:32You sure about this?
15:39The transfer's going to flag a man
15:40And I want to know why
15:41Let them ask
15:42I'll be gone before they even decide
15:44Don't
15:46You shouldn't be here
15:51Then you shouldn't be leaving
15:53What, you're just going to disappear?
15:54What else do you expect?
15:56Every day someone else comes sniffing around
15:59Jeremy, Harper, your father
16:02You
16:02I wasn't trying to destroy you
16:04I was trying to
16:05Understand
16:06Oh, and understanding comes with a background check?
16:09And trust doesn't come with silence
16:11If you turn that in
16:13You're not just walking away from the base
16:15You're walking away from me
16:17Maybe that's the only way to protect you
16:18You don't get to decide that
16:20Not when I'm standing right here
16:32You've been quiet
16:35I didn't know there's much left to say
16:37You always say that
16:39And then you say something that sticks in my head all night
16:42My dad is sick
16:43Stage four
16:44Nobody's saying it out loud
16:46But we all know it's coming
16:48They want me to take over the company
16:50Not just the public side
16:52Weapons, tech, defense contracts
16:55All of it
16:56They're not just the type of company that
16:58Ask for permission
16:59They just build the tools
17:01And let the war sort themselves out
17:03And you're next in line?
17:04Like a coronation
17:05Except for the part where
17:07They ask
17:09Do you want the crown?
17:10I joined up because
17:14I couldn't sleep at night
17:16Thinking about the people
17:17That we were building for
17:18What it felt like to be the person
17:20Pulling the trigger
17:20Or carrying the gear
17:22Or not coming home
17:24So you think this will fix it?
17:26No
17:27But now I understand it
17:29I never meant to drag you into this
17:30I never expected you
17:33I didn't expect any of this either
17:36You've been visible lately
17:41I've been performing my assigned duties
17:44I'm not talking about duties
17:46I'm talking about whispers
17:48The kind that don't stay within the wire
17:50The people you surround yourself with
17:52Are a direct reflection on this face
17:53And on me
17:55And on the army
17:57Is that code for Jack?
17:58It's code for judgment
17:59Yours
18:01And Jeremy's judgment?
18:02Still pristine?
18:04He's an officer
18:04And will be your fiancée
18:07So I'm property
18:08Dress it up however you want
18:09That's what you mean
18:10You're not here to question policy
18:12You're here to prove
18:13That you still belong in this world
18:14Now stay away from that private
18:16Or I'll make sure that neither of you
18:18Make it to the finish of this season
18:19Late for a debrief, boss
18:25Not if I'm bringing something useful
18:28Jack Callahan
18:29You know that name, right?
18:31The recruit?
18:32I'm a shadow?
18:33No
18:33Jack Callahan
18:34Only son of Owen Callahan
18:36Chairman and CEO
18:38Of Callahan Defense Systems
18:40The same company
18:41Used to supply
18:42Half of this base's tech
18:44That's not possible
18:46We vet everyone
18:47Not if he's trying to disappear
18:48No fanfare
18:49No press
18:50He just enlists under a private transfer
18:52Through a proxy recruiter
18:53It's legal but buried
18:55So what?
18:56He's hearing some kind of PR stunt?
18:59More like self-assigned field research
19:01Understand the product from the user's perspective
19:03That's the line he gave Emma
19:04Oh, he told Emma this
19:06Every word
19:07She knew this and she didn't report it
19:09She's protecting him
19:10Just like she's protecting their relationship
19:12Fraternization, national security risk
19:15Rounds for full discharge
19:16For both of them
19:18Way more
19:23What are you doing?
19:26Something I should have done before I deployed
19:28I know we've had our attentions
19:30I know I haven't always made space for what you need
19:32But I've always known what we are
19:33Jeremy not here
19:34Not here, then where
19:35This is where we met
19:37Where we trained
19:38Where we became what we are
19:39Marry me
19:44Get up
19:45This is real
19:47I'm not playing games
19:49No, you're just making moves
19:51You want to be seen as strong
19:52Then you stand with me the way we're supposed to
19:54Jeremy
19:55Get up
19:57You say no to this
20:00You better be ready for what comes next
20:03What are you laughing at, huh?
20:14Are you lost?
20:16I just thought I'd drop the requisition list
20:18You left it in the admin tent
20:19You don't usually do favors
20:21Maybe I'm just tired of pretending I don't notice things
20:24You and Emma
20:25The looks, the disappearances
20:28The not-so-secret secrets
20:31Is this where you tell me I'm not good enough?
20:33No
20:33This is where I remind you
20:36That there's an easier path
20:38With fewer risks
20:41Like me
20:43You could have a clean slate
20:45A promotion
20:47A future that doesn't depend on someone
20:49Who's already halfway out the door
20:51And
20:52You don't have to say anything right now
20:55But stop pretending like you haven't thought about it before
20:59I'm not yours to manipulate
21:01Sorry to interrupt
21:04I'll let you get back to whatever this is
21:06Emma, wait
21:12She came into my tent
21:16I didn't ask for that
21:17You didn't stop her either
21:18Yes, I did
21:19You weren't there
21:21Do you know what it feels like to have someone reach out like they already own you?
21:24I've only ever wanted you
21:25Nothing has changed
21:27Then why does it feel like I keep walking in on the middle of your story?
21:30So this is where we're doing it now
21:31Mid-base
21:33Midnight apologies
21:34Jeremy, not here
21:36Not now
21:36You humiliate me
21:37In front of half the base
21:38And now you're sneaking around with him again
21:40We weren't sneaking around
21:41That is rich
21:42Following someone like a damn stray dog
21:44After you spent weeks sliding to him
21:45Stop
21:46No
21:47Let's talk about what's going on here
21:48Let's talk about what he is
21:50And what you're willing to risk
21:51Chasing
21:52Whatever this is
21:53Watch your tone
21:54That's enough
21:55Stand down
21:57Sir, I think you should
21:58You're dismissed
21:59All of you
22:01That means you too, private
22:02You summoned me?
22:08Do you think this is a game?
22:10No, sir
22:10You humiliated an officer publicly
22:13And now you're crawling around with a soldier
22:15You barely know
22:16A soldier who's going to drag you down with him
22:18I'm not
22:19Don't talk
22:20You will accept Jeremy's proposal
22:22You will marry him for the next appointment
22:25Do you understand me?
22:27You can't force me
22:29You know what happens
22:30If you walk away from this
22:31No army
22:33No clearance
22:35No future
22:36Why are you doing this?
22:38Because I'm not going to watch you
22:40Throw your life
22:41For some private
22:42To play soldier
22:43Say it
22:44Right
22:44Now
22:45Yes, sir
22:47Get cleaned up
22:49Go make it public
22:51First thing in the morning
22:52Morning
22:57Look, I know this isn't how you pictured it
23:03But this, it fixes everything
23:05I'm not broken
23:06That's not what I meant
23:08We don't have to be in love, Emma
23:11We have to be aligned
23:13You and me, we're built for this
23:14Legacy
23:15Power
23:16Security
23:17What if I want more than that?
23:19Then you'd be gone already
23:20But you're not
23:21You say yes to this
23:22Everything stabilizes
23:23For you
23:24For me
23:25For your father
23:25This is how we win
23:27Do it quickly
23:30Gentlemen
23:40Before we begin this morning's assignments
23:42I am proud to acknowledge
23:44An announcement from Captain Rose
23:46This base has been a test of all of us
23:49Who we are under pressure
23:52Who we protect
23:53For me
23:54Showing me who I want beside me
23:57When it matters
23:58Emma Whitmore
23:59Will you marry me?
24:02Yes
24:03Just breathe
24:16Smile
24:17Before this room is done
24:18I'd like to say a few words
24:21When I first met Emma
24:22She didn't follow any rules
24:24But leadership
24:25Comes in many forms
24:27Takes strength
24:28To choose order
24:29To choose
24:30A man like Jeremy
24:32To the future Mrs. Rhodes
24:34Can I do anything to help?
24:55You shouldn't be here
24:56That stopped mattering weeks ago
24:58And you said yes
24:59Right in front of me
25:00Yeah and I saw you look right at me
25:02And then leave
25:02Because I thought you were gone
25:04And then I had to watch you say yes
25:06In front of everyone
25:07You think I wanted that?
25:08I think you let it happen
25:09And I think you're letting him win
25:11I'm not letting anything happen
25:14You don't know what he's holding over me
25:16You don't know what he's capable of
25:18Then tell me
25:19It wouldn't change anything
25:20It would change me
25:21Listen
25:22I never asked you to pick me
25:24I just wanted to believe
25:25That you would try
25:26You have no idea
25:30How hard I'm trying
25:31I'm engaged
25:32To a man I don't love
25:33Controlled by a father
25:34Who doesn't even see me
25:35And now I'm haunted by a man
25:37Who still looks at me
25:38Like I could be his future
25:39Then run
25:40With me
25:41Right now
25:42I can't
25:46We all saw her face
25:59There's a difference
26:00Between saying yes
26:01And meaning it
26:02He staged that whole thing
26:05He's trying to lock it down
26:06Before something explodes
26:07It already did
26:08Well you think this is over?
26:11You better walk away
26:12Before someone gets hurt
26:13It was just another name
26:14On a roster
26:15And then she looked at you
26:16Like you matter
26:16You want to finish this now?
26:18Finish the gloves
26:19Doesn't matter
26:19No medals
26:26No ranks
26:27Just truth
26:29You trying to get medical leave?
26:39Enough of the talking
26:40Here we go boys
26:42You're either walking out
26:43Or getting carried out
26:44You're not mad that I took her
27:03You're mad because she never even wanted you
27:05You should be in med
27:16I didn't want the paperwork
27:19Was it satisfying?
27:24Watching the internet
27:25Watching the news
27:27No
27:27I know I tried
27:29You tried to control me
27:31Because I didn't know how to keep you
27:34You always look like
27:35You belong to the light
27:38I was just trying to keep both
27:39You don't have to be like him now
27:41No
27:42Like Alden
27:43You shouldn't be here
27:59You shouldn't be here
27:59I shouldn't be
28:05And yet
28:06And yet
28:06I saw you walk away
28:08And that hurt more than saying yes ever did
28:11You can't keep coming and calling like this
28:13It's killing me
28:14Then let me stay
28:15Are you sure?
28:17I'm sure
28:18I keep coming for you
28:34I know
28:34I don't have to beauty
28:35I don't have to be like
28:36みんな
28:37A child
28:39I don't have to be
28:40Think carbono
28:41I don't have to be
28:42I don't have to be
28:45The Isso
29:16If I run away from all this, I'm still going to be safe.
29:26That's all I've been waiting for.
29:41Copy you.
29:43You wanted to see me, sir?
29:45How's your father?
29:46Stable, last I heard, but still stubborn.
29:50That's how I remember him.
29:51We grew up on the same street.
29:52Did you know that?
29:53No, sir.
29:54He was my best friend.
29:56That kind of keeps your secrets, even when you don't deserve it.
29:59Is that why I'm still here?
30:00I knew who you were the moment I saw your name on the enlistment roll.
30:04Your father called in a favor.
30:06Said you needed time, perspective.
30:09I knew this whole time.
30:12The questions, the threats.
30:14That wasn't for me.
30:16That was theater.
30:16Stand down, son.
30:18It was protection until it wasn't.
30:20This space is under review.
30:24Command wants clean optics.
30:26No scandal, no stories.
30:28Just order.
30:29I'm not a part of that order.
30:31You were never supposed to matter.
30:33Then Emma happened.
30:35I've tried to keep you safe, but she's my daughter.
30:37And I can't protect both of you.
30:38So what happens now?
30:41You disappear, quietly, with honor.
30:45Or we all go down.
30:58What was so urgent?
31:00I need to tell you something.
31:01Before somebody else tells you their version.
31:03Is it about Harper?
31:04No.
31:05It's about your father and me.
31:06He's known who I was this whole time.
31:08From day one, my enlistment wasn't random.
31:11My father asked him to keep me under the radar,
31:14to give me perspective for a reset.
31:15So you're saying that this was just a favor?
31:18I didn't ask for it.
31:19I didn't even know until today.
31:21And he just told you this out of the kindness of his heart?
31:24No, because command knows.
31:26And now he wants me gone, quietly.
31:28So this whole time you were here,
31:30you were protected by him while I was getting
31:32interrogated, threatened.
31:34I never used it.
31:35I didn't even want it.
31:37While I was falling for you,
31:39you were still a part of their game.
31:40I didn't know, Emma.
31:41I swear.
31:41I didn't know.
31:42You always say that.
31:43I didn't know.
31:44I didn't mean to.
31:44Maybe that's the real problem.
31:46You only figure things out when it's too late.
31:48I only told you this because I thought
31:49you deserved the truth.
31:50Well, here's mine.
31:51I don't know who to hate more right now,
31:52him
31:53or you.
31:55I take no pleasure in this.
32:05Then don't do it.
32:06That's not how this works.
32:09You're going to marry Captain Rhodes.
32:11There's a ceremony scheduled.
32:1348 hours.
32:14It'll be quiet, contained, and attended by command reps.
32:18Afterward, your record will be sealed
32:20and we'll all move forward.
32:21You think this fixes it?
32:22It neutralizes it.
32:24You're treating this like a scandal cleanup,
32:26like I'm a problem that you have to manage.
32:29You are my daughter,
32:31and this is the price of protecting your name
32:32and mine.
32:34And Jack?
32:35We'll go quietly reassigned.
32:36No charges, no noise.
32:38That was the deal.
32:39So you protect the institution
32:40and just bury everything else?
32:42I gave you space.
32:44I'll let you make mistakes.
32:45This one doesn't get to leave a footprint.
32:47I expect you to cooperate.
32:48Dress fitting is at 0800 hours.
32:50What if I say no?
32:51Then you're no longer my daughter.
32:57Understood, sir.
33:03Sorry, I usually tie tents, not dresses,
33:06but Miss Whitmore, I think you look fantastic.
33:11Well, you look perfect.
33:16It's not real.
33:17It's real enough.
33:19After this, everything resets.
33:22The whispers stop.
33:23The paperwork disappears.
33:25We go back to where we were supposed to be.
33:27I don't even know what that means anymore.
33:29You and me.
33:31Version everyone respects.
33:33I was never that version.
33:35Then fake it a little longer.
33:38Just get through the ceremony,
33:39and I'll give you space.
33:41I can sleep in a different tent for all I care.
33:44But we finish this together.
33:46Fine.
33:47Good.
33:48Have you seen requisitions for the north perimeter detail?
34:07I think Corporal Ditwit filed it this morning.
34:09Didn't expect to see you work in comms.
34:11Just tying up some loose ends.
34:12Are you always this helpful?
34:14I guess scandal brings out the teen spirit, right?
34:17You know, Whitmore,
34:18it's always the people who pretend to follow the rules
34:21who breaks them the hardest.
34:25You saying that to me or about me?
34:27Just an observation.
34:28But you'll want to get ahead of it.
34:30It seems like things are about to get messy.
34:32Yo.
34:42Check out base T-chat.
34:44That's the general's kid.
34:46And Callahan?
34:47I thought he was just a grunt.
34:49I didn't know he had it in him.
34:54I swear, I didn't.
34:56I know.
34:58It doesn't matter now.
34:59We'll work this out.
35:00Together or separately?
35:02It's cute.
35:04Real cute.
35:06Are you going to explain or let the pictures talk?
35:09Not here.
35:11Show's over.
35:12Get back to work.
35:16You don't know who you're messing with.
35:1824 hours ago, this base had discipline.
35:25Now every private with a data plan is a paparazzi.
35:27I want this breach traced.
35:30Com's a scrubbing channel, sir.
35:31My team's isolating the origin server.
35:33Origins, not the problem.
35:35The receptionist.
35:36At the brigade, thanks for a soap opera.
35:38And that perception changes tomorrow at 1,300 hours.
35:41When you put a ring on my daughter's hand,
35:43the camera captures all the units.
35:45Understood?
35:46Yes, sir.
35:47This waiting carries the weight of my command.
35:49Your reputation, your mother's memory.
35:52One flawless ceremony, all the chatter dies.
35:55I want sabotaging, sir.
35:57See that you don't.
35:58Lieutenant Boss will take point.
36:00Guest list, press frames, photos.
36:02All locked by 1,800 hours.
36:05I don't care who took the photos.
36:08After tomorrow, they mean nothing.
36:10Give them the perfect story to put.
36:13Dismissed.
36:13You leek them.
36:26I manage logistics, not gossip.
36:30Angle.
36:31Timestamp.
36:32Vantage point.
36:33Only someone with your clearance could pull that feed.
36:36You know, you think you're a damsel in distress,
36:39but no, Whitmore.
36:39You've ruined careers for sport.
36:43What's the win?
36:44Truth, accountability, and maybe a promotion
36:47when command sees who keeps the house clean.
36:50My father will know.
36:51Your father already knows everything.
36:53And tomorrow, he's going to walk you down the aisle
36:55like a pretty apology.
36:56My hands are clean.
36:58Yours never were.
36:59Sir, we need to talk now.
37:12I'll leave you to it, sir.
37:13Make it quick, private.
37:14I'll disappear today.
37:16New post, new name, no noise.
37:18But you call off the wedding, and Emma walks free.
37:21You think this is about two kids in love?
37:23Command wants a narrative.
37:24Fallen daughter reforged through honorable union.
37:28This wedding is a firebreak point
37:29between mutiny and scandal.
37:31Then you burn my record, not hers.
37:33Your record's not the headline here.
37:35Her face is.
37:36One ceremony, one picture set, story ends.
37:40You were my father's friend.
37:42Which is why you're still standing here.
37:44Walk away now as she keeps her name.
37:46Disrupt tomorrow, and I will shred both of you
37:50with every post-action report until Kingdom Con.
37:54And you better write fast, sir,
37:55because I will never let her stand alone again.
37:58I'm glad you came.
38:19I'm glad you came.
38:28Tomorrow's already planned.
38:45Plans change.
38:50Sign it, hand it to the chaplain mid-ceremony.
38:54Then walk towards me.
38:55I'll be waiting.
38:56They'll court-martial you for disruption.
38:59And they'll court-martial you for loving me.
39:01Unless we write a headline they can't spin.
39:04Tomorrow.
39:051,300 hours, love and clear.
39:07After the shock settles,
39:08we'll leave together.
39:09No uniform.
39:10Just us.
39:11Just us.
39:15You should go.
39:17I need to be with you right now.
39:18I used to dream about command like a kid dreams about space.
39:29Now it just feels like orbiting a dead star.
39:32I've tried a different sky.
39:33The call is selfish.
39:34Selfish is living a lie just so other people feel comfortable.
39:38Once I sign, there's no pension, no clearance.
39:41All the doors that my father promised.
39:43We'll build new doors.
39:44Not a ring, but a promise.
39:56Tangle it together.
39:57Is today the start of the end or the beginning?
40:13Beginning.
40:14Thirteen hours.
40:16You'll hand the chaplain that letter.
40:19Then walk straight towards me.
40:21Would MPs grab you first?
40:22They'll need a reason with all those witnesses.
40:27It's not good for the optics, right?
40:31After the ceremony,
40:32head for the South Service Road.
40:35I stashed a civilian jeep beyond the tree line.
40:38We'll be fugitives.
40:40We'll be free.
40:41We'll be free.
40:41Chaplain's on standby.
40:59Press still outside the wire.
41:01Just smile and salute the flag.
41:03Easy.
41:05Ain't a minute alone with my bride.
41:07Try not to screw this up, Whitmore.
41:09Tell me the truth, Emma.
41:19Answer today, will you try,
41:20or do you spend the rest of your life
41:23chasing a ghost named Jack?
41:25After today, I don't answer to anyone.
41:29What is this?
41:30A promise you can't touch.
41:32I was the future.
41:34Now I'm a headline footnote
41:36because you need adventure.
41:38I needed honesty.
41:39Private Callahan, logistics courier.
41:55Ceremony supplies got rerouted,
41:57and I need in.
41:58Our orders to detain Private Jack Callahan
41:59under personal audit lockdown.
42:01On a wedding day?
42:03Explain this, Captain.
42:05Man safeguards optics, Callahan.
42:07Can't risk a logistics mishap
42:09spoiling my house.
42:11You can't bury me.
42:13Take them away.
42:15Callahan, don't make us do this the hard way.
42:17Let's go.
42:18No, no.
42:21Check-ups every 10 minutes.
42:23If you need water, just holler it.
42:26Politely.
42:31Auditors.
42:32I was running late.
42:35Figured I'd keep you company.
42:36Music's about to roll.
42:43Then say what you came to say.
42:44I know you're waiting for him,
42:46but I had him detained.
42:47Detained where?
42:48You won every war but this one, Dad.
42:50You can still call it off, okay?
42:52Release him.
42:53End the charade.
42:54The optics are set.
42:55Command, press, donors.
42:57This wedding stabilizes all of us.
42:59All of us?
43:00Or you?
43:00If you walk away from this today,
43:03you lose your career, clearance,
43:06and any ties to it.
43:07I can't shield you.
43:09I'm not asking for your shield.
43:10I'm asking for my life back.
43:12Let him go, Dad.
43:14Let me go.
43:16Just one more march and you're safe.
43:18The only safe place is truth.
43:20You made the truth serve you better
43:22than rank served me.
43:27She'll see that aisle empty.
43:29No.
43:30She won't.
43:32She'll see a groom who shows up.
43:34You want to know the best part?
43:36Tomorrow morning press will print.
43:37A fairytale-based wedding.
43:40And you're going to be a footnote
43:42under security factions.
43:46That's for the bruise again, my head.
43:49Do you recognize this?
43:51Huh?
43:52You should.
43:53The family's factory.
43:54They made it.
43:54You made it.
43:56And it ends you.
43:58That's kind of poetic.
43:59You keep clawing and clawing for the stage.
44:05And this little piece, the family legacy?
44:09It writes through your regime.
44:11Pull that trigger and you'll prove all the headlines right about you.
44:13The headlines are written by survivors.
44:15Tomorrow, the army ships will offer something.
44:23I'll already create our base.
44:25But no one remembers your name.
44:27All rise for the bride, please.
44:42MP reports still secure.
45:02You're clear.
45:03Family, comrades, and guardians of honor.
45:06We gather here today to bless this sacred union, born of service, between Captain Jeremy
45:13Rhodes and Miss Emma Whitmore.
45:16Captain, you may say your vows.
45:18Emma, you and I are both fighters.
45:21I want to conquer this world with you hand in hand.
45:24Captain Jeremy Rhodes, having spoken your vows, do you take Miss Emma Whitmore to be your lawfully wedded wife?
45:31I do.
45:34Miss Emma Whitmore, do you take Captain Rhodes to be your lawfully wedded husband, to honor and to cherish for the days of your lives?
45:43Miss?
45:48Miss Woodmore?
45:50I...
45:51Emma, don't say it!
45:59I do.
46:01I want you, Jack.
46:10And I resign my commission.
46:13I got some nerve.
46:23Stand down!
46:25Get him out of here!
46:27No!
46:28Him!
46:29Time to go, Jack.
46:30What?
46:35You're almost too late.
46:37We had to give him a story worth writing about.
46:39Now we control the optics.
46:43You invaded my command, hijacked my ceremony, and put a thousand cameras on my failure.
46:54And you gave me the only stage big enough to show her that I would never leave.
46:59I choose him, Dad.
47:01Not as rebellion, but as the only truth left.
47:04You'll both carry it all out.
47:06We'll carry it together.
47:06She runs hot.
47:11When command wouldn't end, I've been.
47:13Promise me that you will.
47:14I promise.
47:15I taught you to salute before you spoke.
47:17You taught me to listen before I command.
47:26I never wanted to break your command.
47:28I just wanted to find my own.
47:30Then, Commander.
47:31I just promise you'll come home sometime.
47:47Well, General, if the battlefield is clear, are we still having a wedding, or am I overdressed?
47:54Well, this is yours, Padre.
47:58Let's do this the right way.
48:00The truth speaks.
48:01Vows only need witness.
48:04I choose you beyond rank, beyond fear, for every dawn.
48:11And I choose you against orders, against odds, for every desk.
48:17Witness by heart, and honor.
48:20And one very patient brigade.
48:23Callahan did it.
48:24Your man and wife, you may now kiss the bride.
48:28Hoorah!
48:37Hoorah!
