00:01Something happened that last week.
00:03He seemed burdened.
00:04He was the president.
00:05And he was in my office,
00:07stumbling around drunk in his bathroom.
00:13Take me through Wildcats' day. Anything irregular?
00:16He got out of his bathroom for the first time in a week.
00:18Spent the morning making pasta.
00:20And that's it?
00:20Coffee with Sinatra in the afternoon.
00:23You-know-who made her daily happy hour appearance.
00:25Kid bailed on him for dinner.
00:27I ghosted him yesterday.
00:29I had told him that I wished he was dead.
00:33How's your dad?
00:34Still just a light touch of dementia.
00:36Cal!
00:37Where is my son?
00:38That's why we're sending these four brave explorers into the unknown.
00:42Is that what we thought?
00:43There's life.
00:46I had done some things.
00:47It might have to do with what happened to our guy.
00:50What things, man?
00:51Look, tomorrow.
00:51I'll tell you everything, I swear to God.
00:53You think you're the only killer I brought down here just in case?
00:56You're gonna send somebody for me?
00:58You better make sure it's the biggest motherfucker you got.
01:16I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
01:22The bright sun was extinguished and the stars did wander darkling in the eternal space.
01:31And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light.
01:59You want your mix back, sir?
02:00Nah, you can keep it.
02:01I just like making them.
02:14Hey!
02:16What took you so long?
02:18You're pilot, you're jet, you tell me.
02:26Have you watched this guy play?
02:30Tiger Woods?
02:30Yeah.
02:32Everyone watches him play.
02:34The father did a hell of a job with him.
02:37It's possible the kid had some natural talent, too.
02:42Anything's possible.
02:44Make you a drink.
02:46It's 11 a.m.
02:47And happy hour somewhere.
02:52Our Oklahoma project didn't find a drop of goddamn oil.
02:56Eh, it happens.
02:58I am more bullish on North Dakota and the back and shale.
03:05Well, I am told that you have barely been to the fields.
03:10Got your little birdies delivering new intel, huh?
03:19I'm leaving the business, Dad.
03:23Drilling and hydrofracturing were never my speed.
03:26I want something simpler.
03:29I want to teach high school.
03:32Hmm.
03:38Oh, boy.
03:41No.
03:43No, no, no.
03:45Over my dead, corroded body, Cal.
03:50I will give you one thing.
03:51You are a shit oil man.
03:53And that is why you're going into politics.
03:55You will begin in Kentucky, of course.
03:58Our last name alone could get a horse with a speech impediment
04:02elected in Kentucky.
04:03Now, you can either run as a Democrat for the Senate
04:06or a Republican for governor.
04:07Either way, once you've served a couple of terms,
04:10we can begin to position you for better things.
04:15I'm not a teenager anymore.
04:17You don't control me.
04:20But...
04:21This is what's happening, Cal.
04:24You are going to have a life.
04:27And a big one.
04:28And one that does not include teaching dipshit ninth graders
04:32catcher in the rye year after year.
04:35Now, you come from a long line of men who have lived big lives.
04:40Men who have made this world, more or less, with their bare hands.
04:44And I am not going to watch you piss all that away.
04:48When you leave this life, you are going to goddamned exit it
04:52with some pride in your accomplishments,
04:54even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming to those accomplishments.
05:00Now, you will thank me one day.
05:03And even if you don't, your future children certainly will.
05:09Unlike you, they might just be grateful for that Bradford name.
05:39I'm sorry.
05:49I'm sorry.
05:50I am sorry.
05:51I'm sorry.

19:18I don't understand.
19:21I was with him last night.

21:27Sniper, lost at sea, what the fuck does that mean?
21:57What the fuck?
22:25Sniper, lost at sea, what the fuck does that mean?
22:35Sniper, lost at sea, what the fuck does that mean?
22:58Sniper, lost at sea, what the fuck does that mean?

23:28Sniper, lost at sea, what the fuck does that mean?
23:40Sniper, lost at sea, what the fuck does that mean?
23:58Oh, there.
23:59Your Honor.
24:00I mean, not, uh, not, Your Honor.
24:03What is, what is it?
24:04Mr. President.
24:05Cal is fine.
24:06If I wanted to make a mixtape, is that possible?
24:08Yeah, uh, yes.
24:09We have the music library.
24:11Thousands and thousands of albums in various formats with listening...
24:14Terrific, terrific.
24:15Where would that be?
24:17Straight ahead and up the stairs.
24:19Thank you very much.
24:20And great work you're doing here.
24:21The library is the jewel of the city.
24:49I've made up my mind.
24:54I ain't wasting no more time.
24:59I'm just another heart in the air rescue.
25:05Waiting on love, sweet charity.
25:11Does patient-doctor confidentiality still exist down here?
25:14Of course, yes.
25:18Confidentially, then.
25:20If ever for some reason we can't talk anymore,
25:24because I'm, uh, let's just say unavailable,
25:30you're going to want to look at someone.
25:37Out of every one of my details,
25:39Xavier Collins is the only one I really trust.
25:42So you're going to want to discuss it with him.
25:51And here I go, again, on my own.
25:56Going down the ugly road, I've never known.
26:01Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone.
26:08But I've made up my mind.
26:13I ain't wasting no more time.
26:16It's nice to see you out of your bathrobe, Cal.
26:18And here I go, again, on my own.
26:22I know what you did, Samantha.
26:27I accessed the files about the expedition.
26:41A decision had to be made.
26:44And I made it.
26:46To be a murderer?
26:47Every indication is that the surface of the planet is uninhabitable.
26:52People need to know that there are survivors.
26:56That their people could be alive up there.
26:59And then what?
27:01They go searching, whatever the fuck that looks like.
27:04Letting others know where we are.
27:06It's a death sentence.
27:07That's their decision, not yours.
27:11And I'm going to tell them the truth.
27:13No, you're not.
27:13I'm the president.
27:15Don't you ever fucking tell me what I can or cannot do.
27:18You understand me?
27:20If I decide to tell...
27:22What?
27:23Say it to my face.
27:28I want to see what it looks like when you have balls, sir.
27:39It's fine.
27:42We're fine.
27:58He's fine.
28:18Pace took a dose of fentanyl, no one could mistake for recreational.
28:24Coroner's ruling it a suicide.
28:26Billy was trying to warn me.
28:27He knew something about her.
28:33First Cal, then Billy.
28:37It was her.
28:41Tequila neat.
28:45He was like a little brother to me, Billy.
28:50I was in love with him, Cal.
28:59Neat.
29:04So what are we gonna do?
29:06Sit here and drink our feelings?
29:08That's an option.
29:15Or we take her down.
29:20It's gonna be hard taking anybody down without weapons.
29:29They're weapons.
29:32And I know how to get them.
29:57I've been looking everywhere for you.
29:58How was my eulogy?
30:02Um...
30:03It...
30:05It killed.
30:12All he wanted those last few days was to hit shots with me on this stupid thing.
30:19To pretend we were playing Pebble Beach or Kapaloo and that none of this had ever happened.
30:29It was so awful to her.
30:32I didn't even show up for dinner that night.
30:51It was so awful to my parents.
30:52I fell to him before that.
31:00After that, I'm going to put it.
31:00Now for that, I'm going to bring you up for a while.
31:03This is why I'm going to kick my leg.
31:11How about you show me Kapalua?
31:44Are you okay?
31:46Do you want me to turn it off?
31:48No. No.
31:51It's just really beautiful.
32:05What are you doing here?
32:08Grandpa, um, I'm so sorry.
32:11Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing here?
32:14All right, come on, Grandpa.
32:15I know you. No, I saw her, Kal. I know you, girl. I know you.
32:20Hey, Grandpa, stop it, Kal. Hey, let go.
32:22Let go of me, you son of a bitch. Stop.
32:24I got to get out of here.
32:25What are you...
32:27Prez, Prez, I'm sorry.
32:30He thinks that I'm my dad and...
32:33Prez, Prez, no.
32:56...
33:01...
33:08...
33:10...
33:26I don't want any more of your trinkets.
33:30What?
33:32What are you talking about?
33:34I can't do this, Cal.
33:36I can't keep coming over here like you're a hooker.
33:39Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
33:41Hang on.
33:45All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
33:47Listen, can you come sit, please?
33:50No.
33:51Hey.
33:55So you're telling me you came over here dressed like this just to break my heart?
34:03I'm gonna go.
34:03Okay, look. Hey. Come on.
34:07Get out of my way before I break your fucking nose.
34:11Now you're just turning me on.
34:13Ow.
34:14Shit.
34:15Fuck.
34:16Robinson, wait. Hey, hey. The guns.
34:22You said you missed holding a gun.
34:25I was gonna take you shooting.
34:27The sub-basement of the arena, okay?
34:29You just punch in a four-digit code.
34:31It's my inauguration day.
34:34Are you actually trying to use guns to bribe me into staying?
34:39Yeah.
34:41Yes. Yes, I am.
34:42That's exactly what I'm doing.
34:43I'll do whatever it takes.
34:44I got a few months left on this job.
34:46I can stop the play acting with Jessica.
34:49We can get a divorce and you and I can do all that romantic shit together.
34:54We can hold hands in public and talk about our love languages.
34:57All of it. I want all of it with you.
35:00Nicole.
35:02I love you.
35:05You made me crazy.
35:16Call me when you're sober.
35:39And you did not use me.
35:40And when you spent a whole town,
35:41I don't know.
35:42I drew a Himself.
35:42everon the base.
35:44How big is that?
35:45Were weurn Gave you over on the ship?
35:45How big is that?
35:46other than home.
35:49Closed have at home now.
35:55None ahead of this grace,
35:56I agree about how many times
35:59could not нед‑ weekends.
35:59No her foot vulgar for searching for a door.
36:04It's the only thing that'll stay in my brain from start to finish.
36:14My wife, she was an English teacher in high school.
36:19She loved teaching this poem, Darkness, Lord Byron.
36:27My wife said it was one of the few poems that actually got her kids
36:31to sit up in their seats.
36:33I remember.
36:34Yeah.
36:36I remember her giving you that bookmark for Christmas.
36:39All the luxuries we had.
36:41That's the one thing you held on to all this time.
36:44Yeah.
36:46Kind of makes you think, doesn't it?
36:50What would she have thought of all this?
36:57She would be grateful that her son was alive.
37:05She and I met in college.
37:08My family didn't approve of her, and hers could not make head or tails of me.
37:13So our courtship had to be a secret.
37:16And this was our little signal, you see,
37:18because I would slip flowers into whatever she was reading
37:22so that I could be sure that she knew as soon as we graduated.
37:27And I found my place in the business that I would marry her.
37:35Every flower was a secret.
37:38And then when it came time to build the biggest secret of all,
37:45the great secret that would carry on the history of mankind,
37:48I kept this symbol alive for her.
37:54So when you ask what would she think,
37:58I think that you have confused yourself about why I did this.
38:09I built this for you and for Jeremy.
38:15And I built it for her.
38:25Can I ask you something, Dad?
38:27Because I may be in a bit of danger right now,
38:29and I need to know.
38:33I did everything you asked of me in this life.
38:38My life was your chess piece.
38:41And I delivered.
38:44I led as big a life as a man can live,
38:46and I hated every fucking moment of it.
38:49But I did it.
38:52Through you.
38:56So did any of it.
39:02Have I ever made you proud?
39:10You never did anything I didn't do for you.
39:20and the crowd was famished by degrees
39:48so
40:53Dad, there's a thing...
40:55Hey, listen, um, there's something awful I need to tell you.
41:01I don't even know.
41:04Uncle Billy, he's gone.
41:06He's dead.
41:10What?
41:11I hate to drop it on you like that, but, um, there's something I gotta take care of, and I
41:16need you to do exactly what I ask right now, okay?
41:19Go upstairs and get your brother.
41:21Pack a bag, whatever you can put into a backpack.
41:23Why? What's happening?
41:24Extra clothes, James' toothbrush, maybe a few books to read.
41:27Dad, what are you talking about?
41:28I need your help, Presley.
41:31I need you to be in control, and I need you to be strong, okay?
41:39Uncle Billy's gone?
41:40Like, this is real?
41:47I know, baby.
41:49I love you, and I'm asking a lot of you.
41:52I know I wouldn't put you through the duty.
41:54It's okay.
41:54Dad, go.
41:57What you have to do...
42:19Hey Carl, I need to call in that favor.
42:23It's gonna be a bit more than a sourdough stutter.
42:35What the hell is wrong with you, huh?
42:37Why did you do that?
42:38Grandpa, you scared the shit out of her.
42:42Who?
42:43Don't play it like that.
42:44I'm not playing it like anything, Cal.
42:46I'm not my fucking dad, okay?
42:54Never mind.
42:57You were right the other night.
43:01You were right, Cal.
43:09What was I right about?
43:10All of it.
43:14All of it.
43:23Your mother wanted to name you Arthur, after her grandfather.
43:29Too soft, I said.
43:32Not a great man's name, but Cal Bradford now.
43:37That's a name for a leader, a leader of men.
43:48I am not proud of anything I did.
43:58But I am so very proud of you.
44:11And I am so very sorry, son.
44:26I'm sorry too, Dad.
44:37I'm sorry for what I said to you.
44:42I forgive you for everything.
45:02The world was void.
45:05The populace and the powerful was a lump, seasonless, herbless, trueless, manless, lifeless.
45:15A lump of death.
45:18A chaos of hard clay.
45:23Ships, sailorless, lay rotting on the sea.
45:27And their masts fell down piecemeal.
45:31As they dropped, they slept on the abyss without waves were dead.
45:39The tides were in their grave.
45:42The moon, the moon, their mistress, had expired before.
45:49The winds were withered in the stagnant air.
45:55And the clouds perished.
45:59Darkness had no need of aid from them.
46:05She was the universe.
46:14She...
46:18I saw her that night.
46:25I saw her.
46:27I saw her.
46:38The wind was wind...
46:41Will to survive.
46:47Will to survive.
46:48So many times.
46:52You trade your passion for glory.
46:58Don't lose your grit.
47:03Keep them align.
47:05Oh, my God.
47:38Oh, my God.
48:35Oh, my God.
48:35Oh, my God.
49:32Oh, my God.
50:04Oh, my God.
50:05Oh, my God.
