00:43:28brain off yet. You okay? Don't go. I kind of like you right where you are.
00:43:42Ethan, I want you. Right here. Right now. Are you sure about this?
00:43:54That was my dad. Something's wrong. Dad? Joel? You here?
00:44:03Ethan, he's gone. They took him.
00:44:11Damn it! That son of a bitch didn't learn his lesson. I'm gonna end this today.
00:44:18Sir? What's going on? Where are you going? Max took my father. I'm going to find him.
00:44:23What? After losing that badly, he still had the balls to make a move? Sir, I'm with you. Let's go.
00:44:28Ethan, if you want to see your old man breathe again, get to Warehouse 3 at the docks. You have
00:44:33three hours. If you're late or if I see a single cop, he's dead. Oh, and I brought in a
00:44:37special
00:44:37guest to welcome you. The god of assassins, Alan. I knew it. Mally, get the keys. We're going to
00:44:42Warehouse 3. Now! Sir, wait. Don't rush into this. You need to call
00:44:48on a tactical team. Alan's not easy to deal with. Alan? You know him? Alan is the number
00:44:53one ranked hitter on the list. His bounty is over a hundred million. He's way above my
00:44:58level. This could end very badly. They have my dad, James. I don't care if God himself is
00:45:02guarding that warehouse. I'm bringing him home.
00:45:20Max, we had a deal. You said you'd leave us alone.
00:45:25A deal? That was just something I said to make you sleep better at night. You people
00:45:30really believe promises? That's adorable. When your son shows up, you'll die together.
00:45:35Family reunion.
00:45:38Showtime.
00:45:44Uncle!
00:45:45Max, untie my father right now, or I'll put a bullet through your head.
00:45:52Go on. Pull the trigger.
00:45:59Dad, that's him! The one who dropped me and Bill.
00:46:03You? A nobody soldier with that kind of skill? Interesting.
00:46:08If you want blood, take mine. Leave my father out of this.
00:46:10You want him alive? Simple.
00:46:12You face Alan. One round. You win, you all walk out. You lose, you also lose your hands. Both of
00:46:20them.
00:46:21Ethan, don't! Just leave! They don't honor deals they never have!
00:46:26You don't have to trust me. But if you refuse...
00:46:32Three...
00:46:32Two...
00:46:33Enough! I'll take the match.
00:46:40I'll give you some free advice. Save yourself the humiliation. You can't beat me.
00:46:46I don't quit.
00:46:48Sir, let me take this one.
00:46:51James, I'll give you that. You're good. But good isn't enough.
00:46:55You're ranked second for a reason. Number one is standing right here.
00:46:59No matter how hard you try, you still lose.
00:47:01Coming from someone who doesn't even have a ranking, you don't get to judge my shooting.
00:47:04You!
00:47:05Let him shoot. When he loses, we break his hands. That's what traitors deserve.
00:47:11Honestly, it doesn't matter who steps up. Neither of you stands a chance.
00:47:16Hell, you can both come at me together if you're feeling brave.
00:47:19Sir, I'll go first. Either way, this ends today. Be careful. If something feels off, I step in.
00:47:27I'll take the round.
00:47:29Rules are simple. Ten clay targets. Most hits win.
00:47:38Alan! Ten out of ten!
00:47:40He's faster. Cleaner. More precise.
00:47:43This level, James, doesn't stand a chance.
00:47:48So that's it? No way back?
00:47:51Now you get it?
00:47:52That's Alan. Real talent. Real terror. If you're scared, just say the word.
00:47:56Better keep me company for a few nights and I'll be merciful.
00:47:58Maybe I'll leave you one hand to remember me by.
00:48:00Touch her again and you lose the arm. As long as I'm breathing, we're not losing.
00:48:03Still playing hero? Hope you keep that attitude when I'm breaking your hands one at a time.
00:48:09Enough talk. Your turn.
00:48:16Well, second place is just a fancy word for loser. This is over.
00:48:23James, two seconds.
00:48:36That wasn't luck. That was instant. Combat instant. You don't learn that on a range. You earn it in war.
00:48:42You're not a simple soldier. Who the hell are you?
00:48:50Yes! Ten for ten!
00:48:52No way. That's luck. Pure luck.
00:48:55I paid you to end this. My old man didn't burn millions so you could tie with nobodies.
00:48:59A draw. Then let's stop playing safe. One more round.
00:49:03Name it.
00:49:08Same rules. Ten targets. But every shot fights the wind. And this time, the loser dies.
00:49:13That wind will rip the bullet off course.
00:49:15Ethan, this isn't normal.
00:49:16Normal? Even pros miss under this. I've seen Alan pull seven on a perfect day. You can still crawl out
00:49:20alive.
00:49:21Here's your exit. Kneel. Cripple your own hands and leave her with me. A few nights. I'll be gentle.
00:49:26Say her name again and I'll kill you first. This wind is nothing. I'm up.
00:49:32Let me finish it.
00:49:35If it slips, I take over.
00:49:38You can't be right every single time.
00:49:48Nine hits.
00:49:52Well, damn. Nine hits in that wind? Yeah.
00:49:55That's Alan. There isn't a second man alive who can do that.
00:49:59James.
00:50:01Easy. I've got you.
00:50:02Look at you. Hands shaking, knees weak. And this is the guy I paid millions to make underboss?
00:50:06Face it. This was over before it started. So here's your exit.
00:50:09Kneel, say you're sorry and crawl from me. Otherwise, you don't leave this warehouse.
00:50:12Ethan, don't. I've lived long enough. Seeing you again is already a blessing. Go!
00:50:16No. I promise. We'll walk out together. Shoot. No fear. No hesitation. Hit or miss, I'm your last line.
00:50:26Copy that.
00:50:27That posture. That stillness. I've seen this before.
00:50:37Four hits!
00:50:39That's the game. Deal's a deal.
00:50:45I haven't taken my shot yet.
00:50:52I failed you, sir. Didn't even hold a draw.
00:50:55No. You stood your ground. I'll take it from here.
00:50:59Cute speech. You beat me once, coin flip. Stepping up to Alan? That's a death wish.
00:51:05Last chance. Kneel. Apologize. Break your hands. You walk away breathing.
00:51:10Keep your charity.
00:51:14I don't miss. Start it.
00:51:18Your funeral.
00:51:19Wind by drift. I've seen this once. Only once.
00:51:29That precision. There's only one man alive.
00:51:35It's you.
00:51:37If we don't move now, it's over!
00:51:47Lieutenant General. King of Guns. Ethan Hawke!
00:51:58Alan, you serious? That guy? He's trash. No way he's a Lieutenant General.
00:52:03I don't miss faces. I crossed him once on a live operation.
00:52:08He wiped the floor with me. That night, still haunts my sleep.
00:52:13Deal's off. I'm out.
00:52:15I don't care who he is! Double the money! Triple it! Just end him!
00:52:19Are you insane? Unless I've lost mine, I'm not touching that man.
00:52:23You pissed him off? You're already dead. I'm not dying with you.
00:52:26Ethan.
00:52:28Is it true?
00:52:29Are you really the Lieutenant General?
00:52:33He's right.
00:52:35Damn it. If he walks out alive, we're finished.
00:52:43Your hired gun's gone. No one left to challenge me. That means I win.
00:52:47Untie my father. Now.
00:52:50Untie him?
00:52:51I never planned to let any of you live.
00:52:53Now that I know who you are, even less reason to.
00:52:56You can't do this. He's a Lieutenant General. Touching him is a federal crime.
00:53:03Dead men don't file reports. Kill him.
00:53:08Ethan! Behind you!
00:53:24James!
00:53:28Stay with me. You hear me? You're not dying today.
00:53:31Funny thing about you, General. One phone call and I'd be finished.
00:53:35Yet here you are. All because of your father. That made you sloppy.
00:53:40See, James? That's what betrayal gets you.
00:53:42But jumping in front of a bullet for him? Good dog.
00:53:45Touch me again and I'll bury you where you stand.
00:53:47Let my father go. Get James to a hospital. Do it now.
00:53:50You still don't get it.
00:53:53If I kill you here,
00:53:55no witness quences.
00:53:57No one even asks questions.
00:54:01Ethan, help!
00:54:03Let her go. Now.
00:54:05Go ahead. Pull the trigger.
00:54:06I've got ten guns pointed at you.
00:54:08You fire, you die first.
00:54:10I'll keep her for a few days.
00:54:12Break her slow.
00:54:13Then I'll kill her.
00:54:14Just so you remember what happens when people cross me.
00:54:16Ethan, don't!
00:54:17Just run!
00:54:20I'll hold them.
00:54:21You get out.
00:54:22Jesus Christ!
00:54:23You're bleeding out and still talking enough!
00:54:25Kill them all!
00:54:27You just chose the wrong ending.
00:54:37What the hell just happened?
00:54:50So this is what a king of guns looks like?
00:54:52I didn't even see you fire!
00:54:54I didn't even blink!
00:54:56That draw speed.
00:54:57That wasn't skill.
00:54:59That was instinct.
00:55:00A man called king of guns isn't trained to win.
00:55:04He's trained to end things.
00:55:05That's why Alan ran.
00:55:07Because survival told him to.
00:55:10Your turn.
00:55:11No, wait!
00:55:11Ethan, please!
00:55:12I was wrong!
00:55:13This was all a misunderstanding!
00:55:14I'll let your father go right now!
00:55:17Just don't pull the trigger!
00:55:18General, let's be rational.
00:55:20Name your price.
00:55:21Money, territory, influence.
00:55:23I swear, your family will never hear my name again.
00:55:25You don't negotiate after you threaten my family.
00:55:28You don't beg after you hurt them.
00:55:31You cross the line.
00:55:32And once you do, there is no way back.
00:55:43General, please!
00:55:45Just give us one chance.
00:55:47One!
00:55:49You already had chances.
00:55:52You wasted every one of them.
00:56:00Sir, the chief said you were here.
00:56:02I didn't think it was real.
00:56:04It's an honor, General.
00:56:06These two.
00:56:07Kidnapping.
00:56:08Attempted murder.
00:56:10Take them in.
00:56:11Make sure they never see daylight without bars again.
00:56:14Yes, sir!
00:56:16No, wait!
00:56:17Ethan, please!
00:56:18I was wrong!
00:56:19Please!
00:56:19Ethan, I'm begging you!
00:56:21I'll do anything!
00:56:22Please don't send me to prison!
00:56:25General, listen to me.
00:56:26I have enemies in prison.
00:56:28If I go in, I won't survive.
00:56:32Please!
00:56:33I'll give you everything!
00:56:34All my money!
00:56:36All my assets!
00:56:37You want power?
00:56:38Influence?
00:56:39Say the word!
00:56:40I'll do anything!
00:56:44I'll do anything!
00:56:46That's the price you earned.
00:56:48Take them away.
00:56:50No!
00:56:50No!
00:56:51No!
00:56:51No!
00:56:54My son, you turned out better than I ever dreamed.
00:57:01I should have been here sooner.
00:57:02That's on me.
00:57:04But from now on, no one lays a finger on you.
00:57:07Ever.
00:57:08I know.
00:57:10And no matter what uniform you wear, you'll always be my boy.
00:57:16Vitals are stable.
00:57:17Both will recover.
00:57:18Please step back.
00:57:20Today could have ended very differently if you hadn't come.
00:57:25I was always coming.
00:57:34Ethan, I...
00:57:45Ethan, I love you.
00:57:47I love you too.
00:57:52Take me.
00:57:53Take me.
00:58:08Sir, can I take a look at the medal?
00:58:11Careful, don't drop it.
00:58:14So this is the Medal of Honor.
00:58:17I heard it's one of a kind in the world.
00:58:20Sir, would you ever consider selling it?
00:58:25You really want it that badly?
00:58:26Of course.
00:58:27A medal like this, its value is unimaginable.
00:58:31I'll give you five million dollars.
00:58:34How about eight?
00:58:35Eight million.
00:58:37Ten million.
00:58:39That's everything I have.
00:58:39I can't go any higher.
00:58:43Not for sale.
00:58:44It's a soldier's honor.
00:58:48I don't have your ability.
00:58:51Ethan,
00:58:53tonight is your grandfather's birthday banquet.
00:58:55The entire family will be there.
00:58:57I'd like you by my side.
00:58:59It's time they know exactly who you are.
00:59:01Then let's not keep them waiting.
00:59:03I'll arrange it.
00:59:08Tom,
00:59:08there's a banquet tonight.
00:59:10I want it formal.
00:59:11Public.
00:59:11Put it under my name.
00:59:12Lieutenant General.
00:59:13Make sure it circulates.
00:59:15Tonight,
00:59:15the family reclaims its presence.
00:59:17Understood, sir.
00:59:26Lucas,
00:59:27we heard the Lieutenant General Ethan is attending tonight.
00:59:30Is that actually true?
00:59:31Not attending.
00:59:32He requested to attend.
00:59:34When a man like that shows up at a private family banquet,
00:59:37it's never random.
00:59:38He's heard about my capital.
00:59:39He's interested in a partnership.
00:59:42If that connection solidifies,
00:59:45you'll dominate this city within a year.
00:59:47City?
00:59:48Please.
00:59:48With military capital behind you,
00:59:50that's influence that stretches far beyond business,
00:59:52politics,
00:59:53infrastructure,
00:59:54even certain less official sects.
00:59:55Gentlemen,
00:59:56let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:59:57But when the tide rises,
00:59:59it lifts every vessel near it.
01:00:02To the future, then.
01:00:04To Lucas!
01:00:14This is it.
01:00:15Yes, Dad.
01:00:16Let's go say hello.
01:00:24These two losers are bold to walk in here.
01:00:35Joel,
01:00:37you didn't think to dress for the occasion?
01:00:39This is how I dress.
01:00:40Oh,
01:00:41let me introduce.
01:00:41This is my son.
01:00:42The one I told you about.
01:00:43Ethan.
01:00:44Ethan Hawke.
01:00:46That's the general's name.
01:00:48Let's be certain.
01:00:50And what line of work are you in, Ethan?
01:00:53I'm a veteran now.
01:00:55These days,
01:00:56I help out at my father's shop.
01:00:58I see.
01:00:59For a second there,
01:01:00I thought we had someone of consequence.
01:01:02This venue hosts ministers,
01:01:03financiers,
01:01:04and people who move markets.
01:01:05It's not exactly casual foot traffic.
01:01:07It's our grandfather's birthday.
01:01:08We were invited.
01:01:10Invitation is one thing.
01:01:12Belonging is another.
01:01:13Every guest here represents stature,
01:01:16influence,
01:01:16capital.
01:01:17You two,
01:01:18walking in dressed like that,
01:01:19drag the room down.
01:01:20Security!
01:01:22Please escort them out.
01:01:24Discreetly.
01:01:25Of course,
01:01:26Mr. Hawke.
01:01:34One moment.
01:01:36Lucas,
01:01:37this is my father's birthday banquet.
01:01:39You're dismissing us over attire?
01:01:42Have we truly become strangers to you?
01:01:44Strangers?
01:01:45No.
01:01:45Strangers can still be tolerated.
01:01:48Family, however,
01:01:49reflects on one's standing.
01:01:50You two walk in looking like that,
01:01:52and I'm supposed to pretend
01:01:52we're on the same level?
01:01:53Look at his jacket.
01:01:54That's clearance rack, right?
01:01:56Lucas is wearing custom.
01:01:57One button on that suit
01:01:59costs more than their rent.
01:02:00Seriously,
01:02:01how did security even let them in?
01:02:02This is a curated guest list.
01:02:04There's a dress code for a reason.
01:02:05You must understand,
01:02:06tonight isn't merely a birthday.
01:02:08It's optics.
01:02:09We're receiving a distinguished guest.
01:02:11A lieutenant general.
01:02:12If he walks in and sees this,
01:02:14it becomes awkward for everyone.
01:02:15Let's not create discomfort.
01:02:16Get the hell out of here.
01:02:18You're speaking about my father.
01:02:19He's still your uncle.
01:02:20Yeah?
01:02:21If it weren't for my parents,
01:02:22he wouldn't even get invited.
01:02:24Let's be real.
01:02:24He's never done anything with his life.
01:02:26And you?
01:02:26You're just a retired soldier
01:02:28working in a shop.
01:02:29It's not exactly high society.
01:02:32Watch your mouth.
01:02:41You bastard!
01:02:43Do you understand
01:02:44who you just laid a hand on?
01:02:47I don't care who you are.
01:02:49Anyone who disrespects my father answers to me.
01:02:51How dare you!
01:02:53That was a mistake.
01:02:54Lucas commands influence.
01:02:57In this city,
01:02:58doors close very quickly
01:02:59for people like you.
01:03:01Then we'll see which doors stay open.
01:03:03For me,
01:03:04or for him.
01:03:06Even if you kneel right now
01:03:07and beg for mercy,
01:03:09I will never let this go.
01:03:16Lucas, calm down.
01:03:17You've misunderstood us.
01:03:19Ethan actually is-
01:03:20Enough!
01:03:21I don't want to hear any excuses.
01:03:26Let's not forget tonight
01:03:27is grandfather's birthday.
01:03:30You came empty-handed?
01:03:31No respect at all.
01:03:42Lucas, this is what we brought.
01:03:47You call this a gift?
01:03:49This is what you thought
01:03:50belonged in this room?
01:03:51I saved for months.
01:03:53It cost me $10,000.
01:04:04$10,000?
01:04:05That barely covers dinner
01:04:07at the tables here.
01:04:09Let me show you
01:04:10what an actual gift looks like.
01:04:21Gift number one.
01:04:23A Hawaii oceanfront villa.
01:04:25$3,000,000.
01:04:28Gift number two.
01:04:31A latest model Italian sports car.
01:04:35$5,000,000.
01:04:38I doubt you'll ever see
01:04:39that number on a paycheck.
01:04:42And finally,
01:04:46an Asimov luxury yacht.
01:04:49$8,000,000.
01:04:50Oh!
01:04:55None of that impresses me.
01:04:57Of course it doesn't.
01:04:58You wouldn't understand
01:04:59the scale.
01:05:00You show up with pocket change
01:05:02and call it a gift?
01:05:03That's not humility.
01:05:05Now take your pride
01:05:06and get out!
01:05:12Lucas, just listen to me.
01:05:14There's nothing.
01:05:16There's nothing to explain.
01:05:18People like you
01:05:19don't belong
01:05:20at a family banquet like this.
01:05:30Touch him again
01:05:31and we're done talking.
01:05:38What is this piece of junk?
01:05:39It's my medal.
01:05:40Put it down now.
01:05:44You care that much
01:05:45about this scrap of metal?
01:05:46That medal was earned
01:05:47on the battlefield.
01:05:48I trade my life for it.
01:05:50It's my honor.
01:05:53Never seen a piece of shit
01:05:54like this.
01:05:55Looks worthless to me.
01:05:56You call this honor?
01:05:57I'd say it's no better
01:05:58than trash.
01:06:11You just made
01:06:12your last mistake.
01:06:26Only people with nothing
01:06:27treat a scrap of metal
01:06:28like a treasure.
01:06:29This scrap of metal
01:06:30was awarded by the president.
01:06:31I earned it on the battlefield.
01:06:33Men died beside me for it.
01:06:35How dare you?
01:06:36A foot soldier
01:06:36awarded a medal
01:06:37by the president?
01:06:38That's the most pathetic
01:06:39lie I've ever heard.
01:06:40Honestly, I'm embarrassed for you.
01:06:41Lucas, it's true.
01:06:42I saw it with my own eyes.
01:06:43Someone offered
01:06:4410 million to buy
01:06:45Ethan's medal.
01:06:4610 million?
01:06:47Then why didn't he sell it?
01:06:48I'll tell you why.
01:06:49Because no one pays
01:06:5010 million for junk metal.
01:06:53You and this thing?
01:06:54Neither of you belong here.
01:06:57Don't!
01:07:01Security.
01:07:02Take them to the back alley
01:07:03handling it.
01:07:05That's enough.
01:07:20Joel, you came.
01:07:25And this young man is?
01:07:27Dad, this is my son.
01:07:29The one I lost years ago.
01:07:31I finally found him.
01:07:33My boy.
01:07:35You've carried more than you should
01:07:37have at your age.
01:07:38Welcome home.
01:07:41Now explain to me
01:07:43why I just heard security
01:07:44was about to remove
01:07:45my own family.
01:07:47Grandfather,
01:07:48it's not what it looks like.
01:07:49He caused a scene.
01:07:50Tonight,
01:07:51the lieutenant general
01:07:51is attending.
01:07:52And they brought
01:07:53a $10,000 cigar box
01:07:55as a gift.
01:07:56Then claimed this!
01:07:58This piece of shit
01:07:59is worth 10 million!
01:08:01What kind of item
01:08:03could possibly be worth
01:08:04that much?
01:08:05This thing, Grandpa.
01:08:06This thing, Grandpa.
01:08:12This is a presidential
01:08:14honor medal!
01:08:15No!
01:08:17No!
01:08:22Grandpa,
01:08:23you actually recognize
01:08:24that scrap of metal?
01:08:25You dare call this
01:08:26scrap metal?!
01:08:27This is the highest
01:08:28military honor
01:08:29a soldier can receive,
01:08:30awarded personally
01:08:31by the president.
01:08:32I served for many years.
01:08:33I would never mistake it!
01:08:34They said it was worth
01:08:35tens of millions.
01:08:36That's not true, right?
01:08:38It's not about the money.
01:08:39This medal is unique.
01:08:41It's reserved for
01:08:41a king of guns,
01:08:42the best of the best.
01:08:44Tell me, son.
01:08:47How did you earn this?
01:08:48The president placed
01:08:49it on me himself.
01:08:53What did you say
01:08:54your name was?
01:08:56Ethan Hawke.
01:08:58Ethan Hawke?
01:08:59Ethan Hawke?
01:09:00You're that lieutenant general,
01:09:02the king of guns
01:09:03of our generation.
01:09:04Our family produced
01:09:06a legend.
01:09:07This is our honor.
01:09:09No,
01:09:10that's impossible!
01:09:13You,
01:09:14a king of guns?
01:09:16You're nothing
01:09:17but a useless nobody!
01:09:19Who the hell
01:09:20are you, really?
01:09:22I'm the lieutenant general
01:09:23you invited tonight.
01:09:31No,
01:09:33this can't be real.
01:09:34The lieutenant general
01:09:35I invited,
01:09:36he can't be the cousin
01:09:37I've been looking down on.
01:09:38You've given me
01:09:39more pride tonight
01:09:40than I expected
01:09:40in a lifetime.
01:09:42You're a good man.
01:09:44Joel,
01:09:45you raised
01:09:45an extraordinary son.
01:09:47If you really are
01:09:48a lieutenant general,
01:09:49why lie when I asked you earlier?
01:09:50Why say you were just
01:09:51a retired soldier
01:09:52working in a shop?
01:09:52Because I wanted to see
01:09:53who you were
01:09:54without the title.
01:09:55And frankly,
01:09:56with your standing,
01:09:57you wouldn't have had
01:09:58the authority
01:09:58to invite me anyway.
01:10:00I came because
01:10:00we share blood.
01:10:01Nothing more.
01:10:03You're still lying!
01:10:05Lucas,
01:10:06what are you saying?
01:10:07I've examined the medal myself.
01:10:08It's authentic.
01:10:09The medal may be real,
01:10:12but that doesn't mean
01:10:13it's yours.
01:10:15You must have
01:10:16tracked the general's schedule,
01:10:17got your hands on it somehow.
01:10:19You brought it here
01:10:19to play hero,
01:10:20to impress people.
01:10:21You have any idea
01:10:22what that kind of stunt
01:10:23does to this family?
01:10:24If he really stole
01:10:25the lieutenant general's medal,
01:10:26he'd spend the rest
01:10:27of his life in prison.
01:10:28You're certain it's stolen?
01:10:30Absolutely,
01:10:31because someone like you
01:10:32doesn't become
01:10:32a lieutenant general.
01:10:34Detain him.
01:10:35Break his legs.
01:10:36I'll personally deliver him
01:10:37to General Hawke's
01:10:37deputy Tom.
01:10:48Tom wouldn't dare
01:10:49accept an apology
01:10:50from me.
01:10:52When he gets here,
01:10:54you'll realize
01:10:55just how reckless
01:10:55you're being.
01:10:56Tom,
01:10:59the deputy
01:11:00to a lieutenant general?
01:11:02Meeting him once
01:11:04would be the highlight
01:11:05of your entire life.
01:11:07And you're standing here
01:11:08talking like he works
01:11:09for you?
01:11:10What the fuck
01:11:11is on your head?
01:11:12Wake him up!
01:11:16Lucas,
01:11:17call them off now,
01:11:20and I'll pretend
01:11:21this never happened.
01:11:24You're threatening me?
01:11:26You think a nobody
01:11:27like you can touch me?
01:11:30I think all you
01:11:30don't want to arrest.
01:11:32It's another one.
01:11:34Sir?
01:11:35Break his legs.
01:11:41Don't hurt my son.
01:11:43What are you waiting for?
01:11:44Do it!
01:11:45Now!
01:11:46I don't care
01:11:47if he's my uncle.
01:11:49If he wants to stand
01:11:50in the way,
01:11:51take him down, too.
01:12:03anyone who dares
01:12:04touch my father
01:12:05ends up just like them.
01:12:11What do you think
01:12:11you're doing?
01:12:12I'm warning you,
01:12:13touch me,
01:12:14and you'll regret it
01:12:15for the rest of your life.
01:12:16I don't care who you are.
01:12:17I don't care
01:12:18what you threaten.
01:12:20But the moment
01:12:21you let people
01:12:22lay hands on my father,
01:12:23you cross the line
01:12:24that doesn't get erased.
01:12:36People like you
01:12:37don't deserve
01:12:38the word family.
01:12:40Bringing my father here
01:12:42was my mistake.
01:12:48You think wearing a uniform
01:12:49for a few years
01:12:50makes you untouchable?
01:12:52The lieutenant general's
01:12:53aid is on his way.
01:12:54Once he finds out
01:12:55you trashed this banquet,
01:12:56he'll crush you
01:12:57like nothing.
01:12:58Then let him come.
01:13:01Because I promise you
01:13:02when tonight ends,
01:13:03you'll be the one
01:13:04begging to rewind time.
01:13:05He stole a lieutenant
01:13:06general's medal
01:13:07and is still standing here.
01:13:09What the fuck
01:13:10is on his head?
01:13:12I almost feel bad
01:13:13for him.
01:13:14Almost.
01:13:23The general's aid
01:13:24is here.
01:13:25You're done.
01:13:26Mr. Stewart,
01:13:27thank God you're here.
01:13:28There's a man here
01:13:28impersonating the lieutenant general
01:13:30and he stole the general's
01:13:31honor medal.
01:13:32What?
01:13:34Who's bold enough
01:13:35to pull something like that?
01:13:36What?
01:13:45Who here is claiming
01:13:46to be a lieutenant general?
01:13:48Step forward, now.
01:13:55That's him.
01:13:56The one causing trouble
01:13:57all night.
01:13:59Let me see
01:14:00who's got the nerve.
01:14:08Mr. Hawke,
01:14:09why are you here?
01:14:11I came with my son.
01:14:12Apparently that was enough
01:14:13for them to accuse him
01:14:14of impersonation.
01:14:15You see?
01:14:16That look,
01:14:17it's anger.
01:14:19You really picked
01:14:20the wrong place to lie.
01:14:23Enjoy the last few minutes
01:14:25of freedom you've got.
01:14:29Tom, tell me something.
01:14:31Are you actually considering
01:14:33putting me in prison?
01:14:36Hey!
01:14:37You don't address him by name!
01:14:39Neil!
01:14:40Apologize!
01:14:41Now!
01:14:50How dare you!
01:14:55Why did you hit me?
01:14:56I'm handling this for you.
01:14:57Oh, I see.
01:14:59Don't worry, sir.
01:15:00Blood or family?
01:15:00I won't protect him
01:15:01before you arrive.
01:15:02I was about to break
01:15:02his legs myself
01:15:03and apologize
01:15:04to the general properly.
01:15:05You were about to do what?
01:15:06That pause.
01:15:08He's impressed.
01:15:09Good.
01:15:11Very good.
01:15:12Security!
01:15:13Bring more men!
01:15:14Hold him down!
01:15:14I'll make an example
01:15:15of him right here!
01:15:18Tom,
01:15:19in your opinion,
01:15:21how should this end?
01:15:23You still don't know
01:15:24your place?
01:15:25Calling him by name?
01:15:26You really want to die tonight?
01:15:28Break his legs!
01:15:30Now!
01:15:32Enough.
01:15:35You've crossed a line
01:15:36you don't even understand.
01:15:40What are you talking about?
01:15:41He's nobody,
01:15:42just a soldier.
01:15:45My apologies, sir.
01:15:46I arrived late
01:15:47and allow you
01:15:48to be disrespected.
01:15:49That will not happen again.
01:15:50You're saying
01:15:51he's actually
01:15:52the lieutenant general?
01:15:59He's really
01:15:59the lieutenant general?
01:16:00Do you honestly think
01:16:01I'd joke about
01:16:02something like that?
01:16:03Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:16:05I ordered people
01:16:05to cripple him.
01:16:06I'm finished.
01:16:07There's no coming
01:16:07back from this.
01:16:08Ethan, no, sir.
01:16:09Everything tonight
01:16:09has been a misunderstanding.
01:16:10Please, let me explain.
01:16:12Then start by explaining this.
01:16:14The muddy footprint
01:16:15stamped across the metal
01:16:15is impossible to ignore.
01:16:17I swear I didn't know
01:16:18who you were.
01:16:18I thought someone
01:16:19was impersonating you.
01:16:20I believed I was
01:16:21protecting your name,
01:16:22your honor.
01:16:24Is that what you call it?
01:16:25When we arrived,
01:16:26you called my father
01:16:26a nobody?
01:16:27You had security
01:16:27throw us out?
01:16:29You humiliated him?
01:16:30You crushed his gift
01:16:30under your shoe?
01:16:31I watched all of it.
01:16:32So tell me,
01:16:32which part of that
01:16:33was meant to protect my honor?
01:16:34Uncle,
01:16:35I made a mistake.
01:16:36No matter what I said,
01:16:37we're still family.
01:16:38We always have been.
01:16:38Lucas,
01:16:39Ethan came
01:16:40because he believed
01:16:40this was a family gathering.
01:16:42We never expected cruelty.
01:16:43I'm ashamed
01:16:43of what you showed us tonight.
01:16:44Sir,
01:16:45if you wish,
01:16:46I can notify
01:16:47the authorities immediately.
01:16:48Devicing a presidential
01:16:49honor medal alone
01:16:50is enough
01:16:51to warrant federal charges.
01:16:52No.
01:16:53Please,
01:16:54not prison.
01:17:07Ethan,
01:17:07please,
01:17:09I was wrong.
01:17:10Truly wrong.
01:17:12Spare me just this once.
01:17:13If I hadn't been standing here tonight,
01:17:15my father would have been forced
01:17:16to endure your humiliation
01:17:17in silence.
01:17:18And if I weren't who I am,
01:17:20you wouldn't be apologizing right now.
01:17:22Your regret didn't repent
01:17:23because you understood.
01:17:24You repented
01:17:25because you're afraid.
01:17:26So no,
01:17:27this apology came too late.
01:17:36Uncle,
01:17:37please,
01:17:38help me talk to Ethan.
01:17:40No matter what,
01:17:41we're still family,
01:17:43aren't we?
01:17:47Family?
01:17:49When you mocked us
01:17:50for being poor,
01:17:52when you called us trash
01:17:53who didn't belong
01:17:54in this room,
01:17:55did we look like family
01:17:57to you then?
01:17:58Lucas,
01:17:59I warned you long ago,
01:18:01never measure a man's worth
01:18:02by his appearance,
01:18:03but you didn't just ignore
01:18:04my words.
01:18:06You turned your cruelty
01:18:07on your own blood.
01:18:09What's happening now
01:18:10isn't cruelty,
01:18:11it's consequence.
01:18:13Tom,
01:18:15contact the police.
01:18:17Publicly defacing
01:18:18a presidential honor medal,
01:18:20let the law decide his fate.
01:18:25Wait, please!
01:18:26I'll give you everything,
01:18:27my assets,
01:18:28my companies,
01:18:29everything I own.
01:18:29I admire you,
01:18:30I swear I do.
01:18:31Just don't ruin me, please!
01:18:36General.
01:18:39Take him away.
01:18:54I'm sorry, Dad.
01:18:56I wanted tonight
01:18:57to be a family gathering,
01:18:59not this.
01:19:01This was never your fault,
01:19:03Ethan.
01:19:04Book the finest hotel
01:19:05in the city.
01:19:06We're hosting
01:19:07our own family dinner.
01:19:08done with dignity.
01:19:10Dad,
01:19:12grandfather,
