00:00:03Boss, the feds just called it off. They won't give up the security key, even to save the governor.
00:00:08Fuck!
00:00:14Start filming.
00:00:17Let the whole world watcher get blown to bits.
00:00:22No! Stop! Let me go!
00:00:49The bomb's about to blow!
00:00:50You're okay. Keep still. Breathe slow and steady now.
00:01:02Shit! Backup timer!
00:01:09Shit! Backup timer!
00:01:19Alex. Your extraordinary acts of courage have made our country proud.
00:01:22If anyone deserves this Medal of Viola, it's you. A true American hero.
00:01:36Thank you, Alex.
00:01:39Without you, I wouldn't be here today.
00:01:43Just doing my job, Governor.
00:01:45Don't be so humble, soldier. Remember, this medal also comes with a payout worth million.
00:01:51Sir, I'd like to request leave. In the past seven years, I've barely seen my wife.
00:01:54This year, I'd like to spend Christmas with her.
00:01:56Of course. Happy holidays, Alex.
00:01:58Merry Christmas, Secretary Miller.
00:02:08Chloe, honey, I'm home.
00:02:13Oh, Brandon.
00:02:15Oh, Brandon.
00:02:19Oh, Brandon.
00:02:22Alex! When did you get home?
00:02:25Chloe.
00:02:26Get out! You can't just barge in without knocking!
00:02:35Hey!
00:02:35Brandon.
00:02:37Isn't that the high school bully who rejected you?
00:02:41Um, hey, Brandon.
00:02:45I made this, this cupcake for you.
00:02:52Look, even cheerleaders won't stop throwing themselves at me.
00:02:55But, sorry, Chloe.
00:02:57I wouldn't be caught dead with a loser like you.
00:03:01We've been married for seven years.
00:03:04But you still love him?
00:03:07Not me?
00:03:20A condom?
00:03:22So that's it, huh?
00:03:23How long have you been cheating on me, Chloe?
00:03:28Chloe, I joined the military for you.
00:03:32I kept my identity a secret.
00:03:35Told you I was a long-haul trucker so you wouldn't worry.
00:03:38Seven years later, and I've earned the Medal of Valier.
00:03:42I came home early to surprise you.
00:03:44With the money I got from the medal,
00:03:47I can finally give you the life you always want.
00:03:50Maybe it's not money you want.
00:03:52Maybe it's freedom.
00:04:05Don't just sit there.
00:04:06Go make my breakfast already.
00:04:10Hello?
00:04:12Earth to Alex?
00:04:13God, can't you do anything right?
00:04:15You're hardly ever home, and when you are, you can't even make me breakfast?
00:04:20Chloe, we need to talk.
00:04:21Spit it out.
00:04:24You and Brandon.
00:04:32Hey, Brandon.
00:04:34Yeah, that party was crazy.
00:04:36The way you were grinding?
00:04:37Mmm, I can't wait till next time.
00:04:39Answering his call and flirting right in front of me?
00:04:41No.
00:04:42No, this ends.
00:04:43Not now.
00:04:45Can't you see I'm busy here?
00:04:47Chloe, we need to talk.
00:04:49Husband to wife!
00:04:50Oh, please, Alex.
00:04:53What could we possibly have to talk about?
00:04:55You're never home.
00:04:56Always out on those stupid halls, and you've got nothing to show for it.
00:05:00You should learn from Brandon.
00:05:01He's got money, power, and connections.
00:05:04But you?
00:05:05You'll only hold me back.
00:05:08Hold you back?
00:05:09You think Brandon's all that?
00:05:11No.
00:05:13I just won the medal.
00:05:14Shut up and talk to Brandon here!
00:05:16Sorry, what was that?
00:05:16Oh, Alex?
00:05:17Don't mind him.
00:05:18He's no better than the help.
00:05:23We're serving him the divorce papers tonight, right?
00:05:27Soon, I'll be completely yours.
00:05:38Alex, the President is rolling out Operation Ghost.
00:05:41We're training elite soldiers to end terrorism once and for all.
00:05:46You're our best green break.
00:05:48He wants you as chief instructor.
00:05:51You in?
00:05:52President asked for me?
00:05:53This is the moment I've been dreaming of.
00:05:56I'm in.
00:05:56Good, but be advised deployment could be imminent.
00:05:59No outside contact.
00:06:00You'll report for duty right after Christmas.
00:06:02Will that be a problem?
00:06:03If you'd asked me yesterday, I would have refused.
00:06:05But now?
00:06:07No, sir.
00:06:08Not a problem.
00:06:09Great.
00:06:09I'll see you there.
00:06:11It's a Christmas gift from Brandon.
00:06:14What's that?
00:06:16Oh my God!
00:06:17He did not!
00:06:19Brandon actually bought me the necklace!
00:06:22Brandon?
00:06:23Again?
00:06:34Help me take a pic.
00:06:36This is so going on my story.
00:06:38Everyone's gonna be so jealous.
00:06:41I sent her every cent I made in the military, hoping she'd be happy.
00:06:44But I guess it wasn't enough.
00:06:47Con, I don't have all day.
00:06:49I know exactly what you're thinking.
00:06:51You're jealous.
00:06:52Because you'll never be able to afford things like this.
00:06:56I don't want your broke stench all over my stuff.
00:07:01Where's the metal I put on the cabinet earlier?
00:07:05Huh?
00:07:06Oh.
00:07:07That old piece of junk?
00:07:09I tossed it out with the trash.
00:07:12You threw it out?!
00:07:13Do you have any idea what that cost me?!
00:07:16Yeah, yeah, whatever.
00:07:17I just got a text.
00:07:17The high school reunion's tonight at Mayfield Hotel.
00:07:19We need to go now or we'll be late.
00:07:21Chloe.
00:07:21Chloe.
00:07:22We need to talk about our marriage.
00:07:24If you don't want to fix us, then this is our last Christmas together.
00:07:27And tomorrow I'm-
00:07:27Whining already.
00:07:28I'm gonna be late.
00:07:29Mayfield's the bougiest spot in town and I need to be seen there.
00:07:32All you do is drive all day anyway, so at least give me a ride.
00:07:35Chloe, I tried my best to talk to you to work this out.
00:07:38You just won't listen.
00:07:40After tonight, we won't owe each other anything.
00:07:42We'll never see each other again.
00:07:51Oh my god, I think my eyes are burning.
00:07:52Is that redneck disaster pickup pulling up to the Mayfield Hotel?
00:07:55Wait, is that Alex and Chloe?
00:07:57I don't get it.
00:07:58Chloe was the hottest chick in school.
00:07:59How'd she end up with a nobody like Alex?
00:08:01Yeah, I heard Alex was working as a broke trucker.
00:08:02Couldn't hold down a real job.
00:08:03Just look at that clamper.
00:08:04Where'd he get it?
00:08:05The junkyard?
00:08:11Let me get off first.
00:08:13Go park in the back where nobody can see you.
00:08:16But there's a spot right there.
00:08:18God!
00:08:18Are you blind or just stupid?
00:08:20Did you not hear what they just said about this piece of junk?
00:08:22Just get it out of sight.
00:08:23Wait, you're embarrassing enough.
00:08:27Oh my gah!
00:08:28Guys!
00:08:32It's literally been forever!
00:08:50Well, well.
00:08:52Look who finally decided to show up.
00:08:54Alex, my man.
00:08:55How long has it been?
00:08:56Almost forgot you existed.
00:08:58Oh, sorry about that.
00:09:00Here, there was nowhere else to put our stuff and the seat was empty.
00:09:04Hope you don't mind.
00:09:09Alex, it's been too long, man.
00:09:12But you're still as humble as ever.
00:09:15Hey, he's just a trucker.
00:09:16And today, he's just Chloe's driver.
00:09:19Who cares if he's more casual?
00:09:22Don't be so harsh.
00:09:24I'm sure truckers make a decent living.
00:09:26Alex, if you're ever interested in a more respectable job,
00:09:28feel free to contact my secretary.
00:09:30I'd even let you park my Ferrari.
00:09:33So y'all think I'm just some broke pushover with no dignity?
00:09:36Someone you can walk all over?
00:09:38Thanks, Tyler, but I'm perfectly content.
00:09:40But speaking of Chloe, where is she?
00:09:42Come on, Alex.
00:09:43You know Chloe's Miss Popular.
00:09:45She's busy working the room,
00:09:46unlike some lonies who can't even afford a decent brand.
00:09:53What's this?
00:09:54Sign.
00:10:05Alex, your wife loves me.
00:10:07Sign the divorce papers and I'll compensate you.
00:10:12I see.
00:10:13So Chloe's been hooking up with Brandon
00:10:14and waiting to divorce me this whole time.
00:10:17How long has this been going on?
00:10:18What are you implying?
00:10:19What we have is true, pure love.
00:10:21Chloe, you cheated on me.
00:10:23Well, if Brandon hadn't left town back then,
00:10:26I never would have married you in the first place.
00:10:28Wow, hear that, Alex?
00:10:30You were just the spare tire.
00:10:32Let's face it, Alex.
00:10:33You only scored because Brandon wasn't around.
00:10:34Now that he's back, start worrying about your place.
00:10:42Brandon, this has nothing to do with money.
00:10:45It's about the principle.
00:10:47Oh, stop acting all high in me.
00:10:51You just want more cash, don't you?
00:10:56Well, name your price.
00:10:57What is this?
00:11:03Called it, didn't I?
00:11:05A broke, worthless piece of shit like Alex
00:11:08can't even hold down his own woman.
00:11:10No wonder his wife's running off with another man.
00:11:17Exactly.
00:11:18But look at him, dressed like some blue-collar Brent.
00:11:22He's not on our level.
00:11:25So I'm just one big joke to them.
00:11:28A clown who's easy to fuck with.
00:11:30Whoa, did I say you could leave?
00:11:31You've got two options.
00:11:32Take the money and divorce Chloe or I'd beat the shit out of you.
00:11:37What, is that a threat?
00:11:39Don't forget, assaulting a soldier is a felony.
00:11:43That scares me.
00:11:44My dad is the Attorney General of California.
00:11:46One word for me and you disappear.
00:11:49Oh, Brandon, you're so dependable.
00:11:52Unlike some useless jerks who are all talk.
00:11:57Chloe, you have no idea what kind of man you just lost.
00:12:01Sure, I'll sign the divorce paper.
00:12:05But let me make a call first.
00:12:07Alex, we've been married for years.
00:12:09I know you.
00:12:10Best person you can call to get you out of this mess is one of your trucker buddies.
00:12:14Just stop bluffing, Alex.
00:12:16No one can save you, not even God himself.
00:12:24Alex, aren't you on leave?
00:12:25Yeah, but someone's threatened to buy my wife off me.
00:12:27Where are you?
00:12:29The Mayfield Hotel.
00:12:30Hey, whoever this is, just letting you know,
00:12:31I'm taking Alex's wife and I'm going to beat the fucking daylights out of my...
00:12:35My dad's the Attorney General, which means I can do whatever the hell I want.
00:12:38So mind your fucking business or I'll fuck you up too!
00:12:47To the Mayfield Hotel.
00:12:48Move out.
00:12:49Now.
00:12:52That's it?
00:12:52That's your final stand?
00:12:54A dumb call with a cracked phone?
00:12:56God, you're pathetic.
00:12:57Choosing Brandon was the best decision of my life.
00:12:59You don't even come close.
00:13:00I'm not minding the last care of a scrub like you disappeared off the face of the earth.
00:13:04Let's be honest, Alex.
00:13:05Do you really think you're above anyone here?
00:13:07You guys have no idea who I am.
00:13:09Enough!
00:13:09Stop fucking around and sign already!
00:13:12And get the hell out!
00:13:14She's all yours.
00:13:17Hold it!
00:13:18Get on your knees, pick it up, and hand it to me.
00:13:21Nicely.
00:13:22And if I don't?
00:13:23I fuck run this state.
00:13:25If I tell you to pick it up, then you pick it fuck up!
00:13:30Or you won't live to see the sunrise, bitch.
00:13:33Bitch!
00:13:40You fucking dodged?
00:13:42See this?
00:13:43They answer to me.
00:13:44You're headed for a prison cell.
00:13:52What the hell are you doing, Alex?
00:13:54That seat is reserved for Brandon.
00:13:56Do you even know who gets to sit in that seat?
00:13:57Only the rich and powerful.
00:13:58Not degenerates like you.
00:14:01Man, I feel bad for your dad, raised a spoiled brat who throws his weight around.
00:14:05Get the fuck off my seat now!
00:14:07Then get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, or I'll cripple you!
00:14:10Alex, you can't just insult Brandon's dad.
00:14:13He's the attorney, this general.
00:14:15If he hears this, you're dead.
00:14:16Last warning.
00:14:18Get out of my face.
00:14:19Grab him!
00:14:24There's only two kinds of people in the world.
00:14:26Those who make the rules, and those who break them.
00:14:28I could kill you and get away with it.
00:14:29You messed with the wrong fucking guy.
00:14:31No, Brandon.
00:14:32You messed with the wrong guy.
00:14:33If you don't release me on the count of three, you and your attorney general daddy are screwed.
00:14:39Three, two, one.
00:14:41I gave you a chance!
00:14:50Governor Winslow, what are you doing here?
00:14:57Hands off!
00:14:58He's an American hero!
00:15:08Sorry, I'm late, sir.
00:15:13Did I see that right?
00:15:15Did the governor of California just salute Alex?
00:15:18No way!
00:15:20He's always been a nobody.
00:15:22How would Alex know the governor?
00:15:29What happened?
00:15:31You can ask them.
00:15:35Do you have any idea who he is?
00:15:37Governor Winslow, this must be a mistake.
00:15:40Alex is just some trashy trucker.
00:15:43I was trying to have him removed from our high school reunion.
00:15:47I've done nothing wrong.
00:15:49Shut up!
00:15:50Alex is an American hero.
00:15:52Recognized by the president himself!
00:15:55How dare you insult him!
00:15:57What did you say?
00:16:06Who told you to cuff him?
00:16:09This is an unlaw arrest.
00:16:11You're all suspended without pay for a month.
00:16:15Now get out!
00:16:20Nobody's leaving until we get to the bottom of this.
00:16:23Yes, ma'am!
00:16:31This can't be right.
00:16:33Alex Vega is a complete and total fraud.
00:16:37There is no way he is an American hero.
00:16:43There's a lot you don't know, Brandon.
00:16:45Don't think you run the world just because your daddy's got some power.
00:16:50Now it's time to pay.
00:16:52Oh, quit the BS, Alex.
00:16:54You, of all people, can't send me to jail?
00:16:57My father is the attorney general!
00:17:00Yeah, yeah, we know.
00:17:05I'm calling him right now!
00:17:09You're headed straight for prison!
00:17:11No wonder you sounded so confident on the phone.
00:17:14Brandon, even if your dad shows up, nothing changes.
00:17:19Don't worry, Governor.
00:17:20Let him.
00:17:21Hello?
00:17:23Dad?
00:17:26Yeah, we've got a problem here.
00:17:28I could have fixed this with an apology.
00:17:30But no, you just had to go crying to Daddy.
00:17:34You always did have a thing for authority figures, didn't you?
00:17:37Brandon, you haven't changed at all.
00:17:39Still the same immature prick.
00:17:43Perfect.
00:17:45My dad's on his way.
00:17:48Let's see who really ends up behind bars.
00:17:51None need, Brandon.
00:17:53You and your dad are definitely getting locked up.
00:18:01No need, Brandon.
00:18:02You and your dad are definitely getting locked up.
00:18:05Better start praying the judge goes easy.
00:18:11Richard, didn't expect to see you here.
00:18:13Governor Winslow, what's going on?
00:18:15Unfortunately, as of now, you and your son are facing multiple criminal charges.
00:18:19Brandon, what did you do?
00:18:24It's his fault!
00:18:26He's pretending to be some American hero and threatened us!
00:18:30You idiot!
00:18:31How could you go after Alex Vega?
00:18:37What?
00:18:39But he's just a nobody.
00:18:41Alex is a Green Beret!
00:18:42Special Forces!
00:18:43He was awarded with the highest Medal of Valor, recognized by the President!
00:18:49Every politician knows who he is!
00:18:50One word from him, and we're screwed!
00:18:52Why the hell do you think Governor Winslow was backing him?
00:18:55Alex is a decorated soldier?
00:18:56Why didn't he mention it earlier?
00:18:57Shit, we're screwed!
00:18:58We even insulted him along with Brandon!
00:19:05I warned you, Brandon.
00:19:08If you didn't uncuff me, you, those officers, and your dad would all be screwed.
00:19:15Now, your father must resign.
00:19:20Immediately.
00:19:25No!
00:19:26We'll lose everything!
00:19:28Brandon!
00:19:29Blanda!
00:19:30Having you was the worst mistake of my life!
00:19:33I'm sorry, Alex.
00:19:35I was a fucking idiot!
00:19:38But please, have mercy.
00:19:40Just let us go this once.
00:19:43Please, Alex!
00:19:45I know I was wrong, but I'll make it right, I swear!
00:19:48No.
00:19:49You're not sorry.
00:19:50You just don't want to go to jail.
00:19:52Mr. Vega, please have mercy on us!
00:19:54Brandon, he's not ready.
00:19:57It was my mistake, and I promise I'll fix him!
00:20:00You were high school classmates, weren't you?
00:20:02Please, just give us one last chance.
00:20:06Alex, it's your call.
00:20:09Threats of violence, unlawful arrests, punishment must be served.
00:20:14Take him away.
00:20:17No!
00:20:19Alex, you bastard!
00:20:21This is all your fault!
00:20:22Release me!
00:20:23Don't do this!
00:20:24No!
00:20:24No!
00:20:25No!

00:31:15bitch

00:31:32alex
00:31:34run
00:31:34run
00:31:35it's a dud
00:31:37you think a little prank like this is going to scare me off my
00:31:41that aside
00:31:44this is a serious violation of military discipline
00:31:47you're looking at a court-martial
00:31:51i can't believe he saw right through mike's test
00:31:54stop acting your hot
00:31:55shit you just have quick reflexes
00:32:00i don't know where the hell you came from but i've been running this place for years
00:32:05think you've got balls of steel then let's settle this man to man
00:32:09and what do you propose
00:32:10sniping contest
00:32:12if you win i pack my shit and walk but if i win you get on your knees and lick
00:32:17my muddy boots clean
00:32:19then you get the hell off my territory
00:32:21mike that's ridiculous you hold the national sniping record you're getting punished either
00:32:27way so why push it
00:32:30you know what falcon
00:32:31if this were a regular base i wouldn't bother even looking for the best sniper
00:32:34but since you're the top gun in operation ghost i'll play along
00:32:40alex don't be reckless
00:32:42i know you're really skilled but falcon knows this place inside out
00:32:47he could shoot a perfect score in his sleep
00:32:50don't worry selena
00:32:52but it's a white corner
00:32:54challenging falcon the best sniper in america
00:32:58can't wait to see him on his knees licking mike's boots squeaky clean
00:33:01that's right
00:33:03let's finish this like real men
00:33:06back in afghanistan i could snipe a moving target from miles away
00:33:10shooting a still target in a decked out range like this

00:33:59dude came in empty-handed
00:34:02what's he up to you didn't even bring a gun and you call yourself chief instructor
00:34:06is he trying to build a gun out of that garbage
00:34:16alex piece of advice

00:34:44start
00:35:0115 seconds
00:35:0315 seconds

00:35:13admit defeat now and i won't punish you
00:35:26going in blind

00:35:36face the facts dumbass
00:35:39i'm ready
00:35:49you've done
00:35:52well jimmy how long
00:35:55alex is more impressive than i thought
00:35:59it's impossible how do you assemble a sniper rifle from those scraps
00:36:02and blindfolded too and mike still took 15 seconds
00:36:09this doesn't make any sense he must have cheated
00:36:12need another demo i can do this all day
00:36:16bullshit don't let him fool you
00:36:18he just slapped together a bunch of unstable scraps
00:36:21it'll explode the second it fires
00:36:27this ain't a gun
00:36:28it's a death trap
00:36:31this ain't a gun
00:36:33it's a ticking time bomb mike's right it's gonna blow your face to smitha greens
00:36:40look at this busted ass gun
00:36:42no calibration no rifing not even a scope
00:36:46how are you gonna hit anything with that
00:36:48a death trap
00:36:50well we'll only find out once i pull the trigger
00:36:53now come on aren't we supposed to be having a shooting competition
00:36:57if you're that desperate to lick my boots i'll grant your wish
00:37:00range is that way we've got two target dummies over up in those mountains
00:37:04even from the shooting range
00:37:06most soldier miss
00:37:09they call me falcon because i can hit both targets from here
00:37:15target's about 1700 yards out at this range the bullet for two seconds slight shift in wind and
00:37:20it's off by yards it's an impossible shot that's right it's impossible for the average soldier
00:37:25but for me
00:37:27just to warm up i want to go up against him a little bunny versus a falcon we all know
00:37:31how that
00:37:31this is crazy alex 17 hot class yard and he's using top class gear right we're soldiers in combat
00:37:36fairness doesn't exist fall behind and you're dead
00:37:41alex this is insane he's competing with his best skill it's clearly a trap
00:37:52what's wrong chief scared you'll miss you're gonna piss yourself like a little baby
00:37:58better not cry when you lose later or you'll just look more pathetic
00:38:04that target's your best score
00:38:08what's your point wuss my point is that distance doesn't meet operation go standards
00:38:15if you can't land a headshot every time you're not a real sniper
00:38:25enough with the tough guy act at this range you can't even see what you're shooting at but headshots
00:38:34you think this is a movie that you're some kind of hero if i'm not a real sniper then nobody
