miserably
in that department.
Hold it right there.
-Senior?
-Yeah, come in.
Their disenrollment records.
BEN: Bar fight?
-All right, bring them in.
-Senior.
Square it.
It's all my fault, Senior Chief.
Hodge had nothing to do with it.
-That true, Hodge?
-It's true.
All right. Fine, you're dismissed.
-Senior Chief, I was...
-I said that you are dismissed.
Let's go.
You're gonna kick me out
for defending the Coast Guard?
The Coast Guard's been around
for 200 years.
I doubt a couple of knuckleheads
like yourself are gonna defend it.
Sit down.
I've been trying to peel the layers
back on you for a while now, and I...
I just don't get it.
I mean, this kind of work
seems a little remedial
for someone like yourself.
You know, big swim champ,
offer to every lvy League.
You give it all up to be here with us.
-Why?
-I'm here to save lives, Senior Chief.
I spoke with your coach, Jake.
-You spoke with my coach?
-Yeah, I spoke with your coach.
Something in your file
just kept hanging me up.
You win the state championship
your freshman and sophomore year
and then you don't swim the next two.
I'm just a public school guy,
so pardon me,
but it didn't add up until now.
"Kirk Holloway,
100-meter medley winner,
"thrown through the passenger window.
"Pronounced dead at the scene.
"Abe lkeman, first team All-American,
lungs crushed.
"Carl Sandoval,
50-meter freestyle champ,
"made it all the way to the hospital.
Died of internal bleeding."
I guess you just know everything, then.
I know what it's like to lose a team.
Yeah?
What about living in a small town
where everyone thinks
that you killed their brother
or their son or their best friend?
You know about that?
Kind of small town where everyone
still waves to everyone,
just not to you?
I read the report, Jake.
Your blood alcohol was zip that night.
I'm guessing there was a flip
for designated driver.
You lost.
Guess that just makes it
all go away, huh?
No, it doesn't make it all right.
It just makes it an accident.
At least that's how it reads.
You were 16 years old, Jake.
I'm not your priest, but if I was, I think...
I think maybe you'd deserve a pass.
You're giving me a pass?
You just think you know everything
with your psychobabble bullshit.
Why am I here? Why are you here?
You're too old to be doing this.
You're washed-up here.
You don't wanna be teaching
a bunch of kids in a pool. Am I right?
I don't give a shit what you read
or who you talked to.
You don't know about me! You don't...
I have me under control.
I can see that.
The only difference
between you and me is,
I don't wear the ones I lost
on my arm, Jake.
I know where you're at, Jake.
I'm there myself.
I ask myself every day
why I was the one that survived.
-And?
-And...
And if I can't answer that for me,
I'm certainly not going to try
and answer it for you.
Have a seat.
I want you
to start being a member of this team,
the team you have now.
You have a gift, Jake.
You're the best swimmer
to come through this program,
hands down, by far.
You got a whole record board
to prove it.
But you know what I see
when I look at it?
I see someone fast enough
who's gonna get there first.
I see someone strong enough
who's gonna last.
I see someone who can save a life
that maybe nobody else could.
You really wanna honor
the initials on your arm?
Then honor your gift.
Save the ones you can, Jake.
The rest, we've gotta let go.
Does this mean
you're not gonna fail me?
For what, backing up a buddy in a bar?
Man, I got bigger problems than you.
I don't know about you,
but I could use a fucking drink.
Oops.
I'm gonna consider everything tonight
off-record and off-duty.
That was an invite.
Oh.
You gotta be kidding me.
-What was it they called you?
-"Puddle pirates," but it's not...
I'm way over it, Senior Chief. This is...
-Well, it's like sticks and stones.
-Well, we'll just have one beer.
