SCHOOL BELL RINGS
No lolling about in the locker rooms
and no leaving a mess like last week.
Jesus Christ, haven't you had enough,
G.I. Jane?
Who's G.I. Jane?
It's an old movie about this woman soldier
who shaves her head.
CAITLIN:
Is it good?
- FRASER: I don't really like sailors.
- CAITLIN BREATHES HEAVILY
Come on, up, up, up.
- SHE WHISPERS: OK.
- Gimme your paw.
CAITLIN:
How would you kill yourself?
Make a vertical cut
otherwise it's much less effective.
Hanging seems nice.
What do you know about knots?
Uh, I didn't know how to tie my shoe
until I was, like, 12
so I'm not entirely comfortable
with the process.
If you don't snap your neck,
you choke to death.
Drowning. River. Sea.
Nice, very poetic.
Thank you.
When I was eight they found me
with my father's pistol jammed in my mouth.
I have no idea why I did it.
I seemed like such a happy little girl.
Wow. The bullshit you concoct.
- I'll be done in 10.
- You made that up, right?
Yeah. Sure.
- He's changed, he's got an attitude.
- I noticed that, too.
SCHOOL BELL RINGS
Anyway, river or sea,
it doesn't make a difference,
you die of a heart attack
before you hit the water.
- Barbiturates?
- Could go either way.
FRASER: If you survived,
you'd be found covered in vomit,
- it's double humiliation.
- CAITLIN: As if we haven't had enough.
Know what, I'll never kiss a girl again.
I'm never kissing anyone again.
I'm turning into a monster.
- Hey.
- Hey.
We're still friends.
Call me, if you want to.
Of course, I'll call you, Brit.
It's probably the hair.
- What are we doing this weekend?
- Well, I'm grounded for life,
but my dad's taking me out somewhere.
How about you?
I'm planning on being bored now.
OK, I know how you feel
about the locker room.
But that shirt is ugly and dirty.
And, and you're stinky.
TEACHER: Very proud of that SAT score.
Keep it up. Very proud of you.
Text me.
- KID: Hey, Dad!
- Over here, honey!
WOMAN: Judith!

- MAN: Thank you, that was very kind.
- CLERK: Thank you.
FRASER:
Fraser Wilson.
Sign here, please.
FRASER:
Thanks.
MALE CLERK:
Next! Can I help you, sir?
You want to send this express?
Hey Davis, can you grab me
some packing tape?
FRASER SIGHS
MALE CLERK: Alright, thank you very much.
That's right over there.
- SOLDIER: Identify yourself.
- Uh, Fraser Fraser Wilson.
SARAH:we'll be hosting here on base
the second Crowd and Riot Control course.
It's an honour for us.
I was told things didn't go smooth
last year. Major Duncan?
DUNCAN: There was some confusion regarding
accommodations.
Hi, Fraser,
you can sit in Jonathan's office.
Hi.
SARAH:
We need more volunteers.
Maybe Major Duncan,
inform us on the course program.
DUNCAN: It lasts five days
and is intended for officers
who may find themselves in NATO
SARAH:
It's my favourite lunch table!
- Hey!
- FRASER: Hey.
- Hi, hey there.
- Were you looking for your mother?
Yeah. No!
HE STAMMERS
Could I wait here,
since her door's closed?
Of course.
She's in the middle of a meeting,
but she should be done soon.
Actually, I'll just come back later
when she's less busy.
Are you sure?
HE WHISPERS She's almost done.
- FRASER: OK.
- SARAH: Great.
OK.
It's OK.
SARAH: It seems some soldiers
have used their uniforms to pick up women.
Understandable, 'cause some of them
need all the help they can get.
STAFF LAUGH
SARAH: Jonathan, would you read the rules?
Just looking at them parches my throat.
JONATHAN: Of course.
"The use of military uniform
is without exception forbidden
outside the base
with the sole exception of travel
to and from personal housing facilities
and installations and riding in
an authorized governmental or rented vehicle.
The use of the military uniforms
is permitted in hotels
only upon arrival and departure,
but in no case is permitted
in the common areas.
The use of the uniform is authorized
in fast food drive-throughs
and at gas stations
as long as the uniformed personnel
remains inside the vehicle.
The Commander in Chief invites privates
who travel by motorbike, bicycle and foot
to not carry backpacks with logos or signs
that refer directly
or are associated with the DoD.
Same goes for car stickers."
- SARAH: I warned you.
- STAFF LAUGH
SARAH:
Please, continue.
JONATHAN: "Furthermore,
the Commander in Chief
invites anyone who witnesses
an inappropriate use of the uniform
to promptly report it
to the competent office."
Sweetheart.
Everything all right? Something you need?
Why do I have to need something
to come see you?
You didn't count the days.
- I know perfectly well it's the 12th day.
- OK, I have to go now.
Cate went somewhere with her father
and now she's grounded for life.
On account of her hair?
Poor girl, we're still giving importance
to those things?
- FRASER: It's important to Cate.
- I meant to say
You always seem to know what's important,
when and for who, don't you?
- SARAH: Why are you so on edge?
- Forget it.
Don't be like that. Look, I came out
of my meeting to talk to you. Shh.
Then go back to your meeting.
FRASER GROWLS
Forgot my backpack.
FRASER GROWLS
- SARAH: Take it easy.
FRASER GROWLS
SARAH:
Glad we're talking again.
MUSIC: "Dixie Road" by Lee Greenwood
PLAYS ON CAR RADIO
RICHARD: Can pick the station
and also choose what kind of music
you want to listen to.
Cool.
Try it. What kind of music do you like?
CAITLIN:
I don't know.
What do you mean, "don't know"?
CAITLIN: I don't Whatever's on.
I don't know much about music.
How can that be?
You always have those things in your ears?
CAITLIN:
I don't understand it.
I like what I like
and I don't like what I don't like.
This is OK, I mean,
if you like it this song is OK, Dad.
FRASER:
Harper, answer. Harper, answer.
Harper, answer, answer,
answer, answer, answer
Fuck! Fuck, I'm an asshole. I'm an asshole.
What do you think about Fraser?
A very particular kid,
unusual taste and intelligence for his age.
Gifts like those can also be a curse.
I'm worried that a setting like this
might be a limitation for his abilities.
He always needs new stimuli.
WOMAN:
instead of inside the base
- we could have it in Chioggia.
- SARAH: Sorry
DUNCAN:
Not sure our people would like that.
Whenever we have celebrations off base,
it always feels very stuffy.
SARAH:
You're stuffy! You never get out!
STAFF LAUGH
DUNCAN: Anyway, we need to discuss it
with the Navy.
SARAH: We also need to make information
about our missions more available.
But it's related to what we've
CAITLIN:
It's cool.
RICHARD:
That's the beginning of the hunting area.
It extends for two miles.
Somebody in a job like mine
or a journalist like Mrs Menkes
who is in this kind of business
for a few years to be nice with ourselves
If you think it was better,
more interesting before, people more
No! It is up to us
to adjust to our times
and the minute you think
the past was better,
your present is second-hand
and yourself becomes vintage.
OK, so
It's OK for clothes,
it is not that great for people.
So can you give us some examples
of how you stay connected to the present?
There are not so many different ways
to stay connected.
You have to be interested
in what's going on.
You have to read the newspapers.
I like papers better than
screens for that.
You have to be informed.
You must never think that you saw it all.
You must always have your eyes open,
you have to be like a roof with
lots of antennas, get all the images
JONA THAN: What if I take you there, say,
tomorrow, Fraser?
Unless I hear from you,
I'll swing by and pick you up at nine.
Even if I do hear from you and you say yes,
I'll swing by and pick you up at nine,
of course. HE LAUGHS
Cate!
Cate!
Cate!
Cate!
Cate!
- CAITLIN WHISPERS: Yes.
- MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES
Had to go to the bathroom.
RICHARD:
Don't wander off too far.
RICHARD:
Is that done enough for you?
A little more.
RICHARD:
Add some salt.
Was it him? Did he call you?
Who?
- Fraser?
- Yes.
- No.
- OK.
- I don't need to confiscate your phone, do I?
- No.
What do you like about that boy?
I don't know
He understands me.
How can a fashion victim from New York
understand you?
He only seems like that,
he's not actually that.
Or he's not only that.
But are the two of you dating or something?
I mean, are you kissing?
Because he seems gay.
I mean, he's gay, isn't he?
No, we're not dating, Dad.
No kissing.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Loving someone who can't love you,
that hurts.
- The two of you are just too different.
- Like you and Mom?
Mom and I were the same.
For a long time,
we both wanted the same things.
But when you're an adult
Right, when you're an adult.
Not something I'd understand.
Everything's changed, right?
You don't even smile at me anymore.
You answer back, and you treat me
like I'm an idiot who knows nothing.
Well, I'm not stupid.
We get up at zero dark thirty.
CAITLIN:
I'm still me, Dad.
JONATHAN: What if I take you there, say,
tomorrow, Fraser?
Unless I hear from you, I'll swing by
and pick you up at
swing by and pick you up at nine.
Even if I do hear from you and you say yes,
I'll swing by and pick you up at nine.
FRASER CHUCKLES
JONATHAN:
What if I take you there, say
What if I take you there, say,
tomorrow, Fraser?

JONATHAN: Unless I hear from you,
I'll swing by and pick you up at nine.
Even if I do hear from you and you say yes,
I'll swing by and pick you up at nine
RICHARD:
Is your shotgun ready?
It's a 12-gauge.
It's got more kick than anything
you've fired before,
but it's going to fit you like a glove.
I can handle it.
Fine. We'll see.
Take a breath.
BIRD SQUAWKS
Fire.
GUNSHO
I had it lined up.
RICHARD
You're tilting your head too far right.
Bring the stock up to your cheek.
That way you're squared off to the target.
BIRD SQUAWKS
GUNFIRE
THEY LAUGH
JONATHAN:
Ready?
FRASER:
I've been forever.
TEXT MESSAGE ALER
MAGGIE:
Where's he going?
Um, out with Jonathan.
MAGGIE:
The cute assistant
Why didn't you tell me?
Aren't you happy
now we'll have a little alone time?
MAGGIE:
Sure, but why didn't you tell me?
What's there to tell?
I might not be thrilled to hear
that he's going out
with a 30-year-old man, don't you think?
SARAH: You're right,
it just didn't occur to me to tell you.
Plus you haven't been around
the house much.
It's not about me.
It's just that it doesn't seem like
the best idea that he goes out alone
with a guy who's much older,
and who's also in your chain of command.
Well, Cate's grounded
and this place doesn't suit him.
TEXT MESSAGE ALER
Fraser needs to spend time
with grown-up males.
Someone who can be like an older brother
or father figure.
Jonathan is a very nice young man.
I was hoping for a bit of a truce,
at least with you.
I was hoping to become something better
than your truce.
Sweetheart, I don't
You can't know.
That's right.
I can't know
can never know.
SARAH BREATHES IN DEEPLY
MAGGIE:
Wanna have a bath?
SARAH:
I'll draw it.
SARAH CHEERS
JONATHAN:
Are you tired of walking?
Not really, are you?
No, I say it because you don't exactly seem
like the athletic type.
Oh, I was kidding. You're so sensitive
What is this place? Why'd you bring me here?
Some of the most violent battles in history
took place in here.
Young men were dying like flies
into those trenches
and it would go on for days on end.
Did the Nazis drop the bombs?
This was World War I, smart boy.
No Nazis?
What's that?
Sacrario.
What is sacrario?
One of the biggest Clubs 27 on earth.
There's about 50,000 dead men in there.
And over 30,000 are militi ignoti.
- What are militi ignoti?
- Unknown soldiers.
After the explosions,
the men's bodies were so mangled up
they couldn't tell them apart.
- Fuck.
- Yeah.
- Shit.
- That's why they buried them together.
Why would you bring me here?
Why not? Look around.
It's beautiful.
You said, what, 50,000 dead men?
- Mmm-mm.
- I mean, that's kind of unideal,
unusual for a first date,
for a first whatever.
A first whatever.
FRASER CHUCKLES
So, you like nature?
FRASER:
Uh, yeah. I mean I like it a lot, I like
Uh, I just don't like spiders or insects
or green things.
SHEEP BLEA

THEY LAUGH
FRASER LAUGHS
- JONATHAN: Go!
Sheep.
Don't you have to go?
Uh, no, not right now, thank you.
JONATHAN: You have no idea the relief
you're missing out on.
Watch out for the green things.
THEY LAUGH
- Are you sure you can stay?
- Yes, of course.
- Do you want me to call your mother?
- No. No, no, no, no, that's OK.
That's fine.
IN ITALIAN:
- Do you want a Coke?
- No, wine would be great.
OK.
FRASER:
Wine would be great.
- Isn't it beautiful here?
- It's beautiful. It is, yeah.
It's beautiful.
B-A-utiful.
IN ITALIAN:
FRASER LAUGHS
To this day we're spending together.
Meeting you and then seeing you
at the theatre and being able to know you
Woo! Oh!
There she is.
Marta, meet Fraser.
- MARTA: Hi.
- Fraser, meet my friend.
MARTA:
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
- Marta.
- I've heard so much about you.
Yeah.
HE CHUCKLES
Are you really as brilliant
as Jonathan says?
FRASER:
Brilliant?
Brilliant.

I bet everyone asks
if they can touch it, huh?
- A pain in the ass, huh?
- Yeah.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Oh, no, no, I'm OK.
How was hunting?
Uh, great.
I learned I was holding my head wrong.
Your father's an excellent marksman.
You still wanna be a soldier?
Maybe.
Does your father know when you say soldier,
you mean male soldier?
- Do you know Dr Harris?
- Psychologist?
He's actually an endocrinologist.
I can take you to see him, just to talk.
Why?
Because it's time
we changed this world and ourselves.
In order to do that
we have to know ourselves.
Was holding onto this until I saw you.
Wow.
Take it, look it over, please.
MAN: So what you wanna do

All the way in.
You're gonna wanna draw back.

JENNY:

RICHARD: Last time we did you got upset
because it was a pheasant
- and you had to pull the pellets out.
- JENNY: Upset 'cause the meat was tough.
- MAN: Slowly. And we are good.
- JENNY:3 hours it still wasn't edible.
MAN: You're just going to take your
JENNY: Why did you have to throw your clothes
in the laundry bag?
MAN: And once that's done,
you're going to massage the area,
it kinda helps spread the testosterone.

REPORTER:
Red hats are being worn with pride
outside Trump Tower
hours after the businessman
became the president-elect.
Now I can wear my hat.
No one is gonna throw rocks at me.
REPORTER:
Even though New York went blue,
some Trump supporters feel much safer
voicing their support on city streets today
than they did yesterday.
I've been here since 1:30 in the morning.
When I saw it was that close,
I said "I have to witness history".
REPORTER:
Pride contrasting a humbleness
that Trump's campaign manager says
our president-elect
is demonstrating in private today.
Being president is humbling
because you got the task
of unifying a very divided country.
The task of tackling so many problems
domestically and internationally.
It's a big load that he is inheriting
REPORTER: But protesters
who lined up in the rain this morning
say unifying under a Trump presidency is
PRESENTER: Nightly news continues now
with another half hour of coverage
on most of our stations,
for others
it will be streamed live on our website.
We're back now
with more of our continuing coverage
of Donald Trump's stunning upset victory
to make him
the 45th President of the United States.
One of the most improbable and incredible
election dramas in American history.
- In the hours since Trump claimed victory
- Yes?
we've learned the outcome came as a shock
even to the Trump campaign themselves.
- His rival Hillary Clinton conceded
- Where?
- How many?
- admitting a painful loss
of the electoral vote,
even if she holds a narrow lead
in the popular vote.
We've got more on President-elect Trump
and how his victory impacts the country
starting with NBC's Peter Alexander.
SARAH:
OK. Yeah, I'm coming over.
REPORTER: Tonight a stunning new reality.
President-elect Donald Trump.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Complicated business. Complicated.
REPORTER: The great disrupter
pulling off an improbable triumph
that even his closest aides said
they didn't see coming.
I say it is time for us
to come together as one united people.
PEOPLE CHEER
It's time.
REPORTERS: For hours,
Americans watched in suspense and disbelief
as Trump's red state victories grew.
Inside Hillary Clinton's headquarters,
heartbreak.
But at the war room
on Trump Tower's 14th floor, euphoria.
Just shy of 2:30am a private phone call
to Trump, Clinton conceded.
Only later revealing her pain in public
with a personal plea to young people.
This loss hurts,
but please never stop believing
that fighting for what's right
is worth it.
REPORTER: Trump's aides praised it
as a very classy speech.
So what happened?
One top Republican strategist calls it
"The revenge of the rural white voters
with higher turnout
than Mitt Romney four years ago."
Trump won whites without college degrees
by 39 points.
He was able to tap into this notion
that the government and political elites
were indifferent and disdainful
of their interests.
And I think that they resented it.
REPORTER: Another factor,
Hillary Clinton's failure
to match the Obama coalition,
African-Americans and millennials.
Despite a repudiation of his policies,
President Obama promoted unity.
Everybody is sad when their side
loses an election,
but the day after we have to remember
that we're actually all on one team.
REPORTER: Tomorrow,
presidents 44 and 45
will meet at the White House
to discuss the smooth transition.
For Trump, the hard part is just beginning,
pivoting from campaigning to govern
