You know what they say about us, sir. We heal fast. Lt. Tom Cantrell:

[Rutledge refuses to look at Cantrell]
I can't do that, sir. 'Cause I ain't going back to stand trial. Lt. Tom Cantrell:
Well, don't you be a fool, Brax. What if you did get away? Why, this thing would haunt you until you couldn't stand it. 1st Sgt. Braxton Rutledge:
