Hey, you got a bad feeling about this? You want to roll this thing up before we get started, you just say the word.

Eyes and ears in every room.

Then it's back to my place to set up the monitors.

No way you could delay the ceremony? Not without looking like a complete a**hole.

He's in the head now puking his guts out.

I thought the Army docs did a complete psych eval.

They did.

So what's the problem? I don't know, David.

Maybe eight years at the bottom of a hole had something to do with it.

I have the Vice President arriving as we speak.

And I need him smiling and waving like a hero, like it's the f***ing Macy's Day Parade.

The President asked me to thank you personally.

I have to think the short list for the directorship just got a lot shorter.

Well, I appreciate the consideration, sir.

Not that I'm pushing for it.

Sure you are.

Hi, Dad.

Dana.

How was your trip? Look at how beautiful you are.

Chris.

Pleased to meet you.

Hug him, Chris.

Where's Mom? When? Four years ago.

Sergeant Brody, the Vice President's here.

Sergeant Brody.

It's an honor.

Thank you, sir.

You okay? Yeah.

Good morning, Marines.

Good morning, sir! I said, "Good morning, Marines.

" Good morning, sir! Stand at ease.

Sergeant Brody, on behalf of the President of the United States and a grateful nation, it is my privilege to welcome you home! Oorah! Sergeant Nicholas Brody.

Thank you, Mr.

Vice President.

I'm not really too good at making speeches.

My wife does most of the talking in the family.

Even though I can't mention 'em by name, I want to thank the Special Forces team that saved my life.

And thanks to all of you out there for your prayers and your good wishes.

It made all the difference.

Most of all, I want to say I want to say thank you to my family for their strength in my absence and for their undying faith this day would come.

I'm a lucky man.

Guy's got game.

How long before you're set up? The feed will be live by the time Sergeant Brody gets back to his house.

More details on Sergeant Brody's captivity are expected to come out.

So, uh, you and Carrie, how long you guys known each other? Long enough.

'Cause I'd kind of feel a lot better if I had a clear picture about who we're dealing with.

We are breaking, like, You would, would you? A clearer picture? Why don't you shut the f*** up and get back to work, okay? Hey I'm sorry, um let's just say that she's a little intense.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What's that? It's what she hides in her aspirin bottle instead of aspirin.

I have one of my migraines coming on, so Let me see that.

What do you think it is? I don't know.

I'm driving.

Are you sure that's a good idea? Jesus, Mom, just let him drive.
