American Bomber Page #2

I thought they'd shipped him

off to Iraq

and he might be, you know, hurt

or something.

When I found out where he was,

I was furious.

Here we are in the middle

of two wars

and you've got a nice

strong boy willing to fight

and what do you do?

Lock him in a box for

six months?

I was more mad about it than he

was.

I asked him about it

and he said,

It just don't matter.

He said he met a man

who helped him see the

world different.

And he told me,

In the end we all end

up where we belong.

You can make it tighter,

if you like.

While you are at it,

mind getting my cigarettes

out of my pocket?

Ta da!

Sure you don't want one, Mark?

Maybe later, then.

Hidell. J.J. He lost his

brother.

It is an awful thing when your

brother dies.

I've had many brothers here and I

have seen many of them die here.

Each one is a tragedy

who could know you more or love you

better than your own flesh and blood?

Once you lose that, what have

you got left?

And poor, poor JJ.

He lost the only person in the

world who understood him.

He needed someone who could help

him keep his chin above water

in the sewer they call the

world.

Someone to protect him and

teach him.

Someone to show him the way.

Show JJ the true nature of the rld

and where he might fit into it.

And now he's out there. Doing

his part.

We were watching this bomb

maker, Andrew Hall

trying to figure out where

he was getting his munitions.

We knew he'd been dishonorably

dischargedfrom Fort Garrett,

We're certain his supplier

was military.

We set up a surveillance team

at Hidell's mother's house

by the time we set up, he'd

disappeared.

I thought, he's a momma's boy

He's gonna call her sooner or

later.

Plus he's on the federal watch

list

the minute he uses a credit card

we got him.

Heard you had a fire.

Yeah, lightning hit my house.

Sorry to hear that.

It wasn't exactly Graceland.

I gotta get dinner going before

Ray gets home.

I appreciate you

stopping by and all.

Anne, I came to give you this.

What the hell is this?

My signing bonus. I re-enlisted

and I'm shipping out tomorrow.

Jim would've done

the same for my mom

You stupid kids.

What wereyou thinking,

going off to war?

Didn't do my Jim any good.

Didn't do me any good.

And going back there isn't

going to do you any good.

Keep your

money. I don't want it.

Anne, I really-

I gotta get dinner going.

Hi. Can I speak to Special Agent

Hondo, please?

Yeah. I'll hold.

This is the Hidell house.

He lived here for four

years before he burned it down.

He lived with his mother 'til the

check cleared and then he disappeared.

When someone's scammin' insurance,

they know sh*t they couldn't know.
