Okay, I guess.

Marine! Mike? Welcome back.

Thanks, man.

How you holding up? You look good.

It's great to be home.

It's great to have you home.

This is for real? You stayed in? Military intelligence.

I know, right? Me, of all people, huh? And Megan? How's she? Long gone, buddy.

She divorced me between my second and third tours.

Ah.

Look, I hate to bring this up, but Langley wants to schedule a follow-up to your debrief in Germany.

- They asked me to arrange it.

- When? - Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?! I know.

I said the same thing, but this guy Estes, he wants it done sooner than later.

He just got here.

It's okay, Jess.

I'd rather just get it over with.

Well, I'll send a car in the morning.

Good.

And when you're up for it I'm taking you to the Greeks for some steak and beer, buddy, 'cause we got a lot of lost time to start making up for.

Huh? Yeah.

God, it's good to see you, buddy.

You, too.

You, too.

Look.

We're famous.

You said you'd be ready by the time they got home.

It's just a minor glitch, give me a few minutes.

You painted the house.

Mike's brother did it.

He's a contractor.

He gave us a really great rate.

What do you think of the color? I like it.

Come on.

I'll show you what we did inside.

How's it feel to be back? Can we get a group shot with the yellow ribbon? What do you think? Sure.

Sure.

Come on, come on.

Yeah.

If you could just line up in front of the tree, yeah.

Family shot.

That's fantastic.

Big smile.

I'm having trouble collecting that intel.

I need you to get me into Sergeant Brody's debrief tomorrow morning.

And what good would come of that? I'm a trained interrogator.

I'll ask him a few questions, poke around his story a little.

principals only.

David's all about punishing me.

And not just for what happened in Baghdad.

- Do you blame him? - No, but this shouldn't be personal; I belong in that room.

Will you behave yourself? Carrie? Carrie? Sorry.

Uh, yeah.

I need you to promise.

You will raise no eyebrows in there.

You will break no china.

I promise.

Good.

Then you can have your face time with Sergeant Brody.

Thank you, Saul.

Yep.

Oh, Christ.

Well? Hello, Big Brother.

So when do you want me back tomorrow? Carrie.

I need to be in the office by 9:00, so get here at 8:00.

Okay.

Hello? Hello? Hello? Who was that? Oh, Jesus, you scared me.

Nobody.

They hung up.

How was your shower? God, you look beautiful.

How about a glass of wine? I opened a bottle.

Oh, I see what this is now.

Dimming the lights, plying me with liquor.

Is it that obvious? Kind of.

I gotta say, I like you in that nightgown, though.

My mother wears a nightgown.
