Base camp, base camp.

This is Red Four. Over.

Base camp to Red 4,

about 14 clicks out. Over.

While I'm out here

trying not to get my ass shot off...

she's back in the States

shacked up with my best friend.

No way.

So the b*tch filed for custody.

So I go to First Sergeant...

trying to get home on emergency

leave so I can handle my sh*t.

You know what he told me?

"Deal with it."

Oh, man, you can't roll over on

that one, you gotta fight back.

Meanwhile she was the one with the drinking

problem, but I'm unstable because I'm overseas.

Well, you are a little unstable,

we just won't tell them that.

Roger.

Are those tracer rounds?

Red 4, this is Red 2!

Come inside, contact.

Contact front!

Contact, front!

Command 6, Command 6 this

is Red Four, we've got contact.

IED, IED!

What the f*** are we doing?

You didn't see that truck

in front of us?

Command 6, this is Red 4.

Four VICs intact.

Who's in the VIC in front of us?

Medic! Medic!

Ramp down, I'm going in!

Doc! You need to wait

for dismounts to kick out.

Don't have a minute!

Medic on the ground!

RADIO TECH Red 4,

we got a medic on the ground. Over.

Medic!

What the hell?

You're gonna get shot!

Get out of there!

White, come in!

Where are you hit?

I can't feel my legs!

I can't feel my legs.

You're gonna be all right.

Cook, you're gonna be all right.

10:
00, Jersey!

All right this is ready. Angel to dust off.

I need a medevac 500 meters past TRP 1

Doc, we need to get out of here!

You! Over here! Right now!

Help me out!

Get him under the arm!

Get him under the arm.

Go!

Clear!

Nice and easy.

All right, take off his ACH.

Give me some light.

You're gonna make it,

you're gonna be all right.

What is it? Am I gonna die?

Cook, breathe,

you need to calm down, okay?

Please?

Open my bag.

Let me know what you want me

to get from here.

Just open it. All right, I need

you to calm down, okay?

You'll be all right.

What the hell is that?

What is it?

It's got fins.

Holy sh*t, is that live f***ing

ordinates?

You can't touch that, Doc.

We need EOD.

Please, please, I promised my

son I was coming home.

You're gonna cut him open here?

Hold him down.

Please! Please, God,

I don't want to die.

Don't move, okay?

You okay, Swann?

Yes, sir.

I heard about what you did out there.

If he pulls through, it's because of you.

Sh*t luck on your last day.

What's up, Swanny?

Boy, you suck.

Welcome to the party.

Ah, it's good

to be at the party.

Ducky, my man.

You know your kid is gonna go

ape-sh*t when he sees you?

He better.

All right, one last one.

No! No, no!

You gotta be in it.

Say Hadji.

Come on.

Come on.

This is the happiest

day of my life.

Hands down, bar none, the

happiest f***ing day of my life.

Mine, too.

Left face!

On behalf of Fort Bliss,

and a grateful nation...

thank you for a job well done.

Welcome home and be safe.

Captain.

Company, attention.

Dismissed.

Maggie.

Hey.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

How was your flight?

Long. Where's Paul?

Oh, Paul, he...

He just wasn't on my way.

I got caught up with a client.

I was showing him one of those

developments over in Mesa...

and the guy said,

"Great, I'll take it."

And the next thing you know,

I gotta check credit and get a deposit.

Richard, I know what it

takes to sign a lease.

I can still tell

when you're lying.

Goddamn it, wait a minute.

Maggie!

What?

You know... he didn't want

to come, all right?

I tried to talk him into it,

and he didn't want to come.

I think he's a little bit

confused right now.

You know, it's been 15 months

since you've been gone...
