Home Of The Brave Page #4

Synopsis: The day after they get the word they'll go home in two weeks, a group of soldiers from Spokane are ambushed in an Iraqi city. Back stateside we follow four of them - a surgeon who saw too much, a teacher who's a single mom and who lost a hand in the ambush, an infantry man whose best friend died that day, and a soldier who keeps reliving the moment he killed a civilian woman. Each of the four has come home changed, each feels dislocation. Group therapy, V.A. services, halting gestures from family and colleagues, and regular flashbacks keep the war front and center in their minds. They're angry, touchy, and explosive: can a warrior find peace back home?

So they finally put it down

and it's a two-way, not a four-way.

- Unbelievable.

- I know.

Do those people know

what they're doing down there?

They don't.

Is that baby kicking yet?

- Oh, yes, he is.

When he's hungry.

- Dad, how's the food?

- It's lovely.

- We're gonna cut into that cake soon.

- Yeah, looks great. I'll have some.

Not yet. Not yet.

I'm going inside for a minute.

Anybody need anything?

- No, I'm great, thanks.

- No, thanks.

- So.

- Just back this morning, huh?

Yeah, four hours ago.

He looks great.

Attention!

Present!

Attention!

- Hi.

- Hey.

It's good to see you.

We'll be inside.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, Tom.

Hey.

Hi.

Where's Molly?

We're not together.

Dear John letter.

You know how that goes.

You look different.

- Older?

- Your eyes. They...

It's like they're looking over my shoulder,

you know?

Sadder, maybe.

Sorry.

Was he a hero, Tommy?

He died defending his country.

That doesn't answer my question.

- It's the truth.

- Stop it.

- You don't believe that.

- Of course I do.

He was doing his job.

And he was damn good at it.

Sorry.

He's cute.

When's he coming to see you?

- I don't know.

- What?

He is fine. If you don't want him,

then send him my way.

Are you ready for therapy?

Do I have a choice?

Not if you wanna get out of here.

Everything's gonna be okay.

They'll page me when you're done.

Good luck.

Jordan had this stuff sent to me.

I'm not sure why, but...

Well, you were his buddy.

He loved you, too, right?

Right.

God.

I always hated this picture.

He carried that with him

everywhere he went.

God.

What's this?

This is called a God's eye.

Some kid in Baghdad gave it to him.

- An Iraqi kid?

- Yeah.

I thought they all hated us.

Not all of them.

What's this one?

It's the Combat Infantry Badge.

These other two right here,

they're from letters of recommendation

but this is the CIB.

It's one all the soldiers wanted.

Means you fought hard.

I gave this to him.

There she is.

Vanessa!

Hi, honey.

You look so grown up.

Can you say "Hi" to Mommy?

Yeah? Can you say "Hi" to Mommy?

You look so thin.

Hey.

You look great.

Yeah, Ray, right.

Crackers are coming.

What is the matter, Ray?

How's it going?

Has everybody got everything?

Ray, crackers.

Yeah, the crackers.

Yes, they are right here.

I'm sorry about that.

Dede, that's really good

how you stay inside the lines now.

- Thank you, Daddy.

I'm out.

You're gonna be late.

Davis is picking me up. I'll eat in the car.

Seahawks have a game

against the Patriots Sunday night.

Perhaps you two should go.

Both of them suck this year.

Well, then maybe Dr. Benton

won't be using his tickets.
