Home Of The Brave Page #5

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?

We can get the same ones

we had last year, 10 rows up, 50-yard line,

- spend the night in the city.

- I'm busy.

Busy doing what?

Thought you liked football.

Did you read that in

one of your brochures or something?

"Invite your child on favorite activities,

"and re-establish familiar bonds."

- Billy, what's gotten into you?

- Mom!

Give me a break.

You guys are so obvious.

I'm out.

- Dede, go get your knapsack.

- But I want Daddy to get it.

Now, sweetheart.

You all right?

Yeah, sure.

Did you sleep at all?

Yeah.

No, honestly, I did.

- See you later.

- Okay.

The faculty wanted to do something,

but we weren't really sure...

It's okay, really.

You sure you're ready for this?

Yes, sir, I'm ready.

Well, good luck.

You were gone a while, Tommy.

- Like a year.

- Fifteen months, actually.

There's kind of a law that says

you have to hold my job until I get back.

But I hired someone else.

I had to. You were full-time.

That's the point, Zander.

This was my full-time job.

You knew I was coming back eventually.

I guess. I hoped so.

You know what I mean.

- Yeah.

- Look, Tommy,

I only have four employees.

You know that.

What did you think I was gonna do?

Look, I'll put a word in

with Tyson over at REl.

No, don't worry about it.

I need to find something

closer to home anyway.

Since I'm not gonna

be crashing at Molly's anymore.

I'm real sorry, man.

Yeah, it's cool.

You sure, now?

'Cause I don't want you going

all psycho on me or anything.

So how was it? You shoot anybody?

Yeah, I did.

Did you kill anybody?

I don't know, Zander.

I didn't stick around to find out.

It's war.

- Look, man, I gotta...

- Sure.

Look, you come back whenever, okay?

Brock's Gun Shop. This is Zander.

No. No, I'm sorry. We're all out of those.

I can get them for you next week.

Take any of the brochures now or you

can come down to the recruitment center

as we'd love to have you

in the Army family.

Sh*t!

Hey, let me give you a hand.

- It's all right. It's all right. It's okay.

- I got it. It's all right.

Just some mud on there.

It's okay. It's okay.

You must be Vanessa Price.

Well, what gave that away?

I'm Cary Wilkens.

I teach boys' P.E., but I've been teaching

your girls the last eight weeks.

Long day?

Yeah. Takes some getting used to.

So, you wanna grab a cup of coffee

or something?

I could fill you in on your students...

- I don't think so. But thanks.

- You sure?

- Yeah. No, I'm sure.

- You know, some kids are mean...

Okay.

I got it. I got this.

- Just trying to help.

- I know, but I got it.

It's nice to meet you, Vanessa.

F***!

Will?

Scott Martinez hit a homerun

in the 15th inning, won the game.
