How do you say
"We're so happy to see you"

in... What is
the language there?

Afghanistanish?

Uh, it's Pashto.

And I only know a few phrases.

Like?

Which means?

"Please, God,
get me out of here."

So you can say that and not
"We're so glad you're here"?

Lizzie, the whole time
I served in Afghanistan

I never heard anyone say,
"We're so glad you're here."

We should've brought him
a welcome gift.

When I went back
for my second tour,

he was waiting for me
on the tarmac

with a pot of pacha.

Ooh, that something
you eat or smoke?

It's a traditional
Afghan breakfast soup

made of sheep's hooves.

Seriously?

I know, it sounds more
like a lunch food, doesn't it?

Al's mom used to make it for us.

Aw...

Are you gonna cry
when you see him?

Marines don't cry, Lizzie.

- They don't, huh?
- No.

Those babies
in the Air Force cry

when their sunglasses
get smudged.

There he is, there he is.

- Al, over here!
- Aah!

Hi.

Oh, my friend.

I am so happy to see you.

I was worried
you weren't gonna make it.

Me, too. But...

you found a way.

Hi, Al.

Lizzie.

It is so good
to finally meet you.

Thank you for keeping
my brother safe.

Oh, thank you!

Oh, look at this.

Today, we are all
in the Air Force.

♪ ♪

♪ Oh! ♪

It is a marvel

how beautifully paved
your roads are.

And look how everyone stops
for the red light.

People don't stop for traffic
lights in Afghanistan?

No, we are too busy.
We have places to go.

Oh, there's a lot to see.

I can't wait
to show you everything.

And I want to see everything.

Washington D.C., Las Vegas.

And what's the name
of that place

that sells peanut butter and
brings it to you on a forklift?

Costco.

- It will not disappoint.
- Hmm.

Neither will Vegas.

I can't take him to Vegas.

Won't drink, won't gamble.

And do not try to
show him naked women.

True.

But there is nothing
in the Koran

that says I cannot ride
a roller coaster

through a tiny New York.

You definitely have to come
with me to Burning Man.

Oh, Lizzie, don't.

- Who is Burning Man?
- It's a what.

- What is a what?
- Burning Man.

It sounds like a who.

There is no burning man.

What?

Picture this:

bunch of Americans show up,
pitch some tents,

run around like crazy people,

light everything on fire
and then leave.

Are you trying
to make me homesick?

So, Riley,

when do I get to meet
the most wonderful woman

in all of creation?

Oh, yeah.

About that.

They broke up.

I was getting there.

What are you talking about?

R-Riley, for years,
all I heard about

was how much you love
and miss her.

Well, didn't work out.

Kind of in the middle of a...

divorce.

What about my goddaughter?

Hazel? You'll meet her.

It's just a little complicated
right now.

Oh, Riley.

Have you apologized for
whatever it was you did wrong?

What makes you think
it was my fault?

Oh, Riley.

Look at all this food.

Why do you people invade
other countries,

when you can
just stay here and eat?

Good question, man.

Look at this apple.

It is perfect.

It's a perfect apple.

May I take a bite?

- Knock yourself out.
- Ah.

Oh, no, we can't buy this.

Well, we kind of have to now.

But it has no taste.

It's just crunchy water.

What do they taste like
in Afghanistan?

They have an apple flavor.

I'll have my mother
send you some.

All right, rotisserie
chicken, eight even.

No, no, no.

Eight dollars for that chicken?

- I do not think so.
- Excuse me?

I will give you four.

- What?
- Four,

Or I am walking away.

- I can't change the price of the groceries.
- Okay.

I am walking away.

Look at me, I am walking away.

You will lose the sale.

Lizzie, put everything back.

We are walking away.

- What is he doing?
- Just watch.

Okay, Shawn, you are good.

You are a credit
to your profession.

I will give you five dollars
for the chicken.

I couldn't do that
even if I wanted to.

The computer doesn't let us.

Okay, so you want to.

We're getting somewhere.
Move aside.

I can figure it out.

This is gonna end very badly.

No, it's not.

Hmm. Here is a button
to override the store price.

Just put in
your employee number.

Manager to Checkout Three.

We have a, uh...

I don't know what.

Hey, Al, while you're at it,

these avocados were
two dollars each

last time I was here.

Now they're $2.50.

Oh, so the price can change
but only up.

How do you explain that, Shawn?

Is there a problem here?

Eh, there is no problem.

We have just agreed

that this chicken will be
five dollars.

Now let's talk
about the avocados.

Uh, n-nothing I can do
about the avocados,

but you can have the chicken
for five bucks

if you just leave.

Deal.

See?

Oh, um, by the way, Tom.

Shawn here is an
excellent employee.

If you cannot give him a raise,

you can certainly send him home

with some nice meat
for his family.

Here we are.

What a beautiful home.
Mashallah.

Yeah.

Mashallah...

Oh, relax, man.

You don't have to take
your shoes off.

What am I, an animal?

Hey! Awalmir!

A-welcome.

I am so happy to be here.

I cannot thank you enough.

There is no need.

Your son helped me, too.

We helped each other.

You must be exhausted.

Well, it was eight hours
from Kabul to Hamburg,

then two hours to Heathrow,

then my flight got canceled,
and I waited six hours

for the ten-hour flight
to Atlanta.

And then two hours
to Columbus, so yes,

I am a little, uh...

Riley, what is
that wonderful word?

Pooped.

All right,
let me get you a beer.

Dad, what the hell, man?

We talked about this.
No alcohol.

Oh, right, right.
Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.

No, your son should be sorry

for talking to you
with that tone of voice.

I like him.

- Come on, I made dinner.
- And don't forget,

He can't have pork.

Well, make up your mind.

Are you Muslim or you Jewish?

- Dad!
- Ah, calm down.

So, what's going on
with your family?

- They are safe for now, inshallah.
- Where?

Kabul.

Oh, I love it there.

You said Cabo, right?

How would his family get
to Mexico?

I spent a spring break
in Mexico.

I don't know how I got there.

All right, here we go.

No pork, no booze.

I'd say "enjoy,"
but I don't see it happening.

Amen.

So, Al, besides your family,

did you leave behind
anyone special?

A girlfriend maybe?

No. I am afraid not.

How come?
You're a good-looking guy.

Thank you,
you are also very handsome.

It's just that
I moved around a lot,

and I could never tell anyone
where I lived

because the Taliban
were hunting me.

Yeah, dating's hard.

Someday I hope to have a wife

who is as wonderful
and beautiful as your wife.

Really? You just got here,
and you're busting my chops.

How could you not tell me you
were having marriage problems?

I could have fixed it.

From Afghanistan?

It's not the moon.
We have Wi-Fi.

Whatever, man, it's fine.

Just leave it alone, all right?

When do you see your daughter?

I don't know,
when her mother lets me.

I keep telling him
to get his act together

and do whatever it takes
to get her back.

Does he listen?

I bet he does not.

Dad, come on, man,
leave it alone.

Riley.

Your father has more wisdom

than you and I put together.

We should all kneel at his feet
and learn from him.

You can stay here
as long as you want.

And this is where we'll bunk.

Very nice.

No, it's not.

Check out the view.

Oh, look,

your trash cans are on wheels.

How clever.

You're an optimistic
little dude, aren't you?

Part of his culture, Dad.
They're very polite.

So, you mean you weren't
really crazy about my pot roast?

No, I loved it.

It was bursting with flavor.

Want to know
the secret ingredient?

- Huh?
- Ketchup.

I will take it to my grave.

All right, I've kept you up
long enough.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Ah, thank you for dinner,

and thank you for welcoming
me into your home.

Oh. What's happening?

You'll get used to it.

Yeah, I don't think I will.

- Good night, son.
- Good night, Dad.

Can I get you a drink?

Please.

Got some juice boxes
I keep here for my daughter.

Sunrise Surprise.

If it tastes like waking up
to American troops

banging on your door,
it's well-named.

Dude, I can't believe
you're really here.

Me neither.

So, what's up with your sister?

Ah, she is causing my
family so much stress.

She wants to quit her job
at the hospital

so she can join a program that
gives children polio vaccines.

Plus, she does not want
to get married.

Okay. But she's still
pretty young, right?

She's American young.
She's Afghan expired.

Well, maybe things
will look different

after we get your family
over here.

- Mm. That reminds me.
- Mm-hmm?

My mother said if it's possible,

she would like to live
in Florida.

Yeah. She can live
wherever she wants.

Why Florida?

She is a big fan of Miami Vice.

Is that why she always
called me Crockett?

I was Tubbs.

Hey, I'm gonna grab
some drinks with friends.

You guys want to come?

No, we're good.

Okay. See you in the morning.

Bye, Al.

Goodbye, Lizzie.

Well, she won't be back
in the morning.

And you let her do this?

Buddy, she does not
listen to me.

Ever since Michael died,
she's been partying real hard.

I was so sorry
to hear about that.

He was my favorite
helicopter pilot.

Once he even let me steer.

Longest four seconds of my life.

You know, they were
planning a wedding.

Hmm.

We are so blessed to have
walked away with our lives.

Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah.

You miss it, though.

Now, why would you say that?

Your room looks like
our bunker in Sangin.

Except it has fewer
homey touches.

It's only been a couple months.

I haven't really had time
to decorate.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, I do miss the action.

- Ah.
- I was good at it.

I'm not good at anything here.

Not good?

Riley, you got me out.

Your government would
have left me there,

but you did not let them.

We'll get your whole
family out, too.

All right? One way or another,
we'll get 'em out.

I know we will.

All right. You go to sleep.
I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

Uh, just down the street.
I'm out of beer.

Uh, Riley, are you not
too drunk to drive?

Yeah, probably.

- Give me the keys. I will drive.
- No, you're exhausted.

I was also exhausted when
I drove our Humvee under fire

through a field full of sheep.

Oh, yeah. That was the night
we all had lamb kebabs.

Let's go, Tubbs.

So, now that I have you
trapped in the car,

let's talk about your marriage.

Look, I'm sorry
I didn't tell you, okay?

I just thought you had
enough to worry about,

hiding from the bad guys.

Hiding is boring. A little
gossip would have been nice.

What do you want me to say?

I was embarrassed.

You should be.

I think you, Vanessa,
and I should meet

- and smooth things out.
- Not a chance.

Let's try for Sunday.
I'll make dinner.

I said no, man. Get off my case.

I wish I could, but you're
too good of a friend.

Ah, damn it.

Uh, just let me do
the talking, okay?

In all the years I've known you,
when has that ever worked?

Hold on. Um...

- Where is the button?
- It's on the door.

Everything is on the door. Uh...

No, it's on the right.

It's the one with
the little window. Let me...

Good evening, Officer.
Is there a problem?

Do you have any idea
how slow you were driving?

I do.

You have a beautiful country
and there is much to look at.

License and registration,
please.

Uh, Officer, I'm s... I'm sorry.

I screwed up, I made him drive.
It's my fault.

Do not listen to him.
He is very upset

and wishes he could be back
with his beloved wife.

Not the time, Al.

Here you go, Officer.

You're kidding, right?

Do you have any more money?

No, just put that away.

He doesn't have a license, okay?

I-I know this is bad.
Just please arrest me.

It's true.
I do not have my license.

I have just arrived
from Afghanistan

where I was an interpreter
fighting the Taliban

with U.S. forces for six years.

Six years?

Straight through.

The Marines got eight months
on, eight months at home.

I was there the whole time.

You a Marine?

Yes, sir.

Me, too. Anbar Province.

Mm-hmm.

Helmand. Both of us.

Heard that place
is a meat grinder.

Yeah, you could say that.

Listen, man,
i-it took me three years

to get this clown out of there.

Help me out.

Now, this can't happen again.

No, sir. It will not.

All right, go ahead.
Get on out of here.

- Thank you, brother.
- Yes, thank you.

Be careful.

I promise, from now on,

I will drive very fast.

Go.

You know, after you,
Lizzie and your dad,

he is my fourth-favorite person
in America.

Al?

Hmm.

What are you doing?

Making everything look nice.

- Why?
- Vanessa is coming over for tea.

Why?

So we could all talk.

No, no, no, Al.
Listen to me, man,

I really appreciate
you trying to help,

but you can't be
a hero and fix this.

Okay? You have no idea
what you're stepping into.

When the world says that
to America, it doesn't listen.

Why should I?

Man...

Take a shower.

This will go better
if you smell nice.

Hurry.

Dude!

Vanessa, having tea is an
important part of my culture.

It facilitates dialogue, even
among the most bitter enemies.

During the war,
Riley and I would do this

to try to resolve disputes.

I get that, Al,
but I just really don't think

this is gonna help us.

Yeah, I already told him that.

Oh, shut up.

Of course, in Afghanistan,
we were mostly dealing

with murderous warlords.

This is my first time
working with a married couple.

Well, we won't be married
for long.

Why'd you even come here?

I mean, don't you have
anything better to do?

I came out of respect
for the guy who saved your life.

You came to punish me.

I don't have
to punish you, Riley.

You punish yourself.

I have to tell you both, I am
missing the warlords right now.

Vanessa,

why don't you tell
me what you think

went wrong with your marriage?

Oh, Al, I don't even know
where to start.

I mean, the mood swings,
the drinking.

He won't go get help.
He refused to go to counseling.

I just... had enough.

Okay, thank you.

I have only been here one day,

but I have also seen the mood
swings and the drinking.

Hey. Whose side are you on?

I am in the middle.

Look. This is on purpose.

I'm sorry, but I'm done
trying to raise my daughter

with a guy who I can't trust.

I understand that, too.

When I met Riley, I did
not trust him either.

And I was right
not to trust him.

Did you know the first time
he gave me a gun,

he did not put bullets in it?

You're kidding.

I am not, and I discovered this

in the middle of a firefight.

I had to know you
weren't gonna shoot me.

And in that moment,

when I was clicking away
and nothing was coming out,

I really wanted to.

The point is, we did not
trust each other then.

But we do now.

Trust is earned.

Well, he's got a long way to go.

Oh, I agree.

Right now he's at zero with me.

Oh, zero is good.
I would not have gone that high.

But I do like you.

You know what's funny?

The warlords also
liked me and not him.

Vanessa, you are as wonderful
a woman as Riley always said.

I'm so glad we
finally got to meet.

Me, too.

Excuse me, but we haven't
resolved a thing here.

No, but we are talking,
which is a good first step.

If the two of us could learn
a language he does not know,

that might be helpful
for the future.

I speak a little French.

- Ah. Moi aussi.
- I can learn French.

Just drink your tea.

Oh, come on.

No bullets!

I told you I was sorry!

No bullets!

Can we please talk
about this later?

They're still shooting at us.

Oh, yeah? Must be nice for them!
