All language subtitles for Army Wives S04E11 1080p WEB-DL DD+ 5.1 x264-TrollHD_track3_[und]

Previously on "Army wives"...

We have a new officer joining us
Today. Meet pamela moran.

Clay boone will be
Her field training officer.

I know you'll all make
Officer moran feel welcome.

Item two...

I got new orders today.

I'm not a recruiter
Anymore.

What?

I deploy to afghanistan
In a month.

I don't know what you're
Talking about.
Really?

Really.
I'm talking
About p.T.S.D.

What?
We've been here before.

Shut up, roland!
Just shut up!
(sara elizabeth crying)

Baby, what happened?

(whispers) you're okay.

(normal voice) hey.

I-I fell.

Oh, it's okay.

Sara elizabeth's fine.
Everything's okay.

No, it isn't, roland.

Something is not right.

(man) 4 mile...

(soldiers) 4 mile...

To the sun...

To the sun...

P.T.

P.T.

(exhales deeply) morning.

Oh. I was thinking about
Making pancakes this morning.

Scrambled eggs.
And I'll make 'em.

(claudia joy) you had
Scrambled eggs yesterday.

That is correct.
And the day before.

You want some?

No, thanks.

This wouldn't have
Anything to do

With, uh, it being day 99,
Would it?

Shh!

Did you just shush me?

We're not talking
About what day it is

Or anything else
Related to that.

We're not?

No.

Mm.

(sighs)

When a pitcher's got
A no-hitter going,

No one mentions it.
It's bad luck.

Team doesn't even talk to
The guy until the game's over.

I see.

So fort marshall is pitching
A no-hitter right now,

And I can't talk to you
About it.

(sighs)

I don't remember you being
This superstitious last time.

I wasn't in charge
Of the post last time.

I got two brigades
Getting ready to deploy.

We've got
Live-fire exercises today.

I'm not leaving anything
To chance.

(sizzles)

Okay.

***

I still can't decide.

Decide what?

Whether to double
My shrimp order or not. Move.

What are you talking about?

(sighs) it's day 99,

And if the post makes it
To a hundred,

Then y'all get a day off,
Right?
Right.

Well, that means
A crazy 3-day weekend

At the hump--

Lots of celebrating,
So I gotta be ready,

But the post hasn't reached
Day a hundred since we got here.

There's always been
Some crazy training accident

Or a drunk driver
Or whatever.

I mean, god forbid
Something bad should happen.

I can't afford a dumpster
Full of shellfish.

Babe, I'm a little busy
Right now.

Sorry.

Are you nervous?

A little. We're doing
Live-fire exercises.

Gotta shake off the rust.

Wait. Y'all are doing
Live-fire exercises today?

Yeah. We gotta train
Under combat conditions.

Don't you think
That's kinda bad luck

To do that on day 99?
I don't think
The army worries about it

When they schedule
These exercises.
Well, they should.

Babe...
You need to relax.

I promise you,
No one's gonna get hurt.

That includes you, trevor.

I mean it!

(door closes)

(sighs)

Yeah, the safety record's
On everyone's mind.
(claudia joy) mm.

Frank won't let me talk
About it, either.

He's nervous
About passing 99 days, too.

(laughs) oh, I know. I've
Never seen michael like this.

It would be funny,
If he wasn't so serious.

(chuckles) these are
Really cute, by the way.
Yeah, the committee did
A nice job with them.

I think the new moms will
Really like 'em.

Well, speaking as one,
I can guarantee you, they will.
Ohh.

I should get going.

My, uh, supervisor's
On vacation,

And the sub they brought in
Is a real jerk...
Ohh.

So I don't need him breathing
Down my neck for being late.
Yeah. How's that job going?

Mm, it's okay.
Yeah?

Yeah. Being a dispatcher
Is just not the same

As being out in the field.
Oh, you'll be back in
Your paramedic uniform soon.

Oh, I don't know,
Claudia joy.
(laughs)

(laughs) I'm not sure
What I'm gonna do about work

Once the baby's born.
Well, you still have time
To think about it, right?

Yeah. Yeah.
Mm.

I'll see you later.
Mwah. Bye. (chuckles)

Thanks.
(laughs)

The loading mechanisms
On the m-249s

Have all been checked?
Yes, sir.

All right.
Thank you.

(sighs)
Problem?

Yeah, staff duty officer
Called in sick.

I need a replacement.
Keep me posted.

Yes, sir.

(board rattles)

Watch me, mom!
Yeah, I see ya.

I did it, mom!
(chuckles) yeah, you're
Doing a good job, honey.

(cell phone rings)

(ring)

Captain houston.

Oh, good morning, captain. This
Is lieutenant colonel sherwood.

Uh, listen, I need
A staff duty officer

For the morning.

I know you're scheduled
For the night exercise,

But I'd like
To make a switch.

Can you report at 1100?
(sighs) yes, sir.
No problem, sir.

Outstanding. Thank you, captain.
We'll see you at 1100.

Roger that, sir.
Change of plans, buddy.

Mama's gotta go to work,

So we're gonna take you
To aunt lottie's, okay?
But I wanna ride my bike.

I know. Well, you can ride
All day tomorrow.

Come on. Let's go get you
Cleaned up. Come on.

I know it's strange,
Getting a new team leader

So close to deployment,

But sergeant sullivan's
Promotion means

You're stuck with me.

Of course it also means
I'm stuck with you.

Now we're gonna get to know
Each other very well

In a very short period
Of time, beginning now.

Our goal is
To train together,

To fight together

And to come home together.

We clear?

(soldiers) yes, sergeant!

Good.

Now what we got
On tap today...

Perimeter defense exercises
With claymore,

Followed by a ruck march
Through area "J"

In full battle rattle,

Ending
With an obstacle course run

And a live-fire exercise.

Grab your gear.
Be back in ten.

Dismissed.

(man) so what do you think
Of sergeant silver star?

(giron)
I guess we'll find out.

(soldiers chuckle)

Specialist sherwood.

Ohh.

Yes, sergeant!

I just want to say,

I'm looking forward
To serving together

With a member
Of the sherwood family.

Thank you, sergeant.
Of course that means I'm gonna
Have to be extra vigilant,

Keep you in line.
Understood, sergeant,

But my father's bark's worse
Than his bite.

Yeah, it's not your father
I'm worried about.
Roger that, sergeant.

(denise) yeah,
Just keep his head elevated

Until the paramedics arrive.
They're at the door now? Good.

You're welcome, ma'am.
Good luck.

9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

(rock music playing on radio)
(boy) my mom.
My mommy's not moving.

You gotta help me. Hurry.

H-hey, wh-whoa. Slow down.
Um, what's your name, please?

Taylor.

T-taylor?

Taylor,
What's your last name?

You gotta help my mom.
She's hurt.

All right, uh, taylor,
Just tell me where you are.

I'm in the car. It crashed,
And she won't wake up.

(sighs) uh, taylor, I-I need you
To turn down the radio.

(beeping)

Taylor, are you there?

Taylor?

(sighs)

(woman's voice) no one is
Available to take your call.

Please leave a message.

Um, mr. Edmunds.

Now I don't know what to do
With this call I just received.

Let's hear it.

9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

(rock music playing loudly)
(taylor)
My mommy's not moving.

You gotta help me. Hurry.

Slow down.
Um, what's your name, please?

Taylor.

T-taylor? O-okay, taylor,
What--what's your last name?

You gotta help my mom.
She's hurt.

All right, uh, taylor,
Just tell me where you are.

I'm in the car. It--it crashed,
And she won't wake up.

Uh, taylor, I-I need you
To turn down the radio.
(beeping)

Auto-recall?
Straight to voice mail.

It's a prank.
You think so?

Boy hangs up, won't answer
When you call back,

He's got a radio or tv going,
He didn't give you a last name.

Probably some kid goofing around
With friends. Happens every day.

So if he calls back,
I should...
He probably won't.

But if he does.

If he does, he'll give you
A little more information

And then hang up again.

These kids just like to string
Us along. Don't let 'em.

Thought you had experience,
Sherwood.

(sighs)

(sighs)

(rock music playing)
Hello?
Where did you go? Hello?

(exhales deeply)

(sniffles)

(seat belt clicks)

(music continues)

(sniffling)

(music continues)

Mom, please wake up.

Mom? Please!

Please! (sniffles)

The functional m.R.I. Confirms

What we suspected,
Colonel burton.

You're suffering
From traumatic brain injury,

Most likely sustained during
Your r.P.G. Incident in iraq.

Dr. Patterson,

I dove behind the humvee
When that r.P.G. Went off.

Now I caught some shrapnel,

But I was mostly protected
From the blast.
Not exactly.

The energy from that explosion
Went through the humvee

And through you.

It literally
Rattled your brain.

Still, that was
Over six months ago.

How could I get t.B.I. Now?

You didn't.

I-I suspect the symptoms
Have always been there.

You simply
Didn't notice them

Or chose to ignore them.

We've found that
Some soldiers with t.B.I.

Can function well in the field
In highly routine tasks.

It's when they come home

And face the challenges
Of everyday living

That the problems
More fully emerge.

Uh, headaches,
Sleep disorders,

Mood swings,
Physical balance issues.

A lot of that overlaps
With p.T.S.D.

That's why I thought she
Could be having a recurrence.

I told you I wasn't.
It's a common misdiagnosis.

The fact is, every t.B.I.
Has unique qualities.

We're talking
About the human brain.

There's still
So much we don't know.

So what's
Your prognosis, doctor?

Well, the good news is that
The injury is diffuse.

And given your mental
And physical health, colonel,

I'd say there's
A good chance for recovery.

Great.
How do we do that? Surgery?

There's nothing
To go in and fix.

The treatment for t.B.I.
Is rehabilitation--

Retraining your brain,
Essentially.

Um, teaching the damaged nerves
To communicate again properly.

But I can still work, right?

Minimally, I'd say we're
Looking at restricted duty.

These therapies take time.

A-and you need to avoid stress,

Which can complicate
Your recovery

And even make
Your symptoms worse.

Stress comes
With the territory, doc.

Yeah, I understand.

Um, your neuro team will meet
Again this afternoon

And send our recommendations
To your c.O.

In the meantime, given your
Physical balance issues,

I'm afraid you're not
Medically cleared to drive.

And there are some other
Short-term guidelines

We should discuss.

(roland) well?

This is good.
We have a diagnosis.

I'll get
A treatment schedule.

Before you know it,
I'll be good as new.

She said the therapy
May take a while, joan.

She also said
I'm in great shape.

And the not driving?
What's the big deal?

I'm used to
Having a driver anyway.

Well, a good attitude's
Half the battle.

Then the battle's half won.

(car alarm chirps)

Well, mr. Driver,
Headquarters, please.

Maybe we should head home,
Get some rest.

I have work, roland.

(sighs)

See your braves win
Last night?

Yep.

Three straight.

(traffic rumbling)

Is this some sort of hazing
Or something?

What?

Well, you've hardly said
Two words to me all day.

Hell, you've hardly said
Two words to me

In the last couple weeks.

I like to stay focused.

56.

Hit it.

(siren blares)

Call it
A mother's intuition,

But I can't get that call
Out of my head.
You try the number again?

A few times.
It keeps going to voice mail.

Check with
The phone company,

Find out
Who the number belongs to?
Yeah.

The name on the account
Is scott hoffman.

Address in springdale.
Well, if the kid
Is with his mother,

Why is he using
A man's cell phone?
Well, maybe the phone
Is in her husband's name.

Mm, I hate to agree
With edmunds, denise,

But it seems like a prank
To me.

But it sounded
Like a child's voice.

It always does, honey.
Trust me.

I have wasted so much time
On prank calls--

But what if it's real?
The kid could be in trouble,

His mother could be
Bleeding out,

And we're just
Sitting on our hands.
(telephone rings)

9-1-1.
What's your emergency?

Yes, ma'am.
(computer keys clicking)

And what--
What's that address?

(explodes)

(multiple explosions)

(man) cease fire,
Cease fire, cease fire!

Range is clear!

Next team, reset claymores!

Now you've conducted
The initial circuit test,

Verified the clacker's
In working order?
Yes, sergeant.

Good. Plant the mine,
Secure the detonator.

And when you line it up, make
Sure you line it up center mass.

Riggs, keep that blasting cap
Away from the mine

Until it's set.
Put it back in the spool.

Riggs, giron, start unraveling
The detonator wire.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on.

(keypad beeping)

Hey! Hey!
Cease fire! Cease fire!

What are you doing, private?!

Don't you know
Cell phone frequencies

Can set off explosives?! Huh?
(grunts)

Are you trying
To get us all killed, private?

Give me that!
We are taking this up ladder!

Get off my range!

Damn.
Dude's a hardass.

(chuckles) yep.

(knock at door)
Colonel burton.

You have that
Deployment readiness report?

Affirmative. I just finished
My section a few minutes ago.

Uh...

Sorry, frank.
It was just right here.

(clears throat)

Is this it?

If it was a snake,
It would've bit me.

Yeah. It happens to me
All the time,

Usually with the car keys.

Thank you.

9-1-1.

Denise, I got your kid--
Line four.

(clicks mouse)
Taylor?

(rock music playing)
Why aren't you here?
My mom needs help!

Taylor, turn off that radio.

I can barely hear you.
(music stops)

(gasps)
You need to come now.

Taylor, I can't send help
If I don't know where you are.

We're in a field. There's
A deer. We--we hit a tree.

Okay, uh, do you know the name
Of the road you're on?

No! We're in a field!
(beeps)

Can you cover me a minute?
I'll be right back.

Okay.

(cell phone rings)

Denise?

Hey. Sorry to bother you.
I know you're busy.

Not really. What's up?

Well, um, I got a 9-1-1 call

From a boy who says he was in
A car accident with his mother,

But I can't keep him on the line
Long enough to--to get

A location, and my supervisor
Thinks it's a prank.
But you don't.

No. I got an address
For the cell phone account.

I was hoping maybe
You could check it out for me.

If the caller's at home,
We'll know it's a prank.

But it sounds real to you?
Yeah, that's my gut.

The boy says
His mother's unconscious.

And if she's been
Out this long, then,

Well, she could be in serious
Trouble. Every minute counts.

Okay.
Uh, what's the address?

2045 sunnymeade
In springdale.

2045 sunnymeade. Got it.

Um, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, pamela.

All right. Let you know. Bye.

(clicks)

(clears throat)

Um, that was a friend of mine
From county dispatch.

And she thinks she has
An emergency on her hands,

But she's having trouble
Confirming,

So she wanted us to check out
An address in springdale.
Unofficially?

Yeah. Well, her supervisor
Won't let her roll units

Without more information.
Yeah, well,
He probably doesn't want

To waste our time
Or taxpayers' money.

Listen, I-I don't--
Uh, not to be out of line,

But my friend wouldn't
Have asked without good reason.

And we're
About to go code 7,

And I know this great
Burger place in springdale,

So lunch is on me.

They have good fries?

Yeah. Sweet potato,
Paprika and cinnamon.

What's the address again?
(engine turns over)

2045 sunnymeade.

Oh, thank you for dropping
These off at mercer, roxy.

Sure.
Happy to help new moms.

You okay?

Um... Yeah.

Just going to the hospital today
Kind of freaks me out.

Why?

It's nothing.

Roxy?

I'm just worried
About trevor,

You know, with this whole
100-day safety thing.

Well, what about it?

No. It's silly.

No. If it bothers you,
It's not silly.

Okay. So if we make it
To a hundred days,

It's gonna be like one big party
Around here, right?
Mm-hmm.

So I went ahead and I ordered

A boatload of shrimp
For the hump,

And now I kind of have
This bad feeling

Like maybe
I jinxed everything.

Nah. You're showing confidence
In the 23rd.

You're betting on success.

That's true.

And I don't think a food order
Could affect field exercises.

(bags crinkle)

Okay. Well, now I feel silly.

No. No, no, no.
Soldiers are superstitious.

Michael wore
The same t-shirt

Every day
When he was in the gulf.
That's gross.

Yep.
And unhealthy.

And in the last week, he's eaten
Nothing but eggs for breakfast.

And trevor always gets dressed
In exactly the same order.

(chuckles)
Soldiers need to feel lucky.

Mm-hmm.
So do we.

So if eggs can work
For michael,

Then I guess
Shrimp can work for you.
Thank you.

Thanks for doing this.
Sure.

Okay.
I'll talk to you later.
See ya.

(engine rumbling)

(helicopter blades whirring)

Damn!
Head in the game, riggs!

Stay alert for enemy contact!
Yes, sergeant.

Giron, weapon points out!

Yes, sergeant!

You just earned the team
An extra mile.

Way to go, giron.

Make it 2 miles!
Come on, gentlemen!

Let's move!

(sighs)

(rings doorbell)

Nobody home.

Well, while we're here,

It wouldn't hurt to do
A little canvassing, right?

Thought you were
Gonna buy me lunch.

Oh, come on. Ten minutes.

Somebody's life
Could be at stake.

Okay.

Okay.

(cell phone rings)

Pamela?

So there was nobody
At your address,

But we found
A neighbor that says that

There's a couple that lives
There with a boy around 7.
Was the boy's name taylor?

She didn't know any names,

But she did say that the husband
And wife were both soldiers,

And that she hasn't seen
The husband in a while.
Deployed?

Or divorced maybe.
Okay. Um, thanks. I-I'll have
Frank look up the army records.

Okay, good idea.
Hey. Tell her if the kid
Calls back, get him to describe

What kind of road he's on,
Any landmarks.
Um, my partner says

If he calls back--
Yeah. No, I heard.
I'm way ahead of him.

Okay. And have him
Step out of the car

And read you
The license plate number, too,

'cause we can use that
To confirm.
Right. Thanks, pamela.

All right. Sure.

(sighs)

(beep)
(woman) sir, your wife
Is on line two.

Hey, d.
Hey, frank. Um, I need your help
With something at work.

All right. What's going on?
Well, I need you to look up
Some information on a soldier.

Okay.

(sighs) who is it?

Name's scott hoffman.

All right.

Major hoffman is
Currently deployed to iraq.

Uh, and--and his wife?

Huh. That's funny.
What?

Well, his wife is
Captain lydia houston.

And I spoke to her
Just this morning.

She was supposed to report a few
Hours ago, never showed up.

Lydia houston. Any children?

Um... Yeah, a son--taylor,
7 years old.

(sighs) frank,
I think captain houston

Was involved
In a car accident,

And her--her son is...

Calling, asking for help.

Well, is she all right?
I don't know.
We can't locate them.

Um, can you tell me if they have
Any relatives in the area?

Uh...

Yeah. She's got a sister
Up in raleigh.

But other than that...

9-1-1. Denise.

Uh, frank, I gotta go.

All right. Well, call me as soon
As you know anything, all right?

I will. Taylor?

(crying) why aren't you here?
My mommy needs help.

Taylor, honey, I-I need
To know how your mommy's doing.

Um, did she wake up?

Yeah,
But she fell asleep again.

She's hurt!

Okay. Look,
I-I need you to do me a favor.

Um, can you put your hand
On your mommy's tummy?
Why?

Because I want to make sure
That she's breathing comfortably

So--so I can tell the people

That are coming to help you.

(sighs and sniffles)

Is it moving up and down?

Y-yeah. A little. (sniffles)

You need to come now!

I just need
A little more information.

What kind of road are you on,
Smooth or bumpy?

Bumpy.

Is it a dirt road?
Yes.

Can you see any houses
Or--or buildings nearby?

No. Just grass.
(train whistle blows)

I-I hear a train.
Do you see any train tracks?

No!

Okay, uh, all right,
Listen, honey.

I need you to do
One more thing.

I need you to get out the car
And read me the numbers

On the license plate.
Can you do that?
(sniffles) but I don't want
To leave my mom.

Okay, taylor, I just need you to
Be brave for me and your mother,

Okay?
It'll only take a minute.

O-okay. (sniffles)

All right.
Let's do this together.

Let's get out of the car
And go to the license plate.

Okay.

(sniffling)

I'm at the back now.

Okay, good. Um, can you read me
The license plate?

P-x-9-1-t-7. (sniffles)

P-x-9-1-t-7, right?

Yeah.

Okay. You did a great job,
Taylor.

Now can you tell me where
You and your mommy were going

When you crashed?
We were
Going to aunt lottie's.

Where does aunt lottie live?

(phone beeping)

Taylor?

Hello? Hello?

(pamela)
So we ran the plate.

It belongs to
A 1998 tan mercury tracer

Registered to a lydia houston.

That's hoffman's wife.

So it all fits.

That's it. Thanks, pamela.

Yeah?

That call I got earlier--
It's no prank.

The cell phone involved belongs
To army major scott hoffman,

Currently in iraq.

He's married
To captain lydia houston,

Who failed to report for duty
At fort marshall this morning.

And she has a son named taylor

Who read me the plates
On the crashed car.

It's licensed
To captain houston.

You contacted the phone company,
Have them triangulate the call?

They haven't
Gotten back to me.
Let me pull a few strings,
Get that pushed through.

Meantime, put out an a.P.B.

Right.
(clicking phone buttons)

(knocks)
You wanted to see me, sir?

Yeah, joan. Come on in.
Please sit down.

(clears throat)

I received
Your medical report

From the neurological team
At mercer.

Yes. I know I have
Some work ahead of me, sir.

(sighs deeply) based on
Their strong recommendations,

I'm ordering you on
Convalescent leave for 30 days,

Pending your next evaluation.

But, sir,
We deploy before then.

Joan, you won't be
Deploying with the brigade.

Sir, I've been training
My troops for months.

They're counting on me.

You're not fit.

I don't know
What they put in that report,

But, sir,
I can function fine.

Yes, I have experienced
A few difficulties,

But they're minor.

Nothing that will stop me
From doing my job.

Your doctors disagree,
And so do I.

Sending you to afghanistan
Would endanger not just you,

But your soldiers.

I know how disappointing
This is,

But you are a valuable asset.

We need you at full health

So you can return to duty
As soon as possible.

This is a serious diagnosis,
Joan.

You need to give yourself
Time to heal.

I know sitting on the sidelines
Isn't easy,

But that's what's happening
Right now, understood?

Yes, sir.

That's all.

(sighs deeply)

The phone company says
The calls were picked up

By only one cell tower--
Here.

Which puts our accident
Anywhere in a 6-mile radius.

That's a big area to cover.
Yeah, but not
A whole lot of roads.

The boy said that they were
On their way to aunt lottie's,

But army records don't show
Any relatives by that name.

Dirt road, deer habitat,
Train tracks nearby--

It's gotta be back there
Somewhere. Hang on.

(pamela) hey. Slow down.

(children speak indistinctly)

Aunt lottie?

(boone)
Afternoon, ma'am.

What can I do for you,
Officers?

Uh, sorry to disturb.
We were wondering

If you know
A boy named taylor.
Taylor hoffman.

His mom called earlier asking
If she could bring him by,

But I haven't seen him yet.

Why, has something happened?

If they were heading to lottie's
From springdale,

I bet captain houston took
Wood road number 2.
Shortcut?

Old logging road,
Good hunting along there.

It's impassable if it rains,

But she could shave ten minutes
Off her trip on a day like this.

(siren wailing)

You gotta help us!
803 to dispatch.
Located an accident. Stand by.

(dispatcher) 803, dispatch.
Please update situation.
You gotta help my mom.

It's okay.
We're here to help now.

Okay, okay.
We will, I promise.
(sniffling)

(boone) I need e.M.S. And fire
At wood road number 2,

One mile west of sycamore.

I have a 10-50,
Single m.V.A. With injuries.
Roger.

E.M.S. Has been notified.
E.T.A. Three and a half.

(whispers) it's okay.
It's okay.

Call just came in.

They found your kid.

What about the mother?

She's breathing.
That's all I know.

(exhales deeply)

(emergency radio chatter)

Hey,
You did great today, taylor.

Your mommy's gonna be
So proud of you.

Okay?

You ready?

(whispers) okay.

Bye.

(ambulance engine turns over)

Great kid.

Yeah.
I hope his mom makes it.

Ah, it's out of our hands.

Yeah.

Well, what about that lunch?
I'm starved.
(siren whoops)

Take a rain check? I gotta
Pick up my kids at school,

Drop 'em off at a friend's.
The ex is out of town.

Excuses, excuses.
Yeah.
Divorce is so convenient.

It was a good day.

Yeah, it was.

(trevor shouts) go, go, go!
(gunfire popping)

(trevor)
Let's go! Move in!

(explosions, glass shattering)

End x! End x!

Weapon safety on!

Nice shot, boys.
Let's go home.

Nice toss, hotshot.
You should see me
With a launcher, bro.

(laughing)
Boys and their toys.
(laughs)

(laughs) hey,
You watch yourself, man.

(gunshot)

No!

(thud)

Medic! Medic! Sherwood!

(ripping vest)
Sherwood!

What is your major malfunction,
Taylor?!

(taylor) sorry, sir. I tripped.
It was an accident.

The rifle just went off.
Medic!

(riggs) is he okay?
(giron) I think he's hit.

I got it, sergeant.

Specialist!

(riggs) what the hell happened?
Specialist! Specialist!

Idiot from team four misfired!
Come on!

(medic) can you hear me?

(groaning) what happened?
You were hit.

(panting) where?
I don't know.
Where does it hurt?

I don't know.

My head.

(men panting)

(jeremy groans)
Whoa! Holy...

Looks like
It clipped your helmet.

Follow my finger.

(panting)

Think you could get up?

(sighs) yeah.
Easy.

Is he gonna be okay?

Still need to check him out,
But I'd say yeah.

Whoo! Looks like this is
Your lucky day, sherwood.

(chuckles) guess so.
(exhales deeply)

All right. I'm wanna make sure
This is handled properly.

Giron, you're in charge.
Roger that, sergeant.

I'll see you back
At the barracks.

(trevor) hey!

Sergeant leblanc--
He's okay.

(chuckles) yeah.
Come on.

You know, dude,
An inch to the left,

You'd have cost us
A day off.
(laughing)

I'm just kidding.
(laughs)

Give me my helmet.
(chuckles)

(all laughing)

(roland) okay, baby girl.

We are home.

(exhales deeply) uh-oh.

Joan,
What are you doing here?

General holden placed me
On convalescent leave today.

For how long?

At least 30 days.

They're not
Letting me deploy.

I'm sorry.

They're overreacting.

But, joan, you heard
What the doctor said.

Yes, I did.

Diffused injury.
Excellent chance for recovery.

That's true. But I'm not sure
You're grasping

Just how serious
This injury is.

(sighs) I'm fine, roland.

You're not fine.

Once you've suffered
A brain injury,

You're that much more
Susceptible to getting another.

I heard the doctor.
Then you heard her say

With each successive injury,
The damage gets worse.

It could become permanent,
Joan.
You trying to scare me?

No, sweetheart,
I'm trying to help you.

Look, this is my field.

And I'm telling you

That the best thing
For you to do right now--

The only thing to do--

Is to rest and to concentrate
On your rehabilitation.

I'm not your patient,
Roland.

I don't need your opinion.

I need your support.

Stop.
Specialist sherwood.

At ease, soldier.

(indistinct conversations)
How'd it go today?

Great, sir.

No problems.
We had a good day.

Glad to hear it.
Glad to hear it.

And your new sergeant?

Solid leader. I like him.

Good. Good.

Very thorough with his
Paperwork, too, it turns out.

You know,
An interesting report

Landed on my desk
A little while ago.

Live-fire exercise,
Negligent discharge.

Now, son, you wouldn't know
Anything about that, would you?

It was no big deal.

It could've been a big deal.

You okay?

Dad, I'm fine.
You sure?

Yes, sir. The doctors
Checked me out and everything.

Something like that
Can really rattle you.

Yeah, but...

It was just a stupid mistake.
It happens.

I've moved on.

Well, good.

You know... (chuckles)

Live-fire exercise
Before my second tour,

Some numskull
Pulls a pin out of a grenade

And then manages
To throw the thing behind us.

You're kidding.
Don't know how he did it.

It's a miracle
Nobody was hurt.

Turns out, the thing rolled
Into a hole before it exploded.

Hadn't of done that,

Well, you know, who knows
What would've happened?

Point is,
Some days you get lucky.

You thank god,
And you move on.

All right?

I never told your mother
About that one.

Thought it best
Not to upset her.

That's what I was thinking.
All right.

As you were.

Thanks, dad.

(engine turns over)

***

So I checked
With the hospital,

And captain houston's
Gonna be all right.

But she got banged up
Pretty good.

She had internal bleeding
And a collapsed lung.

Wow. Sounds like you got there
Just in time, pamela.

Well, thanks to denise.
And you deserve the credit.

The nurse said that any longer,
And she might have died.

And what about
The little boy?

His aunt's driving down from
Raleigh to take care of him.

Well,
You guys were heroes today.
(chuckles)

And, more importantly,
You saved my shrimp.

What?
I'll explain that
To you later.

(pamela and denise laugh)

Hey, thank you
For trusting me.

Are you kidding?

It worked out for me, too.

Boone is finally
Talking to me now.

Congratulations. Nice.

Yeah.
Today was something else, huh?
Yeah.

Well, cheers.

Cheers.

Babe, I am so glad
This day is over. (chuckles)

Yeah, so am I.

You know... (sighs)

When I made sergeant,
It was to become a recruiter.

I never thought
About leading a team

Until I was told
I had to deploy.

But these guys...

They're counting on me
To bring 'em home.

It's a huge responsibility.

Yeah, I get that.

I thought today
Was about testing my men.

But you know what?

It was about testing myself.

And what about you?

What did you decide
With the whole shrimp thing?

I, um, doubled my order.

I figured that I couldn't lose
Betting on the 23rd.

Damn straight.

So maybe...

We should celebrate
Our good luck.

Yeah, okay.

(giggles)

(man) we're lean and mean
And fight to fight.

(soldiers) we're lean and mean
And fit to fight.

Go anywhere
Both day and night.
Go anywhere
Both day and night.

Where bullets fly
And rockets fall...
Where bullets fly
And rockets fall...

We'll stand our ground
And give our...

(sizzling)

(reveille continues to play)

Mmm, pancakes!

Absolutely.

Well, game's over.
Can we talk about it now?

(sighs deeply) we can.

Well, then congratulations
On reaching 100 days.

Thank you.

You don't seem very excited.

(inhales deeply)
No, I am. I am.

It's great for the troops--

Reinforces vigilance,
Pride in unit safety.

Just thinking about joan,
That's all.

I'm sure she understands,
You're only doing what's best.

Well,
Doesn't make it any easier.

Oh, you should've seen
The look on her face

When I told her
She couldn't deploy.

We may have reached
A hundred days

Without a fatality,

But yesterday I lost
One of my best soldiers.

(sighs)

(sighs)

(hinges creak)
