00:00:41,973 --> 00:00:46,394
WARE [narrating]:
We all have dark places buried within.
2
00:00:49,397 --> 00:00:51,483
I know I found mine...
3
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,861
...in a war in Iraq.
4
00:01:00,449 --> 00:01:03,327
A place inside me I never knew I had.
5
00:01:05,371 --> 00:01:10,876
A place I was led to by my own obsessionwith the world’s most feared terrorist--
6
00:01:12,461 --> 00:01:13,713
[speaking Arabic]
7
00:01:13,796 --> 00:01:17,966
a man who would choose meto be his messenger.
8
00:01:20,677 --> 00:01:22,429
[machine gun fire]
9
00:01:28,101 --> 00:01:32,438
It was 2003, and the Americanswere about to invade Iraq
10
00:01:32,521 --> 00:01:34,732
to oust the dictator, Saddam Hussein.
11
00:01:36,317 --> 00:01:39,070
I was a war correspondentfor Time magazine
12
00:01:39,153 --> 00:01:42,490
sent in to cover the conflictfrom the north.
13
00:01:42,573 --> 00:01:46,911
I’m not sure I can ever tell you whatdrove me to come to this crazy place,
14
00:01:46,994 --> 00:01:50,747
but I loved being a journalist,hunting a story.
15
00:01:50,831 --> 00:01:53,917
-MAN: Here it comes.
-WARE: Where are we going to go?
16
00:01:54,001 --> 00:01:55,836
-To this bunker?
-Uh...
17
00:01:55,919 --> 00:01:57,296
Let’s do it quick, mate.
18
00:01:57,379 --> 00:02:00,132
WARE [narrating]:
I was a small-town boy from Australia.
19
00:02:00,215 --> 00:02:02,426
This was my chance to get out.
20
00:02:03,052 --> 00:02:04,928
[explosion]
21
00:02:05,011 --> 00:02:10,767
I was in my 30s, young and dumb enoughthat war had a false sense of adventure.
22
00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:12,977
I simply couldn’t have been happier.
23
00:02:13,061 --> 00:02:14,521
[explosion]
24
00:02:14,604 --> 00:02:16,231
Fuck me.
25
00:02:16,314 --> 00:02:18,275
-[men laughing]
-Shh!
26
00:02:18,358 --> 00:02:21,110
That one was close.
27
00:02:23,529 --> 00:02:27,074
-Next time, take cover when they fire.
-Yes.
28
00:02:27,783 --> 00:02:32,288
WARE: The forward scout has just told us
he believes another mortar is on its way.
29
00:02:32,371 --> 00:02:34,790
-Where?
-[explosions in distance]
30
00:02:34,874 --> 00:02:38,210
WARE [narrating]:
This was the first day I’d held a camera--
31
00:02:38,293 --> 00:02:40,003
[explosion]
32
00:02:40,087 --> 00:02:44,007
a small, beat-up HandycamI’ve carried with me ever since.
33
00:02:44,091 --> 00:02:48,345
In the end, I shot hundreds of hoursof tape, capturing my war on film.
34
00:02:48,428 --> 00:02:51,348
And in those tapes I found this story
35
00:02:51,431 --> 00:02:54,308
that I guess I’m finally ready to share.
36
00:02:54,392 --> 00:02:58,896
WARE: Do you want to go forward with
this man on the nightly probe? Tom?
37
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:03,610
Tell him it would make for
a great story, but I’d better not.
38
00:03:04,068 --> 00:03:05,737
Ask Mick if he will go.
39
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:09,239
I tell him I’d think about going
with a man I trust,
40
00:03:09,323 --> 00:03:12,785
and I think I trust this man very much.
41
00:03:12,868 --> 00:03:16,413
[gunfire]
42
00:03:24,213 --> 00:03:29,676
The funny thing is, we sit here and take
the exact same risks as these guys.
43
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:31,553
There’s nothing that separates us.
44
00:03:31,636 --> 00:03:34,472
We can be as far in as we like.
45
00:03:34,556 --> 00:03:37,893
We can be journalists.
We can be noncombatants.
46
00:03:37,976 --> 00:03:41,645
That matters nothing to these mortars.
47
00:03:46,859 --> 00:03:48,319
We’re fucking close.
48
00:03:48,402 --> 00:03:50,780
GEORGE W. BUSH:
Saddam Hussein and his sons
49
00:03:50,863 --> 00:03:54,283
must leave Iraq within 48 hours.
50
00:03:55,284 --> 00:03:58,870
Their refusal to do so
will result in military conflict.
51
00:03:58,954 --> 00:04:00,956
For their own safety,all foreign nationals,
52
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:05,460
including journalists and inspectors,should leave Iraq immediately.
53
00:04:05,544 --> 00:04:10,257
Well, right now
we’re in the back of a sheep truck...
54
00:04:11,383 --> 00:04:14,928
...and we’re leaving
the border town of Chamchamal
55
00:04:15,011 --> 00:04:20,225
to drive two hours forward
to approach the Iraqi front line.
56
00:04:20,308 --> 00:04:24,854
We believe we’re maybe three, four days
away from the beginning of the war.
57
00:04:24,938 --> 00:04:28,400
So that we can try and get there
before anyone else.
58
00:04:32,528 --> 00:04:34,655
GEORGE W. BUSH:
My fellow citizens,
59
00:04:34,738 --> 00:04:37,950
at this hour,American and Coalition forces
60
00:04:38,033 --> 00:04:40,911
are in the early stagesof military operations
61
00:04:40,995 --> 00:04:43,581
to disarm Iraq, to free its people
62
00:04:43,664 --> 00:04:46,417
and to defend the world
from grave danger.
63
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:50,170
We spent the night here
under the Iraqi guns.
64
00:04:50,253 --> 00:04:53,381
We received word that Bush
had addressed the nation
65
00:04:53,465 --> 00:04:55,675
and essentially declared war.
66
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:00,681
The Iraqis are not entirely enamored
with Saddam’s secular regime.
67
00:05:00,764 --> 00:05:04,016
However, they support
his anti-American cause.
68
00:05:06,435 --> 00:05:08,146
[whispers] I love America.
69
00:05:10,314 --> 00:05:12,400
[explosion]
70
00:05:13,609 --> 00:05:19,240
WARE [on radio]: All of a sudden, therewas a god-awful explosion just behind us
71
00:05:19,323 --> 00:05:22,075
in what should have been a safe area.
72
00:05:22,159 --> 00:05:24,745
WARE [narrating]: I’m not surewhen things went wrong with me,
73
00:05:24,828 --> 00:05:27,414
but it must have startedon this quiet road.
74
00:05:27,498 --> 00:05:31,585
There’s a journalist who’s been killed
by a car bomb or a suicide bomber.
75
00:05:31,669 --> 00:05:34,588
Probably not a good idea to be here long.
76
00:05:36,714 --> 00:05:41,803
WARE [on radio]: I spun aroundand across a grassy field...
77
00:05:42,887 --> 00:05:47,517
...I saw the fireballand the smoke plume.
78
00:05:47,601 --> 00:05:50,228
WARE [narrating]:
Something inside me changed, seeing this.
79
00:05:50,312 --> 00:05:54,231
The brutality of it,its cruel kind of violence.
80
00:05:54,315 --> 00:05:56,859
The memory of itstowing away in my mind,
81
00:05:56,942 --> 00:06:02,198
coming with me as I collectedthe dead man’s body and sent him home.
82
00:06:02,281 --> 00:06:05,618
And then I went southto the Iraqi capital.
83
00:06:08,495 --> 00:06:10,747
GEORGE W. BUSH:
My fellow Americans,
84
00:06:10,831 --> 00:06:13,709
major combat operationsin Iraq have ended.
85
00:06:13,792 --> 00:06:15,877
In the Battle of Iraq,
86
00:06:15,961 --> 00:06:19,423
the United States and our allies
have prevailed.
87
00:06:24,761 --> 00:06:29,349
WARE [narrating]: When I first arrived inBaghdad, it wasn’t yet a bad place to be.
88
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:31,392
A city under American occupation,
89
00:06:31,476 --> 00:06:34,938
it still had hopethat now things would be better
90
00:06:35,021 --> 00:06:38,108
and the Iraqis would be ableto live their lives.
91
00:06:39,067 --> 00:06:42,319
I felt daunted, still a junior reporter.
92
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:46,365
There were hundreds of other journalistswho had all been here longer.
93
00:06:46,448 --> 00:06:51,287
I was convinced I had arrived late,already behind the curve.
94
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:53,706
I was less afraid of a war zone
95
00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:56,876
than I was terrifiedI’d make a fool of myself.
96
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:01,630
But I was lucky to live herein the Time magazine bureau
97
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:05,884
with other writers and photographers,like the great Yuri Kozyrev,
98
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:08,136
who became my Russian brother.
99
00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:09,179
Hello.
100
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:12,391
And our staff of Iraqiswho were more like family.
101
00:07:13,392 --> 00:07:16,769
At our head was Ali, a grumpy genius.
102
00:07:16,852 --> 00:07:19,689
There was Omar,our conscientious office manager.
103
00:07:19,772 --> 00:07:22,650
-Hi, Mick.
-And Nathan, my young translator.
104
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:25,028
WARE: CIA asked me
to get your photograph.
105
00:07:25,111 --> 00:07:26,321
[laughs]
106
00:07:26,404 --> 00:07:30,240
WARE [narrating]: It was our jobto try to understand what was going on
107
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:34,036
beyond the press conferencesand sound bites.
108
00:07:34,119 --> 00:07:35,788
They were my eyes and ears,
109
00:07:35,871 --> 00:07:39,958
and we were a brotherhood pushing outinto the madness on our own.
110
00:07:40,709 --> 00:07:44,338
I didn’t have time to write my will.
[laughing]
111
00:07:45,381 --> 00:07:49,259
Oh, man. All the time you bring me
to some shit, you know? [laughs]
112
00:07:50,677 --> 00:07:54,222
WARE [narrating]: It didn’t take longto realize that something was going wrong,
113
00:07:54,889 --> 00:07:58,935
that the facade of a successful Iraqwas already coming apart.
114
00:07:59,019 --> 00:08:01,688
FEMALE REPORTER:People are getting hotter and angrier.
115
00:08:01,771 --> 00:08:03,731
MALE REPORTER:An air of desperation.
116
00:08:03,814 --> 00:08:09,987
MALE REPORTER #2: A remote-controlledexplosive set off while US troops passed.
117
00:08:10,571 --> 00:08:13,199
WARE [narrating]:
In this car, a teenage boy died,
118
00:08:13,282 --> 00:08:18,079
shot by a nervous American soldierat a checkpoint near our house.
119
00:08:18,162 --> 00:08:21,540
His brother had been with himin the car when he died.
120
00:08:21,623 --> 00:08:26,753
[in Arabic] Tell those fucking Americans
my brother’s blood will not be in vain.
121
00:08:26,837 --> 00:08:28,839
I’m gonna do something big.
122
00:08:28,922 --> 00:08:32,259
They’ve taken my brother’s life!
They stole his life!
123
00:08:32,342 --> 00:08:35,428
WARE [narrating]: You couldn’t helpbut feel his sense of betrayal.
124
00:08:35,511 --> 00:08:37,096
And he wasn’t alone.
125
00:08:37,180 --> 00:08:38,723
Behind all the Iraqis’ anger,
126
00:08:38,806 --> 00:08:41,893
an armed resistanceagainst the Americans was rising.
127
00:08:41,976 --> 00:08:43,478
It was small at first--
128
00:08:43,978 --> 00:08:48,274
hit-and-run insurgent attacks,shootings and roadside bombs.
129
00:08:50,401 --> 00:08:53,153
But then an explosionrocked our neighborhood,
130
00:08:53,237 --> 00:08:55,406
larger than anything before.
131
00:08:56,407 --> 00:09:00,244
Driving towards it,I had no idea what it was
132
00:09:00,327 --> 00:09:02,663
until I saw this.
133
00:09:02,746 --> 00:09:06,041
[car horns blaring]
134
00:09:06,125 --> 00:09:09,335

at the Jordanian embassyhere in Baghdad.
143
00:09:42,909 --> 00:09:46,121
At least one or two car bombswere involved,

00:09:46,205 --> 00:09:52,169
and it has completely destroyedthe front of the Jordanian embassy.
145
00:09:52,252 --> 00:09:58,341
There are a large number of woundedand a number of killed.
146
00:09:58,424 --> 00:10:00,885
The scene is oneof total chaos, Steve.
147

[in Arabic] What are you filming?
Why do you film the dead?
148
00:10:04,722 --> 00:10:07,142
They’re just removing another body now.
149
00:10:07,225 --> 00:10:09,519
So, people are very emotional.

[sirens wailing in distance]
151
00:10:24,742 --> 00:10:28,454
It was the first suicide bombingever in Baghdad--
152
00:10:28,537 --> 00:10:31,831
a violence worse than anythingthat had come before.
153
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:37,879
No one knew who had done it,but it had only just begun.

00:10:54,312 --> 00:10:57,565
No one has claimed responsibility
for the attack.
159
00:10:57,649 --> 00:11:00,276
WARE [narrating]:
This is when I started obsessing.
160
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,362
These attacks were so dark, so sinister.
161
00:11:04,571 --> 00:11:08,992
I was becoming possessed by the ideaof how someone could do these things,
162
00:11:09,076 --> 00:11:12,162
of the hideous resolvethey must have had in their heart.
163
00:11:12,746 --> 00:11:16,750
And they were out there somewhere,lurking in the shadows.
164
00:11:16,834 --> 00:11:19,961
[man speaking Arabic]
165
00:11:24,215 --> 00:11:27,844
Already fear, like a virus,was spreading.
166
00:11:27,928 --> 00:11:30,555
From town to town,platoon to platoon.
167
00:11:32,682 --> 00:11:36,352
On a stretch of rural highwayknown for roadside bombs,
168
00:11:36,435 --> 00:11:40,773
a kid in a clunker of a carsays he’s run out of fuel.

WARE [narrating]:
It was a false sense of victory.

his men willing to die in nothing morethan an act of glorious defiance.
680
00:44:09,396 --> 00:44:12,900

-[children chattering]

682
00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:32,418
By now, Zarqawi controlledlarge chunks of the country
683
00:44:32,501 --> 00:44:34,628
and he was becoming more barbaric,
684
00:44:34,712 --> 00:44:38,257
bringing his visionof an Islamic state to life.
685
00:44:43,763 --> 00:44:47,265

these men posting notices announcingthe fate of a man held in their car.
687

Accused of informing to the Americans,
688
00:44:56,566 --> 00:44:58,652

He ignored them.

Zarqawi’s worldwas one of unimaginable terror,

718
00:47:51,818 --> 00:47:54,362
There was only one place left to go--
719
00:47:54,446 --> 00:47:57,657
into the very heart of Zarqawi’s power,
720
00:47:57,741 --> 00:48:02,746
to a province called Anbarwhere he’d forged his Islamic state,
721
00:48:02,829 --> 00:48:08,417
to a city he’d made his dark capital,a city called Ramadi.
722
00:48:08,501 --> 00:48:11,796
It was a forbidden placeto a foreigner like me.
723
00:48:11,879 --> 00:48:15,633
The only way in was to jointhe American units stationed here,
724
00:48:15,716 --> 00:48:17,552
fighting for their lives
725
00:48:17,635 --> 00:48:20,887

Fuck.
727
00:48:22,722 --> 00:48:24,433
So bad was the fighting,
728
00:48:24,516 --> 00:48:28,770
the Americans were strugglingjust to keep this one solitary road open,
729
00:48:28,854 --> 00:48:31,982
a road dottedwith five lonely US outposts.
730
00:48:32,065 --> 00:48:35,860
It was the soldiers’ only lifelineto the outside world.
731
00:48:39,697 --> 00:48:42,784
I’d heard there wasa group of marines under siege,
732
00:48:42,867 --> 00:48:45,453
ordered to hold the line,whatever the cost,
733
00:48:45,536 --> 00:48:48,665

Trying to get the go-ahead
to launch that 40 down there.
746
00:49:25,116 --> 00:49:29,537
When we got to Ramadi, the first day--
We had contact the first patrol we did.
747
00:49:29,620 --> 00:49:31,998
We were the first patrol out.

BUCK: We lost three marines
and a corpsman.

You just gotta keep your head up.
755
00:49:54,061 --> 00:49:56,230
Keep on pushing through, you know?
756
00:49:56,313 --> 00:50:00,608
You can’t let yourself get down,
’cause one person gets down and out of it,
757
00:50:00,692 --> 00:50:05,697
then it has a tendency to float
throughout the platoon and the company.
758
00:50:05,780 --> 00:50:08,408
So we... go out there and...
759
00:50:09,534 --> 00:50:13,330
...do the good service
and do what we can to get back.
760

01:06:19,424 --> 01:06:22,302
It was to be his greatest legacy.
1017
01:06:24,012 --> 01:06:28,141
After years of pursuit,the Americans finally found Zarqawi
1018
01:06:28,225 --> 01:06:32,854
where he slept at night,in a small farmhouse north of Baghdad.
1019
01:06:34,355 --> 01:06:37,358
Acting on a last-minutepiece of intelligence,
1020
01:06:37,441 --> 01:06:40,278
two F-16’s were scrambled,
1021
01:06:40,361 --> 01:06:42,613
dropping one 500-pound bomb.
1022
01:06:46,492 --> 01:06:48,077
Then another.
1023
01:06:53,081 --> 01:06:55,500
MALE REPORTER:
The most wanted man in Iraq is dead.
1024
01:06:55,584 --> 01:06:58,629
Terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
is taken out--
1025
01:06:58,712 --> 01:07:01,673
MALE REPORTER #2:
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed.
1026
01:07:01,757 --> 01:07:04,176
Now Zarqawi has met his end.
1027
01:07:05,386 --> 01:07:07,637
This violent man will never murder again.

1029
01:07:14,894 --> 01:07:17,147
FEMALE REPORTER:
On the streets, jubilation.
1030
01:07:17,230 --> 01:07:20,942
He’s called Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,
the slaughtering sheikh.
1031
01:07:21,026 --> 01:07:23,902
Well, no more.
Tonight he is a dead man.
1032
01:07:23,986 --> 01:07:26,822
MALE REPORTER #3:
Baghdad police were ecstatic, singing,
1033
01:07:26,906 --> 01:07:30,910
“Zarqawi, where are you today?
Zarqawi, where’s the terrorist now?”
1034
01:07:30,993 --> 01:07:34,497
WARE [narrating]:
You can only be so hunted for so long.
1035
01:07:34,580 --> 01:07:37,667
But I guess I knew it wasn’t really over.
1036
01:07:38,292 --> 01:07:42,712
Zarqawi’s men kept fighting,and so his holy war raged on,
1037
01:07:42,796 --> 01:07:46,967
the idea he’d unleashedtoo powerful to have died with him.
1038
01:07:49,553 --> 01:07:51,013
-Allahu akbar.
-[gunshot]
1039
01:07:51,096 --> 01:07:53,807
-Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar!
-[gunfire]
1040
01:08:06,944 --> 01:08:10,573
“Certain dark chambersof the heart, once opened,
1041
01:08:10,657 --> 01:08:13,242
can never be closed again.”
1042
01:08:13,325 --> 01:08:15,828
Or so a soldier wrote after serving here.
1043
01:08:22,835 --> 01:08:28,131
I know this is what Zarqawihad done to so many of us,
1044
01:08:28,214 --> 01:08:31,384
to the Americans, to the Iraqis,
1045
01:08:31,926 --> 01:08:33,386
to me--
1046
01:08:34,971 --> 01:08:39,434
showed us recesses in our soulswe never knew we had.
1047
01:08:41,353 --> 01:08:43,605
[explosion]
1048
01:08:43,688 --> 01:08:46,357
I found my darkest place here,
1049
01:08:46,440 --> 01:08:50,277
on a US patrol to sweepa suspected terrorist village.
1050
01:08:56,659 --> 01:08:58,870
-A shot rings out.
-[gunshot]
1051
01:09:00,037 --> 01:09:05,125
Soldiers on the rooftop had seena man running past us with a gun.
1052
01:09:05,208 --> 01:09:07,919
Where’s he at, brother?
Where’s he at?
1053
01:09:08,003 --> 01:09:10,255
Who took that shot?
1054
01:09:40,117 --> 01:09:42,578
He’s gone that way, but he’s still here.
1055
01:09:43,329 --> 01:09:45,414
Right here! He’s right here!
1056
01:09:47,124 --> 01:09:49,751
[soldiers chattering]
1057
01:09:49,834 --> 01:09:53,088
-Back up. Back up.
-Rod, get over here.
1058
01:09:53,171 --> 01:09:55,340
Tell him to show us his hands.
1059
01:09:55,423 --> 01:09:58,844
Tell him he’ll get shot again
if he doesn’t show his hands.
1060
01:09:59,636 --> 01:10:03,724
Tell this dude to show us his hands,
or he’s gonna get shot.
1061
01:10:03,807 --> 01:10:05,934
Hey, people, back up.
1062
01:10:06,017 --> 01:10:08,311
-Hey!
-Get away from him. Good job.
1063
01:10:08,394 --> 01:10:10,938
-[interpreter speaking Arabic]
-Hands!
1064
01:10:15,485 --> 01:10:18,488
-Where’s the fucking weapon?
-[interpreter speaking Arabic]
1065
01:10:18,571 --> 01:10:20,073
Push back a little bit.
1066
01:10:20,907 --> 01:10:23,951
-Push back a little bit.
-Okay.
1067
01:10:24,034 --> 01:10:26,370
Hey, set up over there.
1068
01:10:33,127 --> 01:10:34,586
[speaking Arabic]
1069
01:10:35,587 --> 01:10:38,215
He’s in the process of dying, dude.
1070
01:10:40,258 --> 01:10:41,926
Hey.
1071
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,973
Yeah, he’s fuckin’--
He’s dying right here, man.
1072
01:10:47,056 --> 01:10:48,683
Hey.
1073
01:10:58,150 --> 01:10:59,985
-There’s the weapon.
-Where’s the weapon?
1074
01:11:00,069 --> 01:11:02,363
-Right there behind his head.
-Okay.
1075
01:11:02,446 --> 01:11:05,366
Drag him into the fuckin’ courtyard.
Go. Let’s go.
1076
01:11:05,449 --> 01:11:08,577
-Roger that.
-Kibble. Grab him. Drag him. Go.
1077
01:11:12,122 --> 01:11:14,458
SOLDIER:
What’s up, kid? How you doin’?
1078
01:11:14,541 --> 01:11:16,835
-Not so good, huh?
-SOLDIER #2: Yeah.
1079
01:11:16,918 --> 01:11:19,671
-You got him. You got him.
-Fucked up, bro.
1080
01:11:39,607 --> 01:11:41,359
SOLDIER:
What’s that thing?
1081
01:11:41,442 --> 01:11:43,695
-There’s a gun over there.
-We got it.
1082
01:11:43,778 --> 01:11:46,905
[soldiers chattering]
1083
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:49,700
SOLDIER: All right.
1084
01:11:52,494 --> 01:11:55,623
Hey, did you see where
this motherfucker popped out of?
1085
01:11:57,833 --> 01:12:01,127
-East of route line, correct?
-Fifty meters east of route line.
1086
01:12:01,211 --> 01:12:04,547
-How is he doing?
-Tell them he’s dying.
1087
01:12:07,384 --> 01:12:09,052
Hey.
1088
01:12:11,096 --> 01:12:15,225
Get people on the roof.
Lot of you should be in the courtyard.
1089
01:12:15,308 --> 01:12:17,518
We don’t have a good roof here, man.
1090
01:12:17,601 --> 01:12:19,687
-Yeah, there’s no--
-There’s no roof here.
1091
01:12:19,770 --> 01:12:22,148
We got a flat roof.
1092
01:12:22,231 --> 01:12:24,358
Gentlemen, establish security.
1093
01:12:24,442 --> 01:12:27,612
[soldiers chattering]
1094
01:12:27,695 --> 01:12:29,989
IRAQI MAN:
He works for Al-Qaeda, sir.
1095
01:12:30,072 --> 01:12:31,949
Warning, warning.
1096
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:40,582
[man gasping]
1097
01:12:48,632 --> 01:12:50,383
I got two more right here.
1098
01:12:50,466 --> 01:12:54,470
Hey, you’re about to die, dude.
That was a good idea, huh?
1099
01:12:54,554 --> 01:12:56,139
[interpreter speaking Arabic]
1100
01:12:56,222 --> 01:12:59,058
-Where was he shot?
-I don’t fucking know.
1101
01:13:00,477 --> 01:13:02,812
The head, probably under the fucking arm.
1102
01:13:02,896 --> 01:13:05,939
-Yeah, ’cause it’s coming down.
-You want me to look?
1103
01:13:06,023 --> 01:13:07,441
-No, it’s--
-You okay?
1104
01:13:07,524 --> 01:13:10,653
-Doesn’t matter, man.
-Give him fuckin’ minimal aid.
1105
01:13:11,403 --> 01:13:14,198
Give him fuckin’ aid, but fuckin’--
1106
01:13:14,281 --> 01:13:17,410
I ain’t telling you
to fuckin’ perform surgery.
1107
01:13:21,122 --> 01:13:22,789
-Fuck!
-All right, come here.
1108
01:13:22,872 --> 01:13:25,417
Let’s talk to his fucking family.
1109
01:13:30,714 --> 01:13:32,841
Why don’t you just fuckin’ die.
1110
01:13:32,924 --> 01:13:35,344
Hey, Doc’s coming here. Doc’s got it.
1111
01:13:35,427 --> 01:13:37,679
-Watch out.
-I don’t wanna fuckin’--
1112
01:13:37,763 --> 01:13:39,180
This fuck.
1113
01:13:41,682 --> 01:13:45,812
I ain’t telling you to fix him,
but you need to look at him.
1114
01:13:47,647 --> 01:13:51,192
Take a quick look, Doc.
Not gonna help. He’s fuckin’ worthless.
1115
01:13:51,275 --> 01:13:52,902
He just died. Stopped breathing.
1116
01:13:52,986 --> 01:13:55,070
-He just stopped breathing?
-Yeah.
1117
01:13:56,113 --> 01:13:58,282
Yeah, he’s done.
1118
01:13:58,365 --> 01:14:00,075
Any ID on the guy?
1119
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:03,787
-No. All he had was two mags.
-Double-checked his fuckin’ pockets?
1120
01:14:03,871 --> 01:14:05,414
I just checked ’em.
1121
01:14:05,497 --> 01:14:07,291
Anybody got blankets?
1122
01:14:08,542 --> 01:14:11,169
Get a sheet or something.
1123
01:14:11,252 --> 01:14:13,546
You got ID there, bro?
1124
01:14:13,630 --> 01:14:16,257
Oh, you do have ID of some sort.
1125
01:14:16,341 --> 01:14:19,052
Hey, keep watching outside there, bro.
1126
01:14:20,136 --> 01:14:22,931
-[wheezes]
-That’s just called shock, yo.
1127
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:30,521
[gasping]
1128
01:14:35,609 --> 01:14:39,572
[gasping, louder]
1129
01:14:41,199 --> 01:14:43,534
-Here you go. Good job.
-[gasping continues]
1130
01:14:44,910 --> 01:14:46,745
[soldier laughs]
1131
01:14:49,456 --> 01:14:51,041
[loud gasp]
1132
01:15:02,719 --> 01:15:04,595
[gasping continues]
1133
01:15:08,057 --> 01:15:10,059
SOLDIER: He dead yet?
1134
01:15:12,645 --> 01:15:14,355
He still twitching?
1135
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,775
Yeah. He stopped for a long time.
Thought he was dead.
1136
01:15:17,858 --> 01:15:19,735
He have a pulse?
1137
01:15:19,818 --> 01:15:22,237
You can see his skull and his brains.
1138
01:15:22,321 --> 01:15:26,075
-[man gasps]
-Unless you want to do a CASEVAC?
1139
01:15:26,158 --> 01:15:27,701
No. The motherfucker’s dead.
1140
01:15:29,995 --> 01:15:34,499
WARE [narrating]: Through his gasping,it was my silence I could hear.
1141
01:15:34,582 --> 01:15:38,503
All I had to dowas say something, anything,
1142
01:15:38,587 --> 01:15:40,922
simply clear my throat,
1143
01:15:41,006 --> 01:15:44,968
to force the soldiers to give himthe medical aid they were meant to.
1144
01:15:46,344 --> 01:15:49,096
But I didn’t. I just let it happen.
1145
01:15:49,180 --> 01:15:53,351
No, that’s just twitching and spasming.
He doesn’t have a pulse.
1146
01:15:53,434 --> 01:15:55,770
-He’s alive-ish.
-No.
1147
01:15:55,853 --> 01:16:00,525
Maybe I was just too twisted up inside,the soldiers too,
1148
01:16:01,442 --> 01:16:06,154
the brutality of it all having slowlyshaved away at our souls.
1149
01:16:07,406 --> 01:16:10,534
But I fear it might be more than that.
1150
01:16:10,617 --> 01:16:14,747
They say, “Only the deadhave seen the end of war.”
1151
01:16:17,666 --> 01:16:22,378
Does that mean it lives in all of us,waiting to be found?
1152
01:16:25,131 --> 01:16:28,551
In the end,I spent almost seven years in Iraq.
1153
01:16:28,635 --> 01:16:33,014
But I did make it home,never to go to war again.
1154
01:16:34,265 --> 01:16:36,601
It took time,
1155
01:16:36,685 --> 01:16:40,563
but somehow I learned to reconcilewith myself the things I’d seen--
1156
01:16:40,646 --> 01:16:42,523
The final attack has begun.
1157
01:16:42,606 --> 01:16:44,150
...the things I’d done.
1158
01:16:45,109 --> 01:16:49,655
But I will always knowthat at some unknown place,
1159
01:16:49,739 --> 01:16:51,782
at some forgotten hour,
1160
01:16:51,866 --> 01:16:55,410
I became a man I never thought I’d be.
