"Previously on Over There." "I'm working my ass off everyday to get back to my unit." "This is your unit." "I'm a soldier." "I took an oath." " You took another oath here." " This has nothing to do with you." "It has everything to do with me." "I am not a cripple." " Hey, if this is a bad time..." " No, no, no." " No, I don't want to make..." " No, don't go." "I've been looking forward to this." "Your mom's a whore." "She gives good head." " Her legs are spread." " Shut up!" "You have to think about where else you can place Eddy." "Place him?" "He is not a job applicant." "He is my son." "Where else you can send him to school." "This is his school." "You're shouting, Mrs Dumphy." "You're an asshole, Mr Howard." "In 5 minutes, I won't be shouting but you'll still be an asshole." "Go to hell, crack boy!" "I said, go to hell!" "I was drinking." "Not proud." "What'd you do?" "The worst things I could do." "Another guy?" "I love you so much." "It's not an answer." "Welcome to the Sober Goddess Meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous." "My name is Claire and I'm an alcoholic." "Hi, Claire!" "Are there any alcoholics in the room?" "What's this?" "Cohiba Esplendido, Sir." "Are you confiscating my cigar, Lieutenant?" "It's not yours, Sergeant." "It's the US Army's." "Isn't it?" "It is now." "Eddy, where's mommy?" "Out with whom?" "But which friend?" "Her..." "Her male friend?" "She sees him everyday..." "Who stays with you?" "They're fish, Eddy." "Ik and Flame are fish." "Now you're right, a mammal's not a fish, Eddy." "At the same time, Ik's stuffed." "So when it comes to childcare, he is even less qualified." "Sergio, I miss you so much." "I feel like we're growing apart." "We're separated by 12,000 miles already but I feel like the real distance between us is just growing everyday." "And I'm afraid, Sergio." "I'm afraid." "I have to say it," "I'm not afraid of dying but I'm afraid of losing you." "If you're satisfied with the message you've left, you may hang up now." "If you'd like to listen to the message you've left..." "She was always troubled, Alicia." "She was a shrew, and that's a fact." "Still don't think you can blame the woman." "Why not?" "She blamed you." "Did you even know that?" "Yes, I did." "She blamed you for going off to war and being part of all that killing." "So she told me." "She believed God punished her for your sins." "Well, she was old." "That don't mean nothing." "She raised us, Alicia." "She took us in." "We owe it to her to think kindly of her." "She committed suicide, Angel." "Suicide is a mortal sin." "I know." "I..." "You know ever since I heard I... try to help somebody everyday." "The way she helped me, that's all." "That's why I try to do in her memory." "Between shooting them dead you mean?" "Yeah." "Just before I shoot them dead," "I ask them if there is any last thing I can do." "Hold on there!" "That's a mean old lady, huh?" "Yeah." "I guess I got mean old ladies on my mind." "I got mean young ladies on my mind." "They got any mean old ladies with suicide bombs?" "No, man." "Just young man." "Young men are the only ones dumb enough to buy the bullshit." "What bullshit is that?" "The bullshit some old dude tells you." "You should die for Allah but I shouldn't." "Must be one hell of a used cars sales around here somewhere 'cause that's some serious bullshit." "As opposed to the bullshit, we fell for?" "Yeah, well, I told you:" "young men are the only ones dumb enough." "Can you grab me some more boxes from the other truck?" "That's enough." "Move away!" "Hold on, we've got plenty for everybody." "Shit!" "Bomb!" "Goddamn you!" "Goddamn you!" "Let's go!" "Let's roll!" "Sergeant!" "You screwed me up so bad!" "Angel's hurt." "Get everybody now!" "Hey, Smoke!" "Angel's hurt." "Let's move." "B rother..." "Angel's hurt." "Let's move!" "Goddamn it!" "Can you go any faster?" "Goddamn it!" "You're not okay!" "I'll tell you when you're okay!" "Okay?" "Get the hell out of here and do your job!" "This is our job!" "This is my job!" "I pick up after you." "What's your problem?" "Death is my problem." "Decapitations and amputations are my problem." "Gunshot wounds and dismemberments and drowning when your own blood fills your lungs is my problem." "What the hell is your problem?" "Are you all right, Angel?" "Yeah, I'm all right." "He's not all right." "He's in shock." "You're in shock, you screaming asshole." "Come on let's go find somebody worse off than you to worry about." "Let's go." "He just called you a screaming asshole." "That's not the worst I've been called." "Shit, that's not the worst I've been called today." "Yeah, but he's Sergeant Scream." "He's known all over the battalion as a screamer." " Sergeant Scream?" " Yeah." "Well, shit!" "Now I can die!" "Come on, move." "Are you okay?" "Stay there, don't move." "It's okay." "Private Dana!" "Private Dana, are you okay?" "I want a perimeter from here to here." "I don't want anyone who hasn't been thoroughly searched anywhere near this site, understand?" "I don't want this evidence contaminated." "The evidence, Sir?" "And I want my men taken care of first." "Understand?" "I want the Americans taken care of first." "They generally try to look at the Americans first, Sir." "But as soon as the emergencies are sorted out, they work with whoever's the worst." "I don't care what they generally do, Sergeant." "I wanna do what I wanna do, understand?" "Let's go." "And set up the man's perimeter." "What's the matter with him?" "He's religious, Sir." "Come on." "I gave orders." "My men were to be treated first." "This woman will die if I don't treat her right now." "The hell with this woman!" "For all I know she could be the goddamn bomber!" "For all I know you could be the goddamn bomber!" "This is insubordination." "No, it isn't." ""Stick it up your ass" is insubordination." ""Get the hell away from me before" "I break your goddamn neck" is insubordination." " I could go on." " Shut up, Corporal." "Eat shit and die, Sergeant!" " You're having a bad day." " I have a lot of them." "Don't go to the brig over it." "The brig would be a relief." "That is the woman who blew us up." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "How can you tell, she blew her own face off?" "I recognize her clothes." "I spot her on the line, I didn't like the look of her." "Well, at least, there's one soldier around here who's paying attention." "Didn't help though, did it?" "I want my men given the medical attention they need." "Now!" "You're an asshole." "But he's an asshole." "He's an asshole and you're out of your goddamn mind." "You're a match set." "What's he saying?" "He's not too happy." "Would you be?" "I'd be ready to kill somebody." "Just like he is." "I hope it's the insurgents who did this that he's ready to kill." "It's not." "You're gonna live, goddamn it!" "Like it or not!" "He's going to hell for bedside manner." "Yeah." "And a kevorkian." "Where's private Dana?" "Where's private Dana, goddamn it!" "He was here a minute ago." "He was hit on the head, Lieutenant." " I know that." " He was pretty confused." "I know he was confused." "He's confused on a good day." "He might have wandered off." "Well, find him, goddamn it!" "I'm not gonna lose a man by actually losing a man." "Jesus Christ!" "Fan out." "Let's see if we can locate the guy." "Oh shit!" "What is it?" "What's he saying?" "He's got private Dana, Sir." " Who's got him?" " The civilian, Sir." "Which civilian?" "Goddamn it Soldier, start making sense !" "The civilian whose son's got his leg blown to shit, Sir." "He wants that medical attention you refused him, Sir." "He wants it now." " What?" " Or he's gonna kill Dana, Sir." "He's taken one of my man's hostage?" "Yes, Sir." "You tell him if he doesn't send my men out of here right now, he's dead and his entire family's dead." "Well, he beat you to it, Sir." "He said you have 5 minutes." "Tell him he's got 30 seconds." "That's great!" "Really, that's great!" "Show him the size of your weapon, why don't you Lieutenant?" "Shut up, Corporal!" "This is better than doing banjos." "Shut up, I said!" "Here's an idea, Lieutenant." "Try to blow his son's leg off, why don't you?" "I spend more time with you than I should." "Me too." "What are we gonna do about that?" " That's the problem." " It's a good problem to have." "So far." " Are you warning me?" " Yeah." "About what?" "That I'm scared." "That I'm afraid of... what I might do." " You're a good man." " I used to be good." "Don't know if I'm good anymore." "I'd like to see just how good you are." "Don't say that." "Look, don't say that, that's all." "I won't." " It's not a game." " I know." " It's not an affair." " I know." "It's not sex." "I gotta go." "Bye." "He gives us 2 more minutes." "Tell him he's not in a position to negotiate." " But he is." " Shut up, Tariq." " I can't translate if I..." " Shut up!" " You have to send a medic in." " It's a suicide mission." " I'll go." " You'll go to the brig." "I'd prefer the mission, Sir." "I don't give a damn what you prefer." "You have to send a medic in." "Permission to speak privately?" "If you have something to say to me, you can say it in front of my men." "This medic is crazy." "And that's exactly what we need." " Thank you, Sergeant." " Shut up, Corporal!" "I wanna send one of my men in there with him." " It's out of the question." " I'll go." "Done." " I said, out of the question." " I said, done." "Permission to speak privately, Sir?" "Must you shout every thing you say?" "Yes, Sir, owing to the fact that I encounter so much deafness, Sir." "Permission to speak privately, Sir?" "Permission granted." "We have to send 2 men in there right now." "This medic doesn't care what happens to him and I hate that but right now, it's the best thing that could have happen to us." "And Angel, even in a fog, is the coolest customer I've got, understand?" "I want the medic in there to take care of the kid." "And Angel in there to take care of the father." "Take care of him how?" "Kill him if necessary, if not get him out of here in flex to us." "Hey!" "We have to make every effort to get private Dana out of there." "We can blast him out right now." "No, no, no." "We can't." "We can't assume the father's home alone." "We can assume he means what he says." "You're asking me to send two more men into a hostage situation in which one man is already at risk." "I'm not asking you to do anything." "I'm giving you the options." "Options?" "What options?" "Well, we can either send in Angel and the medic." "Yeah?" "Or we can sit out here with our thumbs up our asses, Sir." "Ever see E.R., soldier?" " No." " Well, it's fiction." "But they used all the right shit." "They got the bandages right, scalpels right and chat up right." "So?" "So, I gotta do a medical procedure in there." "And we gotta get together on what's called what." "Okay?" "You're gonna have to look like a medic too." "I just want us to get away with this, all right?" " All right." " All right." "So these are the scalpels." "5 different sizes but you don't have to worry about that right now, okay?" "'Cause I'm just gonna ask you for the biggest one or the smallest one." "Okay?" "All right?" "Yeah." "This is the blood pressure kit." " Wait." " What?" "What do we need scalpels for?" "I don't know." "I'm just telling you what's called what, okay?" "I think we should just get in there and see what's what." "Shit!" "You got it worse than me." "What?" "Death wish." "Brother, you couldn't be more wrong." "Yeah?" "You wanna live?" "Dang tooten!" "But you wanna go in there with the crazy father with the M-4." "Sooner we go in, sooner we come out." "Okay." "Okay, screw the scalpels." "We're going in." "Okay, chief." "Coming in." "Coming in." "It's okay." "Everything's okay." "Take it easy, brother." "Shut the door." " Turn around." " Turn around." "Okay." "Turn around." "He needs the bags." "Show him the bag." "Do what I do and shut up." "Shut up, I said." "You've got a pistol in there, don't you?" "You're damn right!" "I thought I said no weapons." "Don't you get the feeling people quit listening to you?" "There's a reason for that." "Your son." "Your son, Sir." "Your son." "Okay." "It's okay." "Fever's bad." "So is this." "What?" "He's got damn good position, cover us all and the door at the same time." "He's got two other civilians in here." "I don't like that at all." "How do they call you, soldier?" "Angel." "I've got a question for you, Angel." "What's that?" "I'm going to bust my ass to save this boy's life no matter what you say." "So feel free to tell me the truth." "Okay." "Is everyone in this room gonna die tonight?" "They're leaving or we ain't working on the boy." "They're leaving or we ain't working him." "They're leaving or we ain't working on the boy." "They leave or we don't work on your boy." "They leave." "All right, all right, all right." "All the way out of the house." "All the way." "It's all right." "2 down." "5 to go." "I'm here to say I'm sorry for shouting at you." "And for cursing at you." "I know you were just doing your job." "And Eddy deserved to be suspended." "And I was a miserable bitch." "And I'm not here to ask for anything either." "Only 'cause..." "Only 'cause..." "I'm not supposed to, because, believe me if it were up to me, I would be begging you to take him back." "I'm sorry." "Can I ask you a personal question?" "One that you'll never sue me or the school district for having asked because I..." "I just never asked it." "Shoot." "Are you a friend of Bill's?" "Are you a member of an anonymous organization that requires that you make amends." "Yeah." "Yes, I am." "10 days." "How do you know what it requires?" "Let's put it this way:" "if there were a secret pen, I'd wear it." "I'll see what I can do to get Eddy back to school, Mrs. Dumphy." "Thank you." " I'm not promising anything." " I know." " It's not up to me alone." " I know." "But I think it'll work." "Things have a way of working themselves out when you're sober." "One day at a time, am I right?" "Negative, Sir." "I'm not sure it was the right thing." "It was a judgment call." "Over." "It wasn't my judgment, it was the Sergeant's." "Over." "Captain wants to talk to you personally." "Sir." "I understand the theory and the idea of limiting our exposure sounds good." "Break." "Particularly in the retail business but in this situation we had to send the two men in and that's a fact." "Over." "Thank you, Sir." "Sir." "Yes, Sir." "Over now." "He says to tell you he has every confidence in your judgment." " I on the other hand..." " Thank you, Sir." "You have two hours." "Either they come up by 2100 or we go in and get them." "Is that what the Captain said, Sir?" "Yes." "You know," "I've apologized to everybody else but," "I haven't apologized to you yet." "You didn't do anything to me." "I called you crack boy." "You did." "And that was a new one." "You're doing fine, Vanessa." "You don't owe me anything." "And as soon as you find a sponsor, I'm going to move on to the..." "To the next case?" "Something like that." "It's The Simpsons." "He's 8." "He's gonna fog." "Jesus, I didn't even know he watched that show." "Is that all right?" "It's all right with me." "It's not too adult?" "The Simpsons?" "I guess not." "Eddy is more adult than Homer Simpson will ever be." "I'm going to go." "I'll take you to the new meeting tomorrow." "Okay." "I can't get it." "I can't find it." "Hang that up." "Give me your hand." " Give me your hand." " What?" "Hold pressure right here." "Just cover that up." "Right there." "I'm gonna have to cut it off." "You're gonna have to what?" "I'm gonna have to take the leg." "Yo!" "Homicidal one!" "I'm going to have to cut your son's leg." "Are you sure you wanna do this?" "It's do him or let him die." "I'm going to have to cut your son's leg." "Don't do anything stupid!" "If I do one good thing in this piece of shit life of mine," "I will save your kid." "I swear to God." "Are you sure you can save this kid?" "Hey, savior!" "Are you sure you can save this kid?" "No." "Why did you swear to God then?" " I didn't." " Yes, you did." "That's funny because I don't even believe in God." "Right." "Put his hand out." "Just like that." "Hold this." "What a lot of doctors would do." "Or used to anyway." "They get more and more into the mysteries of the organism, they can't help feel that there's intelligence organizing everything." "But not you, huh?" "Angel, I've been here 18 months." "I not only don't believe in God anymore," "I don't believe in intelligence." "Don't do that." "Okay, okay, okay, okay." "Both bones in his lower leg are broken and comminuted, fractured." "He may be in 13 pieces each." "Septicaemia may have already set in." "What's that?" "Blood poisoning." "I'm gonna start cutting." "Will you be okay?" "I'm gonna be sick." "You want me to talk while I'm cutting?" "The things you say make me sick too." " Don't make me laugh, all right?" " Okay, all right." "He's gonna shoot me if I laugh." " No problem." " All right." "Here we go." "Put your hand here." "Put your hand here." "Wilde once said there is no evil in the world, only stupidity." "Is that right?" "As far as I can tell, there is more stupidity within a thousand miles of this point where we're standing than anywhere else in the world." "I'll go along with that." "Except for the Congo of course." "And Chechnya." "And Afghanistan." "There's a lot of stupidity all right." "It's going around." "Your mother raised a good man, Angel." "Should be proud." "My great aunt raised me." "She just killed herself." "She hated war but she blamed me." "I assume I didn't pick the appropriate time for this conversation, do I?" "No." "Sometimes when I say whatever comes into my head, I just get deeper and deeper in shit." "Yeah." "It's like a bad neighborhood." "I shouldn't go in there alone." "You could pray." "How could you have bounced?" "Around that explosion tonight?" "Why you asking that?" "Just tell me, tell me the truth." "Just scrambled an egg." "You think that's fooling around, huh?" "Why did you volunteer to come in here then?" "You could have come back to the base hospital for three days for observation." "I talked to the kid who died" "30 seconds before the explosion." "I figured I owed him." "You owed him to come in here?" "No, but you can't always pay the debts to the people you owe them to." "You pay them when you can." "To the others around." "Try to keep the..." "Try to keep the book straight." "Shit!" "You make more sense with a concussion than I do with 3 cups of coffee." "Shit." "Wrap that up." "Wrap it up." "It's good." "It's okay?" "All right." "It's okay." "God!" "I hope this works." "Say it again." "What?" "God!" "Hold him!" "Hold him down!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay, Sir." "We got him." "It's okay, Sir." "Oh no." "I'm sorry." "If it's any consolation," "I wish it'd been me." "I did." "I swear..." "I swear to God." "They're shouting now." "Sounds like back home." "We'll be going in soon." "Why?" "What did he say?" "He says the medic killed his son." " The son's dead?" " Yeah." "Should we tell Underpants?" "No, Angel knows what to do." "That's why the Sergeant sent him in there." "I think we should have sent you in." "You know what they're saying." "No, Angel will let it go until the last second." "He's gonna try to save the guy's life." "And then if he has to... blow him away." "Angel's a soldier, man." "I don't even deserve to hold his skull." "Don't kill him!" "You kill me!" "I killed your son." "You kill me!" "Take one step back, as like you're afraid." "I'm not afraid." "Then take one step back as like I'm afraid." "You're gonna kill him, aren't you?" "If you don't take one step back, I'm gonna kill you." "Move out." "I'm sending them in now." "It's 2100 in case you haven't noticed." "I know the time, Sir." "That's my man Angel in there." " Can I go in..." " No!" "No!" "I've had about all the help from you I can take." "Give me the gun !" "It's okay." "It's okay." "Don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" "Goddamn!" "Shit!" "Goddamn!" "Goddamn, I said it was okay!" "Private Dana's dead." "It's not your fault." "That's the way it goes." "But then..." "I've just... screw everything up." "How would you know?" "You're an angel." "You're all right, brother?"
