All language subtitles for The.Long.Road.Home.S01E04

Previously,
on The Long Road Home.

We take two convoys in.

Rescue 1 will make contact
with the platoon and extract.

I'll take Rescue 2, I'll
be 15 minutes behind you.

Come on, we're Oscar Mike.

I'll, ride
in the back with the men.

Don't mess around, get in.

No, I'm good.

Thanks, Miranda.

Apparently, there's some chatter about
an attack going on in Sadr City.

He'll be fine, they
will all be fine.

How can you know?

Lancer 6, we spent about a third of our
combat load on the initial ambush.

If the enemy comes back, we will not
be able to hold them off for long.

Lancer 2, Comanche 6,
we're about to have contact.

Taylor.

I have a rendezvous with Death
at some disputed barricade.

When spring comes back with rustling
shade and appleblossoms fill the air,

I have a rendezvous with Death.

When spring brings back
blue days and fair.

Custommolded?

You're making that up, Corporal.

Well, almost all parts in Sovietmade
antiaircraft guns until the '70's.

Nothing was standard so each of
these fit only the gun for which

it was made.

The factories only made
a set number of parts.

You ran out, you ran out.

Now this stuff is just rustin'
junk all over Eastern Europe.

The Russians supposed
to be telling us that?

Well, I guess no more than we're supposed
to be out there drinking with them.

So wait.

What would have happened if the Russians
would have run out of parts during

the actual war?

I guess they would
have surrendered.

Corporal, we should have
known about this years ago.

Man, it is peaceful here.

Man, it's hard to believe anybody would
wanna kill people when it's so peaceful.

Well, they did, no
one even knows how many.

Now the survivors can't
stop murdering the perps.

I say let the people
get their payback.

I mean, why not?

Because when does that end?

When everyone here's dead?

It sure saves us a trip.

Come on, man, you're
too young to be that cynical.

You see that flag
on your shoulder?

You know what that means
to the people here?

It means for the first time in a
long time, they can walk outside

and see a soldier not be afraid.

That their kids can
sleep safely at night.

That for the first time since the
war, the world makes sense again.

There's a future.

You're a true
believer, Corporal.

Corporal!

Bogey approaching.

You know the drill, just tell
them to turn around, there's no

vehicles through here.

It's a woman.

Ma'am, this road's closed.

Ma'am, you speak English?

There's no passage through here.

It's dangerous, you
got to turn back.

Get an interpreter on the horn.

Everyone relax.

Corporal.

Ma'am, you need
help are you hurt?

Ma'am, what's wrong?

What's she carrying?

Robert, you were dreaming.

Yeah, it's all
right, it's all right.

Was it the same
dream, was it her?

Go back to sleep Bel, I'm fine.

God knows 'twere
better to be deep.

Pillowed in silk and scented down, where
love throbs out in blissful sleep.

But I've a rendezvous with Death
at midnight in some flaming town.

When Spring trips
north again this year.

Please, just talk to me.

Nothing left to say, all right?

I've said everything, okay?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, here.

- I don't need that.
- Come on, I need to know... -Don't need that.

I need to know
you're safe, please.

I don't wanna fight, okay?

I wanna remember
your face like this.

It's not fair.

All the plans we made.

I love you, Robert, but
this, I can't, I can't.

Yes, you can.

I love you, Belinda forever.

That our convoy or
Rescue 1 in contact?

Probably both, just
cover your sector.

- Fire's heavy, get ready.
- I got a bad feeling, man.

Just stay close.

You'll be all right, man.

Here we go, my
mans, right into the shit.

We need to move him.

Hiller, get him off that seat so we
can get this vehicle going or the

whole convoy's
gonna get trapped.

Yes, sir.

All Warrior Elements,
this is Lancer 6:

Abort your approach,
Route Copper is blocked.

I repeat, abort your approach.

The hell?

All Warrior Blues, Blue
5, why are we stopping?

We're in a kill zone, over.

Sergeant, there's a vehicle
down at the head of the convoy.

- Get us around.
- Yes, sir.

How you doin', Spicer?

Me?

You're the one
that's all messed up.

We can't hold them
off much longer, sir.

Let's go, let's go, let's move.

Let's go, what the...!

There you go, come on Gumby.

Sir, you're wounded.

It's fine, Lieutenant,
Spicer patched me up.

All Comanche Whites,
Comanche Six:

All elements regroup on Route Aeros for
casualty assessment and evac, over!

Stop truck.

Abort, back up, back up!

Holy shit.

That's right,
I'm a G, you can't touch me.

I'm good, I'm good.

Warrior Blue 1,
Lancer 6, do you copy?

We are trapped in a mobile.

Blue 1, do you copy?

Lancer 6, we're trying.

The convoy is blocking us, over.

It's no use Colonel.

Red 1, Rescue 1 has aborted
for casualty collection, over.

Comanche 6, how bad is it, over?

Everybody will live,
don't worry about us, over.

And Colonel Volesky,
Rescue 2, over?

Still in heavy contact,
taking casualties.

That's the fire
you're hearing, over.

They may still get through.

If not, I just need you to hold
down the fort a little longer.

Can you do that for me, over.

Roger that, over.

Comanche 6 out.

I'm cold, lock one ammo.

I'm out of ammo too, sir.

- We clear, everyone good?
- Yeah. -Garza, I'm wet, I'm wet.

Bad news, homie.

You either pissed your pants or
your canteen didn't make it.

I told you we'd be fine.

I think you just saved
our lives, Sergeant.

We ain't out of nothing yet.

Let's move.

All Warrior Elements,
Lancer 6, follow us out.

Any vehicles still battleable
and without urgent casualties,

regroup with
Comanche 6 on Route Aeros.

Everyone else, evac
to War Eagle, over.

He was having a baby boy.

Sir?

He was having a baby boy.

Hang in there, Cason.

We did well,
didn't we, Sergeant?

Yeah, we did well.

You ain't afraid, right?

Hell, no, I ain't afraid.

Well, I ain't afraid
either, Sergeant.

Tell Allison I wasn't afraid.

We weren't alSadr's real target.

We were bait.

Like when assholes set off a little
bomb and wait for the first responders

to detonate the real one.

They ambushed us to draw out
the rescues and mow them down.

Now they're going to
come for us for real.

We're just rats in their maze.

Our guys are on the
way back, Sergeant.

Yeah, they better
get here quick.

It's going to be
dark within the hour.

And we got no night vision gear.

No.

It's an almost full
moon tonight, right?

That will provide us some light.

Hey, we just got to
hold on a little longer.

That's it.

Yeah, right.

Sergeant, they'll be here.

How the hell's anyone supposed to
navigate with this stupid thing.

Shit, Sergeant.

Pull over, pull over.

Why are we stopping, Miranda?

Engine's been hit.

Everybody off the truck
and set up a perimeter.

Roger that, sir.

Told you I had a bad feeling.

We're standing here now where

as you can see the flood waters have
finally receeded amidst all this debris...

- Belinda.
- Mom, what's the matter?

CNN just said there was
an ambush in Baghdad.

Four soldiers dead.

What?

They said Sadr City.

Isn't that where Robert is?

- Where is it? - It was just on.
- Maybe somebody else has it.

No, how can be there nothing on?

What'd they say, an ambush?

Four soldiers dead, what else?

I don't know, I
just came to get you.

And you're sure
they said Sadr City?

I think so, yes.

God.

What do you think?

Radiator tank's cracked.

I can seal it but we're going to have
to refill it, or we're not going far.

Of course we don't have a radio.

So now what, we walk home?

We're safest here now.

So you can fix it, you just
need a coolant, is that right?

Water would do.

Water, okay, hey,
gather up your canteens.

Bring them over.

No, that ain't enough.

All right, there's got
to be water somewhere, right?

One of these buildings
has to have it.

Hardly anyone here has running
water, but you got a point.

What are you thinking?

There's got to be a public
spigot or something in the area.

You guys wait with
the truck, all right?

No, you can't go out alone.

It's no use risking more lives.

No, I volunteer, Sergeant.

You need someone
to watch your six.

Yeah, I'm coming too.

We can't fix the truck, we're
just sitting ducks out here.

Yeah, all right.

Grab the canteens, let's go.

We need help right now.

Get him out, let's go.

You should sit down.

I'll check your
injuries in a moment.

It's not my blood.

What can I do to help, Captain?

Please hold this sir.

Are you ready, Specialist?

- Is it bad?
- Hey, you're going to be okay.

Well, get him sedated.

We'll suture right here.

Sergeant Butler.

We got this, sir.

Sir?

I'm sorry about Cason.

I know you two were close.

Thank you, sir.

Did all the badly
injured make it back?

We're missing a truck, sir.

Miltenberger's.

- What happened?
- No one knows.

He was the last vehicle.

Must have gotten stranded.

We can't raise him?

He's got no radio.

Thank you, son.

Mom, we rode all the
way down to the pier and.

Mom, what's wrong?

Come sit down, both of you.

There was a news story.

- Not about dad?
- Yes. -No, we don't know.

- What did it say?
- Shh, this must be it.

Sadr City section of Baghdad.

One Iraqi has reportedly
been killed and many wounded.

Iraqis are said to be fighting with
rocketpropelled grenades and AK47 rifles.

Two US Humvees have
been set on fire.

Meantime, the cleric whose supporters
have staged these protests,

has issued a statement calling on his
followers to end their demonstration but

urging them to
"Terrorize the enemy."

That's it?

Mom, there was nothing
about Americans dying.

Dads all right, right?

Mama?

Your daddy is okay,
of course, he is.

Gannon, Jacee, go set the table for
lunch; You all must be hungry.

- But grandma.
- No, go on now, go on.

What is the matter with you?

You are scaring them.

He tried to tell me but
I didn't believe him.

Tell you what?

Robert knew he
would die over there.

He knew it.

Are you sure this
is the way Sergeant?

Just keep your eyes
on your sectors.

I swear its all that
guy knows how to say.

So what made you sign
up for this, man?

Felt like it was either
going to be this or jail.

I'm seriously starting to
rethink that right about now.

What is it Sergeant?

Damn.

What now?

This is good, this
has got to be water.

Okay, here we go,
hand me the canteen.

Sir, we got everyone
ready to go out, you ready?

I'm not coming back with you.

You got two gunshot
wounds, you've lost blood.

I have a plan I wanna try.

Martin, up across,
Young, you push forward.

Let's go.

And then we go all the way around to
route Silver, and take that to Delta,

and then attack south.

We keep the Bradleys in front and hopefully
we'll have the crusader tanks back

in the fight by the time
we reach the target area.

What do you think, over?

Major Six, Brother Troy
that's a solid plan.

But before you launch, I need you
to try to find Miltenberger.

He's got an almost full
platoon on an unarmored LMTV.

We can't risk having two units stranded
in an enemycontrolled city, over.

- Roger that sir, over.
- Godspeed brother, six out.

ead, who are the wounded?

They said at least 40.

We want their names.

If everyone could
just, just please quiet down.

I'm sorry, we don't have any information and
I have to tell you that even if we did,

I couldn't reveal names until all of
the next of kin have been located.

Understand that these rules
are in place for a reason.

We all know information spreads
quickly, especially wrong information.

So, as hard as it
is right now...

We want the names
of the wounded.

Everyone, we are all anxious.

I am anxious, and so is Leann.

Our husbands are in this too, and we
don't know anything about them either.

I had Merrick right before
this deployment started.

And Troy had just a few days
with him before he had to go.

We all have things that make this so
hard, each of us, different things.

I promise, as soon as we're
able, we will contact you.

So please, go home so we can reach
you and hopefully, with good news.

Hey, hey don't spread
wrong information?

You were the one who told us
we had nothing to worry about.

I know and I'm sorry.

You said we were family,
that you were here for us.

I am here for you, we both are.

Then help us, tell us
something, anything.

- I can't.
- You're just a liar. -Come on, Lupita.

Come on.

Everyone's just upset.

It's all right.

If it helps them to be angry with
me, if that takes away even just

a little bit of her pain,
I'll gladly take it.

It's crazy, but you know
what I keep thinking about?

When I was 16, my dad used to make
me stay up and wait for my sisters,

and they go on dates.

I was the only boy and he had to work
night, so that's how it went, man.

I used to scare the shit out
of them when they got home.

Like, God, they used
to get so mad at me.

You know what else I've
been thinking about?

It's what we should do when
we get out of here, man.

Yeah?

Yeah, I always wanted
to open up a guitar shop.

- Guitar shop?
- Yeah. -You even play?

I'll learn shit.

Why not, man?

We'll just hang out and
play some awesome tunes.

We could get my dad involved, you know, like
make it a whole little family business.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I mean that, I never
had a brother before you, so...

Movement.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
don't shoot us, dogs.

We got cold drinks.

How's the coolant tank?

It should hold.

Back on Copper, when you ordered
us to stop and back up,

how did you spot those guys?

I couldn't see shit.

Just lucky, I guess.

I guess we'll know soon.

Yeah.

That book won't stop
no bullets, you know.

Yeah, I know.

Let me guess, a Bible?

- Nah, just poems.
- Porn?

You got...

- Poems, like poetry.
- Pornetry? -Poetry.

Poetry.

Well, why would anybody
carry poetry around, bro?

It'd be better if it
was some ass, for real.

Hey look, it's Alan Seeger.

The, the American poet, joined
the French Foreign Legion to,

fight the Germans
in World War I.

All right, I dig that.

Go ahead, let me hear
the one you like.

Go ahead, bro.

All right...

"I have a rendezvous with death
and some disputed barricade,"

when spring comes back with rustling
shade and appleblossoms fill the air.

"I have a rendezvous with death, when
spring brings back blue days and fair."

That's the one you like?

Okay, you're twisted
Young, officially.

It's dark, I know it's got
a note of hope in it, though.

Did Seeger come back from war?

Where the hell are they,
what are they waiting for?

I do not know.

You know, I keep seeing
Chen's face in my head.

Not like, not like in the
courtyard but, you know, on the,

on the plane on
the way over here.

Just, he's was just so peaceful.

I mean, I don't know how,
but, I don't know.

I guess I just, um, I guess I hope
that's how he is now, you know.

Or singing.

The man loved to sing.

I keep trying to remember the last thing
that he and I said to each other.

It was right before we rolled out and
I walked past your Humvee and he was

making fun of Fisk's shave job.

And I said something.

I can't remember.

What the hell was it,
why can't I remember?

You all right, Jackson?

Yeah, I just got
to pee real bad.

Jesus, just go, I'll
watch your sector.

They got me in the fucking face.

Anybody see
where it's coming from?

Fuck.

Okay, I'm pressing now.

I'm pressing now.

Shit.

Hey, Shaggy?

Um, yeah?

Who's driving?

Rello.

Mommy, let's do that again.

Yeah, that was fun, and
what else are we going to do?

Ice cream.

And somebody's gonna
write Daddy, right?

Amber Aguero.

Amber, it's Roy.

Hi, it's grandpa ranger Roy.

Go, go, go, wash your hands.

Hey Roy, what's up?

No one's contacted you?

No.

There's been an attack in Iraq.

You sure no one's
tried to call you?

Um, no, no, I don't think so.

Well,
maybe we shouldn't worry yet.

Roy, what's happening?

Platoon
was ambushed in Sadr City.

Four dead, at least
forty wounded.

Battle still going on.

No one's called you, though.

That's good, it's
probably not his unit.

No, it is, it's his unit.
It's his platoon.

How do you know that?

I just feel it, it's him.

Roy, I have to call you back.

Honey, hey.

Daddy's gonna die
and it's all my fault.

Sorry.

- No, sweetie.
- Daddy's been hurt? -No, no.

Something may have happened with Daddy's
unit but Daddy is such a good soldier.

He knows how to take
care of himself, yeah?

So we don't have to worry.

Daddy's gonna call
us really soon, okay?

It's gonna be okay.

Conserve your shots.

Fire only at confirmed targets.

Talk to me, doc.

How is he?

They shot me in
the fucking mouth.

Hey, no, they didn't, mate.

You just got nicked in the
lip by a fragment, okay?

It bleeds but you're
gonna be fine, all right?

Your hand's gonna be fine, too.

Work with me.

- Bourquin.
- Yeah? -How's Hayhurst?

I got an exit wound.

Do you feel your arm, Sergeant?

Yeah, it's okay.

Shit.

What?

Sir, I think the bullet
dislocated his shoulder.

Take him downstairs.

No, no, I can, I can
use my offhand to fire.

You sure, man?

Yes, yes.

Sergeant, you okay?

I can't breathe.

Doc, you sure he
wasn't hit elsewhere?

I can't, I can't,
I can't breathe.

- Doc, you're sure?
- I'm sure. -Are you sure?

I'm gonna check on Hayhurst.

I'm sure.

I can't breathe.

Okay, Sergeant
Jackson, listen to me.

Listen to the sound of my voice.

You are having a panic
attack, you understand?

You are fine, okay?

I need you to breathe for me.

Slow, deep breaths.

Okay, control it,
that's all you need.

Just slow and deep but one.

Give me one, one in.

Come on, in, in.

Slow, there you
go, there you go.

Give me one more,
there you go, see?

I can't, I can't,
I can't, I can't.

Listen to me, that's
not here right now, okay?

Right now, it's just me and you.

I need you to
listen to me, okay?

Jackson, I need you to
breathe for me, okay?

Just breathe.

Just breathe.

There you go,
all right, see that?

Look at that, better?

I need to be relieved.

I cannot do that,
Sergeant, I cannot do that.

Right now, I need every man and every
bullet on this roof, you understand?

All right look, I get it.

It is hard, all right?

And it is fucking scary.

And when you get back to base, you
could cry, you can break down,

you can ask to be reassigned,
whatever you need, okay?

Look at me.

Listen to me, okay?

But right now, on this roof, my
responsibility is for the safety of all

of these men, okay?

Every one.

And I need you here with me.

You understand?

I need you, you can do this.

Please, sir, I,
I can't, I can't.

Switch with Perry,
send him up here.

Come on, go.

You go, you watch the family.

Jesus, Sergeant.

You all right?

LT wants us to trade places.

Sergeant, are you.

Sit down, sit down, sit down,
you all stay right there.

Sir, I don't wanna sound pessimistic
but how are we supposed to rescue two

platoons with just this?

Swope, Volesky on the phone?

- Yes, sir.
- Grenade!

You okay, sir?

Listen, hey, are you okay?

Can you hear me, sir?

Sir, can you hear me?

Why on Earth would
Robert think he was gonna die?

He had a premonition.

He dreamed it.

It was something that
had happened in Kosovo.

A woman had come
to his checkpoint.

Her baby had been taken during the war and
found in a mass grave outside of town.

She wandered all over the area
carrying the body, beside herself.

Ma'am, let me help you.

Ma'am, you can't go over there.

Ma'am, stop walking.

Don't take another step.

Ma'am, ma'am, stop.

Don't take another step, ma'am.

Let me help you.

Ma'am, stop walking please.

Ma'am, please let me help you.

Stop, please stop
walking, let me help you.

Ma'am, stop.

He later found out what
her last words were.

It's too late.

That dream doesn't
mean anything.

That's what I told him,
but Robert was sure.

Villagers in Kosovo had told him that a
gathering of ravens was an omen of death.

He thought that would be
his sign in Iraq, too.

What the fuck?

Movement!

- Unarmed.
- Let them pass.

"It may be he shall take my hand
and lead me into his dark land"

and close my eyes and
quench my breath.

It may be I shall
pass him still.

But I've a rendezvous with Death
at midnight in some flaming town.

And I to my pledged
word am true.

"I shall not fail
that rendezvous."

Next Tuesday,
on The Long Road Home...

- Stop.
- I don't need an interpreter.

Okay, the streets closed,
there's been a homicide.

Who's been killed?

Whoa, stop!

Nobody moves, sit down!

- Lieutenant, you cannot give him a weapon.
- Take it!

Listen to me, he's
still one of them.

- Sargeant!
- Opening up, do not fire!

- Papa!
- This is insaine!

My God, they're human shields.
