I feel sick about those kids
Yeah. Me too. That woman has a lot of nerve blaming our guys for what happened.
Hector says it was messed up.
What does that mean?
Nothing. He just says they could've done more, that's all. Your husband told him to forget about it, there was nothing they could do.
Yeah, well, he was right. Look, they're soldiers. They have to follow orders. And if Trevor said it was the right call, it was the right call.
Yeah I know. I just feel sick about it, that's all.
So do I.
I was talking to Gloria about those kids, the orphans.
Yup.
We were just both saying what a horrible situation it was and I said that you would've saved those kids if you could've, right? [Trevor says nothing] Trevor?
Technically we could've saved them.
What?
I mean, if there was room in the Humvee it would've been tight, but...
I don't get it.
Ok, even we had taken them to the airfield. Then what? We couldn't fly them out of the country.
Why not?
'Cause that wasn't our mission. Our mission was to evacuate Americans.
Yeah, I get that...
Those tribes over there, they all hate each other.
Yeah, but these weren't dangerous gunmen or anything.
People say we're taking sides.
Trevor, these were orphans standing right in front of you, some of them the same age as TJ and Finn!
[snaps] You don't have to remind me! All right?
[quietly] Ok. Sorry.
[pauses, looks at Roxy] It's war, and in war civilians pay a price. Always. Mothers, fathers, children. One time we were on patrol at this village outside Kandahar. Jeremy Sherwood is kicking a soccer ball with this Afghan kid. A few minutes later, a car bomb explodes and this kid and his father are dead. Funny thing is, the soccer ball wasn't touched. You got these two bodies lying there and the ball's perfectly fine.
You never told me about that.
There's a lot I never told you. There's a lot I wish I never knew.
[Roxy and Gloria bring Jackie, who is drunk, back to her house]
[points at house] That's my house.
That's right! We just need to get you inside.
Um, hold on a second...
Ok
[Jackie vomits on the ground right then and there while a bemused Roxy and Gloria look on and grimace.]
It's ok. Denise said that's a good sign. It gets it out of her system.
[Jackie vomits again]
So I guess that's a really good sign huh?
What do I tell him?
Ahh...I wouldn't lie, but don't tell him the truth.
[confused] What does that mean?
You'll figure it out.
[Gloria and Roxy head over to join their husbands]
[concerned] Gloria! Where've you been?
Didn't they tell you? I...I had to go on an errand.
Yeah, what kind of errand?
Uhh....babysitting General Clarke's wife.
[Hector gives her a strange look and laughs]
[laughs nervously] I thought you'd like that. Uh, it was nothing. FRG business.
[nods, offers her the wine bottle] Want some wine?
You know what? [puts hand on her wine glass] I think I'll pass.
