Bud, did you get the lab report on the Jelke court martial?
Yes, ma’am. It’s on your desk.
Oh, bad idea, Bud.
Why, ma’am?
Don’t put things on my desk. I’ll never find them.
Where should I put them?
Not on my desk!
There was a prisoner-of-war camp there in '70.
Now, how would you know that, commander? You'd be barely old enough to tie your shoes.
My father's MIA. I've been looking for him since I was old enough to tie my shoes.
(about his Dad) He was a strong man. Once on a fishing trip, he accidentally fell on a scaling knife. We were miles from any hospital. I watched him sew the wound up with a bass hook. He didn't wanna frighten me, so he told me shaggy dog stories while he was doing it.
You and your father must have had some relationship.
I didn't know him that long.
Well, he sure had a major influence on you.
Most parents influence their children. Your father, I take it, was a liar.
I grew up in foster homes.
Well, that would give you a reason to resent those who came from stable ones.
You didn't murder those men, Roscoe. You need to let go of it.
I'll tell you what, commander,you stop looking for your father and I'll let go of it. You see, we're the same, both obsessed in different ways. You keep searching for a place that I can never leave. It's supposed to be about starting over, beginning a new circle. Can you do that?
You have your closure, Roscoe. I need to find mine.
