[In a video shot in Afghanistan; GySgt Wilks is driving a Humvee while Cpt. Landis rides in the front passenger seat.]
Captain Landis, what day are we on?
Eighteen. Only 160 to go.
How does it feel to be back?
My God! Like we never left. Home sweet home! [Suddenly alert] We got a contact ahead. Stop the Humvee!
[In the NCIS offices, as the remainder of the video plays]
This is the first time Captain Landis and I met Qasim. We hit an IED during a patrol outside of Kabul.
[In the video, Qasim approaches the disabled Humvee and opens the front passenger door while Cpt. Landis and GySgt. Wilkes are unconscious.]
It is okay. You will be all right.
He pulled us to safety, watched over us until our backup came. He saved our lives.
When was this?
November 2013. Landis tracked him down a few weeks later, asked Qasim to work alongside us as a translator for the remainder of our deployment.
You ever doubt his intentions?
Never. When you serve alongside someone, you get to know who they really are. Qasim put his life on the line for us every single day. He's family.
