Are you all right?
Brother.
Stay with me. I'll be right back.
Hey! Brother!
I'm going to die.
No, no one's going to die.
Hey!
Bro, remember the first day of training?
What'd we do?
Talk to me, man!
Hey.
Give me this.
Keep pressing on this.
Don't close your eyes, man.
I can't, man.
Bro!
Bro.
Bro, open your eyes. Open them.
Open your eyes, man.
Come on.
No, no...
Bro.
THE WAR AT HOME
Quique, I know now's not the best time to talk about this
and I understand you just got back from the war
and that you don't need the extra worry, but...
but I can't keep hiding this.
I want a divorce. I don't love you anymore.
Am I doing a good job?
You're doing great.
You sure?
Yes, but now comes the hardest part.
Is there another man in your life, Rosie?
Tell me the truth.
-Of course not. -Swear it!
It's the truth!
No, Walter. I'm scared he'll hit me.
You need to do this.
Easy for you to say.
You're not the one lying to his face all the time.
I can't do this anymore. I'm ashamed.
Besides, if Quique finds out, it'll be worse for us.
Want me to talk to him? I'm not scared of him.
No, that'd be insane.
He almost killed a man once for catcalling me.
Then what are we going to do?
Let's see how he's doing when he gets back.
He might come back with mental issues.
I could use that to justify my divorce.
Okay.
You know I'm going to miss sleeping next to you.
I'm going to miss something else.
Really?
Yeah.
Rosie.
Rosie!
Rosie.
I'm home, babe.
Surprise!
Welcome back.
He's all yours.
-Welcome home, honey. -Thanks.
We've missed you so much.
Son, I'm very proud of you.
Welcome home.
I missed you two very much.
Walter.
Go to him.
Be right back.
What's up, man?
I was wondering when you'd say hi.
Come on, man.
I'm glad you came back safe and sound.
I asked my mom to light a candle for you many a time.
I guess her prayers kept you safe.
That and the bulletproof vest.
That too.
Honey, are you hungry? The meat is ready.
Oh, I'm hungry... for you.
All in due time. Your parents are here.
You want a beer?
Sure. Thanks.
Go talk to them.
Hey, you're beautiful.
You look 20 years younger.
Oh! Don't exaggerate.
And you're still strong as an ox, right?
Well, it's the good life.
Lots of exercising, not much food, and zero stress.
Quique, your beer.
-Oh. -Go.
-Thanks, man. -Cheers.
Cheers.
Remember what I asked you to do before I left?
How could I forget?
So?
Rosie didn't go out much this year,
not even with her friends as far as I know.
Every time I called or visited
she was either at work or at your place.
She really is the best wife.
Well, I don't know if I should tell you but...
Don't worry. It's nothing.
What is it?
It's nothing. Forget it.
Walter, what is it?
I saw your neighbor leaving here very early the other day.
I'd told Rosie I'd pick up her car from the mechanic.
I thought it was weird
that he was leaving at that time of the morning.
It was like he'd spent the night here.
Son, be honest with us.
Are things as ugly out there as they say on the news?
Honey, don't ask him those things.
I want to know.
It's fine, Mom.
Things are worse than in the news.
We'll rid a village of the Taliban one week
and they'll be back the next.
The enemy is very hard to pinpoint.
Boy and girls get mixed up with men and women.
How awful!
The war will never end.
That's why I think we should get our boys out of there
and let them deal with it.
Yeah, but we'd have to...
Today's your lucky day.
Your neighbor chose not to press charges.
Officer, it was just a jealous tiff.
My son just got back from the war and he's on edge.
I'm sorry, sir,
but that doesn't give him the right to attack other people.
You need to learn to control your impulses.
You're home now.
I have friends who ended up in a bad place.
You're a veteran?
Yes, and I understand how you feel.
If this sort of thing happens again,
get professional help.
Take care.
You've no idea how much I've thought about this moment.
Without your letters or your calls,
I swear I would've lost my mind.
I love you.
I love you too.
Did you miss me?
A lot.
Hey, I'm sorry about today.
Sometimes you scare me.
Don't say that, Rosie.
I just hadn't seen you in a long time
and seeing that guy touching you and flirting with you...
He wasn't flirting.
Okay.
Fine.
I just want to be with you.
What's wrong, honey? Can't you?
No, nothing's wrong.
Honey, you're probably tired.
I'm not tired.
Maybe you're stressed.
I said there's nothing wrong!
I'm sorry.
This has never happened before.
Good night.
Marcos, when did you get here?
I was discharged from the hospital today.
Why didn't you call me?
I forgot your number, man.
I haven't called your wife. Does she know you're here?
I don't think so. How are you doing?
I'm exhausted.
Really?
Confused.
Ever since I got back, I hear these sounds...
How's Rosie? She okay?
Yeah, I guess.
She's acting strange, though.
I don't know what's gotten into her.
But you know what?
I've decided to concentrate on finding a job.
I think it's the only way to get the war out of my head.
Quique, who are you talking to?
Honey, remember...
I'm tired.
Let's go to bed.
I'm sorry. I can't.
What is it? What's the matter?
I can't concentrate.
I can't stop thinking about Quique.
I feel terrible.
Are you serious?
You're gonna act like a saint now?
That's not it.
I don't love him anymore,
but it's one thing to cheat on him when he's gone
and another to cheat on him when he's home.
Then divorce him. You have no other choice.
I can't. I'm scared of him.
I caught him talking to himself last night.
I think he's lost it.
Rosie, I understand how you're feeling,
but you need to do something.
The other day I saw on the news
that a woman killed her war veteran husband.
He'd beat her and force her to have sex with him.
She couldn't bear it so she stabbed him.
Quique.
Quique...
Quique, what are you doing?
Nothing. I'll be right there.
Lunch is ready.
I said I'll be right there.
I made you your favorite. Orange juice.
Thanks.
It tastes weird.
The oranges were maybe a little sour.
What are you doing today?
I have to swing by the employment agency
I was told about.
I need to find a job or I'll go crazy in here.
Well, I have a doctor's appointment,
so I'm on my way out.
No, no...
What?
You're not going to the doctor's.
Uh-huh.
I want to make up for last night.
You hold on to those urges until later.
No, I'm ready now.
But I'm not, Quique.
I said no, Quique!
