Yeah, right. Right. Is there Something Else . No. I dont know. How long was he overseas . Uh, 15 months. It was only supposed to be six. And did you speak to him a lot while he was away . Once a week, a couple minutes. You know, we emailed sometimes. He said he was doing okay. Who knows . When he came back, was there any, uh, readjustment period . You know, after being away for so long. Yeah, you could say that. But it couldnt have been easy with him being gone. No. No. Were. You know, were losing the house. So, youve incurred some debts . Yeah, he had a. A business with his brother. They started it six months before he shipped out. What kind of business was that . Uh, Auto Detailing and restoration. You know, hed finally gotten out of the army. Then iraq happened, and he got called up from the reserves. So the business went down while he was away . Along with our life savings. Hmm. Well, who has he been hanging out with lately . He hasnt wanted to see anybody. You know, i was going to do, like, the whole Yellow Ribbon thing, and he said no. The only person he really talks to is Chuck Whiting. And whos that . Its one of his army buddies. He got shipped back last week, too. He lives over in flushing. He was at the house the night before kevin disappeared. Hey. Hey, babe. Hey, hey. What are you two gabbing about . Ah, this and that, nothing much. Yeah . You guys eat yet . Uh, you dont have to cook. Wewe should, uh. We should go out for dinner. We cant afford to go out. Illill make some pasta. You know what . Its all right. Ii should probably get going anyway. Hey, sara, you know you ought to marry this guy, right . Good night, chuck. Yeah, good night. Cant even think about that, huh . About what . Us getting married. In two weeks, im not going to have anywhere to live, and youre going to be 10,000 miles away again. Hey. I promise you. Im going to figure it all out. All right . Im going to take care of it all. Okay. Now that hes gone. I should have just married him danny so, why arent you and your brother getting along, tim . What do you mean . Well, three of your coworkers told me you guys got in a fight. Thats what i mean. Were brothers, all right . We fight. Okay, let me get this straight. He spends a year and a half sweating his ass off in the middle east. He comes back home with a bullet in his arm, and you guys fight . Yeah, well, he wasnt too pleased about the way i handled the money while he was gone. I wasnt too pleased with his attitude. Hey, little brother oh let me look at you when did you get back . Last night . A couple of days ago. A couple days ago . You didnt call me . I went by the shop. Its padlocked shut. The gates up. Whats going on . Kevin. You shut down . The bank took everything in foreclosure. Uh. I mean, i knew it was bad, but. The economy is in the crapper, kevin. Car detailing and restoration arent exactly priorities for people these days. It was half my money, tim. Mine and saras. I know, man. Im sorry. Sara know about is . Yeah. She does. There was nothing you could do from over there. Wewe didnt want to tell you. Werewere losing the house. Moms house. I mean, the bank is going to take that, too. Yeah, well, i aint exactly living in the lap of luxury in my studio apartment. Selling underwear in this place for five bucks an hour aint exactly my american dream. Im sorry. Really, i am. I dont know what else i can say. Danny so that house hes living in thats your moms . Yeah. She died three years ago, left it to him. And you . What did you get . Not much. Kevins always kind of been the favorite son. And how about your dad . Dads, uh, residing upstate. Attica. So you and sara are pretty much all that kevin has in this world . Pretty much. Do you see her a lot . I mean, hes over there. Youre here. Shes lonely, youre. No . No, no. Uhuh. Nice, try though. No. Yo, tim, breaks over. Danny you know, tim, im not feeling that youre very worried about your brother. The guy survived iraq. What kind of trouble is he going to get into here . Chuck whiting was released from service the day after grant. Was he wounded . No. Then why was he sent home without the rest of his unit . Im not sure, and neither is captain meyers. Isnt it in his records . Well, apparently, hes having problems getting a complete report out of baghdad. And youre suspicious . The military . Always. Martin why does meyers bring you in if hes going to hold Something Back . I think he wants us to find grant, but doesnt want us to know why its so important to the army. Well, the fiancee wasnt lying to you. Theyre maxed out on their credit cards. Three payments late on their mortgage. Shes making 21,000 a year. Hes not making much more than that. Its not pretty. Ats not much of a homecoming. If i were him, i might just get into my car and drive and not look back. You know, this guy is not a career soldier. Hes a reservist, and hes been there way longer than he thought he was going to be. My guess is he wanted to get his life back together as quickly as possible. Lets check into his army buddies, see whos stateside. grunts jeff blake . Yeah. Hi. Im special agent martin fitzgerald. This is special agent samantha spade. What can i do for you . Uh, can we have a moment, please . Your friend kevin is missing. What . What happened . Thats what were tryi to find out. Have you seen him since hes been back home . Yeah. He came by here a few days ago. What did he have to say to you . I dont know. Hehe was all weird. I didnt know what to make of it. Weird how . I dont know. Hehe he wanted to talk about what happened in the firefight. He wanted to see what i could remember. Why do you want to talk about that, man . Theres a guy, uh. Captain meyers. Hes been calling the house. Has he called you, too . Yeah, he was here yesterday. What did you tell him . What do you mean . Ii told him what happened, that you saved my life. Thats it . Uh, he didnt ask any strange questions . No, seemed pretty routine. Whats going on . I dont know, uh. Ii guess im just bugging out. Looks like you havent been sleeping too good. Yeah. Tell me about it. You got nothing to worry about. Youre the hero. Samantha and you have no idea why he was so edgy about it . No. And Chuck Whiting was in that firefigh right . Yeah, he was. Have you seen him since hes been back . No. I didnt even know he was back. He still had three months left on his tour. Whats he like . I never trusted him. What do you mean, you didnt trust him . Theres lots of ways to make money in iraq if youre willing to break the rules. Viv, the brothers alibi checks out. He went to work all day yesterday, and then he went to his bowling league. What do you have on Chuck Whiting . Landlord says he hasnt seen him since yesterday morning, and he didnt come home last night. We got local pd stationed at the building. And i just talked to the Bureau Liaison in baghdad. Apparently, theres a lot of questions about that ambush in tikrit. Now, kevins platoon commander has been saddled with desk duty ever since, and pending an investigation, could be facing a courtmartial. And Chuck Whiting was discharged whout arms. And pending an investigation, cphone ringsi g obviously, the army thinks somethings up, but they cant prove it. Or theyre trying to sweep something under the rug. Whatever it is, it all leads back to that ambush. Chuck whiting just showed up at his building, spotted the local pd and took off. They gave chase but lost him. At least we know hes still alive. Hope we can say the same for kevin. Did you know that kevins platoon commander was relieved of his duties . Specialist clay mentioned that to me when i saw him at the hospital. I wasnt aware that youd spoken to clay. Yes, i had. Why didnt you tell me . Because i wasnt sure if it was relevant. What is this, captain meyers, dont ask, dont tell . Agent malone, i cant tell you much if i dont know much. Let me ask you something. Do you believe clays version of the firefight in tikrit . Im not sure. Have you talked to whiting . I tried, but he never called me back. Well, now hes gone. Yes. And that makes you nervous. Yes. cause youre missing a hero . Youre not sure hes a hero now . Because i cant figure out what the hell happened over there. Then why dont you dig deeper . I was supposed to conduct a routine interview to award a medal. But i dont think anybody wants me going to iraq and asking questions. So, why call me . I called you because a soldier is missing, and i think it has something to do with what happened over there. Yeah, so do i. helicopter whirring [ male announcer ] hurry in for labor day deals like 20 off charbroil commercial series grills at lowes. Jake, tell the story, man. This story is horrible.

Special agent beckman. I head up the Counter Terrorism unit for the bureau up here. Nice digs. The cradle of civilization. I know youve got a lot on your plate. I really appreciate you helping us out with this. Yeah, well, i didnt have time to do much, but i did manage to score you a copy of grants file. Nothing but positive reports from his nco seems like he was pretty much a model soldier until last month. Then he had a bit of a disciplinary problem. What happened . Looks like he came to blows with his sergeant. His names macafee. Any idea what happened in that firefight . Well, it looks like the platoon commander, lieutenant cooper, led his troops into an area known to be a hotbed of insurgent activity without ansupport. He drove right into an ambush. It happens all the time around here, but this time, it really looks like it couldve been avoided. All right. Where can we find this lieutenant cooper . Oh, ill take you to him. This way. I screwed up. I screwed up bigtime. We never shouldve been in that area, and im willing to take my lumps for it. According to the report i read, kevin grant was injured on the 13th, but he wasnt released to go home until the 19th why is that . I didnt have anything to do with that decision. Sure you did; your name is all over those release forms. My chain of command felt the man deserved to go home. Its sop. I signed the release. Also, according to that report, grant and whiting were in the vehicle with you that day. Is that correct . Yeah, thats right. And whiting was released from active duty on the 20th, one day after grant, but 90 days ahead of schedule. We suspected whiting was making little looting forays on his days off. Was grant a part of that . I dont think so. Why didnt you guys prosecute whiting . There were only suspicions, and nobody felt it was worth pursuing. Hed done two tours. We sent him home. Have you talked to him since hes been back in the states . No. Im not sure what youre getting at. Why dont you give us your version of what happened in the firefight that day. We were coming back from a patrol for ieds improvised explosive devices. Insurgents rigged them up to look like discarded boxes or rocks. Wed find them, flag them, set up a perimeter and call in eod. On the way back, we got lost, ended up where we shouldnt have been. Things were getting a little tense. Okay, what the hell is this . Lets go. Keep going. Give em the horn. Theyre just kids. Give em a break. I dont. I dont like this. horn beeping move on. Lets go. Out of the way. Lets go. Go on. Move on. horn beeping gunfire get back to the back truck gogo go glass breaking grunts i got. I got you. I got you, clay. Wounded i know hes hurt pretty bad. Oh, my leg oh, my. My foot you got to go get my foot get my foot hey, hey, this is your ticket back, soldier. Youre going home. Its all right. Kevin it was my fault. I made the call, and im taking the heat. What was your relationship like with kevin grant before the incident . I liked the kid. He was a good soldier and good to have around. Telling stories, quoting movie lines. Kept things light around here. So, uh, no problems . No. You dont consider him getting into a fight with his sergeant a problem . If i had a nickel every time these guys get in a little scrap. 20 years ago, hed go to the brig for that. Yeah, well, were a little shorthanded here. Coopers doing a pretty good job of martyring himself. Too good, dont you think . Yeah, i wonder. Talk to this sergeant macafee. Find out what he and grant were fighting about. Im going to talk to the other men involved in the ambush. Okay. Special agent johnson. Vivian . Greetings from tikrit. Hey. Hows it going there . Oh, yeah. Its fun. Its hot. You wearing your spf 40 . Fifteen. Im going to come back from here with at least a suntan. Whats going on with Chuck Whiting . Well, we think he changed cars. State troopers responded to a call about a stolen buick at a rest stop off route 90. They found whitings oldsmobile in the same parking lot. What about forensics . No sign of blood. No foul play. Wheres this rest stop . Just outside of buffalo. Looks like he was headed for the border. Think we have enough for a warrant on whitings . Yeah, martins over there right now scouring the place. stepstool banging so sergeant, i hear you got into it
