Jacob's Ladder

It's too quiet.

There are six patrols out.

Not a peek.

I don't get it.

- I don't like it. - Yeah.

It doesn't make any sense.

I gotta go make a phone call.

Hey, gorgeous.

What's goin' on?

You ready?

What's goin' on, Sam?

Ready to be a daddy.

Are you serious?

- Six weeks. - Yes?

Six weeks.

I take it you're happy.

Baby, happy doesn't even come close

to how I feel right now.

I miss you so much.

Baby, you're breaking up.

Attention on the FOB.

Still falling.

Okay, we got rhythm.

Okay, sinus rhythm is increasing to 80.

Is there a reading on the oxygen?

Dr. Singer? Everything okay?

Thought we lost you there for a minute.

Just, uh, keeping you on your toes.

Somebody has been sitting in my chair.

Somebody has been lying in my bed.

You see the way he just craves knowledge,

like, he, he's-he's so well read and he's just, he...

Obviously, he got that from me, you know?

Yeah, let's hope he gets my sense of humor.

Yeah, well... Yeah. Oh, look at that.

- Look at that. - Look at that.

You laughing.

Look at this, eatin' the book and...

W-we miss daddy.

Do we miss daddy?

Aw...

Mmm.

You okay?

Just... work stuff, but...

much better now.

Right?

Ab-ab-ab.

I'm gonna put him down.

Okay.

Shh-shh-shh-shh.

Babe.

They are lucky to have you.

And so are we.

Hey.

Honey.

Hey.

You okay?

Well, I think you're having some rough dreams.

I'm okay.

Okay, well, hurry up. He-he-he.

I got that client meeting this morning.

Thank you.

Yeah. Okey-do... Okay, okay.

Okey-dokey.

Okey-dokey.

Uh, I'm-I'm not doing so great. I'm-I'm still... You know...

Murph, look at me. Hey.

You're okay.

Like, come see me later

and we'll try and figure something out.

Okay, man. Alright, buddy.

You. Mmm.

Ah, sorry, man. Wa... Shit.

We're overextended here. You know how it is.

You go to war with the army you have, right?

Yeah, except in this case, the war is everywhere

and we're almost out of ammo.

We're holding this place together with duct tape.

Bingo! Alright.

You good?

I'm sleepin' like a baby.

Then I am too.

Oh, listen, if you, uh...

You find any more "Wounded Warriors,"

you know, psychologically speaking

you know, people that need help,

then I might have some more ammo for the fight.

As a trauma surgeon I have no official opinion,

but I will pass that message along.

Well, as your pharmacist,

I have no clue what you're talking about.

But thank you.

Take care of yourself.

You keep up the good work.

- Nurse! - Get a doctor in here now!

Relax, hold on, hold on.

I-I-I need some help!

Come on, come on. Alright, relax, relax.

Give me two milligrams of Ativan right now. Go.

I need you to back up. Clear this area. Now!

Take it off.

Easy, easy.

Good, good. Let's get a gurney. Let's get ready. Go.

- I got it. - Let's get him up.

Good? Let's go.

Okay, hold it.

Jacob...

Jacob Singer.

- Do I know you? - Paul Rutiger.

I was an operator in your brother's team.

We did all three tours together.

No shit.

Well, nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Is... Is there something you wanna talk to me about?

About my brother?

He's here in Atlanta.

- Excuse me? - Isaac is...

P-people listening.

I have to be careful.

Look, whatever it is...

Hey! Hey!

Who was this guy?

I don't know, he just seemed kinda lost.

He's probably out of his mind.

Isaac's been dead for over a year.

You think this guy was on anything?

I think all these guys are taking something.

How else do you escape these fucking nightmares?

Alright.

Well, let me know if you see him again.

I'd be interested to talk to him.

How about you?

- How are you doing? - Good.

Good.

No episodes?

No. Not for years. He's just, he...

Listen, he's got me thinking about Isaac and...

We know you've had issues with your brother...

Not issues.

Hey...

It's Just that our relationship was...

complicated.

What would you say to Isaac if he were here... right now?

I would tell him that I'm...

that I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, Jake. Jake.

We were just talking about you.

You, you-you wanna come out with us?

- Yeah. Come out with us. - Yeah.

Uh, some other time. Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold on.

I, I feel like we never get to hang out anymore, man.

You alright?

You seem like you're somewhere else.

Yeah. No, I'm good.

I'm good. I just, I just came from... seeing the shrink.

Himmelman. You still seeing that guy?

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

Don't let him mess with your head too much.

These psych guys, they-they can cause
