service was your husband?

You served? Really?

Yes.

Come on.

Army, medic. Husband?

You haven't been

listening at all.

What, do I look like

a soldier to you?

She's too beautiful

to be a soldier.

My dad was in Iraq, too.

Really?

Easy, Cass. Easy, easy.

Don't talk like that.

Don't drink that too fast

or you'll get one of those...

ice cream headaches.

Well, tell me about it, soldier.

Not a soldier, doll.

I'm a marine.

That's right.

Marines aren't

soldiers are they?

They're marines.

Proud.

Very proud to be a marine.

Desert Storm,

trained hand-to-hand

combat expert,

part of the team

that launched the first

Patriot missile.

So I mean, there's absolutely

no question I am a

very proud marine.

Hoorah.

Don't you worry

You'll find yourself

Follow your heart

And nothing else

And you can do this

Oh baby

If you try

All that I want

for you, my son

Is to be satisfied

And be a simple

Where'd you go, Grant?

Kind of man

Oh, be something

You love and understand

Baby be a simple

There was a struggle in

the other room as well.

It looks like they fought,

he drowns her,

then he comes in here

and swallows his pistol.

No, definitely not a

domestic squabble.

They were both murdered.

What's with the playing cards?

Must be some kind of a message.

Alright,

get a hold of forensics.

Get them over here.

I want this place gone

over with fine toothcomb.

TVNN has learned of

yet another video

circulating the

Internet by the day.

Even though the

video is censored,

TVNN is warning the

nature of this video

is intended for mature audiences

due to the horrific execution

of 12 American hostages

being tortured and

violently killed.

TVNN apologizes

for the graphic

nature of this video.

Grant, where are you?

These are unidentified soldiers.

If anyone can identify

the soldiers,

please contact the TVNN

help desk immediately.

Roy. ROY!

Something's wrong.

- Over here, buddy.

- Something's wrong.

What's up?

Go to the television, dude.

It's got the executions.

Hold on. Slow it down.

Go to the TVNN site.

I think it's going down here.

You're telling me

that the executions are

happening here in Port City?

- Yes.

- Really?

- Dude, it's happening...

- Have you lost your mind?

Dude, we have something

living here in Port City.

Roy.

TJ, TJ!

Go to the TVNN site,

check it out! Did you see it!?

I did not see it.

I'm telling you...

I don't know what

you're talking about.

- It's going down here...

- I have no idea.

TJ, it's going down here.

The executions,

I think they're happening here.

- Here!

- You've lost it, man.

- You need to believe me.

- You've lost it, dude.

We have something living

here in Port City.

We have something living

here in Port City.

Please calm down

and come back to reality.

Think about what you're saying.

Think about what

you're saying, man.

This is Port City.

The little Port City.

Honest to God,

we're on American soil.

That does not happen

on American soil.

Okay?

No, I know what I saw.

I saw what I saw.

I saw it!

I saw it! I saw it! TJ.

I saw it! I saw it!

It's happening here, TJ.

TJ!

Here,

have some of Suzie's dumplings.

Where's little

soldier boy today?

Daddy, look! It's uncle Roy!

I know it was you!

You did this!

It was you!

Ah, crazy!

I know it's you!

You did this!

Let go of me!

You're not listening to me!

It was you!

- You did this!

- What the hell is going on?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Stop this sh*t right now.

- You did it!

- This is why we don't feed...

- the damn burns, baby.

- You did this!

Stop this sh*t.

B*tch!

Look,

I understand why you're hurting.

You miss him.

I get it, bro.

But you got to snap

back to reality.

Look, go check...

go to the TVNN site,

check the video.

Why would I make

something like this up?

Is that all you've

got to say to me?

Is it?

My daughter is worried

to death about you,

and so is everybody else.

You've been living on the

street for 18 months now.

18 months and this is...

They were killed, okay?

Our brothers.

Something...

something is not right here

in America's backdoor.

Easy, Roy.

No one here is the enemy.

Go on. Go check it out.

Go!

Roy.

Roy, do you understand

what you're saying?

You're accusing our town

of some kind of

homegrown terrorism?

That's nuts.

People we see every day?

People we love?

That's crazy talk, man,

just crazy talk.

I know what I saw.

I know what I saw.

Grant was onto something.

Grant, the man talks to walls.

Don't judge!

Check it out!

Do some police work

instead of being a

party-fighter for the

sake of our town.

Fine. I'll check it out.

But if nothing else

can calm you down...

And yet another American soldier

has crossed the

border to join forces

with the extreme radical

terrorist group

known as the D-Tag.

Making him the 13th

American soldier

to engage with the group.

The soldier's identity

is currently being

kept confidential

for the safety of his family.

Recently, the Death-To-All group

have claimed responsibility

for the latest beheading video

of photojournalist

Tajah Raj of Sweden.

In other world news,

the World Summit Meeting

will move forward

as originally planned

for early-May.

This is the first time

each head of state

will be meeting together

at the White House.

Expect super gridlock

and high volume of security

during this three-day event.

Your sandwich is

almost ready, Tom.

Thank you, sweetheart.

You alright?

It's been a rough kind of day.

My one friend turned up dead

and I had to put another one

in jail, a lot on the brain.

Oh, hi!

Deputy Parks told me

you would be here.

Baby girl, I'll have the usual.

What you up to, Thomas?

Not what you think.

Yeah, yeah right.

Oh, you got the controls.

What, do you own the place?

Home away from home, dawg.

Chinatown, what can I get you?

Classic martini.

Gin or vodka?

Vodka.

Vodka.

Olive?

Twist.

Make it a twist.

You got it.

Ah, Sheriff.

You remembered my drink,

impressive.

How can I forget?

Yes, ma'am.

Brother is gonna be pissed, man.

You know,

the two of you men together

are like schoolchildren.

It's very sweet.

Oh, we've known each

other 32 years.

32 years?

Man, you never could count.

It's more like 42.

I've known you since

kindergarten.

I'm the only black

friend you got, man.

Sheriff,

Kenny and I talked and...

we don't want to press charges.

This poor man has

been through so much.

We don't want to

damage him anymore.

Maybe he should see a

doctor or something.

That's very nice to hear.

I got to get going-

Donna,

you got that sandwich ready?

It's right here, Tom.

Let me get a round of

tequilas for everybody.

You got it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Alright. Drink up, everybody.

Have a good day.

See you, Thomas.

Have a nice one, dawg.

Hey?

Suzie?

Suzie?

Suzie?

Oh, hi.

What are you doing here?

Are you okay?

So thoughtful.

What are you doing?

What the hell?

Let me go

and I'll tell you!
