yeah, he's dead too.

And you blew off your legs

in the process. Follow me.

Again, leavey.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

-Where are you going?

-Following the perimeter.

-He's pulling towards the desk.

-But I thought there was

a search pattern.

Forget the search pattern,

leavey.

-He's showing a change,

all right? Listen to him.

-Okay. Rex, seek.

Follow him.

Okay, seek.

That's it. That's it.

He's on odor. Present higher.

-Praise him, leavey. Praise him.

-Good boy. Good boy.

Good.

Okay, this is

a good detection dog.

There's nothing wrong with him,

so it must be you.

What are you

doing wrong?

Everything you feel

goes down leash.

Okay? Everything.

If you're not confident,

then he's not confident.

I could train the heck

out of you, leavey, but...

I can't teach you

how to bond.

Okay?

Okay.

Good work.

-Okay, he's just nervous.

-These aren't nerves.

Shh.

I've been watching this dog

all year.

He's the most aggressive dog

I've ever treated.

He can't deploy

without this exam.

Hey!

I'll have to sedate him.

Shh, shh.

Rex, calm down.

Calm down.

Come on.

This door always

stays closed, okay?

Hey, Alice, Tucker.

All right, go find Walters

and tell him I want

Tucker's cleaned out again.

Yes, sergeant.

Hey.

Good girl.

Leavey, wrap his leg.

Show him you're not afraid.

Yes, sergeant.

Rex, sit.

I mean... lay down.

Rex, lay down.

Stay.

I'm just gonna wrap your paw.

Good.

Just...

Here you go.

Good, good.

If you ever get into trouble,

you're gonna want me

to know how to do this.

Hey.

I didn't...

I didn't ask for Rex.

I didn't even want him.

Yeah, well,

i did want him.

So don't get him killed.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

Rex, sit.

Oh. Good.

We're shipping out

tomorrow.

We are so

not ready for this.

But... people

are counting on us

and if we do it wrong,

people die.

So we gotta do it right.

Okay?

Tomorrow, beginning the moment

you step off that bird,

you must act,

trust your training,

trust your partner,

trust yourself.

Hoorah!

And remember,

everything you see,

hear, taste and touch

over these next seven months

will remain with you

for the rest of your lives.

Make it count.

You okay, leavey?

Yeah, I just

can't find my ka-bar.

-It was in my stuff and now i--

-it's behind you.

Thank you.

Look, it's okay to be

freaking out right now.

All right? It's normal.

I did. Everybody does.

You'll be fine.

You got this.

And I wanna hear about

all the asses you kicked

when you come back.

Not if, but when.

Okay?

Okay.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Rex, shh. Quiet.

You're fine.

Hour of silence, leavey.

I'll settle for 30 minutes.

I'm sorry.

It works for birds.

Shh, shh, shh.

Hey, I know.

- Hey, it's okay.

- I know.

You don't know where we're going

or what's gonna happen

when we get there.

I know it sucks. But we're

in this together, okay?

Shh, shh, shh.

It's okay.

It's okay, buddy.

I got you.

We're on final.

Be on the ground in ten.

Get your gear together,

strap in.

Get ready for landing.

0h-ho!

All right.

Okay, listen up.

Where's Marion and Peters?

Sir!

Your vehicles

are right over there.

You're going to camp perditha.

-Leavey, Jones.

-Yeah.

Your convoy's waiting for you

right over there.

You're going to camp ramadi.

The rest of you,

follow me.

Hey, don't forget.

No matter how bad it gets,

could have been out there

sniffing bombs with a tin can.

True.

Be safe.

Okay.

All right?

Hey, good hunting.

See you later, idiots.

Adios!

Awoo!

At least

we got a single, right?

Sometimes it actually

pays to be a girl.

Mmm.

Don't be scared.

Hey.

Oh, great.

You wait to get to Iraq

to find your inner puppy.

Up, up, up, up.

Good boy. Good boy.

Yes, that's a good boy.

Good boy.

Oh. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Good boy. Good boy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's a good boy.

Relax, boot.

It's outgoing,

not incoming.

Ain't that right,

chico, huh?

Thanks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

ooh.

Settle down.

Ow, man!

Let's go.

Come on.

Move it along.

Yeah, move it along.

Hurry up.

First day of school, bud.

Wish me luck.

Pretty sure

they sell loofahs

in the gift shop.

Oh, actually, no.

They bombed the gift shop.

Well, that's too bad.

I like loofahs.

I'm Matt morales.

I'll be your tour guide

today.

Megan leavey.

Who's that?

This is chico.

Chico, sit.

I trained chico

to lick the enemy

to death.

Nice.

So, where you from?

New York.

Oh, yeah?

Me too.

You're not

a Yankees fan

though, right?

Born and bred.

Oh, come on.

Dagger to my heart.

Really?

Well, I guess

we'll never speak again,

Megan.

Chico, we don't talk

to Yankees fans, right?

Good boy.

This is corporal morales.

Morales,

Lance corporal leavey.

Morales will

drop you at the ecp.

Then he's off to sadr city.

So you'll be on your own

till we can get

another team out there.

Just try and keep your dog

from overheating.

Okay.

Last female handler

got her panties in a pretzel

'cause we don't

allow girls on missions,

just checkpoints.

That gonna be a problem

with you?

Not at all.

Good.

Dismissed.

Panties in a pretzel.

Mmm.

Thought we weren't

talking anymore.

I was talking to myself

right there, but I'll

give you another chance.

And if you mention

the Yankees again,

we're done.

Staff sergeant Jarvis

is a real charmer though.

Last week he told me

he always liked my people.

Dad's puerto rican,

my mom's Scandinavian.

Who do you think he was

talking about, huh?

The scandinavians,

obviously.

Right. That's what I thought.

Welcome to

the capital of sh*t.

What's with

all the dogs?

Strays.

Full of diseases.

Keep 'em away from your dog.

Shoot 'em if you have to.

Here's all you need to know.

Don't search

till they're out of the car.

Make sure

they open everything.

Remember, Iraqis,

they don't like dogs.

It's in their religious

teachings. And they

damn sure don't like ours.

There's a bounty

on canine handlers

and an even bigger bounty

on female canine handlers,

which means they'll

probably wanna kill you.

Unless they wanna bone you.

Or they might wanna bone you

and then kill you.

And if one of them

pulls out a cell phone,

boom, you're dead.

Aside from that,

it's pretty chill.

Seriously, be smart.

Keep your head on a swivel.

Heightened awareness.

Okay.

Go, go, go.

Get to the line.

- You need to have fun.

- No complaints, bro.

See ya.

Hey, keep everybody moving.

Jones, move his truck.

Rex,

you want some water?

Bandini, tell that guy

to cut his engine.

Turn your engine off.

- Let's go, let's go,

let's go, let's go.

Ask him the reason

for traveling today.

I'm heading to Baghdad

for business.

You speak English.

Yes.

Better for business.

Hey!

Cut your engine off!

I told you

to turn that bike off!

Lift your shirts.

Come on, turn around.

Come on.

Leavey, clear the car.

Open the trunk, please,

sir.

Sh*t.

Jesus, bandini!

- I told you

to turn that bike off!

Get up! Get up!

Stand over here!

Lift your shirt!
