The Line (2021) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Once we're set, have them
pull up to their positions again.
See if we can see who's fucking shooting.
Then get at 'em.
The most asinine patrol I have ever done.
Fucking stupid.
A lot of these more
millennial mindset SEALs,
they're used to just playing video games
and just hanging out.
They didn't want to go out to battle.
They didn't want to be put in danger.
They didn't sign up to do the work.
They signed up to get the accolades,
to wear the Trident.
And he called them out for cowardice.
They brought up the petty things,
like, you know
he stole stuff out of the care packages.
He stole my sunglasses.
And I just said, "Well,
just decompress. Take some time.
Either there's a criminal act
or there isn't.
And if there isn't,
you need to let it go."
What you're telling me is
that he put you guys in danger.
He stole some fucking PowerBars.
So I need more, like,
what is it that's bothering you guys?
And that's when, uh, they brought up
the fact that there was
some rules of armed conflict,
armed conflict broken.
Earlier you mentioned
the person was stabbed in the neck.
You guys had that meeting that night
and you said somebody brought up
the term "war crimes."
-Right?
-Mm-hmm.
Is there any doubt in your mind
that these are war crimes?
No.
Uh, any idea of around when
this conversation might have happened?
Christmas, Christmas time frame.
So the 6th of April was the first time
any allegations were brought
to your attention regarding
Gallagher allegedly stabbing the prisoner.
Correct.
