Welcome to the Homecoming Transitional Support Center.
This is Craig. He is our life skills counselor.
You'll be meeting him
in roleplay exercises and improv exercises.
-(soft laughter) -And-- I know.
Don't worry, you'll love it.

And you've already met Reina.
She's on the desk.
Uh, look out for her. She's a beast.

And, like I said, I'm Heidi.
Homecoming is a safe space
for you to reflect on your service
and think about what comes next.
I can't wait to hear your stories and talk to you
about where you see yourselves in the years to come.
Does anyone have any questions I can answer?

Hi, Pam.
What's going on, Thomas?
-Um, I left a message. -I got that.
-You're at the facility now? -I am, yes.
And the waitress is there. She's destroying evidence?
She's, um...
I may have misinterpreted her location.
What does that mean?
She doesn't seem to be here.
So she's not destroying evidence?
Well, she did steal an envelope, I believe.

I know you.
I can't imagine what
you're feeling right now-- the-the memories, the guilt.
And, look, I owe you an explanation.
I'm the one that brought you here,
the one that gave you this job.
But we were caring for these men.
There was a lot of responsibility.
They were in bad shape.
And, look, we moved too fast, things got away from us,
but-but none of us set out to hurt anybody,
nobody wanted that.
But somebody from the outside-- they don't give a shit
what it is that we were trying to do.
How do we even explain this?
I'll tell the truth.
The truth?
And-and what's that?
That-that you ran everything?
That every day you were with these men,
making sure they complied.
-But you... -No.
I've never set foot in this place.
That's the truth.
You need to let me help you with this, okay?
Can I do that?

Yeah, I'm here. I'm investigating the complaint
that you... Which we take very, very seriously.

I hope you'll admit it was mutual, at the very least.

Look, I'm sorry that you had to see this, okay?
I'm embarrassed for all of us, really.
Um, so if we could just have a little privacy.
Okay? Man to man.
Well, I'd like to take statements from you both,

Because I have to file this.
You have to file... What are you talking about?
This is personal, man. This is a spat.
You told me you didn't know Heidi Bergman,

And now you're here. With her.

Okay.
-So how does that make sense? -Make sense?
It doesn't.

I can practically see that wheel in your head
spinning really, really slow.

No. Don't apologize to me.

In fact, you want to arrest me, huh?
Here. You want to arrest me? Come on.
Arrest you? No. I don't want to arrest you.
No? Why, 'cause you can't?

So I can just walk to my car over there, get in it,

And you can't do anything about it.
No.
