Peewee pulls the hook and drags the person in. He then takes his gun and places it against the korean and pulls the trigger. The sound is muffled so no one hears it. When they leave the cave they see a fisherman looking for his son. Then they both realize they just killed an innocent person.

Thursday: After Richie gets out of rehab for his knee he is moved to a knew base. At that base he finds out he might go into combat. He talks to the SGT. in charge and they tell him they don't have his medical papers proving that he is telling the truth.
