Transcript taped call 9. Cell phone (Falcon) to Iraqi base at Hadithah 13.30 hrs.

Major General Woodman: 'Maybe there isn't a memory stick ... maybe Kurtz was -'

General Falcon: 'Kurtz threatened me. Here in this office. He said he'd go up the hill if I didn't tell the President about the Iraqi reactor. The thing's not live - it can't be - shit our men would know if it was.'

MGen Woodman: 'Our men can't get in there. The bribes aren't enough.'

Gen Falcon: 'Not enough? We could have sent a man to fucking Mars with the money you've used. This is ridiculous. You told me they had access.'

MGen Woodman: 'To the surface perimeter. Not the underground facility'

Gen Falcon: 'I tell you to down Kurtz's helicopter and he survives. Kill him. And no mistakes this time.'

MGen Woodman: 'But -'

Gen Falcon: 'Do it! I want Kurtz dead.'

MGen Woodman: 'What about the two Brit soldiers?'

Gen Falcon: 'Find out what they know and if either mentions Hammerhead or seeing Kurtz alive, kill them too.'

I'm not talking to some bloody shrink.

You told me it was the anaesthetic. You told me it'd wear off - you told me the dreams would stop. The place is terrible. Hundreds of thousands of wounded. Civilians and military. They're in agony and no one cares - there're no hospitals, no medical staff, nothing. I asked to see the C. O. but Leyla says no one's in charge. How can that be? She's an eight year old child what does she know - and she's dead. I told her to get out of my head - to leave me alone. I told her I don't want to go back there. She keeps telling me I'm making myself go back. Shit, who'd want to make themselves go to that place? You'd have to be a sadist to want to go there. I need to sleep, but I can't - I can't close my eyes. If I do they take over - screaming - shrieking - the smell of decaying flesh everywhere. Shit, I feel so tired. I want to sleep.

Look at the bigger picture, Jack.

When the Americans brought you in, you'd lost a great deal of blood and your heart stopped for a couple of minutes while we were operating.
Originally, I thought what you were experiencing was a dream caused by the anaesthetic, but it's going on too long for that. I really think you should see someone professional about this. I have a male colleague in Neurology in England who would be happy to talk to you. I know you're worried about how it will look on your record, but isn't it more important to have this matter sorted? Then you can get on with your life.

No ... it'll be ok.

How would that look on my record? The man thinks he's seeing dead people. They'd stick me in an asylum in no time. If I mentioned Leyla they'd have me arrested.
So, Sergeant Chandler, you dream about an Iraqi girl? An eight year old Iraqi girl.
No, I can't tell a doctor - I can't tell anybody.

Jack, wake up ...

Look at you. You're sweating like a pig. Let me call the doctor.

Sally.

You think you've got problems ...

That bastard Falcon had my chopper downed by FLAG men and ordered a code green on me. I passed something on to you on the Sea hawk, but you were out of it. It's really gonna complicate your life, Brit.

It was our last day - my last tour of duty.

Our Unit was off home the next day. Can you believe it?
We'd done that Hit to Hadithah run for two months without problems then we get ambushed by insurgents as we leave the city. They killed the girl. The rest I can't remember.
I end up in hospital and Robbo's in a coma. I'm having dreams - the anaesthetic, Dr. Caffery says, but they're real - like being there - and I don't want to be there - now way do I want to be there ...
