Taft and Short Round are ahead of the group and start setting up the devices, Taft tells Short Round to go forward about 40 metres and set up another device.

 
There's an explosion and Taft runs to where it comes from  and finds Short Round blown in half but still alive , from a spring mine that exploded at waist height. Short Round pleads with Taft to shoot him to end his pain, Taft is in pain but shots him with his pistol to end the suffering.
   

The rest of the squad hear the explosion and head in the direction it came from, Percell is on point they soon come across Short Round, they have a look of horror.

 
 Meanwhile Taft has gone to the river looking for the VC , he crosses and comes across a group of VC taking a break , thinking they are safe on the other side of the border, Taft unleashes his pain onto them stabbing one , opening fire and using a grenade.
 

Bravo squad hear the M16 and have a quick discussion , and then head to the border and cross.

They find Taft , just standing still where he took revenge for Short Round. They return across the border and return to base.

Sgt Anderson tells Taft , he might want talk to Dr Seymour.

Alex and Lt Goldman are out later in the evening , but as normal she needs to finish up on a story. They meet up with a business man in a bar. he makes the mistake of asking Lt Goldman what its like for him in the field, Lt Goldman unleashes the days happenings and tells him about Short Round.

Meanwhile back on base Taylor and Percell tell Ruiz and Johnson who have KP duties that they have to go and help Lt McKay , when they arrive at were Lt McKay has his business meeting , what ever McKay is buying isn't there so the guys have time to explore , Percell wants to go and meet the French journalist Jack Fournier at the Golden Dragon.

The MP's are ready to shoot on sight, Dr Seymour distracts and Zeke sneaks in , then she calls out to Taft that's she's coming in to see him ,,they find him with a grenade and he pulls the pin out. Dr Seymour talks him down and Zeke takes the grenade from him.

Meanwhile Fournier has talked the guys into going to see deserters' first hand.  Of course this is not going to end well and Taylor and Percell end up in the hands of some , bad guys who intend to do them no good. Luckily Fournier is allowed to go free.
