- Greg Smith: Bet you didn't expect such a haul when you requested these files, Davis.
- Lisa Davis: Yeah.
- Greg Smith: Couple more out there.
- Clay Spenser: What is all this?
- Lisa Davis: Hard copy of truck routes out of ports. in Venezuela over the past six months. My plan is to cross-reference the delivery manifests with the Colectivos' GPS data, look for any materials that could be used in nuclear enrichment.
- Clay Spenser: You couldn't farm this out to someone back at Langley?
- Lisa Davis: Well, I came here to prove myself. Delegating hunches doesn't seem right. I don't know if my being here's even been worth it, but... How you holding up?
- Clay Spenser: I'm having my doubts, too... .
- Marc Lee: You know, there are records of warriors complaining about slurred speech, inability to concentrate, depression as far back as 3000 years ago in Mesopotamia.
- Curtis 'Cujo' Johnson: Can't be pissed when it's a risk we signed on for.
- Jason Hayes: You only know half of the story.Taliban retook Afghanistan. Iraq's pretty much controlled by Iran. Terrorists worse than Boko are turning Africa into a forever war. So, do you want to change your answers now?
- Curtis 'Cujo' Johnson: Sounds like you'd be picking at that scab whether we were dead or alive. Did our work have an impact?
- Jorge: Did it mean anything?
- Scott Carter: A guy still running into the fire after years should know.
- Jorge: Fought and died for each other. The men, not the mission. Don't need history books to tell me it was worth it.
- Marc Lee: Psychedelic drugs work by rewiring neural pathways.
- Ray Perry: Friend of ours mentioned research into psychedelics as treatment for TBI.
- Marc Lee: Right. Evidence shows that psychedelics decrease neuroinflammation and increase neuroplasticity.
- Jason Hayes: Could you explain that in English, bud?
- Marc Lee: The rewiring... it allows the brain to bypass scarred tissue and... rebuild itself. It's wild, man, and it works. Former athletes have started companies to work this problem. Hell, DARPA's spending $27 million to develop synthetics with all the benefits and none of the hallucinations to treat vets with neuropsych issues.
- Ray Perry: The science is coming. I mean, be a damn shame if you gave up before it got here.
- Marc Lee: If this stuff didn't work, no way I'd be here.
- Jason Hayes: I'm in.
- Clay Spenser: Science moves fast. There's a breakthrough around the corner. Swanny hadn't given up, he could be in a study right now. There's a lot of promising options out there, man. There's gene therapies, psychedelics, magnetic e-resonance, hydrogels. I mean, there...
- Jason Hayes: I did not sign up to become a lab rat -- You understand?
- Jason Hayes: All right, look, I'm not really into this whole 3000, -year-old history lesson,so, let's go.
- Marc Lee: Short version... war fucked up my brain.I tried a few things to unfuck it up. I had the most success with this.
- Jason Hayes: Soup?
- Marc Lee: It's huachuma cactus, more commonly known by the name of the first Europeans who tried it gave it... San Pedro, after St. Peter.
- Ray Perry: St. Peter holds the keys to heaven.
- Marc Lee: That's right. Those who drink San Pedro reach some sort of... enlightenment. Dissolving your ego to confront fear has a way of balancing you.
- Jason Hayes: Hmm. So you're saying the solution to your problems is drinking some cactus plant that makes you shit yourself?
- Marc Lee: Yeah, you're thinking about ayahuasca, but the principle is the same. Psychedelic drugs work by rewiring neural pathways.
