00:00You've got to go.
00:02Where do I go?
00:06The soldier had just returned from the battlefield.
00:09On the plane, he was grinning like a child.
00:12After all, he was finally coming home to marry his fiancée.
00:15But when he arrived at the airport, she wasn't there to greet him.
00:19Watching his fellow soldiers reunite with their loved ones,
00:21he stood alone, the weight of disappointment crushing him.
00:24You back from Iraq?
00:26Yes, sir. 11 months and 19 days.
00:28When he got home, the house was empty.
00:31No sign of her.
00:33He immediately dialed her number.
00:35Tracy, where are you?
00:37Where's our furniture?
00:39I'm trying not to freak out, but I just got back and the electricity's off.
00:43My debit card isn't working.
00:46Can you call me?
00:47I love you. Just call me, all right?
00:50A year in the war zone had left him with severe PTSD,
00:53and now he relied on medication just to keep his emotions in check.
00:56This is Tracy.
00:57Please leave a message, and I'll get back to you when I can.
01:00Tracy, where the fuck are you?
01:02The next morning, his phone jolted him away.
01:05A breakup text from her.
01:07Stunned, he desperately needed answers.
01:10So he went to her workplace.
01:12Before long, he saw her walking into the building with another man.
01:15His hand tightened around the gun hidden behind his back as he followed them inside.
