Miller wants to get him back home and out of trouble. But Brandon doesn't want any help. He wants to find the assailant, swears to take revenge against those who set him up.

Seeing his determination, Miller teaches Brandon some sniping tricks before the young sergeant secretly leaves the base. Together with Chandler, Beckett makes his way deep into rebel territory. But just when they seem to be making some head way, they're met with a big surprise...
