Inside the home, Jassim remained with the family along with one soldier.? The inability to communicate with the family made for some tense sequences as the father needed his medicine for a heart condition and nearly died. Shane Aguero (EJ Bonilla) and the trapped soldiers on the roof were quickly running out of supplies.? Aguero was injured by a grenade but still continued to lead his men. Using flashbacks, Jassim?s story came to life as he sat at a table with his aunt, repeating, ?I should have been there.? She was beaten and robbed, but the American contingent there did nothing to help her.? It didn?t make Jassim (Darius Homayoun) thankful for the US that?s for sure.? When he was later asked if he would be an interpreter for the US, he refused, choosing instead to follow the insurgency.? He was passed over for a higher position but later discovered that being a part of the rebellion had potentially grave consequences for himself and others close to him. The families of the battalion still do not know what?s happened or if their loved ones are okay.? But a different individual was the main focus of the fifth episode: Jassim al-Lani, the Iraqi interpreter embedded within the First Calvary Division. In the National Geographic miniseries The Long Road Home (Tuesdays, 10 PM/9 CT and on demand), the focus has been on the US soldiers during their attempt to survive an ambush in Sadr City, Iraq.? It has not been pretty?several soldiers have been injured and a few have died. Shane Aguero has to make a decision no one should ever have to make.
