Sarah Koenig: 本集讲述了美军士兵博伊在阿富汗被俘的经历,以及记者大卫·罗德的类似经历。博伊的经历分为两个阶段:第一年积极寻求逃脱,之后四年则更多的是忍受。由于叙述视角局限,难以完全理解博伊被囚禁的具体情况和塔利班及哈卡尼网络的目的。大卫·罗德的经历有助于理解博伊被囚禁的背景和地点,但两者经历存在显著差异,博伊的处境更加严峻。哈卡尼网络是一个复杂的组织,既是伊斯兰民族主义者、军事组织,也从事商业活动,与塔利班关系密切,并受到巴基斯坦的默许。其运作模式类似特许经营,囚犯会被转移到不同的住所,以避免无人机袭击和躲避间谍。关塔那摩监狱的待遇影响了博伊囚禁者的行为,他们以关塔那摩为理由对博伊进行虐待。 博伊: 长期囚禁导致时间感知扭曲,精神状态接近崩溃边缘,但并未真正精神失常。在被囚禁期间,博伊经历了各种各样的虐待,包括被反复用刀片割伤。他通过身体上的痛苦来转移注意力,并多次尝试逃脱。最后一次逃脱尝试失败后,他似乎失去了希望。 David Rhode: 大卫根据路况和路标判断自己被带到了巴基斯坦部落地区。巴基斯坦部落地区并非完全落后,塔利班在此地公开活动,并提供一些基本服务。塔利班与巴基斯坦军队之间存在某种默契,塔利班车辆在检查站无需接受严格检查。与囚禁者之间的对话大多围绕战争和美国在阿富汗的行动展开,缺乏实质性内容。 巴拉克: 巴拉克作为厨师,在偏远地区为囚犯做饭,目睹了博伊的困境,并尽力提供帮助。 巴特尔·萨姆的兄弟: 博伊的囚禁者将他与关塔那摩监狱的待遇进行比较,这反映了关塔那摩监狱的待遇对囚禁者行为的影响。
