Sarah Koenig: 本集探讨了鲍尔·伯格达尔逃兵事件，分析了事件的多种可能性，包括鲍尔是否真的为了拯救队友而离开部队，以及他是否事后编造了理由。节目采访了鲍尔的战友、家人和朋友，并对鲍尔的动机和行为进行了深入分析。鲍尔的一些战友不相信他的说法，认为他与阿富汗当地人或塔利班有联系，或者只是单纯的逃兵。节目还探讨了鲍尔在海岸警卫队服役期间的心理健康问题，以及他加入军队的原因。最终，节目没有给出明确的结论，而是呈现了事件的多面性，让听众自行判断。
Bowe Bergdahl: 鲍尔讲述了自己的成长经历，他独自在偏远地区长大，与父母关系紧张，缺乏与人的互动。他渴望冒险和体验，试图通过加入军队来证明自己，并找到人生的意义和价值观。他为自己制定了一套严格的道德准则，并对世界和周围的人有很高的期望。在海岸警卫队服役期间，由于难以适应严格的训练和环境，他经历了精神崩溃。他承认自己加入军队是一个错误的决定，并对自己的行为感到后悔。
Mark Boal: 马克·博尔对鲍尔·伯格达尔进行了深入的采访，并对事件进行了长期的思考。他最终相信鲍尔，是因为他了解了鲍尔的思维方式和成长经历，并认为鲍尔的动机是出于好意，尽管他的出发点是错误的。他认为鲍尔并非永久性逃亡，因为他没有带足食物和水，也没有带电脑等重要物品。
Kim Harrison & Kala Harrison & Nick: 鲍尔的朋友们讲述了他们对鲍尔的印象，他们认为鲍尔很独特、聪明、顽皮，但有时也很烦人。他们理解鲍尔渴望冒险和体验，以及他渴望在充满挑战的环境中证明自己的愿望。他们理解鲍尔的动机，但并不认为这是个好主意。他们认为鲍尔有保护他人的愿望，并对世界和周围的人有很高的期望。他们也表达了对鲍尔心理健康的担忧。
Deep Dive
Bowe Bergdahl's explanation for leaving his post was that he was sacrificing himself for his team, believing they were in danger. However, his fellow soldiers questioned this explanation, suggesting he might have fabricated it in hindsight. Several discrepancies arose, including the "guti tent" incident and the fact that most soldiers admired their leaders and didn't find them dangerously incompetent, as Bergdahl claimed.
- Bergdahl claimed he left to protect his team from incompetent leadership.
- Fellow soldiers questioned Bergdahl's explanation, suggesting it was fabricated later.
- The "guti tent" incident cast doubt on Bergdahl's story.
- Most soldiers didn't agree with Bergdahl's negative assessment of their leadership.
