to Brentwood.
That`s what I want.
That`s my reward.
That`s the payoff.
You want to go to the InauguraI?
Might if I was asked.
This here, Schumann and us...
Look at that.
King Kong and the trainers.
This is it.
I`m standing with this picture
of Sergeant Willie Schumann.
He`s become known to Americans
simply as the Old Shoe...
This is gonna be a masterpiece.
Giving them what they want.
...his Group 303 and left behind
in enemy territory.
Here at
Andrews Air Force Base...
they prepare for the return
of Willie Schumann.
Sergeant Schumann, if I may,
weIcome to history.
Sergeant Schumann, I`m Ames.
Somebody named Brean?
Right here.
Sign here for me.
Captain,
you want to take her up?
There`s heavy weather back east.
What do you think?
6 to 5 and pick `em.
You want to chance it?
If it`II fIy, Iet`s fIy.
PeopIe are waiting.
A chiId at the airport
breaks through the ranks...
runs to OId Shoe,
rubs meat on Schumann`s cuff.
A IittIe dog runs to it.
The dog Ioves Schumann.
He is a perfect war hero.
Perfect.
You cast him.
AII right. Book it up.
What`s this?
Keys to the manacIes.
Oh, my God.
Wait.
What is the troubIe?
No troubIe at aII, ma`am.
Then why is he in chains?
He`s in chains
because he`s a convict.
A convict?
How you doing?
Take a Iook.
When we asked
for speciaI programs...
they gave us speciaI prisons.
OnIy a one-word difference.
-Has he been in jaiI Iong?
-12 years.
Does he have much Ionger
to serve?
What did he do?
He raped a nun.
-And...
-I don`t want to know an ``and.``
Why is there an ``and``?
He`s fine as Iong
as he gets his medications.
And if he doesn`t?
He`s not fine.
Up there, Captain.
You`d better get us
to Washington.
How are ya?
Fine.
Gonna get me back tomorrow?
`Cause, you know, tomorrow
they`re having beans.
I need a readjustment.
We have to rethink this.
Beans!
We`re trying to do this thing.
As Iong as you
get me back for the beans.
He`s sicker than we thought.
Rush him under wraps
to WaIter Reed for tests.
If you`re gonna keep me out,
I`d Iike to go to church.
You know what I mean?
Are you very reIigious?
What have you done to me?
AII combat takes pIace
at night in the rain...
at the junction
of four map segments.
What are you going to do?
He`s fine as Iong
as he gets his medication.
Speaking of that,
we`re gonna need Iots of this.
Get on the phone and get it.
You peopIe are Iooking
at this wrong.
If you Iook at the back story...
the guy is coming back
from combat and torture...
of course he`s going to be
a IittIe fucked up.
He`s gonna need heIp.
Anybody want a beer?
`Cause I couId party.
I`m gonna need an ambuIance.
We take him the Iast moment
from the pIane.
We Iand, take him
from the pIane to the ambuIance.
Air Force jet Iands, we take
somebody eIse from that jet.
What the fuck do I care?
Somebody in a hospitaI gown.
You get me back for the beans.
`Cause tomorrow`s the beans.
`Cause this dog
ain`t gonna hunt.
He`s gonna be fine.
Aren`t you, WiIIiam?
Speaking of which,
I have a prescription here.
I want you standing by
with a Iot of this stuff.
A crate of it. It`s...
Anti-psychotic.
The number is V--
This is nothing.
I used to think
I was a pharmacist...
the stuff I carried.
With the beans, you can teII
if they`re puttin` stuff in it.
So you don`t have to fear it.
What kind of stuff?
What do you mean,
what kind of stuff?
He just wanted to know
what you meant.
Did you mean?
-I didn`t.
-He didn`t mean.
-He didn`t mean anything.
-You meant something.
He didn`t mean anything.
Give him another piII.
What the fuck do you mean,
what kind of stuff?
PiII, WiIIiam.
This is nothing.
Did you ever shoot in ItaIy?
Try three starIets swacked-out
on Benzedrine and grappa.
This is nothing.
This is a waIk in the park.
Who are you?
Who are you sons of bitches?
-KiIIers!
-Just caIm down.
Where are you taking me?
Oh, my God!
Sergeant Willie Schumann
is coming
