with me, Major. Congratulatlons. Welcome home. We were worried about you since we got the mayday from Col. Sinclair. We thought you went down with him. Did you find the wreckage? Only parts of it. Scattered all over the Med. We'll escort you to Ramsteln Alr Force base In West Germany. We have a fuel problem. Don't worry. There's a fuel tanker standing by. Major? Can we fly the Missing Man formation for Colonel Sinclair? We're already In posltlon. We'd be honored If you'd ease up front and take the lead. Chappy wanted me to play this for you as soon as we were safe. Good mornlng, Col. Masters. Thls Is Col. Chappy Slnclalr. I guess by now you're over the Medlterranean. Hope you feel good. You'll be home soon. I don't have to tell you what klnd of son you got. I'm sure you already know. I'm sure you'd llke to know how he got over to you. Thls kld comes up to me one day and tells me he's got a problem... ... and could I help hlm. He was a cocky guy, kept telllng me how good he could fly. Nice of you to join us for the occasion, Mr. Iron Eagle, sir! They told us you went down in the Med. I did. I had to do a little dog paddling... ...until I got picked up by an Egyptian trawler. Your dad said it didn't go easy for you either. - Is Dad coming to this? - He's still in debriefing. It's just you and me, kid. They're going to put us in jail. You know that, don't you? Whatever they do, keep your head up and your shoulders back. They like it when you stand tall. Stand at ease. I've read the statements of all the principals... ...involved in this highly irregular operation. You both stand accused of violating virtually every section... ...of the National Security Act. The penalty for such violations could incarcerate you... ...for the next 25 years. Have any idea of the consequences of your actions? If the details came to light... ...it would undermine public confidence... ...in this branch of military service. What the hell were we supposed to do? No one lifted a finger to help my dad. Mr. Masters... ...have you given any thought... ...to the penalties that could be imposed on you? Yes, sir, I have. And were those thoughts pleasant? No, sir. I'm glad. Keep them in mind. Because if you talk about this operation to anyone... ...l'll guarantee you those penalties will be imposed immediately! Does this mean you're letting us go? This means your release is conditional on your silence! I urge you to re-evaluate that decision. Letting this boy loose would be a big mistake. He's already demonstrated his inability to keep his mouth shut. I'd suggest sending him to an institution... that can order him to keep... ...that big mouth shut! Are you saying we should confine him to some sort of penal facility? Well, in a manner of speaking, yes, sir. You see, Mr. Masters has applied to the Air Force Academy... ...an institution well-suited for this treatment. Unfortunately, his application has met with some resistance. I was wondering if you could... This aircraft, by order of the President of the United States... ...has just arrived from Ramstein Air Force Base, West Germany... ...where Col. Ted Masters was recovering from the rescue operation... ...which freed him from his captors three days ago. As reported earlier, the Air Force sent a squadron of F-16s... ...to mount a crippling attack on hostile forces. The operation resulted in no American losses... ...enemy casualties were termed as minor. In fact, details of the entire mission... ...have been strictly classified by the State Department. Col. Masters is followed by Air Force Reserve Col. Charles Sinclair. Sources close to the Air Force have uncovered a rumor... ...that Colonel Sinclair aided in planning the ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Чеховские мотивы на английском - текст Банкет на английском - текст Приключения Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона: Охота на тигра на английском - текст Лучшая защита на английском - текст Хорнблауэр: Экзамен на лейтенанта на английском |
