don't even have diplomatic relations with them. So it takes a heap of time just to make a phone call. I got the admiral on the horn. Hang in there, son. Yes, sir. Yeah, it came a minute ago. I think the general will want to pursue this further. I don't know how you can stay so calm. Because I've been through it before. You don't remember. You were only four years old. That time your dad had to bail out over the Pacific. The whole time he was missing, I didn't know if he was alive. I got to call Katie and tell her I'm not going tonight. And tell the Winslows not to come for graduation. Doug, that is not going to help him. He's stuck over there, but he's thinking about us. He's thinking about you and Katie... ...getting dressed up tonight. He's thinking about you getting your diploma tomorrow. That's all he's got right now. Somehow... ...if you don't go... ...it takes it all away from him. Look, I'm very scared. I'll admit that to you. But if you start thinking the worst will happen... ...somehow it always does. What'd you find out? I'll tell you in the car. Let's go pick up Amy. Is Dad going to be all right? Yeah, Dad's going to be fine. You go with Mom. I'll be home in a little while. What did Blackburn tell you? He said they think they're holding him for ransom or something. Can you nose around your dad's office, see what they want from him? I was just there. Everybody in Intelligence is scrambling. They're keeping a lid on this. Nobody's talking. Come on, Milo. All right. I'll see what else I can find out. Thanks a lot. Is there anything we can do? No, nothing. Guess you won't feel like going tonight? I didn't at first, but... ...it's better than sitting home going crazy over this. Listen, Doug... ...everything will work out. They won't mess with us. The Air Force will kick ass if they do. Like in Iran. That was different. Mr. Peanut was in charge then. Now we got a President who don't take shit from gimpy countries. Why do you think they call him Ronnie Ray Gun? I almost forgot. I got some boutonnieres. This smells so good. Take a whiff. Go ahead. You are allowed a statement on your behalf. This court is a fraud. At no time did I violate your territorial airspace. At no time did we engage in any intelligence-gathering operation. This trial is a blatant violation of international law. The American naivetй never ceases to amaze me. We make the laws in this country. We are not subject to your... ...ridiculous Western alliances. I am a pilot myself. And when in flight, I am always aware... ...of my exact position. I have no doubt you were quite clear about yours. Your country has been warned time and time again! Yet your leaders choose to make light of our demands. Reparation is our due... ...and we shall have our due. They didn't ask for anything? They didn't. I was right outside my dad's office. None of them could believe it! They've held the trial and found your dad guilty. What does that mean? Nobody knows. They haven't sentenced him yet. It could mean prison, or... Why are they playing so tough? The State Department thinks... ...they don't want other nations thinking they're chicken of the U.S. They're trying to set an example. When are they going in? The Marines! They ain't going to sit and take this crap! Nothing's being planned. But my dad thinks they'll work something out. What are they going to work out? How many years is he going to stay in that shithole? What are they doing about it? Dad says they're negotiating. They won't do shit and you know it! Doug's here. I'm sorry about not being able to return your calls... ...but since thing's heated up, the general's had me hopping. Colonel, don't lie to me. Are you guys planning something? We're doing all we can. Which is nothing, isn't it? They're trying to talk to them. Trying to make them listen to reason.
