You better get your head into this!
I'm going to drop you from this programme like a hot rock!
You better hurry up!
Morning, sir. Monfriez is over there. I'll get him for you.
Thank you.
What the fuck are you doing, soldier? Where are your men?
- There, sir. - Yeah? What do you call that?
You see that man?
You and he are brothers. He depends on you. You depend on him.
You never leave a man behind.
- Yes, Drill Sergeant! - Now get the fuck out of here.
You were in Panama?
Yes, sir.
Were you there, sir?
Yes, I was.
And you were also in Desert Storm?
Roger that, sir.
How'd you come to be on Captain Walden's chopper?
I used to hang around the medevac unit.
Wanted to be a medic?
Wanted to hump a nurse once. That count, sir?
See, I play poker.
Those medevac folks, between missions, had a lot of time on their hands.
Want to know a poker secret, sir?
Always.
The people you play against, find out what they're interested in.
Pretend you're interested.
They start running off at the mouth, don't pay attention to their cards.
Medevac folks, they love to talk about their choppers.
Paid for this baby.
So, talk to me about, um,
25 February.
25 February? Yes, sir.
I had some phys rehab time.
Got into boxing.
Want a soda pop?
No, sir. No, I'm good.
25 February.
So, 25 February...
Major, uh, what's his butt? Garden party...
Teegarden. Major Teegarden.
Right. Asked me to go with Walden, said she might need guns,
so I said, you know, OK, why not?
Grabbed me a saw, bungeed one of the Huey doorways and away we went.
Yeah.
And, uh...
the captain was a big hero...
She died tragically in the desert, and Major...
- Teegarden. - Teegarden...
wants her to get the Medal of Honour, so she'll get it.
When did the M-16 ammo run out?
What?
M-16 ammo?
Blackhawk crew said they heard M-16 fire during the rescue.
When did it run out?
I wouldn't know anything about that, sir.
You wouldn't?
As... as I recall, and, uh...
I'm not really sure,
but the M-16 ammo ran out first thing in the morning.
First thing in the morning. But you're not really sure?
Now I'm confused.
- You were there, weren't you? - Affirmative, sir.
But I was on the saw.
Altameyer would know, sir.
Altameyer?
- Yes, sir. He was manning the M-16. - Oh, I see. OK.
OK, let's back up, then.
Um,
when that tank fired on your chopper,
you said that, uh...
"You should go for altitude and call for support", right?
Sir?
You knew this wasn't Panama.
Men were going to die, so you wanted to get out, right?
Wh... who told you that, sir? Tea Party? Ilario?
lt doesn't matter who told me that. You tell me.
You don't want to know what happened out there, sir.
Yes, I do.
You just want me to sign off on the story...
so you can finish your job and the lady can get her medal.
Are you refusing to tell me?
Colonel, you know what to do if you get a hang fire...
when you pull the trigger and the round doesn't go off?
You wait, with your weapon pointed in a safe direction, cos the primer burns slow.
You open your weapon and take the round out,
it blows up in your face.
Leave this round in the chamber, Colonel.
I work at the Pentagon, Sergeant,
so I admit I'm a little slow on the uptake.
Otherwise I'd say you just threatened me.
Did you just threaten me, soldier?
Because, if you did, let me respond to you.
Let me respond to you this way.
I'm an officer, and therefore, by proclamation, a gentleman,
but don't abuse that, son.
Don't get in my cross hairs, because I'll have no compunction...
about getting up to my neck in your ass, understand?
She was afraid, Colonel.
That's the bottom line on Captain Walden. She was a fucking coward, sir.
Get me around so I can fire!
- Go back. Let me have another shot! - I don't know.
I'm going for altitude, call for support.
There's no time!
All right, one more!
But then I'm calling for support.
Unhook the aux fuel cells! Prepare to toss them overboard.
Ilario, get me the flare gun.
So it was your idea to use the fuel cell?
Yeah.
Me, Rady, somebody.
Adrenaline was pumping. You can't expect me to remember everything.
Try.
Now!
- Yay! - Whoo!
So what happened during the night?
Walden and Ilario,
they wouldn't shut up about being rescued.
Like the Army had nothing else to do.
Dust is blowing hard out there.
- Think they'll find us tonight? - AWACS lost us when the ADT got hit.
SOP is for search and rescue to begin looking...
Christ, Captain, are you crying?
It's OK. It's just tension.
Hey, you're going to be OK, OK?
They'll find us. It'll be OK.
I can hear the ragheads moving, as soon as you girls stop gabbing.
They're going away.
It was just a probe.
- Shit! - I'm OK.
- I took one. - How's Rady?
Hanging in. Captain?
Ah! Oh!
So the rest of the night went without incident?
Yeah.
Wasn't that enough for one night?
You want to continue this tomorrow?
I don't get emotional about this shit.
I've been there, you know?
OK. Go on.
Well, after the fire fight, we argued mainly.
Ilario was freaked out by the dark, and Walden wanted to surrender at first light.
She was a wreck, kept asking about the ammo, worrying we didn't have enough.
I knew they'd attack at dawn.
So what happened during the evacuation?
Evacuation.
All right, let's go.
There's the rescue.
Altameyer, give me a hand with Rady.
- Come on, Captain! - Ow!
Come on!
- No! Don't move me! - Get away!
Suck it up!
I got you covered! Ready?
Go! Go! Go!
- Ilario, move! - Not without the Captain!
I'll get her.
No! I'm not leaving!
I'm not leaving! It's not safe!
They're taking fire! The choppers are waiting!
No! No! No!
Get the fuck outta here!
Come on!
She fired at you?
Near us, yeah.
Then why did you lie to the investigators about how she performed?
They'd already put together their own bullshit version of the story...
before they talked to me. I told them what they wanted to hear. We all did.
But that's the truth, so forget about the medal, or leave it as it is. I don't give a fuck.
So nobody from your Huey crew fired an M-16 any time during the rescue?
That's affirmed, sir.
Monfriez, you ready?
You sure about that?
That's affirmative, sir.
We had no ammo.
So how about it, Colonel?
Want to go a few rounds?
Are you threatening me, soldier?
- Where's your brain bucket? - I don't need it.
Don't step in here without one.
I have to tell you again, you won't have a head to stick it on.
Come on, Jersey. Right here.
Let's see what you got.
You got nothing, man.
Come on!
- Hello. - Hello? Baby?
How're you doing?
Hi.
How's it going?
Outstanding.
I was calling, I wondered...
What... what kind of...
What size T-shirts the kids wear?
I want to get the kids some T-shirts.
You know their sizes as well as I do.
Are you OK?
Nat?
I got a pint of, um...
Scotch here in a paper bag.
I don't want to drink any of it.
Can you tell me why you need it?
Want me to prattle on for a minute? I can do that.
Please.
OK. Um...
The new refrigerator doesn't work.
The light doesn't come on when you open the door.
I had to drive all the way over to Wagner, 12 blocks,
just so that Brian could practise riding his bike.
He's afraid of falling in front of his friends.
He refuses to let anyone see him riding with training wheels.
They've both taken to sleeping in our bed since you left.
It's like sleeping between two tornadoes.
I better go, baby.
Don Boylar called.
Jesus.
I better go.
- Nat, talk to me. - I can't.
- Why not? - I can't!
Bullshit. Bull! Talk to me!
Oh, Christ.
Colonel?
Can we get some coffee, please?
You're not a happy man.
A woman? The Army?
Al Bathra?
Talk to me.
Off the record, if you want.
Way, way off the record.
Rangers' honour.
Serling,
How long you been back?
Six months.
And you... you've been in the service how long?
17 years.
Ah, they got me running this inquiry...
on this girl pilot.
Captain Karen Walden.
She'll be the first woman to get the Medal of Honour for combat.
Oh, boy.
And everybody in the beltway wants a piece of this one, right?
I just want to get something clear.
This time, just want somebody to be a hero.
I want to get something right.
Yeah.
Cos Al Bathra, you know...
Al Bathra.
You talked to Boylar's parents?
Yeah.
Do they know?
They heard from a few of his friends.
Aw, Jesus...
You know...
They told Boylar's parents he died from enemy fire.
I told them that.
I carried the message, went to the funeral,
watched his mother cry her eyes out.
I stood there and looked his father in the eye...
and told him his son died brave under fire.
And I was the one who gave the order to fire.
I did it.
Then the Army gave me a medal...
for bravery and valour.
Then they buried me...
in medals.
Got a sense of humour, don't they?
Yeah.
Can't remember anything else except being in the Army.
Either being in it or wanting to be in it.
It's all I know.
Look, you need to sleep.
You call me any time.
Anything you want to say about anything, on or off the record.
I'm going to leave you alone for a while.
Ilario. Are you saying you can't find him, or that he's absent without leave?
Sir, that's an I... I...
That's right, specialist Ilario.
Well, we contacted the MPs, sir...
Roger.
Roger that.
Thank you.
Did she display fear when she had to make these life-and-death decisions?
No, never.
Karen, the captain... she had this quality.
The heavier the pressure, the calmer she got.
And she... you know, she put up with a lot of shit to become an officer.
Had to work twice as hard as everybody else, be twice as good.
She'd never let her guard down, show any sign of weakness.
But she was tough. She could handle it.
So, ladies and gentlemen, what I have to say to you in closing...
is to go forth,
to command wisely,
to advise prudently,
to protect with vigilance...
and to judge with care.
And above all,
to defend with all your heart, all your soul...
and all your courage...
the lives of the men and women under your command,
and the United States of America.
Are you now saying you'll report against her getting the medal?
As I explained to the White House, there should be a further investigation...
before we move forward. The discrepancies...
Another matter completely. Write up a second report.
That's my point, sir!
Ilario's disappeared. Altameyer's missing.
- Who? - Altameyer, sir. Walden's crew chief.
VA hospital's transferred him out three weeks ago.
Paperwork's missing.
Doesn't he have any family?
Negative.
Fucking VA. We can't wait, Nat.
You cannot imagine the kind of heat I'm getting on this.
Everybody wants it.
Senators, congressmen, one shiny piece of something for people to believe in.
Whole episode.
Walden or Al Bathra?
Both, damn it, both.
Submit your report today.
I'm sorry, sir.
I won't put my name on an incomplete report.
May I remind you who recommended you for this when no-one else'd touch you?
You saying you chose me because I wouldn't rock the boat?
Dereliction of duty, drunk and disorderly, conduct unbecoming.
At best, a dishonourable discharge.
At worst, Al Bathra gives us plenty of grounds, if we want 'em.
At least somebody has finally said it.
Nat, don't do this. I could give you a direct order to submit your report.
Yes, you could.
Put Hillerman back on the Walden file!
I handed this to you, Nat, as a way back.
You could've had one hell of a career.
And you give Meredith my best.
Tell her I didn't have any choice.
I'm going to finish this report.
On my own, if I have to.
I'm going to get this one right.
You want one?
No, thank you.
Why is it people never want to eat when they got something important to say?
I always want to eat.
Need you to help me find somebody.
You want my help?
Yeah. Name's Altameyer. Steven Altameyer.
He was the crew chief on the medevac chopper, piloted by Karen Walden.
- One supposed to get a Medal of Honour? - The very one.
- The Army's usually tidy about its people. - Yeah, usually, but not this time.
First he demobbed, then they had him in a VA hospital.
They transferred him. Now no-one can find him.
Why do you need me?
Can't someone in the Pentagon help?
I'm out of the loop.
Somebody pissed at you?
- I'm out of the loop. - Somebody important?
- You want to help me or not? - Hey, who called who here?
Yeah, sure, I'll help.
Just tell me why I'm doing it.
When you go after stories, you want them to be right, yes?
Yeah.
So do I.
OK.
So, I help you find this Altameyer,
and in return...?
There's a tape.
Sweet Jesus. There's always a tape.
- Do you want to hear this? - Yeah.
Yeah, go on.
There's a tape of all communications between our tanks that night in Al Bathra.
Are they trying to make it disappear?
I don't think so, but they're not advertising its existence, either.
The Army and its image.
Where do I reach you when I find this Altameyer?
The Bethesda Arms.
A motel?
- Bet everything's great in your life. - Outstanding.
Serling,
eat something.
You look awful.
# Make me an angel
# Flies from Montgomery
# Make me a poster
# From an old rodeo
# Just give me one thing
# That I can hold on to
# To believe in this livin'
# It's just a...
# Hard way to go
# To believe in this livin'
# It's just a...
# Hard way
# To go
Hello.
Found Altameyer.
Got any complaints?
Excuse me?
Rashes, fatigue, bleeding gums,
muscle and joint pain, loss of weight, loss of appetite,
insomnia, reactions to bright sunlight. You name it, we're seeing it.
I drink too much. Does that count?
Hell, we all drink too much.
Here he is.
Altameyer, you want a shave?
Gentleman here to see you. You want a shave?
What's wrong with him?
Abdominal cancer. That's what's killing him.
There's many things wrong with him.
He's never awake very long with all the pain.
I'll leave you two, then.
Thank you.
How you doing, Steven?
I'm Colonel Serling.
Nat Serling.
I want to talk to you about Captain Karen Walden.
They want to give her the Medal of Honour,
and I know that you were there in Al Kufan with her.
Roger?
I was...
hit.
In the back.
Roger.
But you were still able to get Rady out.
Rady.
Yeah.
Good man Rady.
I was...
afraid.
I understand, son.
That's OK. Take your time.
She was afraid.
She... she was afraid.
The Captain was afraid?
Not...
the Captain.
Who then? Was it Rady or Ilario?
Was Ilario afraid?
Me.
Did... didn't tell.
You didn't tell what, son?
The major.
Monfriez.
You didn't tell the major Monfriez...
You... you and Monfriez didn't tell the major?
He...
and then they...
You and Monfriez didn't tell the major.
You and Monfriez what, Steven?
Oh, Jesus.
What? What is it?
Tell me son, please. What is it?
Jesus.
What? What?
The fire.
- What? What fire? - Oh, Jesus, the fire.
What fire?
The napalm fire?
Jesus.
- You see the napalm fire. - Jesus.
Tell me about the fire.
You and Monfriez didn't tell the major what about the fire?
- Please, Jesus. - Steven!
Jesus, please.
Is it napalm fire? Steven?
Please, Jesus.
Jesus, please.
Steven.
Jesus.
Please.
Jesus.
What's he doing?
He's upping his meds. Self-medication.
Well, can you get him to stop?
I mean, I need to talk to him.
Give him a break. He's feeling no pain now.
Left.
Get off my car, sir.
Think you got something to tell me, Sergeant.
I called around.
You're off this inquiry, so why you here?
Karen Walden sent me.
I just left Altameyer.
What happened out there that was so bad...
that it would have Altameyer laying up in a hospital praying to die,
that's got Ilario on the run?
That's right, he went AWOL.
What do you think he'll tell them about you when they catch him?
And they're going to catch him, son.
Now, you can tell them,
or you can tell me.
What happened out there?
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened, sir.
It was a war.
Don't lie to me, soldier.
Don't lie to me.
lt doesn't matter whether she gets this award or not.
lt doesn't matter whether I'm on this inquiry or whether I'm in this Army.
I'm going to find out the truth. I guarantee you that.
You said you were a good poker player. Well, look me in the eye.
You think I'm bluffing?
No, thank you.
You want it.
I can smell how much you want it. It's coming out of your pores.
Tell me about the fire.
I like trains.
Since I was a kid.
Big...
Tough...
Iron.
Used to be iron, anyway.
When I got to boxing pro, I was going to call myself Johnny "Night Train" Monfriez.
- Don't that have a nice ring to it? - Very nice.
Don't humour me, man. Say it like you mean it.
Don't humour me, either. Tell me about the fire.
Where's my other bottle?
You ever kill anyone at close range with a small arm, sir?
It's messy.
No.
We're not talking...
one of your great big tank guns here.
Oh, that's OK.
I know what you did.
Your own men.
Guys under your command.
How'd it feel?
Bad, right?
Very bad, son.
Very bad.
And you didn't even mean to kill them.
I've been a good soldier.
A good soldier.
Listen to that whistle.
Johnny "Night Train" Monfriez.
Say it.
Johnny "Night Train" Monfriez.
Now get out.
You don't want to do this, son.
Let me help you.
- It's too late. - It's never too late. Look at me.
Things get fucked up in war. I don't care what happened to you.
You can't do this.
Wrong!
I can't do anything else.
Yes, you can. You can put the car in reverse. Put the gun down.
We can help each other.
I don't want to lose another good soldier.
I strongly urge you...
to dismount the vehicle, sir.
Monfriez. Monfriez!
Aah!
Imagine that.
Imagine not thinking about the consequences.
It's not the doing shit that gets to you, it's the consequences.
My folks used to have this place out on Calaveras Lake.
I still go there sometimes.
Guess you told me about this place so I'd know where to find you.
It's beautiful.
The MPs at Fort Stewart...
found your stash in your locker.
Pretty ingenious place to keep it, huh?
Not if you wanted it to be found.
Where'd you hide the needle tracks?
I uh...
I shoot up between my toes.
Monfriez is dead.
Killed himself.
Altameyer is dying.
Aren't we all?
Mayday! Mayday! Dustoff-3, we're going down!
We're going down! Mayday!
Mayday! Mayday! Dustoff-3, we're going down!
We're going down!
And the chopper went down?
What happened next?
What happened next isn't important. It's what happened that night.
Monfriez wanted to make a run for it.
At dawn we're dead. They’ll have reinforcements.
Escape and evasion, Captain.
Now's the time to do it. Maybe we'd slip by them in the dark.
I told you,
Rady can't be moved.
Right, Ilario?
That lung - any movement may kill him. But he may die lying here.
You see? Rady will never make it. I say we go.
Oh, great.
Great. The Captain's crying.
It's just tension, asshole.
It doesn't mean shit.
Come on, Captain. I don't want to wait here to die.
Ilario?
- I don't know. - Come on, it's a majority.
That'd be great if this was a democracy, but it isn't.
We stay with Rady.
I wouldn't risk your life. I won't risk his.
So if we surrender, the Iraqis would doctor him up.
No surrender.
I hear something moving.
- I say we make for the chopper now. - And I say I heard enough of that shit.
You don't have to go. We don't need your permission.
I am in command here!
Well, maybe not any more.
Give me the saw, Monfriez.
I can't stop you from running, but you're not taking our fire power with you.
You're not taking away my weapon.
Yes, I am.
Hey, I can make a white flag, all right?
There's no way you're taking away my weapon, cunt.
Section 28-J,
code of military justice.
Mutiny,
an offence punishable by death.
Jesus, Monfriez.
Shut up! She's trying to get us killed!
Ilario, who you with?
Come on, Ilario, shithead, do you want to die?
Please, Captain.
Oh!
Unh.
They're going away.
It was just a probe.
Oh.
Shit.
Are you all right?
Shit!
Oh, my God.
Shit.
I don't fucking believe it.
Give me your weapon.
Christ, I thought you were firing at me!
You're wounded, ma'am. Let me see.
You're with him.
You got to let me look at it.
Christ, let him look at it!
I gave birth to a nine-pound baby,
asshole!
I think I can handle it!
Cap, we got to get you out of here.
We stay with Rady.
- And then? - And then...
Incoming!
150 metres and closing!
140!
130!
Give me my weapon!
Ilario, how's Rady?
- He's dead! - No, he's alive!
Come on, Captain, give him his weapon!
- This is insane! Give me my weapon! - Shut up!
90 metres and closing!
80!
I'm sorry.
OK. OK.
OK, we'll get you out of here, Captain.
It's all over.
No, Monfriez,
it's not over.
There will be a reckoning.
Count on it.
Hey, what's that?
There's the rescue!
Let's move it! Move it!
Move it! Move it!
No!
Wait.
Help Rady.
We're pinned down here!
Ilario, give me the M-16.
Give me the goddamn M-16!
I'll cover you.
Go!
I'll cover you!
Negative, ma'am!
Come back for me with a stretcher and more guns!
- Karen, please! - Go! It's an order!
Karen, please!
Go! Go!
Wait!
Where's Walden?
She's dead!
No!
Monfriez said she would have court-martialled us.
Altameyer was too fucked up to say anything.
She was...
She was probably killed by small arms...
before the napalm ever hit.
Either way,
she never could have survived that stomach wound.
You think that matters?
No.
Hmm.
I couldn't bear to send this.
Uh, I didn't even want to...
I didn't even want to touch it.
Uh...
Can you get it to her parents for me?
Can you...?
Please?
Yeah.
Uh, listen, I'm going to have to call you back.
You got off the phone for me?
- You'll want me there for this. - Meaning?
Remember that stereo you told me not to buy cos who needs a dual cassette deck?
When does anyone ever have a reason to copy a tape?
Nat, just the man I wanted to see.
Uh, do you know Colonel Serling?
This is Tony Gartner of the Washington Post.
He was with the 9th in Vietnam.
Mr Gartner.
Colonel.
Take a seat, Nat.
He's following up our investigation of Al Bathra,
and it seems that he has a few questions that he'd like to ask us.
Let's give him every facility.
- I appreciate that. - Some ground rules, though.
I insist we be allowed to schedule the release of all information...
to the public regarding casualties.
Well, I wish I could accommodate you, sir,
but, unfortunately, we'll be going with a story based on a tape that I've acquired...
of all radio communications that night.
So,
I'd like you to listen...
and then comment for the record.
I can't comment for the record.
This is an ongoing investigation.
First right! Turn to the right!
Sabre-6, this is Bobcat-5.
Enemy tangos! Say again! Enemy tanks in our lines. Over.
Sabre-6, this is Cougar-6. Enemy tangos at phase line delta...
- I don't think any more of this... - This is what happened, General.
Liberty-6, this is Sabre-6. Enemy tanks on our flank. Out!
Patella, find me a target.
- I think I got one, sir. - Do you or do you not have a target?
lt must be, sir. They're firing at us.
Loader!
Up, sir!
Fire!
On the way!
- Target! We got that sucker! - Yeah!
Sabre-6, we just lost Cougar-6. Repeat, we just lost Boylar.
Roger that, sir. We got him.
- You just lit up a friendly. - Roger that. We... What?
- You just lit up a friendly, goddamn it!
Cougar-6 was one of your own Abrams, Colonel Serling. Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct.
Sabre-6, Nat, what's happening? Sabre-6, report.
Patella, was that one of our tanks?
They fired.
At us or at the T-72s?
I don't know.
- At us or at the T-72s, Patella? - I don't know!
Colonel Serling, report status now.
They have range on us!
All Sabre elements, stop all tanks, turn on your lights.
I say again, stop all tanks and turn on your lights.
Sabre-6, Nat, what's happening out there?
Load us up.
Patella, find me a target. Snap out of it. Find me a target.
Patella, come on!
- Target! - We're up.
- Lights on or off? - Off.
- Fire! - On the way.
- Sir? - Fire!
Colonel Serling, report status now!
Sabre-6, situation under control, General.
General, Colonel Serling's order to activate lights,
was that a standard response to enemy infiltration of the lines?
At the critical moment,
in spite of terrible losses,
Colonel Serling didn't hesitate to act.
Ordering those tanks to turn on their lights...
saved the lives of God knows how many of our men.
Heroic acts arise...
out of desperate circumstances.
I have no trouble at all believing that Colonel Serling is a hero.
Like Captain Karen Walden.
Did you know, Mr Gartner, for the first time a woman is being considered...
for the Medal of Honour for her performance under fire?
And, um,
Colonel Serling...
is just finishing up the inquiry.
How's that going, Nat?
I think, uh,
in order to honour a soldier like Karen Walden,
we have to tell the truth, General,
about what happened over there.
The whole, hard,
cold truth.
And until we do that, uh,
we dishonour her...
and every soldier who died,
who gave their life for their country.
My full report, General.
Few of us are given the opportunity,
even fewer the courage,
to sacrifice ourselves for the lives of our comrades.
In daily life, even as in battle,
each one of us is mysteriously and irrevocably bound to our fellow man.
And yet,
it is only in death that the power of this bond...
is finally tested and proven.
And who among us really knows...
how he might respond when that moment comes?
I guess we've been expecting you.
Ahem. First of all, let me, um...
Let me just say that, uh,
there was nothing that, uh,
Tom and I wouldn't do for each other.
Nothing.
He was a good soldier.
He was like a brother to me.
That night, uh, 25 February...
there were enemy tanks in our lines.
We thought...
I... I thought that, uh,
Tom's tank was an enemy tank.
And, uh,
I gave the order to fire.
God help me.
I um...
Yeah, I killed him.
As for the funeral,
the lies the Army told...
and the lies that I told...
to you, I can only...
beg for your forgiveness.
As far as the...
As far as that night, um,
I guess there's no way that, uh,
I can even begin to ask you to forgive me.
I know that,
but it's a burden you're going to have to put down sometime.
Thank you, sir.
Mr President.
Dear Mom and Dad,
well, this is it - the big push.
Looks like it's gonna really happen.
And I'm afraid,
not of being hurt or killed,
well, kind of, but not much.
My only regret will be to never see you two again...
and that I'll never see Anne Marie grow up.
But I know she's in good hands, the best.
What I'm really afraid of is that I might let my people down, my crew.
These people depend on me. They put their lives in my hands.
I just can't fail 'em.
Now, I know if you get this letter...
it means I'm dead.
I only hope that I've made you proud,
that I did my job,
and I didn't let down my country,
my crew, my fellow soldiers.
I love you guys.
Never stop telling Anne Marie how much I love her.
Your daughter, Karen.
You got it? All right.
