JAG (1995–2005): Season 5, Episode 18 - The Bridge at Kang So Ri - full transcript

Lieutenant, we got a bunch of
gooks coming over the bridge.

LIEUTENANT: You know the orders,
Corporal. Nobody crosses our line.

They look like civilians, sir.

They always look
like civilians, Corporal.

Sir, there's women and children.

Handle it.

What are we supposed
to do? Go back!

Go on! Go back! Get out of here!

Go back! (shouts in Korean)

Move back! (shouting in Korean)

He's got a gun!



(panicked screams)

CHEGWIDDEN: Happened
early in the Korean War on a bridge

near the village of Kang So Ri.

23 Koreans were killed.

I've read about it, sir.

The press is reporting
American soldiers

massacred civilian
refugees there.

We've been dealing
with these alleged

massacre reports
for 50 years now.

General Wolfe
headed an Army inquiry

into similar allegations
six years ago.

Found no criminal liability.

South Korean
government signed off on it.

The North Koreans called
it a whitewash, of course.



And now we have these new
articles in the American press.

Some former American
soldiers have given interviews

admitting they killed
civilian refugees.

Those civilian refugees

were infiltrated by
North Korean regulars.

Which you will take into account

when you conduct
your new investigation.

General Wolfe will assist you.

Or you can just read my report.

My government came to power

with a promise to
defend human rights.

But, of course,
we still value highly

our close relationship
with the United States.

WOLFE: After the
sacrifices our boys made

in that hellhole,

it'd be a damn shame
if all anyone remembers

is some politically
correct investigations.

Colonel.

Commander, I'll
see you on the plane.

I've arranged for a liaison
to meet you in Seoul

since, uh, I unfortunately

will not be able to
greet you personally

in my, uh, hellhole
of a country.

Pleasure, sir.

Admiral.

Civilians or combatants?

It sounds like Vietnam.

A full generation earlier.

Find what witnesses you can.

Examine documents.

Sounds like everyone
will be happier

if we find nothing, sir.

Everyone but me. Get the truth

no matter what
it is. That'll be all.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

( mumbling): Hey,
Colonel, Commander.

Who's your buddy?

( mumbling): Burpee Bear.

I've been trying for six months

to get one of
these for little A.J.

What?

He said it's a Burpee
Bear for little A.J.

Apparently very hard to find.

Got the last one in Virginia.

He got the last one in Virginia.

( bear burps)

Got the last one in Virginia.

RABB: Wow.

I'm going to leave

before he does that again.

( mumbling): On the
internet they cost over $500.

( burps)

( mumbling): On the
internet they cost over $500.

He speaks better
than you do, Bud.

( bear burps)

RABB: Wow, an 18-hour flight.

We could be going to Australia.

I wish we were.

RENEE: Harm.

Renee.

Hey, you didn't
have to see me off.

I'm not. I'm going.

Going where?

Korea.

Hello, Ms. Petersen.

Major, please, call me Renee.

It's Colonel, but
you can call me Mac.

Oh, Harm, Harm!

This is Mickey Gallo,
my cameraman.

Mickey, say hello to my...

commander.

Commander Harmon Rabb.

And this is Charlie Hoskins,

former Corporal Charlie Hoskins.

You gave interviews
for some of the articles.

Mm-hmm, and he's going
to give the best one yet

for me at the Kang So Ri Bridge.

I'm doing a segment for a
ZNN Korean War documentary.

On the alleged massacre?

Isn't it great?

A chance to move
out of commercials,

plus, we'll get a
chance to be together.

( cell phone rings)

Hello?

BRUMBY: Sarah.

Mic.

I miss you, too.

Enough to move my
ring to your left hand?

Uh, well...

Still on your right, is it?

For now. Look, Mic, I
can't really talk right now.

I'm about to get on a plane.

Ah, beautiful, you're
coming over to see me.

No, not this week.

It's, uh, business.

ANNOUNCER ( over
P.A.): Your attention please,

announcing the
arrival of flight 27 from...

I'll get it.

Hong Kong, arriving
now at gate 20-B.

An officer and a gentleman.

Announcing the arrival of
flight 27 from Hong Kong,

arriving at gate 20-B.

Hey.

ANNOUNCER: flight
105 with nonstop service

to Seoul, South Korea ( beeping)

is now boarding.

( announcer speaking Korea)

Sir, can you open your
bag for me, please?

Sure.

And if you find
anything that doesn't

need cleaning or
pressing, you can have it.

Romeo y Julietta Churchill.

Strictly legal, not even Cuban.

Corporal Hoskins.

I guess we have you
to thank for this trip.

I'm not a corporal, General.

I haven't been for 50 years.

Why did you make
those statements now?

Maybe he wanted to
clear his conscience.

Is that right, Hoskins?

Do you consider
yourself a war criminal?

No, sir. I do not.

Good.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Headphones are
available for in-flight entertainment...

RABB: I'm going to need
to take a formal statement

at an appropriate
time, Mr. Hoskins.

Not a problem, Commander.

I'm 70 years old;

I got a prostate that's
probably killing me.

I just, you know, I want
to get out what happened

so that people smarter than me

can figure out the rights
and the wrongs of it.

What did happen, Hoskins?

What happened, General?

I was an 18-year-old

draftee directing
traffic in Yokohama

handing out Hershey
bars to hungry kids...

when suddenly we hear
there's fighting in Korea.

I didn't even know
where Korea was.

Our C.O. tells us to pack
our summer dress uniforms.

Says we're gonna
kick the commies' butts

in a couple of weeks

and have a big parade in Seoul.

One year later...

half the men in my
platoon are dead.

I never did get a chance
to wear that dress uniform.

I know what you did
there, Mr. Hoskins.

Most people have no idea.

They call it the
forgotten war, you know?

I just thought it was time
for somebody to remember.

( flight attendant speaking
indistinctly over P.A.)

Thanks.

You ever see action, Colonel?

Uh, some.

You know, I shot B-roll
of the Marines in Haiti.

Did you?

But I never saw a leatherneck
that looked like you.

WOLFE: You're taking
advantage of him.

He's old, he's sick.

He's stewing about something

that happened 50 years ago.

Something?

He shot two dozen
civilian refugees.

He feels bad about
it. Wouldn't you?

I see you're going
into this documentary

with an open mind.

Anything you have
to say, General,

I'll be happy to hear.

How about this:

Two days before the
incident at Kang So Ri

American soldiers let
some refugees pass

on a road near Yonchon.

They thought there were
pregnant women in the group,

but they weren't pregnant.

And they weren't women.

They were NKPA troops with
hand grenades in belly packs.

11 Americans were
blown to pieces.

Ladies and gentlemen, this
is your captain, Bill Armstead.

Well, if you can document
that, it'll be in my piece.

If I can document it?

How about you, Commander?

Are you prepared
to accept the word

of the United States Army?

I have 10,000
pages of Army reports

on my desk back at JAG.

Oh, great, there go our
weekends when we get back home.

Do you two, uh...
know each other?

Yes, sir, we do.

Well, I see you're
making friends

and influencing generals.

Mac, I would love

to put you in my documentary.

You would be so
attractive on screen

if we could just get you
out of that awful uniform.

Thanks. Well, I mean,

who could look good
in those drab colors?

Not me, I guess.

Look, I just want

you both to know
how excited I am

to be working with you.

You're not working
with us, Renee.

Well, we can help each other.

You have the
official report, right?

I have access to people
who wouldn't trust you.

I've already talked
to the North Koreans;

protesters from South Korea.

Anything we
discover is confidential

until the report is published.

If it's published.

Harm, the last

confidential document
in Washington

was Abraham Lincoln's diary.

It's quid pro quo.

That's the way the system works.

Not my system.

Oh, well, I guess I
don't know your system

as well as I thought.

Excuse me, General.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain.

We've just crossed the
international date line.

We'll be arriving in
Seoul, South Korea

in six hours, 15 minutes.

♪ ♪

I already see the opening.

Charlie Hoskins walks
across the bridge...

The same path the refugees took.

Then we hear gunshots

and dissolve to black and white.

Ms. Petersen, do
any of you journalists

advance your careers

by reporting on honorable people

doing honorable things?

Fireman saves cat in tree.

Tape at 11:00?

♪ ♪

I'd like my dinner now, please.

We'll be serving
in a few minutes.

If you just return
to your seat...

The vegetarian meals.

What?

Where are the vegetarian meals?

So, uh, what are you
doing after we get to Seoul?

Do you want anything
from the galley?

Like ice water?

Better not be lasagna
again, Young Hee.

No, it's the chef's surprise.

Lady, you sure you
want to be doing this?

Quite.

ARMSTEAD: All right,
what do you want?

A small change
in your flight plan.

ARMSTEAD: We barely have
enough fuel to reach Seoul.

It will be sufficient.

( clatters)

Set a new course.

For North Korea.

HIJACKER: Everybody
stay in your seats.

Stand, and you will be shot.

My comrades and I
have taken command

over this aircraft in the name

of the Korean people.

We have no grievance
against most of you.

We have taken this
action to serve justice.

General Wolfe, Corporal Hoskins,

you are indicted by the people

for crimes against humanity.

Hoskins

for slaughtering refugees

at Kang So Ri, Korea

September 4, 1950.

Wolfe

for covering up that crime.

If this was really about justice

you wouldn't need the guns.

Harm...

don't you keep the
world free and just

with your guns, Commander?

The United States government
is already investigating

these alleged crimes,

which is more than North
Korea would ever do.

If you have relevant
information, give it to me.

I'll present it to
Washington and to Seoul.

That's very generous, Commander.

But unfortunately for you
and your South Korean lapdogs

this time there won't
be a whitewash.

WOLFE: No.

This time there'll
be a lynching.

ROBERTS ( slowly):
I love you, A.J.

( burps) I love you, A.J.

Lieutenant?

( burps)

Harm and Mac's plane
has been hijacked.

( mumbling)

What?

"By whom?" Oh,
hell, I don't know.

Some group intent on
refighting the Korean War.

Look, SECNAV is
on his way over here.

We're going to
monitor the situation

in the conference room.

I want you to go to
the CIA; you find Webb.

He may know more than we do.

( mumbling): All right, sir.

Oh, Lieutenant?

Um...

unless you know Morse code

you might want
to take this, um...

( mumbling)

Whatever.

This is my fault.

I should've let the
past stay buried.

How the hell did they know

we were on this plane, anyway?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I... I talked to the
North Koreans

and the South Korean protesters.

I am so sorry.

You're probably just worried

about how you're going to
rearrange your knickknacks

to make room for an Emmy.

General, with all
due respect, sir,

we should deal with
the situation at hand

and save the
recriminations for later.

Fine.

What are you going to do?

They're well organized, sir.

They keep their eyes open.

One of them

is always in the cockpit.

There's five of
them and 300 of us.

We could probably take
these two up here, sir,

but they would shoot some
people before we did it.

Maybe.

I'm the senior officer here,

and I'll be damned if I'm going
to North Korea without a fight.

If I see fit to give
you an order,

I expect you to follow it.

How many people do
you want to see killed?

MacKENZIE: Coffee?

Tea?

( hushed): Strategy?

Mac...

I convinced the woman...

They call her Solla...

That people need beverages.

See what you can find that
we can use for a weapon.

Keep moving!

Thank you.

CHEGWIDDEN:
That's their position, sir?

SECNAV: It is, on radar track.

N.S.A. is tapping into
their communications.

We're getting a feed in here

so that we can see and
hear what they're doing.

Well, what about us?
What are we doing?

We are talking to
the North Koreans.

We don't think
they're behind this.

They've been
cooperating with us lately...

You know, up to a point.

CHEGWIDDEN: Yeah, they
promise not to build nuclear weapons

and we pay them off by
building nuclear power plants?

Hell, sir, that's
diplomatic extortion.

Yes, and they probably
won't want to give it up.

Any new demands
from the hijackers?

Nope. They say
they just want to try

Mr. Hoskins and General
Wolfe for war crimes.

What about my people?

I don't know, A.J.

What are you doing?

I'm getting blankets. Some
of the passengers are cold.

Who gave you permission?

No one. I'm just doing my job.

Do it when I tell you.

Sit down.

( men speaking Korean nearby)

Where's Colonel MacKenzie?

Don't play stupid with me.

Lieutenant Colonel S. MacKenzie
is on the passenger manifest.

He didn't make it on the plane.

I don't believe you.

He got bronchitis last night.

If you don't believe me,
call Bethesda Naval Hospital.

I cannot risk getting jumped

by some colonel who
wants to be a general.

Tell me where the colonel is.

Oh...

Or I kill your friend.

Harm...

You would shoot
an innocent civilian?

Only one.

Corporal Hoskins here
shot a couple dozen.

Not like this.

You don't know what it was like.

I don't?

Two of my grandparents
were killed at Kang So Ri,

probably by you.

WOLFE: Your grandfather wouldn't

by any chance, have been
in the North Korean Army?

You're going to be dealt with.

You're going to be dealt with.

Now where

is Colonel MacKenzie?!

I'm Colonel MacKenzie.

A woman soldier?

Just like you.

WEBB: These are the
ones we've identified.

They came out of a
radical student group

in Seoul University.

( mumbling)

What?

Oh, this isn't an
interrogation room.

It's a reception room.

It's a mirror.

This is Solla Jong.

This is Kwan Kun-an...

and this is...

( frustrated sigh)

It's a mirror.

CHEGWIDDEN: Anything
else from the CIA?

SECNAV: The last
reported activity of this group

was burning down an
American sneaker factory.

Sneakers?

They said it exploited
the Korean workers.

I've got Roberts over there
trying to pry things open.

Good luck.

( ringing)

Chegwidden.

Uh, yes.

Sir, it's for you.

Thank you.

Yes?

( man speaks indistinctly)

They what?

Thank you.

( hangs up phone)

The North Koreans have spoken.

The hijackers are

"counterrevolutionary
anarchist-adventurers."

The plane will not be allowed
to enter North Korean airspace.

They say if we enter
North Korean airspace

they will shoot us down.

I'll tell them again
who we have on board.

They know who we have on board.

It doesn't matter to them.

Then you're all going to die.

What were you going to do?

Do about what?

When Solla had the gun on Renee.

Who were you going
to protect, her or me?

Well, you stepped forward, Mac.

I guess we'll never know.

All passengers except these
will move to the lower cabin.

What are you doing with them?

Getting them out of our way.

Ms. Petersen, do you
have your camera?

Why?

To record history.

We are not sure

where we are going to land

so we have our trial here.

And you will document it.

The hell she will.

RENEE: Actually, General...

Here it comes.

It's my duty.

It's news.

Who's the judge?

Me.

Who's the jury?

We don't play by your rules.

Do you play by any rules?

RABB: This is a farce.

The defendants can
plead their cases.

If you and Colonel MacKenzie
want to represent them

we'll listen to
you up to a point.

I'm not going to
waste my breath.

Mr. Hoskins?

You'll listen to me?

Of course.

Don't be a fool, Hoskins.

I'll tell my story.

Mickey, the camera.

This court is now in session.

MAN (over radio): Oceanic Flight

105, you are not
authorized to land

at any airfield in the People's
Democratic Republic of Korea...

Sir, we have a carrier
in the Sea of Japan,

we have Air Force
bases in South Korea.

May I suggest that
we put up fighters?

If we put up fighters

the North Koreans
are going to react.

And if we don't send up fighters

they may shoot
down a civilian aircraft.

The hijackers know that.

And they may not
care, damn it, and I do!

Sir...!

Sir, with all due respect,

what do we know
about these people?

I mean, what the
hell do they want

other than some show trial?

They already have something.

I just hope they don't know it.

Sir?

General Wolfe.

He's our liaison with South
Korea's intelligence agency.

He knows who we
have in North Korea.

He knows which North
Korean agents have turned.

If Pyongyang get
their hands on him...

SOLLA: Charles
Hoskins, you are charged

with the willful murder
of 23 Korean civilians

near the village of Kang So Ri.

General Zachary Wolfe,

you are charged for
covering up such crimes

in the interest of
making such massacres

possible in the future.

WOLFE: You getting
this, Miss Petersen?

You still going to be filming

when they carry us
out in body bags?

You're not helping
yourself, General.

Give me a weapon, I'll
do myself some good.

( Kwan speaking Korean)

And keep him out
of my briefcase.

We're looking for evidence.

Don't you use
evidence in your trials?

Your inquiry report.

From the classified summary.
"Whatever the provocations,

"it is clear that at
least some Korean

civilians were deliberately
targeted by American troops."

RENEE: E-excuse me.

Could you move
away from the window?

We're getting some glare.

( whispers): Thanks.

I think that makes a case.

Are you going to enter the
entire report into evidence?

You may proceed, Commander.

Mr. Hoskins, do you want to tell
us what happened at Kang So Ri?

HOSKINS: Yes, sir.

It had been raining.

The refugees, uh, they
came out of a mist...

all dressed in
white, like ghosts.

I told them to stop.

I warned them. Uh...

I thought I saw one of
them reaching for a gun.

And then?

We opened fire... Binion
and McFall and me.

The women and the
children and the old people...

did you shoot them, too?

I'm sorry.

I've been sorry for 50 years.

I don't know if the hijackers

have any connections
in North Korea.

I've told you
everything we know.

Yeah, I know Harm and
Mac are on the plane.

( clearing throat)

Okay.

Now, we don't think
this means very much,

but this Solla woman was seen

with a North Korean
diplomat in Hanoi.

( thud)

This North Korean is
someone of interest to us.

( burps)

BURPEE BEAR: This North
Korean is someone of interest to us.

Would you open that, please?

( bear burps)

Would you open that, please?

( burps)

Give me the bear.

No.

Lieutenant...

you can stay, or you can leave,

but that bear is not
leaving this building

with classified information.

( burps)

RABB: Let's put
that day at the bridge

in perspective, Mr. Hoskins.

Yes, sir.

I'd like nothing better.

How long had you
been in-country?

Two weeks.

Had you experienced combat?

Oh, we were mostly retreating,

but, yes, sir,
they-they attacked us.

We didn't have any armor,
our bazookas were firing duds.

Half the time, our
radios didn't work

and we were outnumbered.

I was green as grass
when I first got there.

I never used a
pig-sticker for anything

except to open "K" rations.

SOLLA: "Pig-sticker"?

It's a bayonet.

The first time I
used one for real

we were being
infiltrated from the rear.

I stabbed one.

My blade, uh, stuck in his gut.

I killed another with
an entrenching tool.

A kid... really.

Just like me.

I beat him to
death with a shovel.

We didn't know
what we were doing

at all. Guys in our
outfit were doing all kind

of brave, crazy things.

Like shooting old women?

My friends were getting
killed all around me.

What were your
orders at Kang So Ri?

Don't let anyone
cross our lines.

Did you question the order?

I told the lieutenant

that there were women
and children in the group

and he told me to handle it.

Did you consider
that an unlawful order

you had a right to disobey?

No, sir.

We were told about Yonchon,

and how those so-called
refugees were killing our guys.

I'm not a criminal.

But, I...

I did shoot civilians.

He confesses.

MacKENZIE: Wait a minute.

Mr. Hoskins, you told me
earlier about your family.

No, let's just leave
them out of this.

No, we can't.

Do you have any
pictures of your children?

They're all grown up.

I-I got an old

picture in my wallet here.

Show it to me.

There, there. Thanks.

What are their names?

Well, see, in the middle here

that's my daughter, Sun-tu

and these are my boys,
Ho-jun and Young-sam.

You adopted Korean war orphans.

Yeah, uh...

in the war, I...

called the people "gooks."

Everybody did.

I mean, you know, we
didn't know any better.

But I learned.

Koreans...

Chinese...

Americans...

we all died the same.

This is supposed to
help your defense?

It tells you who
Charlie Hoskins is.

SOLLA: Yes, an
imperialist soldier

who brings home souvenirs
from conquered lands.

Now, you hold on, there, lady.

These are my children.

Why did you adopt them?

Because I...

Because you felt guilty.

Because you are guilty.

( knock at door)

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

See? Good as new.

Little A.J. will love it.

BURPEE BEAR (
cackles): I love you.

Let's go to the park.

What have you done to him?!

RABB: Charlie Hoskins
was a 19-year-old

kid from a working-class
family in Indiana.

His father worked at
the Studebaker factory.

Charlie would have
worked there, too,

if he hadn't been drafted and
sent to Japan in peacetime.

Later, in Korea, Charlie watched

as his fellow troops
died around him.

He'd heard about North
Korean troops sneaking South

disguised as refugees

and he received an order
to stop this from happening.

If Charlie had not
followed orders

and fired upon the
refugees that day

at Kang So Ri, one of them
might have shot and killed him.

You don't know that's
true, Commander.

You don't know that it

isn't true.

I'm sorry about

your grandparents,

and Charlie is sorry, too,

but condemning
this man isn't fair.

It isn't just.

It isn't right.

Anything else, Commander?

If you do this...

you will be hunted to
the ends of the earth.

I'm afraid that
won't be necessary.

We're landing in Seoul,

since no other
place will take us.

In a few minutes

I'll be captured... and killed.

So, we carry out the
sentence now. Kwan!

You forgot the verdict.

SOLLA: Did I?

Guilty.

General... I'm sorry.

Keep filming, Miss Petersen.

You definitely want to get this.

RENEE: People
will see this tape.

You won't want
it to end like this.

This is the way it has to end.

You'll be viewed as a barbarian.

I'm done arguing
with you, Commander.

Do you want to join them?!

Solla, the General's working

with the South
Korean intelligence.

He was carrying this agenda

for a meeting tomorrow.

SOLLA: "Current state

"of counterintelligence
versus the D.P.R.K.

"Attending: Major
General Zachary Wolfe,

U.S. Army Intelligence liaison."

Are you a spymaster,

General Wolfe?

If you're going to
shoot me, shoot me.

"Penetration of the North Korean

General Intelligence Bureau."

This is why you covered
up the massacre...

Because you are
still fighting the war.

Gun down, Kwan.

North Korea may
let us in after all.

They're turning north,
and the North Koreans

are scrambling
MiGs to intercept.

They're going to
shoot it down, sir.

SECNAV: Not if they turn away.

You're relying on the
good sense of hijackers?

Turn that up.

MAN ( over radio):
Permission denied.

You may not cross
our military boundary.

If you enter our airspace,
your presence will be...

They claim 50 miles
out into the Sea of Japan.

We've got to send
up fighters, sir.

Even if the plane
doesn't turn back

our people think that the
North Koreans will let it land.

We're sending them
tons of food every month

plus the power plants.

They need our goodwill.

"Goodwill." What people
are telling you this, sir?

The CIA.

( cell phone ringing)

( mumbling): Hello.

Roberts, the plane is
flying to North Korea

and the CIA is
peddling some bushwah

about what's going to happen.

Now, you tell Webb
he's got to level with us.

What the hell am I saying?
Put him on. Let me tell him.

Webb.

CHEGWIDDEN: Webb, I need information
and I know you're holding out on us.

Yeah.

CHEGWIDDEN: I
don't care how you get it!

Sorry I can't help
you with that, Admiral.

Lieutenant Roberts
is just leaving.

You don't understand.
We have General Wolfe

and proof that he's a spymaster.

He knows the South
Korean spies among you.

He knows which of your
spies have betrayed you.

MAN: I repeat...

Tell your superiors.

Clearance denied.

Tell them!

You will be shot down! Those
people don't mess around.

Set the course for Pyongyang.

They'll change their minds.

"You didn't hear it from me,

"but HUMINT tells
of power struggle

"in D.P.R.K. military.

Prognosis: Plane
will be shot down."

And the CIA's
keeping that a secret?

Yes, because they'd rather
have the plane shot down

and protect the intelligence
secrets in General Wolfe's head.

SECNAV: The decision's been made

not to show force.

So, unmake it, sir.

Only the president can do that.

MAN: Sir? Chegwidden.

Put me through to
the White House.

North Korean MiGs.

I think you better let
me go to the cockpit.

Why?!

Because I'm a combat pilot

and it looks like you're
going to need one.

You stay where you are!

We've got to turn back.

Keep going!

They'll kill us.

( speaking Korean)

Turn it back.

Turn back!

( panting)

( grunting)

( panting)

Can you fly to Pyongyang?

I'll tie her up.

What took you so long?

Watch out!

( grunting)

( grunting)

( speaking Korean)

They're getting in
position to shoot us down.

That won't stop them for long.

MAN: Oceanic 105, this is
U.S. Air Force Eagle One.

Flight lead inbound,
with radar lock.

Eagle One, Oceanic 105,
U.S. Navy at the controls.

Navy?

I've got two MiGs

on my six.

We are buster.

30 seconds away.

( beeping)

Missiles inbound.
Brake hard left, now!

( alarms blaring)

EAGLE ONE: Your
fire is out, Navy.

Sorry about that.

Apology accepted if
you splash those MiGs.

Roger. Engaged.

MiGs are bugging out.

Want an escort to South Korea?

Roger that.

Take me home.

EAGLE ONE: Can
you land that bus, Navy?

Sure, I can land this thing.

Can you?

Let's hope so.

( sirens wailing)

MAN (over radio):
Oceanic 105, maintain

flight heading zero-seven-zero.

You're below glide
slope and descending.

Roger that. Correcting.

Correction looks good.

This baby's got all
the moves of a whale.

It's called inertia, Navy.

You're sitting on top
of 200 tons of aircraft.

Clear to land. Call gear down.

Gear down.

Decrease your sink rate.

Remember, you're
sitting five stories up.

Don't fly it into the ground.

Looking good, Navy.

Ease off...

Ease off...

Flash... and you're down.

Throttle back. You've
got lots of runway.

Welcome to Korea, Navy.

You just cost me 50 bucks.

Next time, I take the boat.

SOLLA: Take your paws
off me! Easy, let's go.

SOLLA: Watch it!

If you were still on
active duty, Hoskins,

I'd put you in for a decoration.

Never got a scratch, General,
whole first time I was here.

How's your movie
looking, Miss Petersen?

Happy ending. It'll sell.

And if they'd shot us...

What were you going
to do with the tape?

We still have an
investigation to conduct, sir.

Indeed we do.

We'll start tomorrow morning
and take it where it leads.

Aye, aye, sir.

Well...

it took a hijacking to
open the general's mind.

It took Charlie Hoskins.
