Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,668 --> 00:00:06,463
Two miles out, FLIR looks clear.
2
00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:09,883
- Drop zone is off the nose.
- So is the sun.
3
00:00:12,135 --> 00:00:13,429
Nacelles coming back.
4
00:00:14,972 --> 00:00:19,393
Nacelles passing 45 degrees.
Air speed slowing to 120 knots.
5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,187
Starting descent.
6
00:00:23,856 --> 00:00:25,775
Let's go, Marines. Move, move.
7
00:00:26,692 --> 00:00:28,903
What do you think now,
congresswoman?
8
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:32,406
I think little boys
never outgrow their toys.
9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,954
Twenty feet at 15 knots.
Gusts picking up.
10
00:00:37,121 --> 00:00:39,832
- Let's get in and out.
- Ramp clear.
11
00:00:39,998 --> 00:00:42,376
- Deploy jumpers, sergeant.
- Jumpers away.
12
00:00:46,922 --> 00:00:49,716
- Hold.
- What's going on back there?
13
00:00:51,135 --> 00:00:53,138
Two to go, major. Go.
14
00:00:59,018 --> 00:01:00,812
We hit the water.
15
00:01:53,701 --> 00:01:55,787
It's a stretch to even call it a mishap.
16
00:01:55,953 --> 00:01:58,956
A corporal with a headache,
a sergeant with a sprained ankle.
17
00:01:59,123 --> 00:02:01,334
Congressman with whiplash.
18
00:02:01,501 --> 00:02:04,337
National Security Subcommittee
wanted to observe a training exercise.
19
00:02:06,005 --> 00:02:07,799
You ever say no
to Congresswoman Latham?
20
00:02:07,965 --> 00:02:09,676
Not when she's got my budget
in her hands.
21
00:02:09,843 --> 00:02:12,179
The aircraft was kissed by a swell,
22
00:02:12,346 --> 00:02:14,640
then immediately powered up
and got out of there.
23
00:02:14,807 --> 00:02:17,518
But it's an Osprey
so it made the front page.
24
00:02:17,684 --> 00:02:21,021
We're getting a bum rap, A.J.
A pilot would understand that.
25
00:02:21,188 --> 00:02:23,357
- Commander, you flew F-14s.
- Yes, sir.
26
00:02:23,524 --> 00:02:25,526
Then you're aware
of the history of that aircraft.
27
00:02:25,692 --> 00:02:27,529
Eight of the first 11 crashed, sir.
28
00:02:27,695 --> 00:02:29,989
One shot itself down
with its own Sparrow missile.
29
00:02:30,156 --> 00:02:32,158
There are bugs to iron out,
new systems to learn.
30
00:02:32,325 --> 00:02:34,369
Does that mean it was defective
or dangerous?
31
00:02:34,536 --> 00:02:37,038
- Any aircraft is potentially dangerous.
- Exactly.
32
00:02:37,205 --> 00:02:38,873
Leonard,
33
00:02:39,165 --> 00:02:41,334
I think you'll find that
Colonel MacKenzie
34
00:02:41,501 --> 00:02:43,461
and Commander Rabb
are well aware
35
00:02:43,628 --> 00:02:46,131
of the Marines' stake
in the Osprey Programme.
36
00:02:46,297 --> 00:02:48,259
Don't worry.
37
00:02:48,426 --> 00:02:51,720
I will keep my nose
out of your investigation.
38
00:02:51,887 --> 00:02:54,849
- And I look forward to your report.
- Yes, sir.
39
00:02:55,015 --> 00:02:56,100
Yes, sir.
40
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,900
You have 3,000 hours in 46's
and 53's with no mishaps.
41
00:03:05,067 --> 00:03:07,737
One Osprey is worth a squadron
of those old birds, commander.
42
00:03:07,904 --> 00:03:10,282
I just wish we'd had them
in Mogadishu and Sierra Leone.
43
00:03:10,449 --> 00:03:12,909
But even though you have had
two mishaps in the Osprey?
44
00:03:13,076 --> 00:03:14,453
One was a gyro wired wrong.
45
00:03:14,619 --> 00:03:16,246
- Never happened again.
- And this time?
46
00:03:17,372 --> 00:03:21,084
No excuses, sir. I was a ham fist.
47
00:03:21,251 --> 00:03:24,337
Pretty damn embarrassing
with the whole world watching.
48
00:03:25,006 --> 00:03:26,674
No mechanical problems,
systems failures?
49
00:03:26,841 --> 00:03:29,343
Human failure, sir. Mine.
50
00:03:32,054 --> 00:03:33,514
You fell below drop altitude.
51
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:37,018
I was trying to maintain 10 to 15 feet
for the helocast,
52
00:03:37,185 --> 00:03:40,813
and the wind was gusting,
jumpers were a little slow getting out.
53
00:03:42,315 --> 00:03:44,401
I didn't see that big swell coming,
commander.
54
00:03:44,568 --> 00:03:48,197
Yeah, you're lucky you didn't drop that
bird on those Marines treading water.
55
00:03:48,363 --> 00:03:50,199
- Yes, sir.
- You're gonna have to appear
56
00:03:50,365 --> 00:03:52,493
before a Human Factors board,
possibly a FNAEB.
57
00:03:52,659 --> 00:03:55,287
- You could be grounded.
- I know, sir.
58
00:03:56,205 --> 00:03:58,832
Major, a lot of people blame
their aircraft, their ground crew...
59
00:03:58,999 --> 00:04:01,084
Hell, their high school
French teacher.
60
00:04:01,251 --> 00:04:03,086
Not Marine pilots, commander.
61
00:04:16,935 --> 00:04:20,605
Tiner? Starting your own law library?
62
00:04:20,772 --> 00:04:23,192
No, ma'am.
Just trawling for essay ideas
63
00:04:23,359 --> 00:04:25,528
for my Intro to Admiralty Law class.
64
00:04:25,694 --> 00:04:28,114
You wouldn't be trawling
through the file U.S. V. Ballard,
65
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,408
the one that Lieutenant Singer's
been demanding ASAP?
66
00:04:32,743 --> 00:04:34,703
- Sorry, ma'am.
- Careful, Tiner.
67
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:37,373
There's a phrase
that the admiral's very fond of using:
68
00:04:37,540 --> 00:04:38,958
"On your own time."
69
00:04:39,458 --> 00:04:41,168
Yes, ma'am.
70
00:04:41,335 --> 00:04:42,921
Tiner, in here yesterday.
71
00:04:43,088 --> 00:04:46,508
- Bring a pad of paper, a thick one.
- Aye, sir.
72
00:04:50,595 --> 00:04:52,222
Go.
73
00:04:56,351 --> 00:04:58,311
Great.
74
00:05:09,073 --> 00:05:11,367
Max Asher's the best pilot
in the squadron, ma'am.
75
00:05:11,534 --> 00:05:15,705
But maintaining low altitude
in gusty winds over water,
76
00:05:15,872 --> 00:05:19,584
whether it's a helo or an Osprey,
it's like standing on a bowling ball
77
00:05:19,750 --> 00:05:21,587
juggling a dozen eggs blindfolded.
78
00:05:21,753 --> 00:05:24,256
So you're saying it wasn't pilot error?
79
00:05:24,423 --> 00:05:26,967
Pilot and co-pilot error, ma'am.
80
00:05:27,134 --> 00:05:29,595
It's my job to monitor distance
above the water.
81
00:05:29,761 --> 00:05:31,013
If the winds were gusting,
82
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:33,348
why didn't Major Asher
scrub the mission?
83
00:05:33,515 --> 00:05:36,226
Conditions were Sea State 3,
within our capabilities.
84
00:05:36,685 --> 00:05:38,520
Anything else
affect pilot performance?
85
00:05:38,687 --> 00:05:39,939
Glare from the sun,
86
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:42,567
but there frequently is
when it's low on the horizon.
87
00:05:42,734 --> 00:05:43,985
Any mechanical failures?
88
00:05:44,152 --> 00:05:46,696
- No, ma'am.
- Hydraulics, avionics, anything?
89
00:05:46,863 --> 00:05:49,282
No excuses, ma'am.
We just put it in the water.
90
00:05:50,325 --> 00:05:53,703
Ma'am, I hope no one knocks
the airframe for our foul-up.
91
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:55,997
Well, this isn't about the Osprey,
captain.
92
00:05:56,164 --> 00:05:58,918
Well, respectfully, ma'am,
it sure as hell is.
93
00:06:06,717 --> 00:06:08,636
Hope that congressman's
doing okay, sir.
94
00:06:08,803 --> 00:06:11,806
His neck's a little sore,
but his mouth still works.
95
00:06:11,972 --> 00:06:14,100
We need all the friends in Congress
we can get, sir.
96
00:06:14,266 --> 00:06:15,309
Wouldn't worry about it.
97
00:06:15,476 --> 00:06:18,313
Congressman Fetzer's never met
a weapons system he didn't like.
98
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,566
Well, what about that other one?
The woman?
99
00:06:21,733 --> 00:06:25,362
Well, was Major Asher's aircraft
equipped with a flight-data recorder?
100
00:06:25,529 --> 00:06:26,863
Two of them, in fact, ma'am.
101
00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:29,741
An engine-diagnostics unit
and a crash-survival memory unit.
102
00:06:29,908 --> 00:06:31,952
A CSMU
would have been overwritten.
103
00:06:32,119 --> 00:06:34,204
Yes, sir.
It's on a seven-and-a-half-minute loop.
104
00:06:34,371 --> 00:06:36,874
Did you download
the performance data from the EDU?
105
00:06:37,041 --> 00:06:38,751
No, sir. They outflew that box too.
106
00:06:38,918 --> 00:06:40,586
They were only 30 minutes
from New River.
107
00:06:40,753 --> 00:06:42,255
Well, Major Asher
flew Corporal O'Dell
108
00:06:42,421 --> 00:06:45,049
to the Naval hospital at Portsmouth
for a medical test.
109
00:06:45,216 --> 00:06:48,094
- What were his injuries?
- It turned out he was okay, sir.
110
00:06:57,229 --> 00:06:58,981
- Hey.
- Hi.
111
00:06:59,148 --> 00:07:00,983
- I thought you were in court today?
- I was.
112
00:07:01,150 --> 00:07:04,403
- It's 1730.
- Oh, my gosh.
113
00:07:05,195 --> 00:07:07,865
- What you doing in here?
- Oh, I couldn't concentrate out there.
114
00:07:08,031 --> 00:07:11,243
Tiner's doing
his Post-It Note inventory.
115
00:07:12,661 --> 00:07:14,872
When does a conviction
become final?
116
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:17,417
Well, it depends.
Was there a general court-martial
117
00:07:17,584 --> 00:07:19,043
where a discharge was awarded?
118
00:07:20,503 --> 00:07:21,546
Sure.
119
00:07:21,713 --> 00:07:24,549
Well, then after the appellate review
is either waived or completed
120
00:07:24,716 --> 00:07:27,635
and the punitive discharge is executed.
Why?
121
00:07:27,802 --> 00:07:31,055
Senior Chief Litrell
was convicted of stealing $3,000
122
00:07:31,222 --> 00:07:32,682
from the commissary at Norfolk.
123
00:07:32,849 --> 00:07:36,103
He spent 2 years in the brig and
he lost all of his retirement benefits.
124
00:07:36,604 --> 00:07:41,776
- Too bad. Somebody you know?
- No, the court-martial was in 1976.
125
00:07:41,942 --> 00:07:43,986
But doesn't that seem a little weird
to you?
126
00:07:44,487 --> 00:07:45,988
I mean, look at this guy's career.
127
00:07:46,155 --> 00:07:49,533
Achievement Medal, Navy Com.
He made chief in less than 12 years.
128
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:53,120
- So?
- So why'd he do it?
129
00:07:53,287 --> 00:07:56,208
- For the money?
- For $3,000?
130
00:07:56,374 --> 00:07:58,126
He was gonna make master chief
in 2 months.
131
00:07:58,293 --> 00:07:59,461
He had no financial problems.
132
00:07:59,628 --> 00:08:01,546
Why throw his career away
for something stupid?
133
00:08:01,713 --> 00:08:04,758
What, you have to be a seaman recruit
to do something stupid?
134
00:08:04,925 --> 00:08:06,927
In '93, there was an acting
Secretary of the Army
135
00:08:07,093 --> 00:08:10,055
who got caught shoplifting at a PX.
136
00:08:10,305 --> 00:08:13,100
I happen to think
that Senior Chief Litrell was innocent.
137
00:08:13,768 --> 00:08:17,939
- And what's your proof?
- Well, for one, that.
138
00:08:18,147 --> 00:08:20,691
A member
of the volunteer fire brigade?
139
00:08:21,359 --> 00:08:24,237
Well, that makes no sense.
Look, Harriet.
140
00:08:24,403 --> 00:08:27,657
You've discovered a criminal
who has acted out of character.
141
00:08:27,824 --> 00:08:29,158
Big surprise.
142
00:08:29,325 --> 00:08:31,661
What are you gonna do,
reopen up the case?
143
00:08:31,829 --> 00:08:34,164
I mean, come on, Harriet,
you're no Erin Brockovich.
144
00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:40,129
It didn't come out
the way that I wanted it to.
145
00:08:41,171 --> 00:08:42,798
Well, lieutenant,
146
00:08:42,965 --> 00:08:45,050
I'm sure you'd like
to have your office back.
147
00:08:47,553 --> 00:08:48,846
Harriet.
148
00:08:49,012 --> 00:08:52,100
- How'd you find out? It's a secret.
- In this office?
149
00:08:52,267 --> 00:08:54,269
Tiner's in charge of security.
150
00:08:54,435 --> 00:08:57,605
- Gunny's in charge of planning.
- Great, I'll alert a bail bondsman.
151
00:08:57,772 --> 00:09:01,901
- Don't tell Mic.
- Isn't a bachelor party kind of retro?
152
00:09:02,068 --> 00:09:03,111
We're kind of retro.
153
00:09:03,278 --> 00:09:05,822
Colonel, commander?
The admiral's waiting.
154
00:09:07,073 --> 00:09:08,700
Coming.
155
00:09:10,911 --> 00:09:12,455
Enter.
156
00:09:12,913 --> 00:09:14,248
Sir.
157
00:09:14,415 --> 00:09:17,126
- Congresswoman Latham.
- Colonel. Commander.
158
00:09:17,293 --> 00:09:19,837
Congresswoman Latham
is interested in your investigation,
159
00:09:20,004 --> 00:09:22,756
and not just
because she got her feet wet.
160
00:09:22,923 --> 00:09:25,342
- You wanna kill the Osprey?
- Put it out of its misery.
161
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:28,471
Vice President Cheney had
the right idea two administrations ago.
162
00:09:28,637 --> 00:09:30,682
Now you and your committee
are gonna try to do it?
163
00:09:30,849 --> 00:09:32,058
The pilots admit error.
164
00:09:32,225 --> 00:09:35,020
There's no evidence
the Osprey failed in any respect.
165
00:09:35,187 --> 00:09:37,689
The Marines want that aircraft
so much, they might be...
166
00:09:37,856 --> 00:09:40,692
How should I put it?
- Blind to the Osprey's defects.
167
00:09:40,859 --> 00:09:42,152
Conditions were difficult.
168
00:09:42,319 --> 00:09:44,154
I was there.
It wasn't particularly hazardous.
169
00:09:44,321 --> 00:09:47,783
Ma'am, Major Asher was flying
into the sun. The wind was gusting.
170
00:09:47,949 --> 00:09:49,368
Are you suggesting the Osprey
171
00:09:49,535 --> 00:09:52,121
can only operate in the shade
on a day without a breeze?
172
00:09:52,288 --> 00:09:53,873
I play golf in tougher conditions.
173
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,082
Congresswoman Latham,
174
00:09:55,249 --> 00:09:57,335
I'm suggesting
that the aircraft be judged
175
00:09:57,502 --> 00:09:59,629
by people who understand
the fundamentals of flight.
176
00:09:59,796 --> 00:10:02,465
What Commander Rabb meant
was that we are confident
177
00:10:02,632 --> 00:10:05,593
Congresswoman Latham will be fair
in judging all the evidence.
178
00:10:06,052 --> 00:10:08,972
Good. Then you shouldn't have
a problem turning over your files.
179
00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:12,059
- No problem at all.
- Easier than I thought.
180
00:10:12,226 --> 00:10:14,019
Congressman Fetzer's
asked for our files.
181
00:10:14,186 --> 00:10:15,979
At the same time,
he asked Colonel MacKenzie
182
00:10:16,146 --> 00:10:17,356
to assist the committee.
183
00:10:27,784 --> 00:10:30,662
The MV-22 Osprey
combines the speed and range
184
00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:34,582
of a fixed-wing cargo plane
with the vertical lift of a helicopter.
185
00:10:34,749 --> 00:10:37,836
It can do everything a CH-46 does
and do it better.
186
00:10:38,002 --> 00:10:41,840
Amphibious assault, combat search
and rescue, med-evac, special ops.
187
00:10:42,423 --> 00:10:45,885
It flies higher, faster
and farther than the 46
188
00:10:46,053 --> 00:10:48,055
and carries three times the payload.
189
00:10:48,222 --> 00:10:51,100
If we had the Osprey in Vietnam,
190
00:10:51,267 --> 00:10:53,310
there'd be fewer names on The Wall.
191
00:10:53,477 --> 00:10:54,854
If we had it 20 years ago,
192
00:10:55,020 --> 00:10:58,232
we could have rescued every hostage
in Tehran without refuelling.
193
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:00,276
No disaster in the desert.
194
00:11:00,442 --> 00:11:02,319
General Onichimoski,
195
00:11:02,486 --> 00:11:05,740
the Osprey has managed
to have plenty of disasters right here.
196
00:11:05,907 --> 00:11:07,909
That's an overstatement,
madam chairman.
197
00:11:08,076 --> 00:11:10,370
There have been four
Class-A mishaps.
198
00:11:10,537 --> 00:11:14,624
"Mishaps" seems like
such a euphemism for 30 fatalities.
199
00:11:14,791 --> 00:11:16,710
Over ten years, ma'am.
200
00:11:16,877 --> 00:11:18,670
Let's talk about this past year,
general.
201
00:11:18,837 --> 00:11:20,881
What caused
last December's fatal crash?
202
00:11:21,047 --> 00:11:22,424
Investigation's not complete,
203
00:11:22,591 --> 00:11:24,385
but it would appear
as a hydraulics failure.
204
00:11:24,552 --> 00:11:27,472
And the fatal crash
last April in Arizona?
205
00:11:27,638 --> 00:11:30,516
Human factors, ma'am. The pilot
descended too rapidly and lost lift.
206
00:11:30,683 --> 00:11:33,102
Same thing could have happened
in a conventional helicopter
207
00:11:33,269 --> 00:11:34,729
had the pilot
made the same mistake.
208
00:11:34,896 --> 00:11:36,731
I guess that explains the expression:
209
00:11:36,898 --> 00:11:39,275
"Aircraft manuals
are written in blood."
210
00:11:40,693 --> 00:11:42,236
I'm an aviator, ma'am.
211
00:11:42,403 --> 00:11:44,406
I've flown Sea Knights,
Sea Stallions,
212
00:11:44,573 --> 00:11:46,825
just about every helo
in Marine Aviation.
213
00:11:46,992 --> 00:11:50,621
So I know from experience
how well the Osprey stacks up
214
00:11:50,788 --> 00:11:51,830
against any of them.
215
00:11:51,997 --> 00:11:53,373
Overall, general,
216
00:11:53,916 --> 00:11:56,502
how would you characterise
the Osprey's safety record?
217
00:11:56,668 --> 00:11:59,922
Good, sir.
Particularly for a new aircraft.
218
00:12:00,088 --> 00:12:01,131
Despite the crashes?
219
00:12:01,298 --> 00:12:05,428
Military aviation will never be risk free,
ma'am, no matter what the airframe.
220
00:12:05,595 --> 00:12:09,599
Two months ago, two Black Hawk
helicopters collided in Hawaii.
221
00:12:09,766 --> 00:12:11,267
Six soldiers were killed.
222
00:12:11,434 --> 00:12:14,604
Last month, a C-23 Sherpa
crashed in Georgia,
223
00:12:14,771 --> 00:12:16,773
killing 21 National Guardsmen.
224
00:12:16,940 --> 00:12:19,359
And no one is suggesting
grounding those aircraft.
225
00:12:19,526 --> 00:12:22,988
Black Hawks and Sherpas
are tried and proven. The Osprey isn't.
226
00:12:23,155 --> 00:12:25,324
Never will be
if it's not given the chance.
227
00:12:25,491 --> 00:12:29,703
The investigation has cleared
the aircraft in the most recent mishap,
228
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:31,789
as Colonel MacKenzie can attest.
229
00:12:31,956 --> 00:12:34,917
The pilot signed a statement
taking full responsibility.
230
00:12:35,084 --> 00:12:38,254
Does he also assume responsibility
for taking the long way home?
231
00:12:38,420 --> 00:12:40,673
Overwriting
the engine-diagnostics unit?
232
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,468
An injured Marine
needed assistance.
233
00:12:44,427 --> 00:12:45,470
Did he?
234
00:12:47,597 --> 00:12:50,308
I usually have a client pegged
inside of 15 minutes.
235
00:12:51,893 --> 00:12:53,562
But when I defended
Senior Chief Litrell,
236
00:12:53,728 --> 00:12:55,438
I couldn't figure him out at all.
237
00:12:55,605 --> 00:12:58,817
- How do you mean, sir?
- The prosecution's case was thin.
238
00:12:58,984 --> 00:13:03,447
Some nearsighted mechanic spots him
leaving the commissary at 3 a.m.
239
00:13:03,614 --> 00:13:06,325
From a distance in the dark.
240
00:13:06,492 --> 00:13:10,204
I was a pretty green JAG lawyer,
but I thought I could win that one.
241
00:13:10,371 --> 00:13:13,916
All Senior Chief Litrell had to do
was step up and defend himself.
242
00:13:14,083 --> 00:13:15,626
But he didn't.
243
00:13:15,793 --> 00:13:18,337
Did he actually confess?
I mean, to you?
244
00:13:19,506 --> 00:13:22,676
Looks like someone's forgotten
about attorney-client privilege.
245
00:13:23,927 --> 00:13:28,640
I never did ask the reason
for your interest in this case.
246
00:13:28,807 --> 00:13:31,560
After reviewing the case file,
I came to the conclusion
247
00:13:31,727 --> 00:13:35,230
that Senior Chief Litrell
was completely innocent.
248
00:13:35,397 --> 00:13:37,566
Completely innocent?
249
00:13:39,903 --> 00:13:42,113
You're not wearing the mill rind.
250
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,992
You're not an attorney, are you?
251
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,204
No, sir. I work in office admin.
252
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:52,415
Well, thanks for the input.
253
00:13:52,582 --> 00:13:56,711
Nothing like criticism from a secretary
to keep you on your toes.
254
00:13:56,878 --> 00:13:59,632
I didn't mean to mislead you, sir.
255
00:13:59,882 --> 00:14:01,300
I'm sure you didn't.
256
00:14:01,926 --> 00:14:03,969
Mr. Slater, do you think he did it?
257
00:14:05,930 --> 00:14:07,431
No.
258
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:10,893
Then why
wouldn't he defend himself?
259
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:13,813
Only thing I could think of
was he was protecting someone.
260
00:14:13,979 --> 00:14:17,651
- Who? Why?
- He had a boot camp buddy.
261
00:14:17,818 --> 00:14:21,613
Petty Officer Graf. They were tight.
262
00:14:21,780 --> 00:14:23,573
Graf worked part-time
at the commissary,
263
00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:25,992
and he had a juvenile record
for burglary.
264
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:29,037
I looked it up.
Litrell wouldn't let me go there.
265
00:14:29,204 --> 00:14:31,373
The senior chief
had an exemplary record.
266
00:14:31,540 --> 00:14:33,792
It still doesn't make sense
that he was convicted.
267
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:35,627
There was one other thing.
268
00:14:35,794 --> 00:14:38,005
He was supposed to be honchoing
delivery of supplies
269
00:14:38,172 --> 00:14:40,758
to the Amphib base that night,
but he never showed.
270
00:14:40,925 --> 00:14:43,386
He refused to tell anyone
where he was.
271
00:14:43,553 --> 00:14:44,887
Even his attorney.
272
00:14:51,185 --> 00:14:54,647
You still here? Bobbi Latham
doesn't like to be kept waiting.
273
00:14:54,814 --> 00:14:57,734
Do you know who she's calling
as an impartial weapons analyst?
274
00:14:57,901 --> 00:14:59,987
William Markey.
275
00:15:00,654 --> 00:15:04,575
Naysayer of the FX Fighter,
slayer of the A-12.
276
00:15:04,741 --> 00:15:07,578
If he had his way, we'd still be
arming our troops with crossbows.
277
00:15:07,744 --> 00:15:09,621
They'd come in under budget.
278
00:15:09,788 --> 00:15:13,500
What kind of a person becomes
a civilian-defence analyst anyway?
279
00:15:14,001 --> 00:15:16,838
Kind of guy who wants to make
a name for himself by killing weapons.
280
00:15:17,005 --> 00:15:20,216
- So how impartial is he?
- He does his homework, Mac.
281
00:15:20,383 --> 00:15:24,095
- Scores solid points.
- So do I.
282
00:15:24,637 --> 00:15:26,431
The hydraulics are problematic.
283
00:15:26,598 --> 00:15:29,559
There's a documented risk
of vortex ring state,
284
00:15:29,726 --> 00:15:32,770
and the tiltrotor technology
raises many unanswered questions.
285
00:15:32,937 --> 00:15:35,107
In sum, Mr. Markey?
286
00:15:35,274 --> 00:15:39,236
Given the high cost
and the uncertainty over safety,
287
00:15:39,528 --> 00:15:41,614
the Osprey programme
should be deferred
288
00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:45,618
in favour of updating the CH-46
289
00:15:45,784 --> 00:15:48,037
for the Marines' medium-lift assault
requirements.
290
00:15:48,204 --> 00:15:51,499
Mr. Markey, do you know why
the aircraft is called the Osprey?
291
00:15:52,249 --> 00:15:55,253
Because Edsel was taken?
292
00:15:55,420 --> 00:15:57,714
Because like the bird,
293
00:15:58,215 --> 00:16:02,844
it has a spectacular ability to fly,
to hover and to dive.
294
00:16:03,011 --> 00:16:06,097
Well, there are a lot less expensive
ways to accomplish these things,
295
00:16:06,264 --> 00:16:07,891
but with proven technology.
296
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:10,769
Madam chairman,
I'm not sure I have the knowledge
297
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:13,314
to debate a GAO weapons analyst.
298
00:16:13,481 --> 00:16:16,442
Since when did lack of expertise
silence you, Harold?
299
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:21,239
So I've asked Colonel MacKenzie
to enquire in my behalf.
300
00:16:28,329 --> 00:16:30,540
The CH-46
dates from the Vietnam War,
301
00:16:30,706 --> 00:16:31,834
doesn't it, Mr. Markey?
302
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,002
Yes, but it's reliable.
303
00:16:34,169 --> 00:16:37,172
Well, when it was new,
it had numerous mishaps, didn't it?
304
00:16:37,339 --> 00:16:41,260
- Some.
- More than 40 in its first 5 years.
305
00:16:41,969 --> 00:16:45,264
- Yes.
- What about UH-1 helo, the Huey?
306
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:46,807
About the same number.
307
00:16:46,974 --> 00:16:50,311
In fact, Mr. Markey, aren't mishaps
common with new aircraft?
308
00:16:50,478 --> 00:16:52,772
- Unfortunately, yes.
- And that's been an accepted risk
309
00:16:52,939 --> 00:16:55,775
of new technology for as long
as there's been military aviation.
310
00:16:56,442 --> 00:16:58,319
- Yes.
- So when the first B-17
311
00:16:58,486 --> 00:17:01,281
and the first B-29 crashed,
the programmes weren't shut down.
312
00:17:01,447 --> 00:17:04,075
- Boeing made improvements, correct?
- Yes, but...
313
00:17:04,242 --> 00:17:07,203
Enough to carry out bombing missions
over Germany and Japan
314
00:17:07,370 --> 00:17:09,080
and to help win World War II?
315
00:17:09,790 --> 00:17:11,792
But that was wartime, colonel.
316
00:17:11,959 --> 00:17:15,588
In peacetime, our society has
much less tolerance for the loss of life.
317
00:17:15,754 --> 00:17:18,841
When should we prepare for war,
Mr. Markey?
318
00:17:19,008 --> 00:17:20,634
I'm not sure I follow you.
319
00:17:20,801 --> 00:17:24,013
If we wait for the shooting to start,
won't it be too late?
320
00:17:25,639 --> 00:17:29,352
- How did it feel, Gunny? Really.
- It hurt, Tiner. Really.
321
00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:32,022
Commander, you were shot once,
weren't you, sir?
322
00:17:32,189 --> 00:17:35,066
- It hurts.
- See?
323
00:17:36,234 --> 00:17:38,361
- How's the planning going?
- We should do something
324
00:17:38,528 --> 00:17:42,324
- very special for Mr. Brumby, sir.
- Like deport him?
325
00:17:42,491 --> 00:17:44,701
What do they do in Australia
when a bachelor takes a fall?
326
00:17:44,868 --> 00:17:47,997
I don't know, but I'm sure mass
quantities of alcohol are consumed.
327
00:17:48,164 --> 00:17:50,416
Get him drunk
and watch him box a kangaroo.
328
00:17:51,834 --> 00:17:54,420
I don't think Brumby
would find that too humourous.
329
00:17:54,587 --> 00:17:56,631
He wouldn't find what
too humourous?
330
00:17:56,798 --> 00:17:57,840
Nothing.
331
00:17:58,007 --> 00:17:59,717
There's a Marine
waiting in your office.
332
00:18:01,177 --> 00:18:02,595
Thank you, Tiner.
333
00:18:12,648 --> 00:18:14,650
- At ease, corporal.
- O'Dell, ma'am.
334
00:18:14,817 --> 00:18:17,361
I was one of the jumpers
on Major Asher's flight.
335
00:18:17,528 --> 00:18:20,906
This morning, I got a subpoena
to testify before Latham's committee.
336
00:18:21,073 --> 00:18:23,033
O'Dell.
You were one of the casualties.
337
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,202
I wouldn't call it a casualty, ma'am.
338
00:18:25,369 --> 00:18:28,206
I just saw stars for a few seconds
when the plane hit the water.
339
00:18:28,373 --> 00:18:30,625
- My head smacked the bulkhead.
- You weren't injured?
340
00:18:30,792 --> 00:18:32,168
Not really, ma'am.
341
00:18:32,335 --> 00:18:35,922
But Major Asher insisted on flying me
to the Naval hospital at Portsmouth.
342
00:18:36,089 --> 00:18:38,508
He just wanted to be sure
you were all right.
343
00:18:38,675 --> 00:18:39,968
Well, ma'am,
344
00:18:40,135 --> 00:18:43,721
I told the major I've been hit harder
playing touch football.
345
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:49,687
You put the inspector general's
quarterly report in the May tickler
346
00:18:49,854 --> 00:18:53,566
instead of April,
causing the IG to call personally
347
00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:55,442
asking where the hell it was.
348
00:18:55,609 --> 00:18:59,113
You forgot to reserve
the conference room for a meeting
349
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,907
with the Czech delegation,
so we had to meet in mess hall.
350
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:05,203
They weren't crazy
about the Tater Tot Casserole.
351
00:19:05,370 --> 00:19:06,872
I forget anything?
352
00:19:07,038 --> 00:19:11,668
I confused the costume party
with Senator Hatch's reception, sir.
353
00:19:11,835 --> 00:19:14,504
Let's not talk about the costume party,
okay?
354
00:19:15,672 --> 00:19:19,009
Let's talk about something important.
355
00:19:19,468 --> 00:19:21,011
Something important enough, sir,
356
00:19:21,178 --> 00:19:24,891
for me to screw up absolutely
everything for this past week?
357
00:19:29,103 --> 00:19:33,858
Sir, I ran across a file
involving a Senior Chief Litrell.
358
00:19:34,025 --> 00:19:38,571
He was convicted of stealing $3,000
from the commissary at Norfolk.
359
00:19:38,738 --> 00:19:39,947
In 1976.
360
00:19:43,285 --> 00:19:45,454
I don't think he did it, sir.
361
00:19:45,621 --> 00:19:47,456
Lieutenant,
362
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:52,961
your job is not to second-guess a...
363
00:19:53,128 --> 00:19:55,881
What, 25-year-old court-martial?
364
00:19:56,048 --> 00:19:57,925
Your job is to make sure
365
00:19:58,091 --> 00:20:01,053
that everything runs smoothly
between this office and the Pentagon.
366
00:20:01,220 --> 00:20:05,225
Starting right now, you will dedicate
100 percent of your time
367
00:20:05,391 --> 00:20:07,811
and effort to your job.
368
00:20:07,977 --> 00:20:09,896
- Is that understood?
- Yes, sir.
369
00:20:10,063 --> 00:20:12,273
Good. Dismissed.
370
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,858
Aye, sir.
371
00:20:19,113 --> 00:20:20,532
Lieutenant?
372
00:20:21,408 --> 00:20:22,451
Sir?
373
00:20:22,618 --> 00:20:27,206
Of course, if you wanna pursue
the enquiry on your own time...
374
00:20:27,873 --> 00:20:29,792
Thank you, sir.
375
00:20:35,673 --> 00:20:38,342
Major Asher,
you have the right to an attorney.
376
00:20:38,509 --> 00:20:40,846
I don't need to hide
behind a mouthpiece, ma'am.
377
00:20:41,972 --> 00:20:44,182
- No offence.
- None taken.
378
00:20:44,850 --> 00:20:47,310
You wanna tell me about that wild
goose chase to Portsmouth?
379
00:20:47,477 --> 00:20:49,354
I had casualties on board, ma'am.
380
00:20:49,521 --> 00:20:51,439
Any reason
why Sergeant Grieco's sprained ankle
381
00:20:51,606 --> 00:20:53,608
couldn't be treated in sick bay
at New River?
382
00:20:53,775 --> 00:20:55,277
I'm sure it could have been, ma'am.
383
00:20:55,443 --> 00:20:58,697
Congressman Fetzer didn't even
complain about his neck, did he?
384
00:20:58,864 --> 00:21:01,409
I guess it started hurting the next day,
ma'am.
385
00:21:01,576 --> 00:21:04,162
Then why the detour
to the hospital in Portsmouth?
386
00:21:04,328 --> 00:21:05,955
Why not to the nearest
medical facility?
387
00:21:06,122 --> 00:21:07,915
Corporal O'Dell
had a possible concussion.
388
00:21:08,082 --> 00:21:09,792
Portsmouth
is better equipped for that.
389
00:21:09,959 --> 00:21:11,794
I'm on your side,
but I gotta have the truth.
390
00:21:11,961 --> 00:21:13,087
You've got it.
391
00:21:13,254 --> 00:21:15,756
I put that bird in the water,
I hurt that marine.
392
00:21:15,923 --> 00:21:18,342
They train us
to treat head injuries seriously.
393
00:21:18,509 --> 00:21:20,262
Corporal O'Dell
says he wasn't injured.
394
00:21:20,971 --> 00:21:23,140
He was trying to hang tough.
He was definitely woozy.
395
00:21:23,307 --> 00:21:25,809
I thought it prudent for him
to get a CAT scan.
396
00:21:25,976 --> 00:21:29,313
According to the corporal, he needed
a candy striper with a bottle of aspirin.
397
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,192
He's a good Marine, ma'am, but
he's not a board-certified neurologist.
398
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:35,277
Let me ask you directly, major.
399
00:21:35,444 --> 00:21:37,906
Did you fly to Portsmouth
out of concern for Corporal O'Dell
400
00:21:38,072 --> 00:21:40,200
or because you wanted
to override the EDU?
401
00:21:40,366 --> 00:21:41,868
Why would I do that, ma'am?
402
00:21:42,035 --> 00:21:44,496
To erase data
that might reveal a systems failure?
403
00:21:44,662 --> 00:21:46,498
To protect the Osprey programme?
404
00:21:47,665 --> 00:21:49,751
Is that what Congresswoman Latham
is gonna say?
405
00:21:49,918 --> 00:21:52,253
She's gonna say whatever it takes
to kill the Osprey.
406
00:21:52,420 --> 00:21:54,923
I just hope you haven't helped her.
407
00:22:01,555 --> 00:22:05,976
The long-tortured flight of the Osprey
may be nearing its end.
408
00:22:06,143 --> 00:22:08,896
Not only are there safety
and reliability questions,
409
00:22:09,063 --> 00:22:12,733
but now there are questions
of a possible cover-up of mishap data.
410
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:15,152
Congresswoman,
what's the evidence of that?
411
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,698
A mishap occurred on a recent flight
on which I was a passenger.
412
00:22:18,865 --> 00:22:21,326
The pilot
apparently went to great lengths
413
00:22:21,493 --> 00:22:25,163
to make the flight-data recorder
unavailable to investigators.
414
00:22:25,330 --> 00:22:27,249
Do you expect criminal charges?
415
00:22:27,415 --> 00:22:30,043
My committee will subpoena
the pilot to testify,
416
00:22:30,210 --> 00:22:32,337
though I wouldn't be surprised
if he took the Fifth.
417
00:22:32,504 --> 00:22:33,880
It would surprise me.
418
00:22:34,047 --> 00:22:36,509
No proof that major Asher
intentionally overwrote the data.
419
00:22:36,676 --> 00:22:39,428
Now that she's taken it to the press,
she's gonna have to prove it.
420
00:22:39,595 --> 00:22:42,849
Osprey can survive a mishap,
but tampering with data?
421
00:22:43,015 --> 00:22:45,184
Assume that Major Asher
did what she claims he did.
422
00:22:45,351 --> 00:22:47,145
- What was his motive?
- To save the Osprey?
423
00:22:47,311 --> 00:22:49,897
Because he believes
it is a valuable aircraft.
424
00:22:50,064 --> 00:22:53,943
Sounds like a defence lawyer's
closing arguments. Are you?
425
00:22:54,653 --> 00:22:57,573
He wanted a lawyer
with knowledge of aerodynamics.
426
00:23:12,212 --> 00:23:13,589
Hi, Mr. Litrell?
427
00:23:13,756 --> 00:23:16,217
- Yes?
- I'm Lieutenant jg Harriet Sims,
428
00:23:16,384 --> 00:23:19,554
and I was wondering
if I could talk to you for just a second.
429
00:23:19,846 --> 00:23:22,807
- Am I being drafted?
- No, sir. I'm from JAG.
430
00:23:22,974 --> 00:23:26,269
And if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to
you about what happened at Norfolk.
431
00:23:27,562 --> 00:23:30,565
In or out, folks. AC is running.
432
00:23:30,732 --> 00:23:32,609
Honey,
this is Lieutenant Harriet Sims.
433
00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:34,945
She's here to talk about Norfolk.
434
00:23:36,238 --> 00:23:38,741
Well, where are your manners, David?
Invite the lieutenant in.
435
00:23:40,367 --> 00:23:41,994
- Come in.
- Thank you, sir.
436
00:23:46,123 --> 00:23:47,374
We were sitting down to lunch.
437
00:23:47,541 --> 00:23:49,460
- Have you eaten?
- Sorry, I could come back.
438
00:23:49,627 --> 00:23:51,295
Oh, no, please.
Honey, set another place.
439
00:23:51,462 --> 00:23:53,256
I'll go put another burger on the grill.
440
00:23:53,423 --> 00:23:55,592
- You have a lovely home.
- Thank you.
441
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:59,012
When you're a Navy wife,
you learn to make do with a little.
442
00:23:59,179 --> 00:24:00,972
I'll be right back.
443
00:24:02,682 --> 00:24:04,684
You said
you wanted to talk about Norfolk.
444
00:24:04,851 --> 00:24:07,562
I assume you don't mean
the harbour festival.
445
00:24:07,729 --> 00:24:09,147
No, sir.
446
00:24:09,314 --> 00:24:12,902
I recently came across
your case file,
447
00:24:14,028 --> 00:24:15,988
and I don't believe
you took the money.
448
00:24:16,155 --> 00:24:18,658
I'm afraid the judge believed differently,
lieutenant.
449
00:24:18,825 --> 00:24:20,618
Well, sir, reading your file,
450
00:24:20,785 --> 00:24:23,746
it seems that
you were a little less than truthful
451
00:24:23,913 --> 00:24:25,373
about your whereabouts
that evening.
452
00:24:25,540 --> 00:24:27,500
I was never anything but truthful.
453
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:30,169
They asked if I stole the money,
I said no.
454
00:24:30,336 --> 00:24:32,673
They asked if I knew
who stole the money, I said no.
455
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,551
They asked me about
my whereabouts, I said I couldn't say.
456
00:24:35,717 --> 00:24:38,178
And I couldn't, and I can't.
457
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,431
Major Slater,
your attorney, seems to think
458
00:24:41,598 --> 00:24:44,184
you were protecting your friend,
Petty Officer Graf.
459
00:24:44,351 --> 00:24:48,480
Slater's a moron.
Tom Graf didn't take that money.
460
00:24:48,647 --> 00:24:50,608
He was a completely honest man.
461
00:24:50,775 --> 00:24:52,402
I was planning
on talking to him next.
462
00:24:52,569 --> 00:24:55,488
You better keep that conversation
in the planning stages, lieutenant.
463
00:24:57,615 --> 00:24:59,284
Tom died 12 years ago.
464
00:24:59,868 --> 00:25:02,745
We truly appreciate your concern,
but you're talking about something
465
00:25:02,912 --> 00:25:05,456
that happened
when your bike still had a banana seat.
466
00:25:05,623 --> 00:25:07,167
It's over.
467
00:25:08,001 --> 00:25:10,713
- Sir.
- Have a seat, major.
468
00:25:11,714 --> 00:25:15,301
Report from the December
Osprey mishap:
469
00:25:15,467 --> 00:25:17,928
A hydraulic line
on the left nacelle ruptured.
470
00:25:18,095 --> 00:25:21,724
Pilot pressed the reset button
exactly the way he was supposed to.
471
00:25:21,891 --> 00:25:24,101
Produced a software anomaly
which sent the aircraft
472
00:25:24,268 --> 00:25:26,353
into an uncontrollable pitch roll
and yaw.
473
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,813
Software did that, sir?
474
00:25:27,981 --> 00:25:30,483
Marine Corps has ordered
a review of the entire system.
475
00:25:31,443 --> 00:25:33,069
It's really piling up, isn't it, sir?
476
00:25:33,236 --> 00:25:35,238
I'm sure if Congresswoman Latham's
heard about it,
477
00:25:35,405 --> 00:25:38,450
she's already making her stiletto
even sharper.
478
00:25:39,743 --> 00:25:42,537
- What do you suggest I do, sir?
- Listen to them.
479
00:25:43,955 --> 00:25:46,208
Don't try to outthink them.
Yes, sirs and no, sirs.
480
00:25:46,374 --> 00:25:48,794
Don't be defensive
You're not on trial.
481
00:25:48,961 --> 00:25:50,546
Not yet.
482
00:25:50,713 --> 00:25:53,508
Major, I can ask for limited immunity
before your testimony.
483
00:25:53,674 --> 00:25:55,134
It's the prudent thing to do.
484
00:25:55,301 --> 00:25:57,553
And then it would look like
I'm hiding something.
485
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,598
Without it, anything you say
can be used against you
486
00:26:00,765 --> 00:26:03,309
by the FNAEB or a court-martial.
487
00:26:03,768 --> 00:26:06,229
They'd really try to ground me, sir?
488
00:26:06,396 --> 00:26:10,025
It's up to you, major.
You want me to ask for immunity?
489
00:26:11,902 --> 00:26:13,487
No, sir.
490
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,574
Major Asher,
you've been given the oath,
491
00:26:17,741 --> 00:26:20,702
which means any false statement
could be subject to criminal penalties.
492
00:26:21,203 --> 00:26:23,580
My client is a Marine officer
and does not need to be told
493
00:26:23,747 --> 00:26:26,125
- the meaning of an oath, ma'am.
- Good.
494
00:26:26,292 --> 00:26:29,796
Major Asher will fully and truthfully
explain the cause of the mishap
495
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:32,257
and why he acted
the way he did, ma'am.
496
00:26:32,423 --> 00:26:34,342
Candour from the military.
How refreshing.
497
00:26:34,509 --> 00:26:37,053
Or he could simply make a statement
to his commanding officer
498
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:39,597
and this committee
could go about its primary business
499
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:41,432
of giving press conferences.
500
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:44,269
Perhaps the major would like
to make his statement unimpeded
501
00:26:44,435 --> 00:26:46,480
by his counsel or the committee?
502
00:26:52,069 --> 00:26:54,655
On March 17th,
I was aircraft commander
503
00:26:54,822 --> 00:26:59,243
of an MV-22 Osprey
on a demonstration helocast mission.
504
00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:00,786
We had a crew of three.
505
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:04,708
Six jumpers and
two Congress members as guests.
506
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:09,129
Other VIPs and news media were
watching from a nearby Naval vessel.
507
00:27:09,296 --> 00:27:10,839
And what happened, major?
508
00:27:11,006 --> 00:27:13,967
We converted
from fixed-wing to vertical mode
509
00:27:14,134 --> 00:27:16,511
about 20 miles offshore
and descended
510
00:27:16,678 --> 00:27:19,139
to between 10 to 15 feet.
511
00:27:19,306 --> 00:27:21,641
The jumpers started out
the rear ramp.
512
00:27:21,808 --> 00:27:25,938
All systems were operating properly
until the engine-exhaust gas temp
513
00:27:26,105 --> 00:27:28,316
- started going up.
- What would cause that, major?
514
00:27:28,482 --> 00:27:32,612
Ocean spray through the intake.
Salt coats the compressor blades
515
00:27:32,778 --> 00:27:34,739
and reduces the airflow
into the engines.
516
00:27:34,906 --> 00:27:36,115
So your engine overheated?
517
00:27:36,282 --> 00:27:39,160
No, ma'am. I powered down a bit
and the temp never redlined.
518
00:27:39,327 --> 00:27:42,289
When you powered down,
did it cause you to hit the water?
519
00:27:42,456 --> 00:27:44,708
Not directly,
though we descended a few feet.
520
00:27:44,875 --> 00:27:47,377
Why didn't you just pull up
and get out of there?
521
00:27:47,544 --> 00:27:49,713
There were only two jumpers
to go by that time, ma'am.
522
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,799
I thought I could make it, but the wind
was kicking up a line of swells
523
00:27:52,966 --> 00:27:55,093
- and we got kissed by one of them.
- Kissed?
524
00:27:55,260 --> 00:27:58,722
There was no damage to the aircraft
and the injuries were minimal, ma'am.
525
00:27:58,889 --> 00:28:00,599
What were weather conditions,
major?
526
00:28:00,766 --> 00:28:03,353
Clear. Wind was out of the west
about 20 knots.
527
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,188
Swells of about 5 feet.
528
00:28:05,355 --> 00:28:07,565
And we were heading west,
as I recall.
529
00:28:07,732 --> 00:28:09,400
- Into the setting sun.
- That's correct.
530
00:28:09,567 --> 00:28:12,737
Just like landing, you always
try to helocast into the wind.
531
00:28:12,904 --> 00:28:15,907
Did the sun make it more difficult
to judge your distance from the water?
532
00:28:16,074 --> 00:28:20,286
There was a glare, ma'am,
and when the larger swell came at us,
533
00:28:20,453 --> 00:28:22,248
I didn't see it in time.
534
00:28:22,414 --> 00:28:25,042
- But your engines didn't stall?
- No, sir.
535
00:28:25,209 --> 00:28:27,044
Or suffer power loss?
536
00:28:27,211 --> 00:28:29,213
None felt or indicated
on instruments, sir.
537
00:28:29,380 --> 00:28:30,923
But you can't confirm that, can you,
538
00:28:31,090 --> 00:28:33,801
without the data
from the engine-diagnostics unit?
539
00:28:33,968 --> 00:28:35,010
- No, ma'am.
- Major,
540
00:28:35,177 --> 00:28:38,806
did you take the scenic route home
in order to overwrite the EDU?
541
00:28:38,973 --> 00:28:42,519
No, ma'am. In order to obtain
medical treatment for my crew.
542
00:28:42,686 --> 00:28:45,105
Couldn't they have been
adequately treated on your base?
543
00:28:45,272 --> 00:28:46,857
Portsmouth is a larger hospital,
ma'am,
544
00:28:47,023 --> 00:28:49,192
and I chose to err
on the side of caution.
545
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:51,736
That seems to be out of character
for you, major.
546
00:28:51,903 --> 00:28:54,197
With all due respect, ma'am,
that's uncalled for.
547
00:28:55,448 --> 00:28:56,867
I apologise, commander.
548
00:28:57,033 --> 00:29:00,121
In fact,
let me compliment your client.
549
00:29:00,288 --> 00:29:03,791
I understand that he has
a very distinguished record as a pilot.
550
00:29:03,958 --> 00:29:06,836
His CEPs are routinely
the best in his squadron, ma'am.
551
00:29:07,003 --> 00:29:10,089
And yet he wasn't able to control
the Osprey during the manoeuvre?
552
00:29:10,256 --> 00:29:13,634
Congresswoman Latham, he allowed
minimum contact with the water.
553
00:29:13,801 --> 00:29:15,928
Even when he says
there were no mechanical problems?
554
00:29:16,095 --> 00:29:19,099
- That's correct, ma'am.
- The Osprey performed perfectly,
555
00:29:19,266 --> 00:29:23,145
yet the best pilot in the squadron
flew it into the Atlantic Ocean.
556
00:29:24,354 --> 00:29:25,564
Which is it, major?
557
00:29:25,731 --> 00:29:28,817
Is the Osprey
mechanically unreliable,
558
00:29:28,984 --> 00:29:31,111
or is it impossible to fly?
559
00:29:32,821 --> 00:29:34,990
We have an aircraft
capable of mythic feats,
560
00:29:35,157 --> 00:29:37,535
and we're being nibbled to death
by the bean counters
561
00:29:37,702 --> 00:29:39,996
and the naysayers
and the news media.
562
00:29:42,624 --> 00:29:45,126
Colonel, we're taking a beating
over the Osprey hearings.
563
00:29:45,293 --> 00:29:47,670
I'm aware of that, sir.
564
00:29:48,171 --> 00:29:49,881
Congresswoman Latham
565
00:29:50,048 --> 00:29:52,258
has made Major Asher
look deceptive.
566
00:29:52,425 --> 00:29:54,677
The Congresswoman is good
at playing to the press, sir.
567
00:29:54,844 --> 00:29:56,889
The major is good
at flying helicopters.
568
00:29:57,056 --> 00:29:59,433
Today's editorial in the Times
569
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,019
calls for the court-martialing
of Major Asher.
570
00:30:02,186 --> 00:30:04,104
- For what, sir?
- Obstruction of justice.
571
00:30:04,271 --> 00:30:05,648
Conduct unbecoming.
572
00:30:05,814 --> 00:30:09,902
Offending the tender sensibilities
of the editorial writers.
573
00:30:10,069 --> 00:30:12,613
There's no evidence against him,
general. Only allegations.
574
00:30:12,780 --> 00:30:15,659
Which gain credibility
with every news broadcast.
575
00:30:16,117 --> 00:30:19,746
Winston Churchill said,
"A lie travels around the world
576
00:30:19,913 --> 00:30:22,541
while the truth
is putting on its boots."
577
00:30:24,209 --> 00:30:26,962
We need to put our boots on,
colonel.
578
00:30:34,804 --> 00:30:36,430
Hot chocolate?
579
00:30:38,808 --> 00:30:42,395
If you're here to give me grief about
my little crusade, you can get in line.
580
00:30:44,230 --> 00:30:47,400
Harriet, I take you seriously.
581
00:30:47,859 --> 00:30:52,113
If it seems like I don't, I'm sorry.
582
00:30:53,239 --> 00:30:56,493
Sometimes I get so wrapped up
in work here,
583
00:30:56,660 --> 00:30:58,620
I forget about what's important.
584
00:30:59,621 --> 00:31:01,915
Bud, I don't know why
you should take me seriously.
585
00:31:02,082 --> 00:31:04,751
Even the guy that I'm trying to help
wants me to leave him alone.
586
00:31:05,252 --> 00:31:07,379
I don't believe that.
587
00:31:07,713 --> 00:31:10,424
Bud, I didn't join the Navy
to push paper.
588
00:31:10,591 --> 00:31:12,968
And lately,
it just seems like that's all I'm good for.
589
00:31:13,136 --> 00:31:17,182
Harriet, listen to me.
I didn't marry a paper pusher.
590
00:31:17,348 --> 00:31:20,894
I married a woman who lights up
a room just by walking into it.
591
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:23,271
You're the only person I know
that can talk to anybody
592
00:31:23,438 --> 00:31:25,607
and make them feel good
about themselves.
593
00:31:26,107 --> 00:31:27,859
You shouldn't have to feel like this.
594
00:31:30,361 --> 00:31:33,199
Petty Officer Thomas Graf?
595
00:31:33,365 --> 00:31:36,202
Figured you could use a hand, so I ran
a search on your prime suspect,
596
00:31:36,368 --> 00:31:38,454
but please don't get too excited.
597
00:31:38,621 --> 00:31:39,747
It's bad news.
598
00:31:39,914 --> 00:31:41,916
Graf couldn't have
anything to do with the theft.
599
00:31:42,082 --> 00:31:44,251
He was training
in radar countermeasures that night
600
00:31:44,418 --> 00:31:45,586
at Dam Neck.
601
00:31:45,753 --> 00:31:47,546
Sorry.
602
00:31:48,005 --> 00:31:49,673
Got any cups?
603
00:31:55,472 --> 00:31:59,184
"Graf, Petty Officer Thomas.
Died March 6, 1989,
604
00:31:59,351 --> 00:32:00,852
myocardial infarction,
605
00:32:01,019 --> 00:32:05,482
leaving behind his loving wife
of 27 years, Amanda."
606
00:32:10,655 --> 00:32:12,782
Sometimes the ends
justify the means,
607
00:32:12,949 --> 00:32:14,951
but never when the ends
are unjustified.
608
00:32:15,117 --> 00:32:18,287
People can differ on whether
saving the Osprey is justified or not.
609
00:32:18,454 --> 00:32:21,749
Mac, I can't believe you're standing up
for a pilot who showed bad judgement,
610
00:32:21,916 --> 00:32:25,169
flew negligently
and intentionally destroyed evidence.
611
00:32:25,336 --> 00:32:26,420
Or two out of those three.
612
00:32:26,587 --> 00:32:28,714
I'm surprised you noticed
what position I was taking
613
00:32:28,881 --> 00:32:31,301
when you were playing
to the press gallery all day.
614
00:32:31,468 --> 00:32:34,304
And you? Grandstanding
for your Marine buddies?
615
00:32:34,471 --> 00:32:36,265
"Did the sun
make it more difficult?"
616
00:32:36,431 --> 00:32:39,518
Do you know why I agree with my
Marine buddies about the Osprey?
617
00:32:39,685 --> 00:32:41,687
Group think, colonel,
the scourge of the military.
618
00:32:41,854 --> 00:32:44,314
Has it ever occurred to you
that you might be wrong about this?
619
00:32:44,481 --> 00:32:45,607
No.
620
00:32:45,774 --> 00:32:49,195
I think Major Asher lied
about what caused the mishap.
621
00:32:49,362 --> 00:32:50,446
I don't believe that.
622
00:32:50,613 --> 00:32:53,241
Mac, there's technology
that can recover erased data
623
00:32:53,408 --> 00:32:54,659
from the flight recorder.
624
00:32:55,493 --> 00:32:57,704
If one of those engines
so much as burped,
625
00:32:57,871 --> 00:33:00,373
I'll see to it
that the Osprey never flies again.
626
00:33:11,260 --> 00:33:13,596
Pleasant to work on one of these
where there hasn't been a crash.
627
00:33:13,762 --> 00:33:15,431
What are the chances
you can restore data?
628
00:33:15,598 --> 00:33:16,724
That I don't know, colonel.
629
00:33:16,891 --> 00:33:19,143
They're still trying to recreate
the missing 18 minutes
630
00:33:19,310 --> 00:33:20,561
on Nixon's Watergate tape.
631
00:33:20,728 --> 00:33:22,563
But that's old technology.
632
00:33:22,730 --> 00:33:25,733
Unscrambling iron oxide particles
on a magnetic medium.
633
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:27,736
So you have a better chance?
634
00:33:27,903 --> 00:33:30,447
Well, with unlimited resources
and unlimited time.
635
00:33:30,614 --> 00:33:33,575
Well, what about with what you have
and a few hours?
636
00:33:33,742 --> 00:33:35,619
I'll see what I can do.
637
00:33:36,077 --> 00:33:38,747
All right, the recording
was compressed on a digital signal.
638
00:33:38,914 --> 00:33:42,042
It was overwritten as it assigned
a different address on the disk.
639
00:33:42,209 --> 00:33:44,628
My job is to recreate
the original sequence.
640
00:33:44,794 --> 00:33:48,299
So are you on the team
rooting I can or hoping I can't?
641
00:33:50,259 --> 00:33:51,344
There.
642
00:33:51,511 --> 00:33:55,223
Damn, if this were an EKG,
the patient would be brain dead.
643
00:33:56,182 --> 00:33:57,808
Or maybe not.
644
00:33:58,309 --> 00:34:01,854
- Is that it?
- Well, there is something.
645
00:34:03,147 --> 00:34:04,273
- What is it?
- Colonel,
646
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,901
you'll be one of the first to know.
647
00:34:06,068 --> 00:34:07,528
But now if you'll please excuse me.
648
00:34:13,408 --> 00:34:15,327
Mr. Litrell?
649
00:34:16,203 --> 00:34:20,415
Lieutenant Sims.
Know much about transmissions?
650
00:34:20,916 --> 00:34:24,044
- I know where you were, sir.
- Excuse me?
651
00:34:24,211 --> 00:34:27,549
The night of the robbery.
I know where you were.
652
00:34:29,175 --> 00:34:31,344
I spent 2 years in prison.
653
00:34:31,511 --> 00:34:34,264
Then I made a new life
and put it behind me. Why can't you?
654
00:34:34,430 --> 00:34:36,724
You spent 2 years in prison
for something you didn't do.
655
00:34:36,891 --> 00:34:38,560
It's not your business.
656
00:34:38,726 --> 00:34:41,479
You couldn't have stolen the money,
sir.
657
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:46,443
You were with your wife that night,
only she wasn't your wife then.
658
00:34:46,610 --> 00:34:50,239
She was the wife of your best friend,
Amanda Graf.
659
00:34:50,781 --> 00:34:53,284
Her husband was out of town,
and that's why you didn't report
660
00:34:53,450 --> 00:34:54,660
for your scheduled duty.
661
00:34:54,827 --> 00:34:58,414
- What do you want?
- It's not what I want, sir.
662
00:34:58,581 --> 00:35:00,624
You need to come forward.
663
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:04,588
- No.
- David.
664
00:35:06,923 --> 00:35:08,258
Maybe it's time.
665
00:35:12,220 --> 00:35:14,514
It'll never be time.
666
00:35:15,265 --> 00:35:18,143
You can clear your name, honey.
667
00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:21,855
Amanda, we had an agreement.
668
00:35:22,189 --> 00:35:23,316
For Tom.
669
00:35:28,321 --> 00:35:30,031
I'll be right in.
670
00:35:40,124 --> 00:35:42,336
Thank you for your concern,
lieutenant.
671
00:35:42,502 --> 00:35:44,046
If this could stay between us.
672
00:35:45,255 --> 00:35:49,468
Tom Graf is gone.
This can't hurt him.
673
00:35:49,635 --> 00:35:52,679
And your country owes you
25 years of back pay.
674
00:35:52,846 --> 00:35:54,515
Lieutenant, you don't understand.
675
00:35:54,681 --> 00:35:56,892
I'm not keeping the secret
to protect Tom.
676
00:35:57,059 --> 00:36:01,314
He's not the one who had the affair.
Amanda did.
677
00:36:01,689 --> 00:36:04,567
I won't have people
thinking of her like that.
678
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,578
I'm not too late, am I?
679
00:36:15,745 --> 00:36:18,540
Commander, you missed the flight,
but you can watch the playback.
680
00:36:18,706 --> 00:36:20,709
We've loaded the simulator
with all the data, sir.
681
00:36:20,876 --> 00:36:22,336
Wind, payload, saltwater intake.
682
00:36:22,503 --> 00:36:24,547
Of course, in the simulator,
I knew it was coming.
683
00:36:24,713 --> 00:36:26,799
Yeah, well you're still 10 feet
above the water.
684
00:36:26,966 --> 00:36:28,926
Doesn't leave you
a lot of time to react, major.
685
00:36:29,093 --> 00:36:32,179
That may be the first kind word a
fighter jock's ever had for a helo pilot.
686
00:36:32,346 --> 00:36:34,849
I'm sure a few said thank you
when you fished them out.
687
00:36:35,015 --> 00:36:37,059
They always said to me,
"What took you so long?"
688
00:36:37,226 --> 00:36:38,853
- Yeah.
- Okay,
689
00:36:39,019 --> 00:36:41,147
here's where the engine temp
started rising.
690
00:36:41,314 --> 00:36:43,525
I powered down a bit.
691
00:36:43,984 --> 00:36:45,652
Descended below 10 feet.
692
00:36:45,819 --> 00:36:48,154
Here comes the big swell.
Powering up.
693
00:36:50,115 --> 00:36:51,157
You avoided it.
694
00:36:51,324 --> 00:36:53,451
Well, like I said, commander,
I knew it was coming.
695
00:36:53,618 --> 00:36:56,121
And the computer's not simulating
the glare from the sun.
696
00:36:56,288 --> 00:36:59,208
I remember once in Capodichino
on final approach,
697
00:36:59,375 --> 00:37:01,335
I had to turn into the setting sun.
698
00:37:01,502 --> 00:37:04,255
I didn't see a transmission line.
Severed it with my landing gear.
699
00:37:04,422 --> 00:37:05,965
Knocked out power to half of Naples,
700
00:37:06,132 --> 00:37:08,092
damn near burned down
the NATO Officers' Club.
701
00:37:08,259 --> 00:37:10,261
You're just trying
to make me feel better.
702
00:37:14,348 --> 00:37:15,683
You knew the prevailing winds.
703
00:37:15,850 --> 00:37:18,270
Why'd they fly you
into the setting sun, anyway?
704
00:37:22,065 --> 00:37:23,609
Major?
705
00:37:23,942 --> 00:37:26,278
We didn't have a choice,
commander.
706
00:37:29,907 --> 00:37:31,909
- Tiner, where is lieu...
- Good morning, admiral.
707
00:37:32,075 --> 00:37:34,077
Your notes from the meeting
with the joint chiefs.
708
00:37:34,244 --> 00:37:36,915
And I've scheduled interviews
with the top five yeoman candidates
709
00:37:37,081 --> 00:37:38,750
for Thursday afternoon
and Friday morning.
710
00:37:38,917 --> 00:37:41,711
Cleaners put a rush on your
dress whites. They'll be ready at 1330.
711
00:37:41,878 --> 00:37:44,297
Don't lose the ticket, sir.
712
00:37:44,464 --> 00:37:46,174
Lieutenant?
713
00:37:46,758 --> 00:37:48,176
- Yes, sir?
- Whatever happened
714
00:37:48,343 --> 00:37:49,594
about the Litrell case?
715
00:37:50,553 --> 00:37:52,972
It was a dead end, sir.
I guess I was wrong.
716
00:37:53,139 --> 00:37:55,726
I'm sorry to hear that,
but taking the initiative like you did,
717
00:37:55,893 --> 00:37:58,187
- it was good to see.
- Thank you, sir.
718
00:37:58,354 --> 00:38:00,022
Maybe next time I'll get it right.
719
00:38:05,611 --> 00:38:07,154
I affected the data recovery
720
00:38:07,321 --> 00:38:09,698
with harmonic
magnetoresistive microscopy.
721
00:38:09,865 --> 00:38:10,908
Meaning?
722
00:38:11,075 --> 00:38:13,619
High-resolution sensors
mapped the magnetic fields,
723
00:38:13,786 --> 00:38:16,122
which allowed me to rebuild
the original erased signals.
724
00:38:16,289 --> 00:38:19,417
So you were able to reconstruct
the engine performance data?
725
00:38:19,584 --> 00:38:22,420
- Among other things, yes.
- And what did you find, Miss Belotti?
726
00:38:22,587 --> 00:38:24,089
There were no engine anomalies
727
00:38:24,256 --> 00:38:27,217
other than a slight rise
in exhaust gas temperatures.
728
00:38:27,384 --> 00:38:30,053
Not even a burp
or a small loss of power
729
00:38:30,220 --> 00:38:32,389
- right before impact with the water?
- No, ma'am.
730
00:38:32,556 --> 00:38:35,101
All systems were operating
within normal parameters.
731
00:38:36,894 --> 00:38:38,646
I assume you have some questions.
732
00:38:38,813 --> 00:38:40,982
I don't think any are necessary,
madam chairman.
733
00:38:41,148 --> 00:38:43,150
It would seem Major Asher
told the truth.
734
00:38:43,317 --> 00:38:47,113
He flew his aircraft into a rising swell.
The Osprey can't be blamed.
735
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,408
I think the data merely answered
a question I posed yesterday, colonel.
736
00:38:50,575 --> 00:38:53,035
The Osprey may not have been
defective in this case,
737
00:38:53,202 --> 00:38:56,039
but if Major Asher,
the best pilot in the squadron,
738
00:38:56,206 --> 00:38:59,042
can't handle this plane,
then who can?
739
00:38:59,209 --> 00:39:00,419
Thank you, Miss Belotti.
740
00:39:01,044 --> 00:39:04,006
Perhaps Major Asher can speak
to that, madam chairwoman.
741
00:39:04,172 --> 00:39:05,674
He's already had his say.
742
00:39:05,841 --> 00:39:08,844
Do I hear a motion to call the question
on continued funding?
743
00:39:09,011 --> 00:39:12,891
Well, I'd like to hear
all relevant testimony before I vote.
744
00:39:16,144 --> 00:39:19,230
Very well.
Major has a brief statement.
745
00:39:24,027 --> 00:39:28,323
- You're still under oath, major.
- I'm well aware of that, ma'am.
746
00:39:29,657 --> 00:39:33,412
I want you all to know that the aircraft
I was flying hit the water
747
00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:37,583
because I let it go too low,
and I didn't see a swell coming.
748
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:39,627
We've heard this all before,
commander.
749
00:39:39,793 --> 00:39:41,670
Major, why didn't you
see the swell coming?
750
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:45,591
Drop zone is off the nose.
751
00:39:48,093 --> 00:39:49,261
So is the sun.
752
00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:51,932
It was a sunny day. Old news.
753
00:39:52,098 --> 00:39:53,516
Major, would you ordinarily
754
00:39:53,683 --> 00:39:56,311
have scheduled a mission
to fly into the setting sun?
755
00:39:56,478 --> 00:39:58,605
No, sir.
We go out of our way to avoid it.
756
00:39:58,772 --> 00:40:01,566
- And why didn't you this time?
- We were late taking off.
757
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:03,235
And why was that?
758
00:40:03,818 --> 00:40:07,614
Because Congresswoman Latham
was two hours late getting to the base.
759
00:40:11,327 --> 00:40:12,703
So now it's my fault?
760
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:14,705
Without me,
you would have taken off earlier?
761
00:40:14,872 --> 00:40:17,375
No, ma'am. The mission
was scheduled for your orientation.
762
00:40:17,542 --> 00:40:19,627
Without you, there would be
no point in taking off.
763
00:40:19,794 --> 00:40:22,797
- Well, you could have explained.
- What would you have said then?
764
00:40:22,964 --> 00:40:25,007
That the Osprey can only fly
in the shade?
765
00:40:25,174 --> 00:40:27,176
That people play golf
in tougher conditions?
766
00:40:27,343 --> 00:40:29,095
- Well, if it's true...
- Ma'am,
767
00:40:29,263 --> 00:40:31,890
when Marines schedule a mission,
even during combat,
768
00:40:32,057 --> 00:40:34,351
they get to decide
what time they go in.
769
00:40:34,518 --> 00:40:37,312
Because the enemy doesn't demand
a dog-and-pony show
770
00:40:37,479 --> 00:40:39,648
to suit the convenience of politicians
and the media.
771
00:40:39,815 --> 00:40:43,068
Commander, I thought your client
accepted responsibility for this mishap.
772
00:40:43,235 --> 00:40:44,695
There's plenty to go around, ma'am.
773
00:40:44,862 --> 00:40:46,864
Major Asher
was in a challenging situation
774
00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:50,535
hovering 10 feet above the water
looking directly into the sun
775
00:40:50,702 --> 00:40:53,746
trying to accomplish his mission and
get out of there as fast as he could.
776
00:40:53,913 --> 00:40:55,415
But he was delayed,
777
00:40:56,708 --> 00:40:57,750
by me.
778
00:41:01,754 --> 00:41:05,633
I was excited to be there.
779
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,930
What do you think now,
congresswoman?
780
00:41:10,097 --> 00:41:13,183
I think little boys
never outgrow their toys.
781
00:41:13,350 --> 00:41:17,062
Drop zone clear. Jumpers away.
782
00:41:19,398 --> 00:41:21,942
Sergeant, how about a shot
with me and the boys?
783
00:41:22,109 --> 00:41:24,778
Hold. Sir, you shouldn't be
out of your harness.
784
00:41:24,945 --> 00:41:27,199
- Oh, come on, sarge, just one.
- Trying to get a photo
785
00:41:27,365 --> 00:41:29,326
for your campaign brochure,
Harold?
786
00:41:29,492 --> 00:41:32,037
- Sir, sit down.
- What's the harm?
787
00:41:33,163 --> 00:41:35,457
Two to go, major. Go.
788
00:41:38,293 --> 00:41:42,130
I will not shirk my responsibility
in the mishap, major.
789
00:41:42,297 --> 00:41:45,383
- If I hadn't delayed you...
- So now he's responsible?
790
00:41:45,550 --> 00:41:47,678
Commander, is there anyone else
you'd like to blame?
791
00:41:47,845 --> 00:41:49,430
Yes, ma'am. The critics.
792
00:41:49,597 --> 00:41:51,891
For demanding that military hardware,
even the newest,
793
00:41:52,058 --> 00:41:54,894
perform flawlessly
with zero tolerance for error.
794
00:41:55,394 --> 00:41:57,855
The media for its sensationalism,
795
00:41:58,022 --> 00:42:00,650
exaggerating every mishap
to the dimension of tragedy.
796
00:42:00,816 --> 00:42:04,904
And Congress, ma'am, for not listening
to those who know this aircraft best:
797
00:42:05,072 --> 00:42:06,490
The people who fly it.
798
00:42:06,657 --> 00:42:09,701
You wanna kill the Osprey programme
to save their lives.
799
00:42:09,868 --> 00:42:12,329
They're telling you
that they're willing to risk their lives
800
00:42:12,496 --> 00:42:15,123
because they believe
that this aircraft is important
801
00:42:15,290 --> 00:42:17,501
to the defence of our country.
802
00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:23,006
I believe Congresswoman Latham
wanted to call the question.
803
00:42:23,173 --> 00:42:25,760
Is that still the case?
804
00:42:26,010 --> 00:42:28,721
Unless our chair
wishes to hear more testimony?
805
00:42:28,888 --> 00:42:30,515
That won't be necessary.
806
00:42:30,682 --> 00:42:34,644
Those in favour of continued funding
for the MV-22,
807
00:42:35,144 --> 00:42:37,814
please signify
with a showing of hands.
808
00:42:43,654 --> 00:42:45,990
Looks like the Osprey
lives for another day.
809
00:42:48,242 --> 00:42:51,662
Major, I want to wish you luck
and Godspeed.
810
00:42:51,829 --> 00:42:56,834
And if you ever invite me
for another ride, I'll be on time.
811
00:42:57,334 --> 00:43:01,463
Yes, ma'am. And if you give it
the opportunity, so will the Osprey.
812
00:43:01,630 --> 00:43:03,258
This hearing is adjourned.
