♪THE LORD GOD WILL CURSE YOU!!

WHO THE HELL IS THAT?

OUR RESIDENT LUNATIC. HE'S HARMLESS

AND HE GIVES US A LAUGH ONCE IN A WHILE.

FOR US THE END WILL BE THE SAME.

THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE OUR NECKS WOULD BE TO...

WELL, IN SIX WEEKS TIME AN AMERICAN MIA INVESTIGATION

TEAM IS TO BE ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTRY.

COURTESY OF THE VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT.

IF YOUR GROUP SHOULD BE FOUND HANGING AROUND

IT WOULD BE MOST EMBARRASING FOR THE VIETNAMESE

AND THE SOVIET UNION.

WELL WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR GUYS IF WE GET TO RUSSIA?

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW. OR WISH TO KNOW.

(VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

A HINT OF THIS SITUATION BACK IN MOSCOW AND...

- TRANG IS IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT.

YES. WE WILL TAKE THE HELICOPTER BACK TO THE COMPOUND.

(RUSSIAN DIALOGUE)

AND WE WILL ASSESS THE SITUATION THERE.

SO ANYWAY, I DON'T SEE WHY WE ARE JUST SITTING HERE.

IN THE JUNGLE,IN THE DARK, IN THE GODDAMN RAIN

WATCHING, WATCHING. WHAT ARE WE WATCHING FOR?

- A PATROL, A BUNCH OF SUNDAY PICNICKERS.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU ANYTHING?

- MERDE.

- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

- SHIT!!

- YEAH WELL LOOK, YOU WANTED TO COME RIGHT?

FOR SOME REASON YOU'RE STILL HERE. ALL RIGHT?

NOW LOOK, YOU TAKE ORDERS.

CAPTAIN L'BARNES SAID EVERYONE'S SUPPOSED TO GET SOME SLEEP

AND HE'S OUR ANCHOR SEE,

AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GOING TO BE UNTIL...

- WHAT?

UNTIL OUR SHIP COMES IN.

HAAA...

SO YOU DO HAVE A SHIP...BOAT. WHY DO YOU TURN AWAY FROM ME?

DON'T YOU LIKE ME? YOU WANT ANOTHER GIRL MISTER?

YOU WANT A YOUNGER GIRL? PERHAPS YOU WANT LITTLE CLAUDIA?

SHE COULD BE MY DAUGHTER YOU KNOW.

IS SHE?

YOU THINK I WOULD SELL MY OWN DAUGHTER?

YEAH, WELL YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING.

DONE...WHAT?

WELL I DON'T KNOW, COULD HAVE GONE TO THE LAW.

OH VERY GOOD, SHE WAS VERY POPULAR WITH THE LAW.

YOU COULD HAVE GONE TO A PRIEST.

- A PRIEST?

YEAH.

I COULD HAVE GONE TO MY FATHER

HE WAS A PRIEST,

A STERN MAN OF GOD. TORN BETWEEN HIS FAITH AND HIS ERECTION.

YOU COULD HAVE GONE TO YOUR MOTHER.

MY MOTHER WAS A PATIENT AND LOYAL VIETNAMESE WOMAN,

SHE WORKED HER FINGERS TO THE BONE.

JUST WANTING A ...JUST A KIND WORD FROM HIM.

YOU KNOW WHAT WORD SHE GOT?

- UM UH?

PRAY.

SO THE MOMENT I WAS OLD ENOUGH I RAN AWAY.

I WENT TO SAIGON. MERDE. I BECAME A BAR GIRL.

HUSTLING FOR DRINKS. AND THE MEN THEY CAME LIKE FLIES.

HORNY G.I.'S

LIKE YOU COO COO. AND THEY HAD MONEY.

BUT ONE DOES HAVE ONE'S DREAMS.

I ALWAYS TELL MYSELF, ONE DAY I WILL HAVE MONEY.

AND I WILL GO TO FRANCE,

AND I WILL FIND A VERY RICH MARQUIS

AND I WILL BECOME HIS MISTRESS AND LIVE IN THE COUNTRY

AND I WILL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WHITE HORSE.

I ALWAYS WANTED A WHITE HORSE.

AND I WILL RIDE AND RIDE ACROSS THE FIELDS

DO YOU THINK THAT MY DREAM COULD COME TRUE IN AMERICA?

YEAH.

OR MAYBE I DON'T HAVE SO MUCH LUCK

I MEAN LOOK AT ME.

IN THE NIGHT, IN THE GODDAMN JUNGLE, IN THE RAIN

WITH HALF STARVED PRISONERS

AND A CRAZY SERGEANT WHO...

WHO HAS TO LOOK AT MY WATCH TO FIND THE TIME.

YOUR TIME WITH THE SHRINK IS OVER.

FIRST TIME ANYONE USED ME AS A SHRINK. GO GET SOME SLEEP.

- THE ONLY THING SHRINKED ABOUT YOU IS YOUR PETER.

(MOANING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

NO, IT'S TIME FOR YOUR WATCH GIVE OR TAKE A FEW MINUTES.

I'LL TAKE THEM IF YOU DON'T MIND.

- YEAH WELL I SURE HOPE THE LORD DOESN'T HOLD IT AGAINST US.

I HOPE NOT, AFTER ALL HUMAN NATURE WAS HIS IDEA.

AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE FROM BOSTON.

OK MY DEAR, WE STILL HAVE TWO OR THREE GLORIOUS MOMENTS.

- HOW MANY MEN?

- FIFTEEN MEN SIR, PLUS THE COLONEL.

- TO BRING BACK FIVE MANGY WEAPONLESS PRISONERS?

YOU, YOU WILL NOT DISCUSS THIS SITUATION WITH ANYONE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

A SHRUG IS NOT AN ANSWER SERGEANT.

REMEMBER LOOSE TALK CAN BE BAD FOR THE HEALTH.

ESPECIALLY YOURS.

YES SIR.

COME ON YOU GUYS.

THIS IS ALL WE HAVE BEEN GETTING FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

♪(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

MAYBE IF YOU TRY THE RIGHT CHANNEL.

(VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

THIS IS COLONEL GEVANOVA TALK SENSE.

WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH HEADQUARTERS?

THERE HAS BEEN A TECHNICAL PROBLEM.

BEAT, BEAT? OH GOD WHAT KIND OF TALK IS THAT?

YOU GOTTA KEEP GOING!!

I'M SURE WE GOTTA,

BUT NONE OF US ARE IN THE RIGHT SHAPE RIGHT NOW!!

I'M MOVING, AIN'T I?

WE DON'T ALL HAVE YOUR APOSTOLIC ZEAL CASE.

YOU'RE PLAYING MOSES TO A BONE WEARY TRIBE

AND I DON'T SEE ANY SEAS PARTING.

WE GOTTA KEEP MOVING CAPTAIN, WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

(HELICOPTER MOTOR)

THAT WHIRLY BIRD AIN'T LOOKING FOR NOTHING

IT'S FLYING TOO HIGH. IT'S HEADING SOME PLACE.

YEAH IT'S HEADING SOME PLACE. SOME PLACE.

SO WE'RE NEARLY THERE. YOU MIGHT AS WELL TELL US THE REST OF IT.

ARE WE GOING TO TURN AROUND AND HEAD FOR THE OCEAN NOW?

ALL RIGHT...SO...SO IF... (MUMBLES)

OH GOD I HOPE...

SIR, SO FAR UNSUCCESSFUL.

KEEP ON TRYING. WE MUST MEET TO DISCUSS PLAN.

CAPTAIN!!

OH GOD!! OH GLORY HALLELUJAH!!

- IT'S A FRIGGIN AIRPLANE.

YEAH BY THE LOOKS OF HER TAIL SHE'S A TWIN OTTER...OR WAS.

YEAH I WAS IN THIS BIRD

A HITCH HIKER. I WAS GOING HOME TO MY UNIT

WE HIT A TROPICAL STORM, HAD CROSS VALVE PROBLEMS

HEADED FOR ONE OF OUR EMERGENCY STRIPS ON THE COAST NEAR HERE.

COULDN'T QUITE MAKE IT. TRIED FOR A FORCED LANDING

ON THIS CLEARING. ANYWAY THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.

SO ONE THING I HAD TO DO

WAS KEEP MY MOUTH ZIPPED ABOUT THIS BIRD. THAT'S WHAT I DID.

- WELL...LET'S UNWRAP THIS AIRPLANE

JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT,COME ON.

I UNDERSTAND COLONEL, WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS...

- WE MUST BRING THEM BACK DEAD OR ALIVE.

OUR ONLY CHANCE IT TO PROVE TO BOTH OUR GOVERNMENTS

THAT THESE MEN DID NOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

THE GIRLS WE CAN JUST TERMINATE.

NOW WE HAVE A STRATEGY

WE WILL SPLIT YOUR GROUP

INTO THREE UNITS. EACH CARRYING A FIELD RADIO.

- AND I WILL PERSONALLY INSTRUCT YOUR MEN HOW TO OPERATE THEM.

WHAT IF THEY ARE HEADED FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND NOT THE SEA?

NHA NGAI IS NOT

ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST.

- WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? TO ESCAPE INTO CAMBODIA?

- AHHH

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO US IF YOU FAIL?

AH TOO WELL

DID YOU BRINK ANY VODKA?

THERE'S NO WAY YOU COULD SET HER DOWN HERE SAFELY

EVEN IN CLEAR WEATHER.

- THEY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE.

MAN THAT BIG TARP OVER THE PLANE MAY HAVE DONE MORE GOOD

THEN JUST CAMOUFLAGING. COULD HAVE SLOWED DOWN THE ROTTING.

AFTER ALL THIS TIME I DON'T KNOW...KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED.

- TRUST IN THE LORD MAN.

- RIGHT ON.

- YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY? THE VETS NEVER REALIZED

EACH TIME I MADE A BREAK, I ALWAYS HAD A PILOT WITH ME.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ALWAYS PLAYING UP TO ME.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE YOU WERE AFTER MY BODY.

JESUS CHRIST.

WHAT IN THE DEVIL IS THIS? WHY THE EXTRA FUEL LOAD?

OH THEY WERE GOING TO PICK UP SOME CIA BIG SHOT AT LE ANG HUN

AND TAKE HIM STRAIGHT TO THE PHILIPPINES.

HO HO HO...ONLY THE CIA WOULD HAVE THE GRIT

AND DETERMINATION TO LIBERATE A CASE OF 1957 POUILLY FUISSES.

- SECOND TASK IS WE UNLOAD THIS CARGO, SEE WHAT WE GOT

AT THE SAME TIME LIGHTEN THE LOAD.

UH!!

OK...BONDANO GET THE GIRLS TO WORK UNLOADING THE CARGO.

- HEY WHAT ARE WE, SLAVE LABOR?

- YOU ARE IF YOU WANT TO GO TO AMERICA.

- OK LET'S DO IT, LET'S START THIS LITTLE BONDAGE TRIP.

OK ONE, TWO, THREE...WOOO

- (VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

HEY NO FREEBIES.

DON'T WORRY, I GOT TEN YEARS BACK PAY COMING.

WELL YOU GOT US HERE CASE BUT I'M SURE YOU REALIZE BY NOW

IT'S TO NO AVAIL SINCE THIS BIRD OF YOURS

TURNED OUT TO BE A TURKEY.

- I DON'T UNDERSTAND SIR.

- YOU DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO FLY DO YOU?

- WHY NOT?

- WELL FOR CHRIST'S SAKE LOOK AT IT.

EVEN IF BY SOME MIRACLE SHE COULD BE MADE AIRWORTHY

HOW THE HELL WOULD WE GET HER AIRBORNE?

- YOU'RE A PILOT SIR.

- OH CASE, EVEN UNDER IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES YOU NEED

THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED METERS OF LEVEL GROUND

TO GET AN OTTER AIRBORNE.

YOUR PLANS INCLUDE CLEARING AND LEVELING 10 ACRES OF FOREST?

- WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT SIR,

THE OLD LANDING FIELD IS STILL THERE.

THEY'VE TURNED IT INTO A FARM COMMUNE CENTER

BUT I CHECKED THE STRIP OUT THE LAST TIME I BROKE OUT

AND I'M SURE IT'S STILL USABLE.

- WHAT LANDING STRIP, WHERE?

- WELL IT CAN'T BE MORE THAN FOUR OR FIVE CLICKS FROM HERE

IT'S DOWN HILL, JUST PATCH THE OLD BIRD UP,

AND SCHLEP HER ON DOWN THE MOUNTAIN.

SCHLEP? SCHLEP A FIVE TON AIRPLANE WITH A 66 FOOT

WING SPAN THROUGH A RAIN FOREST AND ACROSS GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH

OPEN TERRAIN TO A GOVERNMENT FARM?

- THE LORD WILL PROVIDE SIR.

- YOU MAY BE RIGHT CASE, BUT BY ANY REASONABLE STANDARD

OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR, YOU SHOULD BE DEAD AT MY HANDS RIGHT NOW.

- WELL WE CAN SCREW REASONABLE SIR...

HOPE, THAT'S ALL WE GOT LEFT.

- SHIT!!

A MARE'S NEST, A FIGGIN' NIGHTMARE'S NEST

WHAT THIS WHOLE OPPERATION REALLY NEEDS IS...

WELL FOR ONE THING I NEED A CO- PILOT.

- YOU CAN TEACH LUKE SIR.

- DAMN IT CASE IN ORDER TO LEARN HOW TO FLY YOU'VE GOT TO FLY.

- BUT WHEN WE TAKE OFF HE WILL BE FLYING.

- JESUS!!

I'M SORRY CASE, I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

IT'S OK, THE LORD FORGIVES YOU. IT DON'T MATTER,

JUST DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF IT. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU GUYS?

AIN'T YOU EVER SEEN A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION?

CASE YOU GOTTA THINK ABOUT THE WORK INVOLVED HERE

THE SHAPE WE'RE ALL IN.

- THAT'S WHY I LET THOSE WOMEN JOIN THIS PARTY.

FOR THE EXTRA HANDS, MORAL UPLIFT.

- AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM HUH?

OR IS IT ONLY FOOLS THAT ARE SAVED?

JESUS CASE, DO YOU REALIZE THAT IT'S BEEN OVER TEN YEARS SINCE

I'VE FLOWN AN AIRPLANE?

- DID YOU SAY TEN?

- YEAH TEN. WELL YOU AND I WERE CAPTURED AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME.

TEN YEARS AND HOW MANY MONTHS?

CASE? HELLO...

LOOK IT STANDS TO REASON THEY'RE OUT THERE BEATING THE BUSHES

RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S AN AWFUL BIG CRATE

TO DRAG AROUND THE HILLS WITH CHARLIE ON OUR TAIL.

- CASE ASSURES ME THE LORD WILL PROVIDE.

- THERE YOU GO.

- ANYWAY WE GOT A WHOLE LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE IN THE MEANTIME.

- YEAH I BEEN THINKING, I GOT AN IDEA ABOUT FIXING THAT WING

AND THAT BENT WHEEL STRUT.

- YEAH.

- AND WE GOTTA CLEAR THE ENGINES, AND FILTER THE FUEL

BUT I'M DAMNED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT BUSTED PROP BLADE.

YOU EVER HEAR OF WHITTLING'?

WHITTLING??

HEY BONDANO, KEEP THE LADIES WORKING.

OK GIRLS GET THOSE...

- COME ON BOY, WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SOME SKIDS

UNDER THIS OLD FOUL SO CAN MOVE HER DOWN THE HILL.

WE ARE TEN KILOMETERS NORTH EAST OF NHA NGAI.

WE ARE HARD PRESSED FOR TIME AND YOUR UNIT IS LAGGING COLONEL.

(OVER RADIO) MUST FIND THEM SOON.

(OVER RADIO) OR YOU KNOW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE.

- I AM IN THE STINKING JUNGLE, YOU ARE IN THE SKY.

AND THE JUNGLE IS NOT LIKE FLYING IN AN AIRPLANE.

AGREED COLONEL, BUT YOU MUST SUSTAIN A SIMILAR

RATE OF PROGRESS TO YOUR OTHER UNITS

IF OUR STRATEGY IS TO SUCCEED.

YES YES SO DON'T WASTE MY TIME WITH WORDS.

DON'T CALL ME, I WILL CALL YOU.

I'LL BE DAMNED, THE BIRD SURE IS WELL STOCKED.

(VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

SO HOW ARE WE DOING?

EASY...

TO GIVE US COVER FROM THE AIR BUT NOT TOO MUCH TO KEEP US

FROM GETTING OUT. A LITTLE CHOPPING HERE AND THERE.

YOU SURE ABOUT THIS POPS?

WE CAN CHANCE THIS PART OF THE TRIP IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

NOT TOO MANY STEEP SLOPES EITHER.

YOU SEE THIS IS WHERE THE HARD PART STARTS.

WE'RE OUT IN THE OPEN. WE CAN'T JUST LET IT ROLL DOWN THE HILL.

- NO...SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET AROUND THAT?

- WELL FIRST OFF PRAY FOR SOME RAIN. SOME REAL LOW CLOUDS.

SET UP A BLOCK AND TACKLE SYSTEM AND UH...

SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD LAST TIME I WAS THERE.

- YEAH SURE.

-OH BOY...ENOUGH ROOM FOR A RUNWAY?

- WELL I WOULDN'T WANT TO BET MY LIFE ON IT THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE.

TWELVE TWO REPORTS, NO TRACES OF THE AMERICANS IN THE WEST SECTOR

THEN YOU MUST START LOOKING TO THE EAST COLONEL TRANG.

ANY SOLDIERS POSTED THERE?

- OH NO, WELL NOT THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE.

BUT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF HOME GUARDS AND THEY WATCHED

THE STORE HOUSE. THEY WORK IN SHIFTS. COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE

THEN 4 OR 5 PEOPLE SPEND THE NIGHT THERE.

- YEAH SINCE THE LAST TIME.

DON'T LOOK REAL GOOD. WELL WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

- COOL DOWN CASE. WE GOT PLENTY OF DYNAMITE RIGHT?

- OH YEAH.

- WELL ALL WE GOT TO DO IS GIVE OURSELVES ENOUGH TIME TO BLOW

(TRIBAL DIALOGUE)

I KNOW THEY HAVE NOT CALLED IN.

I MYSELF HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH THEM FOR THREE HOURS.

PERHAPS THEIR TRANSMITTER IS OUT OF ORDER?

- THAN IS THE SAME AS IF THEY WERE MISSING

- WE WILL HAVE TO SEND PATROL THREE TO LOOK FOR THEM.

- BUT THIS WILL LEAVE THE NORTH SECTION OPEN

SURELY YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOULD BE MOST RISKY.

- YES I DO COMRADE COLONEL BUT PERHAPS YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS

WOULD GO OUT AND LOOK FOR THE PATROL TOO YOURSELVES.

- YOU ARE BEING MOST INSOLENT.

- NOT AT ALL COMRADE IT IS MY PLEASURE.

SERGEANT.

YEAH.

PLEASE TELL HIM WE'RE MINOR WARRIORS

NOT WORTHY OF SUCH AN HONOR.

VERY WELL PUT.

(VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

YOU HAVE PROVED YOURSELVES TO BE TRUE BROTHERS

THEY ARE ALSO FUGITIVES FROM THE ARMY AND TRAVELING MANY WEEKS.

TO RETURN TO THEIR SETTLEMENT IN THE MOUNTAINS NORTH OF HERE.

BUT SINCE YOU HAVE HELPED THEM THEY WOULD BE HONORED

TO STAY FOR A WHILE AND HELP YOU ESCAPE.

IF YOU NEED THEIR HELP.

WE'D NEVER BE SO RUDE TO REFUSE THE HELP OF FRIENDS.

THANK YOU SIR.

(VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

- CASE...

THE BOY HAS JUST TOLD ME HE KNOWS WHERE THERE IS ANOTHER

BIRD SIMILAR TO OURS HE SAYS, BUT MORE WRECKED.

(VIETNAMESE DIALOGUE)

ABOUT A DAY'S JOURNEY.

AND WE'LL LOSE TIME IF YOU TWO GO. POPS AND I COULD GO

AND WE'LL BE BACK BY THE TIME YOU'VE FINISHED UP HERE.

EITHER WAY I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE IDEA.

THE ONLY WAY WE COULD CUSHION IT IS BY TAKING ANOTHER RISK.

WHAT?

ONE OF US COULD GO OFF WITH A COUPLE OF MOUNTAIN GUARDS

IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND DRAW THE ATTENTION

AWAY FROM THE REST OF US.

NOT SURE, I HOPE THIS LITTLE PLAN OF CASE'S WORKS.

- MOUNTAIN GUARDS WILL BE ABLE TO TELL US

WHEN WE ARE NEAR TO THE SOLDIERS.

- I DON'T UNDERSTAND, THEY SEEM TO BE HEADED TOWARDS THIS CAMP

RATHER THEN AWAY FROM IT.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH SOME SAVAGES?

VLADEVSKI, YOU ARE STARTING TO FOAM AT THE MOUTH.

THEY ARE ARMED, THEY ATTACKED ONE OF OUR PATROLS

THE POSSIBILITY IS REAL.

IF IT BECOMES ANY MORE REAL COMRADE WE WILL CERTAINLY

INFORM HEADQUARTERS SHORTLY BEFORE LANDING...

SOMEWHERE IN TAHITI.

WELL CAP, SHE'S AS READY AS SHE'LL EVER BE.

LETS GIVE HER A GO...

NO...NO, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO START THE ENGINE HER CAPTAIN.

...JUST BEFORE WE TAKE OFF.

RISK LIFE AND LIMB MOVING THIS AIRPLANE ALL THE WAY DOWN

TO SOME COMMUNE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IF SHE'LL FLY?

WE'VE GIVEN THIS OPPERATION OUR BEST SHOT.

TEST THOSE ENGINES, THEY'RE DUDS,

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST WE DO NEXT?

OUR SEARCH OF THE NORTH SECTION IS NEGATIVE COLONEL TRANG.

- IF YOU CANNOT FIND THEM AT LEAST SPEND

MORE TIME LOOKING SOUTH. IF ONLY TO DISCOURAGE THEM

FROM GOING IN THAT DIRECTION.

IF THEY STAY ON THE COURSE THEY ARE TAKING

THEY RUN INTO PATROL NUMBER THREE.

THAT IS IF I DON'T INTERCEPT THEM FIRST.

I WISH I WAS AS SURE OF WHERE THEY ARE AS YOU COLONEL.

IT REMAINS POSSIBLE THAT YOU ARE CHASING A BUNCH OF ABORIGINES

WHILE YOUR PRISONERS ARE TAKING A STROLL TO THE COAST.

MILITARY ENDEAVOR WAS TERMINATED IS TO SAY THE LEAST

BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF ALL REASON AND CREDIBILITY.
