All right!
:24:03
Look out, Lance!
:24:07
Sayonara!
:24:22
At first,
:24:23
I thought they handed me
the wrong dossier.

:24:26
I couldn't believe
they wanted this man dead.

:24:30

West Point,

Korea, Airborne,

:24:35
about a thousand

on the tape,

:24:45
and it really

:25:44
Airborne.
:25:48
He was 38 years old.
