You'll see his sweater is worn.
1:00:05
lt has been unraveled in places.
1:00:08
Those places
form dashes and dots...

1:00:10
and those dots spell out
a message in Morse code.

1:00:14
That message is, "Courage, Mom."
1:00:20
He got the message through.
1:00:23
Not bad for government work.
1:00:25
Having a good time?
1:00:27
Haven't had this much fun
since live TV.

1:00:29
To the men and women
of Unit 303...

1:00:32
to my fellow citizens,
l say, "Courage, Mom."

1:00:34
l have informed Albania
that we will not rest...

1:00:38
until the safe return
of Sergeant Schumann.

1:00:40
l'm told his unit mates gave him
the nickname "Old Shoe."

1:00:44
Wasn't there a folk song
called "Old Shoe?"

1:00:48
Do you remember that?
Something like...

1:00:52
l don't know.
l can vaguely remember it.

1:00:55
Do you know
what l'm talking about?

1:00:59
Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

1:01:01
Good night and God bless.
1:01:03
Trump that, Senator Neal,
you Howdy-Doody-looking vontz.

1:01:07
As we reported earlier, U.S.
Serviceman Willie Schumann...

1:01:10
remains missing behind
enemy lines...

1:01:12
lt's all thinking ahead.
1:01:15
That's what producing is.
1:01:16
lt's like being a plumber.
1:01:19
Do your job right,
nobody should notice.

1:01:22
When you fuck up,
everything gets full of shit.

1:01:25
...symbol of
the military team...

1:01:27
Sergeant William Schumann,
the "Old Shoe."

1:01:30
Let's line up the president
for the Peace Prize.

1:01:32
Our job ends on election day.
1:01:34
Come on.
1:01:36
Just for the symmetry
of the thing?

1:01:39
That's right.
1:01:41
lf Kissinger can win
the Peace Prize...

1:01:42
l wouldn't be surprised
if l'd won the Preakness.

1:01:46
But our guy did bring peace.
1:01:49
But there wasn't a war.
1:01:51
All the greater accomplishment.
