1:40:01
l made some calls.
1:40:05
On Friday, that Captain Hanks. . .
1:40:07
. . .is convening a medical review board
and he's gonna retire you.
1:40:12
-He said l had 4 weeks.
-He lied, Cookie.
1:40:15
He don't care how many one-legged
pushups you can do.
1:40:19
He'd trade you and me
and every other sea dog. . .
1:40:22
. . .for one glass-eyed
electronics technician.
1:40:24
The man's gonna retire your ass.
1:40:26
My leg's back. l ain't done yet.
1:40:28
You got a stump on a stick
and no chance of beating Hanks, son.
1:40:37
-All l wanted was to be master diver.
-All l wanted was to stay one.
1:40:43
You want to beat Hanks,
you got to go around him. . .
1:40:46
. . .right to the top.
1:40:49
Washington.
1:40:51
-Chief of naval personnel.
-That's right.
1:40:55
They don't like cocky pencil pushers
like Hanks any more than we do.
1:41:01
l might be able to pull a few strings.
1:41:10
Why are you doing this, Sunday?
1:41:15
Piss people off.
1:41:17
Chief Decker, you are
the chief master at arms. . .
1:41:20
. . .of this hospital?
1:41:22
Yes, sir.
1:41:25
Then why is it you don't know
where Chief Brashear is?
1:41:29
He shouldn't be too hard to spot.
1:41:31
He's the only negro diver
in the Navy. . .
1:41:35
. . .and he's got one leg.
1:41:37
lt seems that the chief
has transferred, sir.
1:41:43
-On whose orders?
-He signed his own, sir.
1:41:47
Call the shore patrol.
1:41:48
Relax, cap. We just want to talk.
1:41:52
Wait, wait, wait.
1:41:53
You know where Chief Brashear is.
Where?
1:41:58
l see. Fine.
