Admiral.
:52:43
You and l have known each other
for how long? Five years?
:52:46
Something like that.
:52:49
l've always commended your work
to your superior officers.
:52:52
l've sent you information
whenever you requested it.
:52:55
Thank you, sir. l appreciate your support.
:52:57
And this is the thanks l get?
:53:01
We have one disagreement
over how to handle a downed pilot,
:53:04
and you stab me in the back?
:53:05
You go to the media, to my contact,
and you make me look like an asshole.
:53:09
You brought him on my boat.
His press report is accurate.
:53:13
Our man is down behind enemy lines!
:53:16
Now what the fuck is the problem?!
:53:19
Do you have any idea how much damage this
incident may cause to the peace process?
:53:23
All l know, Admiral, is that the American
people want their pilot back.
:53:28
Exactly! Americans. All you care about
is your own damn pilots!
:53:34
What happens when
the fighting starts again?
:53:37
Will America recommit its forces
to stop a major war?
:53:42
No. You don't have any control
over that little detail, do you?
:53:51
You might have helped save
your man today, Reigart.
:53:54
And l emphasize might.
:53:57
But you have risked the lives
of thousands tomorrow.
