Flight Of The Intruder Page #3

Synopsis: After his bombardier is killed, Jake "Cool Hand" Grafton (Brad Johnson)', a carrier-based Intruder pilot, questions the purpose of Navy bombing missions. He finds an ally for his cynicism in Virgil Cole, a bombardier on his third tour of duty, and together they ponder the notion of one unsanctioned mission "downtown", to "Sam City" in North Vietnam.

222

00:
10:15,454 -- 00:10:17,719

Just ran out of luck.

223

00:
10:17,824 -- 00:10:20,760

Take Mr. Grafton

off the flight schedule.

224

00:
10:20,828 -- 00:10:24,822

You got liberty in Subic

in a couple days.

225

00:
10:24,900 -- 00:10:26,891

You need the rest.

226

00:
10:28,371 -- 00:10:29,134

What was your target?

227

00:
10:30,874 -- 00:10:32,535

A suspected truck park.

228

00:
10:32,643 -- 00:10:33,541

You hit it?

229

00:
10:33,678 -- 00:10:34,644

Oh, yeah, we hit it.

230

00:
10:34,712 -- 00:10:35,645

Trees.

231

00:
10:35,714 -- 00:10:36,874

A bunch of trees.

232

00:
10:36,948 -- 00:10:39,109

There was nothing there again.

233

00:
10:39,184 -- 00:10:40,117

What's your problem?

234

00:
10:40,186 -- 00:10:42,781

Spit it out.

235

00:
10:45,659 -- 00:10:48,595

Well, I don't think trees

in a suspected truck park

236

00:
10:48,696 -- 00:10:49,994

is worth a man's life.

237

00:
10:51,800 -- 00:10:54,098

Targets are picked for

political consideration,

238

00:
10:54,169 -- 00:10:55,329

Mr. Grafton,

239

00:
10:55,404 -- 00:10:57,167

with the best intelligence

we have available.

240

00:
10:57,239 -- 00:10:58,764

You have any trouble with that?

241

00:
10:58,843 -- 00:11:00,435

Well, I don't think losing Morg

242

00:
11:00,511 -- 00:11:02,411

is a political

consideration, sir.

243

00:
11:05,117 -- 00:11:06,948

Look...

244

00:
11:07,018 -- 00:11:09,988

I know losing

McPherson is lousy.

245

00:
11:10,089 -- 00:11:12,023

I don't like the targets,

either.

246

00:
11:12,091 -- 00:11:13,150

I hate them.

247

00:
11:13,259 -- 00:11:16,525

But... I don't want any

blood feuds going on.

248

00:
11:16,631 -- 00:11:18,394

Half the time,

it isn't the mission

249

00:
11:18,466 -- 00:11:19,524

you're flying

that kills you,

250

00:
11:19,668 -- 00:11:21,192

it's the one before--

do you read me?

251

00:
11:23,405 -- 00:11:24,737

Yes, sir.

252

00:
11:24,808 -- 00:11:26,173

Good.

253

00:
11:26,243 -- 00:11:28,678

I want you to write

a letter to Morg's wife.

254

00:
11:28,746 -- 00:11:30,509

I'll mail it in

a couple of days

255

00:
11:30,581 -- 00:11:31,878

along with one from me.

256

00:
11:31,949 -- 00:11:34,315

Help put this thing

behind you, okay?

257

00:
11:37,189 -- 00:11:38,487

Thanks, skipper.

258

00:
11:38,558 -- 00:11:39,923

For what?

259

00:
11:40,995 -- 00:11:43,862

You die, son, and

I'll piss on your grave.

260

00:
11:57,915 -- 00:12:00,077

Down here, down here.

261

00:
12:00,585 -- 00:12:01,416

Hey, Jake. Jake!

262

00:
12:01,487 -- 00:12:02,475

What the hell?

263

00:
12:02,554 -- 00:12:04,386

You're not thinking

about jumping are you?

264

00:
12:04,456 -- 00:12:05,423

No, not yet.

265

00:
12:05,491 -- 00:12:06,254

You need any help,

Mr. Grafton?

266

00:
12:06,359 -- 00:12:07,621

We thought you might want

to talk or something.

267

00:
12:07,727 -- 00:12:08,888

Oh, I'm fine.

Thanks, Chief.

268

00:
12:08,995 -- 00:12:10,190

So Jake, how'd you guys do?

269

00:
12:10,298 -- 00:12:12,095

I mean, you know,

before it happened.

270

00:
12:12,166 -- 00:12:13,099

Trees.

271

00:
12:13,168 -- 00:12:14,099

Yeah, trees?

272

00:
12:14,168 -- 00:12:15,101

Right.

273

00:
12:15,170 -- 00:12:16,194

-Again.

-Again?

274

00:
12:16,305 -- 00:12:18,671

Hey, Jack, you were

with a Marine detachment.

275

00:
12:18,740 -- 00:12:20,208

You ever

get used to it?

276

00:
12:20,276 -- 00:12:21,436

Yeah, I got used to it.

277

00:
12:21,511 -- 00:12:23,001

I'm a doc-- that's what I do.

278

00:
12:23,079 -- 00:12:24,206

Naw, nobody gets used to it.

279

00:
12:24,281 -- 00:12:26,442

You can put your job in front

of it like the skipper,

280

00:
12:26,518 -- 00:12:28,952

or you can even joke about it,

but nobody gets used to it.

281

00:
12:29,020 -- 00:12:29,749

That's right.

282

00:
12:29,821 -- 00:12:31,119

How about the old man?

283

00:
12:31,190 -- 00:12:33,215

Has he always been

like he is now?

284

00:
12:33,326 -- 00:12:34,759

When he chews you out?

285

00:
12:34,861 -- 00:12:35,954

Mm-hmm.

286

00:
12:36,063 -- 00:12:38,862

Maybe he figures he might not

get another chance.

287

00:
12:38,933 -- 00:12:40,025

Hey, guys, come on.

288

00:
12:40,101 -- 00:12:41,932

We got a squad room meeting,

okay, Jake?

289

00:
12:42,003 -- 00:12:43,834

All right, all right, all right.

290

00:
12:43,905 -- 00:12:45,168

I got all night, too.

291

00:
12:46,775 -- 00:12:49,745

I want to introduce

our new replacement pilot.

292

00:
12:49,813 -- 00:12:51,178

Mr. Barlow, up front.

293

00:
12:51,248 -- 00:12:53,843

Let's hear about your life.

Come on.

294

00:
12:53,918 -- 00:12:55,385

Yeah! Yeah!

295

00:
12:55,453 -- 00:12:57,922

Up front, up front,

up front, up front,

296

00:
12:57,990 -- 00:12:59,219

up front, up front,

up front...

297

00:
12:59,325 -- 00:13:00,256

All right.

298

00:
13:00,325 -- 00:13:01,588

All right, all right, shut up!

299

00:
13:01,661 -- 00:13:04,062

I'm Lieutenant J.G. Jack Barlow.

300

00:
13:04,131 -- 00:13:05,792

Sit down, a**hole!

301

00:
13:05,866 -- 00:13:07,060

How old are you, son?

302

00:
13:08,169 -- 00:13:09,101

24, sir.

303

00:
13:09,170 -- 00:13:10,194

You look 12.

304

00:
13:10,338 -- 00:13:12,705

Did they teach you how to shave

at the Naval Academy?

305

00:
13:12,775 -- 00:13:13,571

I didn't think so.

306

00:
13:13,643 -- 00:13:15,167

Razor.

307

00:
13:15,244 -- 00:13:18,681

Ah, that's your new

name for now:
Razor.

308

00:
13:18,749 -- 00:13:19,773

Excellent name, skipper.

309

00:
13:19,850 -- 00:13:20,783

Yeah!

310

00:
13:20,851 -- 00:13:22,149

All right, Walter.

311

00:
13:22,220 -- 00:13:23,414

Thank you.

312

00:
13:25,391 -- 00:13:26,415

All right, at, uh...

313

00:
13:26,525 -- 00:13:28,390

tomorrow at 1000

on the flight deck

314

00:
13:28,460 -- 00:13:31,021

there will be a memorial service

for McPherson.

315

00:
13:31,097 -- 00:13:33,931

The uniform is tropical,

white, long.

316

00:
13:34,001 -- 00:13:36,026

Oh, yeah, one other thing.

317

00:
13:36,103 -- 00:13:38,538

Uh, somebody close that door

back there, will you?

318

00:
13:38,607 -- 00:13:39,904

Frank?

319

00:
13:41,810 -- 00:13:44,871

Now, this matter

of the phantom shitter.

320

00:
13:46,349 -- 00:13:48,216

Now, I know it's a phenomenon

321

00:
13:48,320 -- 00:13:50,447

that occurs on a

carrier in combat

322

00:
13:50,555 -- 00:13:52,546

that goes back

to World War I l,

323

00:
13:52,658 -- 00:13:54,785

but this has gotten

out of hand.

324

00:
13:54,860 -- 00:13:57,193

Last night, the

phantom left a note

325

00:
13:57,264 -- 00:13:58,788

saying he would strike,

326

00:
13:58,865 -- 00:14:02,631

and this morning, a turd was

found in the XO's ashtray.

327

00:
14:04,872 -- 00:14:07,899

That only means

one thing, gentlemen.

328

00:
14:07,977 -- 00:14:10,343

It is no fighter jock

or recon puke

329

00:
14:10,412 -- 00:14:12,005

who is doing this thing.
