Flight Of The Intruder Page #9

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.

887

00:
44:41,151 -- 00:44:42,310

You rodent.

888

00:
44:42,486 -- 00:44:43,680

I was built with this ship.

889

00:
44:43,754 -- 00:44:46,519

I am a weapons system,

and there was a cost overrun!

890

00:
44:46,591 -- 00:44:48,024

Dismissed!

891

00:
44:54,968 -- 00:44:55,957

Come on in.

892

00:
44:57,104 -- 00:44:58,435

Commander Cole.

893

00:
44:58,538 -- 00:45:00,166

Mr. Grafton.

894

00:
45:00,276 -- 00:45:01,333

Have you recovered yet?

895

00:
45:03,379 -- 00:45:05,210

Oh, yeah.

896

00:
45:05,314 -- 00:45:06,782

Uh, I saw the duty

roster out here,

897

00:
45:06,850 -- 00:45:08,044

and they've got us paired up.

898

00:
45:08,118 -- 00:45:09,847

Looks like you're

going to be my new BN.

899

00:
45:09,919 -- 00:45:11,581

I thought we may have

a chance to visit

900

00:
45:11,656 -- 00:45:12,748

for a minute.

901

00:
45:12,823 -- 00:45:15,190

What do you got on your mind?

902

00:
45:15,260 -- 00:45:16,694

Well, actually, sir,

903

00:
45:16,763 -- 00:45:19,857

I got the word that

this is your third tour,

904

00:
45:19,932 -- 00:45:22,400

and I was... I was curious.

905

00:
45:22,469 -- 00:45:24,801

What makes a man come back

for the third time?

906

00:
45:27,108 -- 00:45:28,905

I like to fight.

907

00:
45:29,979 -- 00:45:31,810

Have you had a lot of pilots?

908

00:
45:31,881 -- 00:45:33,508

Oh, four or five.

909

00:
45:33,582 -- 00:45:35,482

I'm kind of hard on pilots.

910

00:
45:40,925 -- 00:45:44,589

Have, uh...

911

00:
45:44,662 -- 00:45:46,393

you ever been up north?

912

00:
45:46,466 -- 00:45:47,625

Sure.

913

00:
45:47,700 -- 00:45:51,194

In the old days,

that's where the war was.

914

00:
45:51,305 -- 00:45:53,500

Boy, I bet... I bet

there was something up there

915

00:
45:53,574 -- 00:45:56,135

that really made the trip

worthwhile back then, huh?

916

00:
45:56,211 -- 00:45:59,339

I mean, I figure a guy like you

ought to know, huh?

917

00:
45:59,448 -- 00:46:02,578

There was a lot up there

worth it.

918

00:
46:02,653 -- 00:46:04,017

You know that.

919

00:
46:06,023 -- 00:46:08,389

SAMs are the scene here, man.

920

00:
46:08,459 -- 00:46:12,227

SAM sites are the most righteous

targets we got.

921

00:
46:12,365 -- 00:46:13,923

You ever fly lronhand?

922

00:
46:14,033 -- 00:46:14,965

No.

923

00:
46:15,034 -- 00:46:16,366

No, no.

924

00:
46:16,436 -- 00:46:17,869

No, not me.

925

00:
46:17,938 -- 00:46:21,033

I... I don't let them shoot

rockets at me for sport.

926

00:
46:21,109 -- 00:46:23,772

You get to kill them.

927

00:
46:23,846 -- 00:46:26,508

It's gratifying.

928

00:
46:26,582 -- 00:46:29,210

Yeah, but I bet

it's not as gratifying

929

00:
46:29,284 -- 00:46:31,185

as what was up north, huh?

930

00:
46:35,327 -- 00:46:36,919

I get your drift.

931

00:
46:39,097 -- 00:46:41,532

Don't even think about it.

932

00:
46:49,511 -- 00:46:50,944

Well, I just know

933

00:
46:51,012 -- 00:46:53,243

it's going to be a pleasure

to fly with you, Mr. Cole.

934

00:
46:58,722 -- 00:47:00,588

Hot dog.

935

00:
47:03,661 -- 00:47:05,925

Well, today's your lucky day.

936

00:
47:06,030 -- 00:47:08,591

The only A-6B qualified crew,

Jackson and Greeves,

937

00:
47:08,700 -- 00:47:11,363

were scrubbed because

they didn't have a day trap.

938

00:
47:11,438 -- 00:47:15,169

So your BN volunteered you

for SAM suppression.

939

00:
47:15,241 -- 00:47:16,368

Ever pull lronhand duty?

940

00:
47:16,444 -- 00:47:17,377

You fly the B?

941

00:
47:17,445 -- 00:47:18,413

No.

942

00:
47:18,480 -- 00:47:19,412

Wait a minute.

943

00:
47:19,481 -- 00:47:20,505

I'm not B qualified.

944

00:
47:20,582 -- 00:47:22,050

I've never even sat

in the damn thing.

945

00:
47:22,117 -- 00:47:25,281

Well, it's a good thing

Mr. Cole has.

946

00:
47:25,354 -- 00:47:27,983

Besides, you're all we got.

947

00:
47:35,835 -- 00:47:36,802

Whoa.

948

00:
47:40,207 -- 00:47:41,799

Do you know something

I don't know?

949

00:
47:41,875 -- 00:47:43,433

Maybe.

950

00:
47:43,510 -- 00:47:46,207

Maybe not.

951

00:
47:46,280 -- 00:47:48,715

Look, just relax.

952

00:
47:48,784 -- 00:47:50,251

I'll talk you through it.

953

00:
47:50,319 -- 00:47:52,344

I used to be an

instructor on the B.

954

00:
47:52,488 -- 00:47:53,820

The only difference is

955

00:
47:53,890 -- 00:47:56,689

a couple of black boxes,

and they're all mine.

956

00:
47:56,794 -- 00:48:01,232

So just... follow steering

and flow with it.

957

00:
48:01,333 -- 00:48:04,997

You see, lronhand's my thing.

958

00:
48:17,319 -- 00:48:18,411

It's simple.

959

00:
48:18,487 -- 00:48:20,250

We're the decoys.

960

00:
48:20,322 -- 00:48:23,520

We get them to turn their radar

on and shoot at us.

961

00:
48:23,627 -- 00:48:25,653

But then again,

we get to shoot back

962

00:
48:25,763 -- 00:48:27,663

and kill them

with our missiles.

963

00:
48:27,732 -- 00:48:31,329

That way, the bombers can have

a pleasant SAM-free evening

964

00:
48:31,404 -- 00:48:32,871

dropping their bombs.

965

00:
48:32,939 -- 00:48:37,000

When you shoot the shrike,

just remember not to look at it.

966

00:
48:37,076 -- 00:48:38,009

It'll blind you.

967

00:
48:38,078 -- 00:48:41,138

Otherwise, it's a simple deal.

968

00:
48:41,215 -- 00:48:45,347

When the SAM's radar goes on,

that's your target. You shoot.

969

00:
48:45,421 -- 00:48:47,754

They either have to shut off

and lose the missile

970

00:
48:47,824 -- 00:48:48,790

or eat the shrike.

971

00:
48:48,858 -- 00:48:50,554

Even if they do shut off,

972

00:
48:50,661 -- 00:48:53,995

sometimes the shrike remembers

where they're at.

973

00:
48:55,199 -- 00:48:56,599

Mean bastards, eh?

974

00:
48:58,370 -- 00:49:00,065

You know something?

975

00:
49:00,139 -- 00:49:02,870

I think that's the most I've

ever heard you say at one time.

976

00:
49:02,943 -- 00:49:04,740

Oh...

977

00:
49:04,811 -- 00:49:06,279

Look, man.

978

00:
49:06,414 -- 00:49:08,882

I hate SAMs.

979

00:
49:08,950 -- 00:49:11,579

I get all worked up

just thinking about them.

980

00:
49:13,655 -- 00:49:16,921

When I tell you to do something,

just make sure you do it.

981

00:
49:18,127 -- 00:49:20,062

Well...

982

00:
49:20,164 -- 00:49:22,633

I can tell this is going to be

a real love affair.

983

00:
49:22,700 -- 00:49:23,895

Break left.

984

00:
49:29,842 -- 00:49:31,936

All right, that's enough.

985

00:
49:32,011 -- 00:49:33,878

That's enough.

986

00:
49:38,721 -- 00:49:40,211

Just checking.

987

00:
49:42,091 -- 00:49:45,118

Devil 5-2-0, feet dry.

988

00:
49:45,228 -- 00:49:45,922

Roger, 5-2-0.

989

00:
49:45,996 -- 00:49:46,860

We copy, feet dry.

990

00:
49:46,931 -- 00:49:48,295

Good hunting, Cool Hand.

991

00:
49:48,365 -- 00:49:51,096

Let's let them know we're here.

992

00:
49:51,168 -- 00:49:52,966

Put your mask on,

it's going to be a gunfight.

993

00:
50:01,816 -- 00:50:04,080

Man, we've been made.

994

00:
50:04,152 -- 00:50:06,211

Give me 1 5 degrees, nose up.
