...American servicemen
missing in action. Bill?
Thanks, Jane.
Preparations for a high-/eve/ meeting
with the Vietnamese continue today
as a senate delegation made ready
to leave for Ho Chi Minh City.
The primary purpose of the talks
is to determine whether or not
American servicemen are still being
held as prisoners of war in Vietnam.
In recent months, American veterans'
organizations have increased demands
for information regarding
some 2,500 American servicemen
who did not return home
from the war in Vietnam.
The fate of these Missing In Action
Americans still remains uncertain today.
Reported sightings of foreign
prisoners being held in Vietnam
have resulted in greater efforts to
resolve the MIA issue once and for all.
Senator Maxwell Porter, head
of the US delegation to Vietnam,
expressed guarded optimism
in shedding some light
on this unresolved issue.
But we're cautioned,
however, that progress
would probably
be slow and painstaking.
You give off bad vibes, Shocker!
Spider-Man, we meet again!
Sooner than I expected!
I love reunions!
Here's one, Iceman!
Looks like I'll have to settle
with the wall-crawler
before I do anything else!
And I know just how I'm going to do it!
Leaving?
Was it something I said?
Puny insect! My vibro-shock
power lets me vibrate out of any trap!
The next reunion will be your last!
Over there!
Listen to me!
One of you for one of mine!
Shocker returns
with even more vibro-shock power!
Spider friends...
---Q0 for it!
Let's visit a maximum-security prison!
It's the Shocker! He's making a break!
Spider-Man put me in that hole
and now I'm gonna get even!
As you may recall,
he masterminded an escape of Americans
from a Vietnamese prison camp and has
maintained that the camp in which
he was held was not
the only one in Vietnam.
Though he has never been able
to offer any proof of his allegations,
Braddock has been one of the most
outspoken proponents of the theory
still being held in Vietnam today.
Braddock has, however,
refused all recent offers
to speak to servicemen 's organizations
on the subject of MIAs
and has completely withdrawn
from any public discussion
of the MIA controversy.
The American delegation had hoped
that Braddock's presence at the talks
to negotiate.
This is Braddock.
I'll go.
The Vietnamese government
will never buy it.
could be damn near anybody.
Including American MIAs.
Now, listen, even our own experts agree
that that's only a 50-50 chance.
You can imagine
what their people are gonna say.
We're gonna need something
a hell of a lot stronger than that
if we're gonna make
an impression on 'em.
Isn't that why Colonel Braddock
is along? As irrefutable evidence?
Some piece of irrefutable evidence.
Just look at the way
the son of a b*tch is dressed.
Who am I trying to impress, Senator?
Senator Porter, I am General Tran.
Welcome to the
People's Republic of Vietnam.
It's a pleasure, General.
I'd like to introduce you to
Ann Fitzgerald, State Department.
- Miss Fitzgerald, welcome.
- Thank you.
Colonel James Braddock.
Ah, Colonel Braddock,
Welcome to the
People's Republic of Vietnam.
Colonel!
Excuse me.
You're a goddamn embarrassment,
Braddock.
That's why I'm here, Senator.
Something I've been wondering.
What made you change your mind?
I mean, we must've asked you 20 times.
I've got my reasons.
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
So nice to have you with us.
Senator Porter, we all know that
Colonel Braddock was brought here
only in an attempt
to embarrass my government.
That's not true, General.
But I believe that once
the real reason
for his extended imprisonment
is revealed,
the world will take
quite a different view of him.
Miss Fitzgerald.
Colonel Braddock...
- General!
- Can we get through here?
Excuse me, General, sir...
These people were eyewitnesses
to some of the war crimes
committed by Colonel Braddock
against the people of Vietnam.
Innocent women, children
and old men were his victims.
You have their sworn statements
in front of you.
What did he say?
He said he understands and it's OK.
Colonel Braddock...
is it not true that during the war
there was a price on your head
of 5,000 American dollars?
It was more like $20,000.
What?
Why don't you tell us
why there was a price on my head?
For your war crimes, of course.
For killing a**holes like you.
Colonel!
The atrocities,
as documented in front of you,
were the real reasons
why Colonel Braddock was held here!
He was not a prisoner of war,
but a common criminal!
Been
Thanks.
I see you've come up in the world.
You got out
of this country once, Colonel.
You might not be so lucky this time.
Tran is up in arms about
your behavior this afternoon.
Porter called Washington
trying to get you recalled.
And the President is outraged...
publicly.
Ah, Miss Fitzgerald,
you look lovely tonight.
Uh, Colonel Braddock, there is a
question I've been wanting to ask you.
Is it true that you let
ten of your men die in prison
to admit your war crimes?
You are the most undiplomatic man
I have ever met.
I'm not running for office. Besides,
you don't know anything about me.
Oh. Well, let's see.
James Thomas Braddock, 38 years old.
Colonel in the Army Special Forces.
Retired.
Prisoner of war for eight months.
Missing in action for seven years,
escaping last year.
And you are now in Saigon
at the request of the President
to see if there are
any more Braddocks in Vietnam.
Like I said,
you don't know anything about me.
How about a nightcap?
Yeah, sure.
See you in a few minutes, huh?
The champagne's getting warm.
Oh, yeah.
Been quite a day.
Yeah. It should be quite a night, too.
Now, look, Braddock, just because...
- Just what do you think you're doing?
- What does it look like?
Would you mind?
I'm a little on the shy side.
I don't believe this.
Look, Braddock, I invited you up here
for a nightcap, not...
Jim!
What the hell is this?
I'm gonna take a look around Saigon.
See how it's changed since the war.
We are not supposed to leave
