outline and summary." Max, check this out. "SEAL team 6." Guess that's us now. SHAWN: "Will insert

North Korean waters from

submarine Blueback. "Entering Osan River

by rubber assault boat, "passing through

flood-control dam

at Hushan Bridge, "proceeding to

the fishing village

of Sang-Ri, "where contact will be made

with Colonel Kim Song,

South Korean intelligence." Perfect! All you need now

is a submarine, a rubber assault boat,

a North Korean guide book

and a credit card. J.J.: Anything else? MAX: Yeah, there's some

details of the assault

on the fortress. SHAWN: Hey, this must be it. There's an entrance here. There's a list of equipment. Machine guns, explosives. This is a full-scale

military operation. Explosives,

I forgot explosives! MAX: Uh, I'll pick some up

on the way home from school. ADRIAN: Come on, Max,

this is serious. J.J.: Look, all these plans

say is that the SEALs

are going in by boat. Well, so can we. The hardest part is

gonna be finding this

operative, Kim Song. If we want to make it,

we gotta go tomorrow night. The hardest part is

gonna be finding us a boat. Don't worry about the boat.

I can get you a boat. I know this guy in Seoul. Wait a minute.

Who is this guy?

Can we trust him? You got a better idea?

You wanna call the yacht club? Yeah, maybe I should. Hey, guys, come on.

You're not gonna

get anywhere like this. Okay, so we go

tomorrow night. You're not going. What? She's not going.

We can't take her. It's hard enough,

what we have to do.

We don't need a girl. J.J.: It's too dangerous.

That's bullshit! ADRIAN: Who the hell

do you think you are? It was my idea to bring

you in the first place. I'm as much a part of

this as you, either of you.

And I'm going. Tell him, Shawn. Shawn, tell him! She's going. She's not going.

I'm going. I'm glad I'm not going. WOMAN ON RADIO: A new report

issued by the National

Transportation Board indicates that

commercial air... What is it, Adrian? I'm gonna go out. (SIGHS) Don't come in

late again, all right? On a similar note, the Federal

Highway Administration...

Yeah. ...has released

a study indicating that... Mom?

Hmm? I love you. Predictions of ten times

longer delays on freeways... I mean, I really love you. I love you, too, sweets. ...are only a few of the items

covered by the report. This is WSPN,

world satellite news, coming to you directly

from Washington, DC. And now for the world

financial situation... Good evening, Mrs. Philips. Good evening, Corporal. Okay, guys, you can

come up now. SHAWN: Why, thank you,

Mrs. Philips. MAX: That's very funny,

very funny.

Why am I doing this? Adrian, your mother is

going to catch me. I know it. Soon as I pull into

the driveway, there she'll be. "Max, what are you

doing in my car?" "Max, what are you doing

in my dress?" ADRIAN: I told you,

she puts on

the news every night and stares at the TV, waiting

for the next catastrophe. MAX: I hope

you guys aren't it. We don't have

a boat, do we? He ripped us off. I'm sorry. ADRIAN: I thought you said

you had it all worked out? I knew I shouldn't

have trusted you. What do we do now? (INDISTINCT LAUGHTER) (INDISTINCT CHATTERING) Let's go home. Let's take that boat. Have you completely snapped?

That is a very dumb idea. Yeah, well, that's

the only idea we got. There are ten guys down there. And I say they're down

there getting drunk. And I say it won't work! Will you shut your face,

Rothman? You keep outta this.

SHAWN:
Hey, you lay off him. He's put himself on

the line for us, all of us. Yeah, well we still need

a boat and it's sitting right

there waiting for us. Yeah, let's do it. Take care of my mother

and my little brother. I'll give you five minutes,

in case you change your minds. Bye. Bye. (GLASS SHATTERING)

(INDISTINCT LAUGHTER) (THUD)

(WOMAN SPEAKING KOREAN) (MAN SPEAKING KOREAN) (BOTH SPEAKING KOREAN) Stay here. (MAN SPEAKING KOREAN) (WHISPERS) Shawn! (SPEAKING KOREAN) (SPEAKING KOREAN) (SPEAKING KOREAN) Oh, sh*t. (SPEAKING KOREAN) (MEN SPEAKING KOREAN) (MEN SPEAKING KOREAN) (SPEAKING KOREAN) I knew it wouldn't work.

(SIGHS) Sorry, Mrs. Phillips.

It's for a good cause.

Such a beautiful car, too. (SPEAKING KOREAN) (THUMPING)

BOBBY:
Hey! Open up! Let me out!

Come on, open up! Bobby, what do you

think you're doing here? Get out of the trunk! Where are they?

You stand right there! (RADIO ANNOUNCER IN KOREAN) What are you doing?

Shut up! (RADIO ANNOUNCER

CONTINUES IN KOREAN) (ENGINE REVVING) They're really rockin'

in Boston And Pittsburgh, PA Deep in the heart of Texas

to San Francisco Bay Fantastic!

All over St. Louis

and down in New Orleans All the cats goin' dancin' Sweet little sixteen Ahhh! (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) About a half a million Ooh!

Get in the boat! Hey, come back here! You little brat! ADRIAN: Start the boat!

J.J.:

J.J.:

BOBBY:
Wait for me! I beg you Shawn! Bobby!

ADRIAN:
Oh, no!

Whoo-hoo! MAX:
Let me off this boat.

I'm getting out right here! SHAWN: Forget it, Max.

BOBBY:
Yeah! (RADIO GURGLING) Virginia, do you

have to smoke? If there was one day that

I'd need a cigarette,

Sybil, it is today. Can you blow it in a bag

or something, please? Can you take this out

on someone else? Ahem. Good morning, Admiral.

Good morning. Good morning, Harold.

Sybil. ROTHMAN:
Virginia, Sybil, I want you to know that

I understand what

you're going through. What all of us

are going through. I just want to assure you

that we are doing

everything we can. We're watching the borders...

That's all we're doing

is watching borders? Now, Virginia, I said we

are doing everything we can.

We will find them. SYBIL: (SCOFFS) Find them? We shouldn't even be in

this situation, Harold. Why hasn't there

been a rescue

attempted before now? Why were you so bloody

frightened to go in and get our men out

in the first place? Sybil, he had every intention

of rescuing those men. It wasn't his decision not to.

Whose decision was it, Vella? Oh, please.

You knew and

you didn't tell us? You know better than this...

Please, Vella. This isn't going

to accomplish anything. You're right. I'm sorry. The only thing that

we can hope for is that we find

those children before they

cross over into the North. Is that it? It looks clear.

Let's go for it. What's the matter? We're not going in. I can't take Bobby in there. Shawn, I can

take care of myself. You shut up.

You've got nothing

to say about this. You follow me around,
