not the center of the universe? Is that it?

- Don't crack wise with me.

- Come on, lighten up, Charles.

I mean, okay, I don't play the game by

your rules, but I always get you the story.

few stories that you're indispensable.

Well, I had a little chat

Kill the motherfuckin' traitor.

That's an order!

GR44, respond!

Colonel Perry, how many of the

UniSols were injured in the rescue?

- Who are these guys, anyway?

- I will address your questions accordingly.

As you all know, this marks the third

successful mission for the universal soldiers,

again without any casualties

and without any injuries.

As to the identity of the UniSols,

- that still remains

classified. - But, Colonel-

These men have families, and I will not

do anything to jeopardize their lives.

- Now if you'll excuse me. I have other

matters to attend to. - But, Colonel-

- Thank you.

- Lieutenant. could I have a statement, please?

There will be a complete

briefing this evening.

We can't shoot these guys. What the

hell are we doin' here? We need pictures.

Lieutenant, please, just,

just one statement. please.

Lieutenant!

Huey, I've got an idea.

- No, you don't.

- Yeah, I do.

I hate when you do this.

Ronnie, what are ya

doing? This is too close!

They're gonna see us.

We shouldn't be here.

All these guards. They

must still be in there, huh?

Yeah.

- You getting this?

- Those guys got one hell of a mobile home.

They're turning blue.

Lowering to final stage...

at 60 sub-zero.
