Word Of Honor Page #3

We disagree with that assessment.

Generally speaking...

...how would you characterize

your relationship with Tyson?

Well, there were differences,

but generally speaking...

...we respected each other.

You told Picard that

as you neared the hospital...

...you encountered sniper fire.

Well, l never told Picard that

l was certain where it came from.

Two men were hit.

Arthur Peterson, in the throat--

-And the other one?

-Larry Cane.

Shot in the heart, died instantly.

-Outside the hospital?

-Of course.

Are you aware that, according to Tyson,

Larry Cane was killed in the building?

That his body was incinerated

with the other victims?

As l've told you,

Tyson's story is a pack of lies.

-Hello, Eleanor.

-Marcy.

-You look lovely this evening.

-Thank you.

Sam, get a picture of our guest of honor

and her husband for the review.

-Tyson.

-You got plenty.

-There you go.

-Thanks.

-We need to talk.

-Phil, if you don't mind...

...l'd rather not be seen huddling

with my attorney this evening. Thanks.

You're not the world's most

cooperative client.

Maybe that's because you're not being

the world's most discreet attorney.

lf you're gonna appear on TV

and speak on my behalf...

...perhaps you should clear it

with me first.

lf you're not gonna defend yourself,

someone has to do it.

Look, l understand your reluctance

to avoid further public embarrassment.

Let me show you something. Please.

My kid downloaded this

off the lnternet this morning.

Marcy's wild sex life in the '80s...

...is gonna be all over the covers

of several tabloids.

Well, what do you want me to do, Phil,

autograph it for you?

People are asking me, when are Ben and

Marcy gonna stand up to these bastards?

A thing like this could be worth millions.

That's 40 percent to you, right?

Let's resolve this right now.

You're fired.

What is going on?

Jesus. Oh, my God.

The Cars, The Police, Foreigner,

Duran Duran, well, who didn't l bang?

Come in.

Hey. How's it going?

''Gl's personal accounts

of the Battle of Hue?''

We're studying that in history.

l mean, the Vietnam War.

You doing okay?

Fine.

Really.

You're always telling me to take

responsibility for my problems.

l'm not going to b*tch.

David, if l had done everything

that they're saying l did...

...l'd admit that to you.

l don't give a damn what you did.

Come on, David, you know that's crap.

But it happened.

Hi, guys.

So he saw it.

Where did they get that?

lt's called freedom of the press.

You're free to say ''no comment'' ...

...and they are free to print

whatever the hell they want.

l am not going to defend

myself in the press.

-You know why.

-No, l don't.

Because you won't tell me.

You at least knew about my past.

l didn't hide anything.

You're right.

l should be beyond all that.

But it's a little difficult

dealing with the fact...

...that your wife's sexual history is on the

cover of every newspaper in the country.

Damn it, l had a few boyfriends, okay?

l had a life before you,

and you knew all about it...

...long before you came into this.

So l screwed some guys. So what? Hell,

you killed more guys than l ever screwed.

l've got a feeling about Brandt.

The fact that he's-- Oh, here.

The fact that he sat on

the story all this time.

Suppose he's got an agenda here.

Some, you know,

some vendetta against Tyson.

We'll find out his motive.

Arthur Peterson was killed

outside that hospital...

...and his body was returned

stateside for a hero's burial.

Larry Cane is the son of an Army general.

His brother served in the U.S. Senate.

lf Brandt's story's true, and Cane

was killed outside the building...

...how come his body

never came home?

This came in while you were still in the air,

and Van Arken wants us to keep a lid on it.

Another one of Tyson's men

has come forward.

Vince Farley confirms that Cane

was killed inside the hospital.

He claims Tyson shot him

in cold blood.

Hell of a storm once the press gets wind

that Tyson fragged the son of a commander.

-Mustang Six, this is Cane! This is Cane!

-Mustang Six!

We're backing out! l repeat,

we are backing out! Lt. is down!

-We need a chopper now!

-Give us a marker.

Roger, guide on that!

We're gonna have to leave the dead!

-Lieutenant!

-Fall back!

Take the wounded and leave the dead!

You know the difference!

You're in early.

Good morning, Lew.

All-nighter, actually.

Peterson, get over here!

Give me a hand!

Come on in.

Hold on! Help's coming.

Ben, look....

This is awkward.

We've been colleagues a long time,

friends a lot longer.

But l have become a liability.

-How do l make this easier?

-Accept a paid leave of absence?

Until this situation is resolved.

l can't accept pay for work l don't do.

-You got a partnership to answer to.

-You let me handle the partners.

l appreciate it, Lew, but no thanks.

You'll have my resignation in an hour.

l'm sorry.

For what it's worth,

l can't say who you were then...

...but the man l know

isn't the man in the papers.

Here.

-''J.D. Runnells,'' who's that?

-Friend of the family.

Don't let the cornpone routine fool you.

He's the best legal mind

this side of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Good luck.

Pentagon sources have confirmed

that Vince Farley has come forward.

The judge is considering charges

concerning the civilian massacre.

Farley is expected--

-This is Kelly.

-John.

Yeah?

Ben Tyson.

-Been a long time.

-No kidding.

-lt's good to hear your voice, sir.

-lt's good to hear your voice too.

Lieutenant, what should we do

about all this?

Well, look, we're--

We're gonna have to deal with this thing.

Yeah, l know. l've been watching

all the stuff about us on the news.

-Gonna need to get the guys together.

-Right.

What's this?

l got a trip to D.C.

Just writing you a note.

Why?

See some people.

Some people.

For how long?

Marcy, l....

l can't continue to put

you and David through this.

When l get back, l'm gonna get

a room at the club...

...until this is over.

Ben, l'm scared.

Marc, l'm doing the best l can.

Here you go.

What's this?

Thucydides.

l'm attempting to read him

in the original Greek.

That's a piece of work.

You ever studied the classics, Mr. Tyson?

Very stimulating.

Very smart people in those days.

l guess what l should ask you right off is...

...what's a thing like this likely to cost?

Couple hundred thousand, give or take.

And that's just the appeals process.

We start fighting this recall,

the sons of b*tches will try...

...to run you through an Article 32.

What?

That Major Harper...

...the one that handed me

the recall orders...

...she said she was assigned

to do the Article 32.

You talked to her...

-...without benefit of counsel?

-Well, she explained to me that--

l don't care what she explained.

l care about what you told her...

...and exactly what the hell

happened to you at Misericorde.

l swore l'd never disclose that.

Well...

...if you expect me to keep you away
