- Keep the light on him.

- I'm trying, sir!

Tommy!

Keep the light on him!

- It's too windy, sir!

- Hold on!

Don't let him out of your sight.

Jesus!

Help me.

Hurry!

He's got him.

He's got him!

- We got him!

- Great!

You've seen the leak

on the budget cuts?

I've read the papers.

You're late.

- I was caught in traffic.

- You should allow for that. I do.

I've redlined the relevant sections

and my synopsis is at the end.

Order breakfast. It's the most

important meal of the day.

You should take

better care of yourself.

- Menu, sir.

- Five years, 2 billion dollars.

Gulf maritime can't even

get the prototype to float.

The phantom sub is a sinkhole.

I'm not putting another dime into it.

You're right, of course.

But what about the Armed

Services Committee? Duvall?

One thing I'm looking forward

to in this next four years

is putting that fraud

Duvall in his place.

He's right back there.

I know.

Let's go.

Oh, hi.

Mr. Secretary Brice.

Good morning.

- Senator, how are you?

- Mr. Secretary.

We've just been having a little

discussion here about that piece

on the budget in the paper.

- Did you read it, sir?

- No, I haven't read the papers.

- Scott was mentioning it.

- Mr. Pritchard.

Where in heaven's name

do they get their information?

And that idea about cutting

back on the phantom sub?

It's essentially groundless.

As a matter of fact, we were just

going over our options on that.

Talking to Mr. Marshall here,

he tells me those Soviets

are doing things with submarines

that will turn your hair white.

Senator, you can rest assured I have

no intention of making a decision

on this without consulting

you first. Good day.

Good day, senator.

You believe that?

No.

The car, please.

That business with Marshall,

he was telling us that if we fight him,

he'll have the CIA on his side.

Of course. He pushed

Marshall for the directorship.

Scott, I'm sorry. Sometimes I'm

short with you, I apologize.

- That's not necessary.

- Several months ago you introduced

me to a friend of yours.

An officer. Uh...

- Commander Farrell?

- Right.

I understand he has a

background in intelligence?

He has two tours

with naval intelligence.

We could use a hero.

Get him here, will you?

- His ship's in Manila.

- Just do it, please.

No, no, no. You want...

Come here. You want a real hero.

- You know you want to do it!

- Come on.

- Try to remember you're an officer.

- You're making it hard on me.

You're making it hard on me.

They're gonna be there all day.

- You know what I'm talking about, man.

- What's that?

- You deserve the damn medal.

- I carry?

If you jump me for promotion,

I'll kill you.

I'll kill your family,
