The General's Daughter Page #3

you have my full co-operation -

- and the co-operation

of everyone on this base.

- You understand the time element?

- Time element? No, sir.

After 36 hours, the FBI will send in

a task force to investigate.

The general can keep a lid on it

through tomorrow.

Once the FBI moves in, the media

will be all over. My daughters ...

They'll turn Capt. Campbell's death

into a goddam circus.

- We'll do everything we can, sir.

- I'm sure you will.

Let me be blunt. You'll have to

decide on this one, Paul.

Are you a soldier or a policeman?

- I'm a soldier, sir.

- I'm counting on it.

- Sir, I met your daughter.

- Really? When was that?

It was just a coincidence.

She helped me change a tyre.

She could do almost anything.

Her mother was the same way.

Fix a tyre,

bake a hell of a Key Lime pie.

Speak five languages.

Extraordinary woman.

Two extraordinary women.

Goddam waste.

If there's anything else

we can do for you at this time ...

Just ...

- Just find the son of a b*tch.

- Yes, sir.

Sir ...

When I enlisted I was under-age.

They sent me straight to Vietnam.

You were my commander.

And I was so scared.

One day, when I was on watch,

you came by and you saw the fear.

You said, ''Where are you from?''

I said, ''Boston.''

You said, ''Did you know that

last night Boston won -

- against St Louis

in the sixth game of the series?''

I knew then

that I was going to get through it.

- Boston lost that series.

- Yes, but I made it home.

We'll find the son of a b*tch, sir.

Mr Brenner ...

I understand

you have special arrest powers, -

- but I'd like you to notify me

before you arrest anyone.

Why is that, sir?

We don't like our personnel arrested

by outsiders without our knowing.

There are three ways

of doing things:

The right way, the wrong way

and the army way.

See that, in doing it your way,

you don't forget about the army way.

Our job at Psy Ops is to blunt

the enemy's will to fight.

You must know

the hablts of the enemy, -

-the anxieties and fears,

to determine vulnerability.

To engage the enemy,

you must know him inside out.

You must fill him wlth fear.

And not just fear of dying.

Fear of grotesque wounds

is more terrifying.

''Grotesque wounds''.

I'll show you mine

if you show me yours.

Might I ask what you are doing

in Capt. Campbell's office?

- That depends on who you are.

- Colonel Robert Moore.

Capt. Campbell's commanding officer.

And you are ..?

Criminal lnvestigation Division.

Sunhill and Brenner.

- And you're investigating ..?

- The murder of Capt. Campbell.

And now that we know who you are,

we'll need to speak to you, Colonel.

I just have ...
