The Package Page #5

Currently 82nd Airborne.

Temporarily attached,

Berlin Brigade.

You didn't know him there?

This your prisoner?

No, this is the guy

the nurse says is her husband.

Picture on the wall.

Court-martial. Escaped.

Arrested East Berlin.

- In transit as of yesterday.

- Yeah.

- Anything about Vietnam?

- No. This man was not in Vietnam.

My package was in 'Nam,

I'm sure of that.

- Let me call the wife.

- You wanna use this phone?

- I gotta go.

- Nice to have met you.

- Sergeant, good luck.

- Thank you very much.

What the hell is goin' on here?

Let the provost marshal

figure it out.

She's not home.

You gotta report in.

I'm off.

I'll give you a ride.

- You got the number of his cab?

- I got it.

- We clean here?

- We're clean.

Make the call.

Where's your next assignment?

Bragg?

Yeah.

You still living

with that swab jockey?

"Swab jockey."

Yeah, the sailor.

I know what "swab jockey" means.

No, I'm no longer living

with Lieutenant Commander Wycross.

Good, because he was a real jerk.

So you're living alone?

Yeah, sometimes.

What does that mean?

It means that sometimes I live alone

and sometimes I don't live alone.

- For how long?

- A while.

What's a while?

- A big mammal that swims in the ocean.

- Oh, come on.

- So you're alone, right?

- I said so!

No, you said sometimes you live alone

and sometimes you don't live alone.

It's like you're jumping

in and out of bed on a regular basis.

I don't wanna talk about

my personal life with you.

- I was just trying to be friendly.

- No, you weren't.

Do me a favor and keep your nose

out of my P's and Q's.

That's funny!

And some kind of friend you are. You

don't ask about my health or my career.

- How's your health?

- You just wanna talk about my sex life.

How's your career?

Madison Wabash,

transfer to Ravenswood.

Please keep away from the edge

of the platform. Watch your step.

I'll call you. Okay?

You're still a pain in the ass,

Johnny Gallagher.

Really?

Sergeant.

Oh, for Christ's sake!

Johnny!

- Tom Marth.

- How you doin', buddy?

- What are you doing here?

- I'm stationed at headquarters company.

- How about yourself?

- In transit.

I'll be a son of a gun. I still owe you

for saving my ass that time in Fort Dix.

- You can buy.

- I'm gonna buy you a gallon!

John Gallagher.

I need to see the provost marshal.

Good to see you.

- Sergeant Gallagher.

- Yes, sir?

You're under house arrest.

We have an apprehension order

on you...

for questioning regarding the murder

of a woman this morning in Arlington.

Ruth, I owe you one for this.

Be with you shortly.

Why would someone want to take the place

of a guy going to prison?

He gets into the country
