to clear. I do not want

the North Koreans to get

a fix on our position. (CONTROL PANEL BEEPING) One minute. PILOT: Approaching target.

Twenty seconds. (BEEPING)

Stand by for deployment. Joshua 1, Joshua 2,

we have the football. I repeat.

We have the football. What about your men? My orders are to get you out

of here, Captain. Now go! Go! Phillips! Joshua 2, this

is the quarterback. We have a touchdown, over. (MAN SHOUTING IN KOREAN) (SHOUTING IN KOREAN)

(GRUNTS) (SHOUTING IN KOREAN) WOMAN ON TV: The continuing

drama of four

U.S. Navy servicemen charged with espionage

in North Korea has now

moved into its 30th day. Pentagon sources

confirm that the men, members of a SEAL

special forces unit, had successfully completed

their mission before

they were taken prisoner. The men are being held

in a remote prison camp

near the D.M.Z. Controversy still rages

over the incident, the communists insisting

the men were engaged

in espionage, and will be tried as spies. The trial, to be held in

the capital city of Pyongyang, could begin as

early as next week. Mounting outrage throughout

the United States has led to rumors of direct

military intervention. But the White House

and the state department continue to pursue

the release of the men

through diplomatic means. The President, referring to

the prisoners as "hostages," has called the trial

"A sham. Simply an arena

for propaganda." However, under

North Korean law, if the men are convicted,

they could be executed. MAN ON TV: And now,

for a live update on

the building tensions in the Persian Gulf,

here's our armed forces

network correspondent... Turn it off, please.

Mike is coming to us

via satell... (ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC PLAYING) ROTHMAN: Yes, sir, that's

very encouraging. Yes, I think so, too. Jerry Gates?

Yes, I've met him. Yes, sir. Good. Yes, he's a straight shooter. I'd be happy to. ROTHMAN: Good night, sir. MRS. ROTHMAN: Well?

What was that all about? ADRIAN: Thirty days?

The Israelis would have

had them out 29 days ago. Face it. They don't know

what to do. Take it easy. What are you,

some kind of expert? Take it easy?

Your father's stuck in

some prison somewhere. ADRIAN: Don't give me

power and glory. You don't have to tell me

where my father is, okay? SHAWN: Max, bud, what's up? We need to talk. Sit down. I think they're

going to try a rescue. Where'd you hear that? How do you know? I bugged my dad's study. Jesus. (SNORTS) I overheard him tell

my mother the whole thing. I hooked the microphone

up to the radio,

added a couple of things... What's going on? Sorry, Bobby, it's

a private conversation.

About what? Uh, it's private.

What's the difference? Is it about Dad?
