Word Of Honor Page #3

Now, for a special report,

we go live to Dallas.

Please, move aside!

Let her through!

Mr. Tyson, sir!

Do you acknowledge your role

in the massacre?

-You people are on private property.

-Mr. Tyson!

l've been trying to reach you all day.

l forgot my cell phone.

There was an incident at that hospital.

lt didn't happen exactly

the way it's being reported.

-Where's David? David?

-lt's okay.

l reached him at school.

He's spending the night at Parker's.

This magazine says

that you and your men...

...killed innocent people...

...burned down a hospital.

-ls that true?

-lt's not true.

lt's true and it's not true.

l wanna talk to you about this,

but l can't.

l gave my word.

You gave your word to whom?

-The Army?

-You're gonna have to trust me.

l can't talk about this.

lf that article triggers an investigation,

there will be different versions of the truth.

-You can be charged?

-According to Phil Sloan, it's possible.

-You--

-But not likely.

-You already talked to Phil Sloan?

-He's got a law degree.

This Seattle doctor doesn't care

about the sanctity of some oath.

You weren't there.

You were in friggin' grammar school.

Don't ask me to justify

what happened in that hellhole.

lncoming!

-Can l help you?

-Yes.

-Major Karen Harper here to see Mr. Tyson.

-Thanks.

Here he is.

Benjamin Tyson.

Major Karen Harper, representing

the judge advocate general's office.

l'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Can l borrow a few minutes

of your time?

l assure you, Mr. Tyson,

this is merely a preliminary inquiry.

There've been sensational

allegations against you.

l've read the statements that you and

your men gave to investigators in '73.

l have no reason, at this time, to believe

Dr. Brandt's story and disbelieve yours.

The man waits 30 years to come forward?

lt obviously raises certain questions.

Nevertheless, l have a duty to advise you...

...l'm here to conduct an Article 32

investigation, and in order to do so...

...charges must be contemplated.

ln this case, among those charges

are murder and accessory to murder.

Under the Uniform Code

of Military Justice...

...the maximum penalty for murder

is death by lethal injection.

You have the right to counsel,

to remain silent.

Do you understand these rights

under the uniform code?

Yes, major, l do.

The things they make a girl say.

-Would you like to have lunch?

-You, me and my attorney?

lf you want your attorney, by all means.

But, as l said, this is all very preliminary.

lf l find there are no grounds to prosecute,

as l fully hope and expect...

...l will recommend the case

against you be dropped.

Hi. l'm sorry....

Did you suffer any casualties

before you entered the hospital?
