Behind Enemy Lines Page #3

Synopsis: Fighter navigator Chris Burnett wants out: he was looking for something more than the boring recon missions he's been flying. He finds himself flying the lone Christmas day mission over war-torn Bosnia. But when he talks pilot Stackhouse into flying slightly off-course to check out an interesting target, the two get shot down. Burnett is soon alone, trying to outrun a pursuing army, while commanding officer Reigert finds his rescue operation hamstrung by politics, forcing Burnett to run far out of his way.

Oh, that's good.

Hey, listen, Chris. Listen, I thought

you were kidding about getting out.

You telling me I gotta find another navigator?

Is that the deal?

I can't do it anymore. I'm done. I'm sorry.

(PA system) All hands. An air contact

believed to have originated in the North Pole

has been spotted

and is inbound to USS Carl Vinson.

No, no, it's good to hear your voice. No, no.

Yeah, they're taking care of us great.

They're putting up tinsel,

and it's very Christmasy.

No, Dad, don't wake her.

Just tell her I said "merry Christmas."

We're disappointed

that we won't be seeing you.

Well, you may get to see a lot of me soon.

Well, we understand. You got

important things to do over there.

Dad, I gotta go.

- We're very proud of you.

- Dad, I gotta get goin'.

- All right, I love you.

- Bye.

That son of a b*tch!

Did you see this? He put us

on the holiday mission. Goddammit.

- Well, at least we get to fly.

- Yeah, during the one good meal of the year.

- It's almost like he doesn't like us.

- No. You, not me. You.

(PA) Merry Christmas, girls and boys.

On the flight deck it's show time.

(PA) Merry Christmas, girls and boys.

On the flight deck it's show time.

Aircraft remaining for the NATO

solo photo reconnaissance mission.

He's got a brand-new car

Looks like a Jaguar

It's got leather seats

It's got a CD player...

("player" echoing)

Wouldn't it be great to look back

and there's Britney Spears?

But wait, she wants to try flyin' the plane.

Yeah, just move the stick right there. Yeah.

We'll start over again

Grow ourselves new skin

Get a house in Devon

Drink cider from a lemon

(TV) The CincinnatiAccord verifies Serbia's

commitment to a lasting peace in Yugoslavia.

I welcome the announcement

that NATO will leave the region.

Coordinates 301506.51150 confirmed.

Sectors are all concurrent.

- You sure about that?

- I'm readin' it right here, pal.

Yeah, well, uh...

the Serbs must've bought some old U-boats,

cos we're flyin' over a lake.

Goddammit.

And a warm thank you to the US intelligence

community, ladies and gentlemen.

Yet another useless joyride at the cost

of mere millions to the US taxpayer.

Hey, hang on. Scope showing activity

in section four alpha to our left.

Must be in that forested area.

That's the demilitarized zone.

There shouldn't be any activity.

Yeah, I know, I know. But the scope

doesn't lie. There it is. Let's check it out.

We're not supposed to fly that section.

The brass'll have a sh*t fit.

Hey, we're on recon,

so let's recon something.

Stack, it's probably just

some locals fooling around.

Could be a good opportunity

to test our shiny new digital camera.
