:02:02
Yeah.
:02:04
And, uh...
:02:05
the captain was a big hero...
:02:08
She died tragically in the desert,
and Major...

:02:10
- Teegarden.
- Teegarden...

:02:12
wants her to get the Medal of Honour,
so she'll get it.

:02:15
When did the M-16 ammo run out?
:02:18
What?
:02:19
M-16 ammo?
:02:20
Blackhawk crew said
they heard M-16 fire during the rescue.

:02:24
When did it run out?
:02:26
I wouldn't know anything about that, sir.
:02:28
You wouldn't?
:02:31
As... as I recall, and, uh...
:02:33
I'm not really sure,
:02:34
but the M-16 ammo
ran out first thing in the morning.

:02:37
First thing in the morning.
But you're not really sure?

:02:42
Now I'm confused.
:02:43
- You were there, weren't you?
- Affirmative, sir.

:02:46
But I was on the saw.
:02:50
Altameyer would know, sir.
:02:52
Altameyer?
:02:53
- Yes, sir. He was manning the M-16.
- Oh, I see. OK.

:02:58
OK, let's back up, then.
:02:59
Um,
:03:00
when that tank fired on your chopper,
:03:03
you said that, uh...
:03:06
"You should go for altitude
and call for support", right?

:03:10
Sir?
:03:12
You knew this wasn't Panama.
:03:13
Men were going to die,
so you wanted to get out, right?

:03:16
Wh... who told you that, sir?
Tea Party? Ilario?

:03:19
lt doesn't matter who told me that.
You tell me.

:03:28
You don't want to know
what happened out there, sir.

:03:31
Yes, I do.
:03:33
You just want me to sign off on the story...
:03:36
so you can finish your job
and the lady can get her medal.

:03:40
Are you refusing to tell me?
:03:42
Colonel, you know
what to do if you get a hang fire...

:03:45
when you pull the trigger
and the round doesn't go off?

:03:48
You wait, with your weapon pointed in
a safe direction, cos the primer burns slow.

:03:52
You open your weapon
and take the round out,

:03:55
it blows up in your face.
:03:58
Leave this round in the chamber, Colonel.
