You were supposed to serve
eleven warrants and expose the Ring.

:12:03
Instead you went out and you
went on the warpath... on a rampage!

:12:06
Now Richard's dead! And
we're living up here like fugitives!

:12:09
What the hell do you think
you're doing out there?

:12:12
I don't know.

:12:14
Maybe I'm trying to get some attention.

:12:17
Maybe I'm trying to get
President Hayes to look this way.

:12:20
They'll let Murphy and his bankers

:12:21
get away with anything
and I can't allow that!

:12:24
The more bastards I dust,
the more news stories they write.

:20:07
Okay, pass it back son.
You stroke a gun like that,

:20:10
you might as well
be stroking a man's woman.

:20:13
Pass it up.

:20:20
Alright.

:20:21
Now you're best behind
your way before you get hurt.

:20:25
I'm leaving right now and
wanna know what he looks

:20:28
for in case I run to him
I'll come back and tell you.

:20:29
He's a good looking kid,
a way with women,

:20:32
he dresses like a dandy
and he's a left-hander.

:20:35
And people say he's fond
of whistling sad ballads.

:20:40
Now you get out there in the street.

:20:42
If you see somebody
that fits that Bill

:20:44
- you just come whispering to me.
- Okay.

:20:48
Bye bye.

:20:54
Hey! I see him!

:20:59
Right there, right there!
Don't you see him?

:21:03
That's all now.

:21:06
You know boy, I'm getting
a little tired of your wise lip.

:21:10
Now you, you get yourself
some place else before I

:21:14
have to drop your britches
in front of all these fine ladies

:21:17
and spank you little bottom blue.

:21:29
Yeah, sure you are a
chesty little cuss.

Harpoon (missile)

The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile system, developed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security). In 2004, Boeing delivered the 7,000th Harpoon unit since the weapon's introduction in 1977.


Operational history


In 1988, Harpoon missiles were used to sink the Iranian frigate Sahand during Operation Praying Mantis. Another was fired at the Sina class missile boat Joshan, but failed to strike because the Fast Attack Craft (FAC) had already been mostly sunk by RIM-66 Standard missiles. An Iranian-owned Harpoon missile was also fired at the guided missile cruiser USS Wainwright. The missile was successfully lured away by chaff.

FASLANE, SCOTLAND

"No luck, eh?" asked Todd Simms, commander of USS Boston.

"None, " McCafferty confirmed. Even the trip into Faslane had been unlucky. The guard ship for the safe-transit corridor, HMS Osiris, had gotten into attack position without their having detected her. Had that Brit diesel sub been a Russian, McCafferty could very well be dead now. "We had our big chance against that amphibious group. Things were going perfect, y'know? The Russians had their sonobuoy lines out, and we beat them clean, just about had our targets lined up for the missile attack - I figured we'd hit with our missiles first, then go in with torpedoes -"

"Sounds good to me," Simms agreed.

"And somebody else launches his own torpedo attack. Screwed everything up. We lofted three Harpoons, but a helo saw us do it, and, bingo! we had the bastards all over us." McCafferty pulled open the door to the Officer's Club. "I need a drink!"

"Hell, yes!" Simms laughed. "Everything looks better after a few beers.

- That's right.
- What are you doing in here?

:29:54
Going back to Louisiana
for family business.

Wanted to see the boy
who'd become such a sensation.

:29:59
- How'd you find me here?
- I'm a tracker.

:30:02
Gonna be held as sheriff,
if they elect me.

:30:04
- What are you saying, Pat?
- The officials have asked me to run.

:30:07
Well, then I'm asking you to run too.

:30:10
That way!

Or I'll take your
shittin' scalp like I did Brady's.
