...American servicemen missing in action. Bill?

Thanks, Jane.

Preparations for a high-/eve/ meeting with the Vietnamese continue today

as a senate delegation made ready to leave for Ho Chi Minh City.

The primary purpose of the talks is to determine whether or not

American servicemen are still being held as prisoners of war in Vietnam.

In recent months, American veterans' organizations have increased demands

for information regarding some 2,500 American servicemen

who did not return home from the war in Vietnam.

The fate of these Missing In Action Americans still remains uncertain today.

Reported sightings of foreign prisoners being held in Vietnam

have resulted in greater efforts to resolve the MIA issue once and for all.

Senator Maxwell Porter, head of the US delegation to Vietnam,

expressed guarded optimism that talks would result

in shedding some light on this unresolved issue.

But we're cautioned, however, that progress

would probably be slow and painstaking.

You give off bad vibes, Shocker!

Spider-Man, we meet again! Sooner than I expected!

I love reunions!

Here's one, Iceman!

Looks like I'll have to settle with the wall-crawler

before I do anything else!

And I know just how I'm going to do it!

Leaving? Was it something I said?

Puny insect! My vibro-shock power lets me vibrate out of any trap!

- The next reunion will be your last! -

Over there!

Listen to me!

One of you for one of mine!

- -

- -

Shocker returns with even more vibro-shock power!

Spider friends...

--Q0 for it!

Let's visit a maximum-security prison!

It's the Shocker! He's making a break!

Spider-Man put me in that hole and now I'm gonna get even!

As you may recall, he masterminded an escape of Americans

from a Vietnamese prison camp and has maintained that the camp in which

he was held was not the only one in Vietnam.

Though he has never been able to offer any proof of his allegations,

Braddock has been one of the most outspoken proponents of the theory

that American prisoners are still being held in Vietnam today.

Braddock has, however, refused all recent offers

to speak to servicemen 's organizations on the subject of MIAs

and has completely withdrawn from any public discussion

of the MIA controversy.

The American delegation had hoped that Braddock's presence at the talks

would increase their ability to negotiate.

This is Braddock.

I'll go.

The Vietnamese government will never buy it.

The people in these photos could be damn near anybody.

Including American MIAs.

Now, listen, even our own experts agree that that's only a 50-50 chance.

You can imagine what their people are gonna say.

We're gonna need something a hell of a lot stronger than that

if we're gonna make an impression on 'em.

Isn't that why Colonel Braddock is along? As irrefutable evidence?

Some piece of irrefutable evidence.

Just look at the way the son of a bitch is dressed.

Who am I trying to impress, Senator?

Senator Porter, I am General Tran.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Vietnam.

It's a pleasure, General.

I'd like to introduce you to Ann Fitzgerald, State Department.

- Miss Fitzgerald, welcome. - Thank you.

Colonel James Braddock.

Ah, Colonel Braddock, I've heard much about you.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Vietnam.

Colonel!

Excuse me.

You're a goddamn embarrassment, Braddock.

That's why I'm here, Senator.

Something I've been wondering. What made you change your mind?

I mean, we must've asked you 20 times.

I've got my reasons.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

- So nice to have you with us. -

Senator Porter, we all know that Colonel Braddock was brought here

only in an attempt to embarrass my government.

That's not true, General.

But I believe that once the real reason

for his extended imprisonment is revealed,

the world will take quite a different view of him.

Miss Fitzgerald.

- Colonel Braddock... -

- General! - Can we get through here?

- Excuse me, General, sir... -

These people were eyewitnesses to some of the war crimes

committed by Colonel Braddock against the people of Vietnam.

Innocent women, children and old men were his victims.

You have their sworn statements in front of you.

What did he say?

He said he understands and it's OK.

Colonel Braddock... is it not true that during the war

there was a price on your head of 5,000 American dollars?

It was more like $20,000.

What?

Why don't you tell us why there was a price on my head?

For your war crimes, of course.

- For killing assholes like you. -

- Colonel! -

The atrocities, as documented in front of you,

were the real reasons why Colonel Braddock was held here!

He was not a prisoner of war, but a common criminal!

- -

Been

Thanks.

I see you've come up in the world.

You got out of this country once, Colonel.

You might not be so lucky this time.

Tran is up in arms about your behavior this afternoon.

Porter called Washington trying to get you recalled.

And the President is outraged... publicly.

Ah, Miss Fitzgerald, you look lovely tonight.

Uh, Colonel Braddock, there is a question I've been wanting to ask you.

Is it true that you let ten of your men die in prison

all because you alone refused to admit your war crimes?

You are the most undiplomatic man I have ever met.

I'm not running for office. Besides, you don't know anything about me.

Oh. Well, let's see.

James Thomas Braddock, 38 years old.

Colonel in the Army Special Forces. Retired.

Prisoner of war for eight months.

Missing in action for seven years, escaping last year.

And you are now in Saigon at the request of the President

to see if there are any more Braddocks in Vietnam.

Like I said, you don't know anything about me.

How about a nightcap?

Yeah, sure. See you in a few minutes, huh?

The champagne's getting warm.
