thank you for joining us this evening. i understand your dilemma, vice president chandler. but unless you can confirm that your president is indeed a hostage, i cannot release stravanavitch. if marshall is dead, no good will come of meeting this demand. we both know he would agree. *. is not a first lady if her husband's been killed. then she's a civilian. and i can't release him for a civilian. do you see my point? mr. president. petrov. what is it? what about him? so be it. the world will sleep easier.
