Set during "Sole Survivor" from the 70s TV show.
The ring of the phone
A shrill that is so painful
Harbinger of death.
Before, we were fine
My sons and I together.
We loved and were loved.
But then came the call.
The news of the accident
Was like a venom.
My world had shattered
And my heart was without pain
Numb with so much grief.
I told his brother
And I will never forget
The grief on his face.
We stood together
Staring numbly at the car
That became his tomb
And this is my fault.
Joe and Frank worked at my side.
Guilt weighs on my limbs.
I knew the danger
When I called on him to help
I thought that he knew.
I know I was wrong.
I shouldn't have allowed this.
And this is my fault.
My sister was right.
My work is not for children.
It's too dangerous.
I look at my son
He stares at the rental car
Grief etched on his face.
Should I put a stop
To the job that claimed my son?
I feel that I must.
Joe wouldn't want that.
Joe would want us to keep on.
I know this is true.
And I will do so.
For the sake of my dead son
Frank and I go on.
And now we must wait
It is all that we can do.
We must wait for dawn.
Now the bitterness
Begins to replace the grief
Politics be damned.
Defection had risks.
And we were the protectors
For a worthy friend.
We protect a friend
But it is a thankless job
For my son is dead.
We stand on the dock
Waiting for the friend to land
Feeling the danger.
If we were to fail
Another man would be dead
And for such a crime.
Oh, Chang saw the light.
But this was not without risk
Germans would kill him
Now we see the boat
This is the moment of truth
That decides our fate.
Chang's boat has landed
And he climbs onto the dock
I see my old friend.
It is not his fault.
I can't bring myself to tell
Of the tragedy.
The Germans now know
Of the treachery of Chang
And they are here too
And I am fighting
I protect my only son
From those who would kill.
I hit at the men.
These men who dared to hurt them.
For Frank and for Joe.
But now I see him.
I cannot believe my eyes
It is Joe who fights.
And he is alive.
He turns and I catch my breath
Tears form in my eyes.
I hold my son close.
I allow the fears to fall.
What a miracle.
And Frank is there too.
I hold on tight to them both
This moment is mine.
Joe explains to us
The Germans had abducted
To learn of the plan.
The men had tricked him
To get the information
They said I was dead.
It doesn't matter.
For my boys are safe and sound.
I thank God for this.
Frank and Joe. My boys.
I cannot let go of them.
We are safe. For now.
