[Kerry Washington as Adams] Atten-tion! Soldiers, I am Captain Charity Adams. Welcome to the Women's Army Corps.

[dramatic music playing] Gentlemen, my wife and I have been talking about the problems we are having with the mail and our soldiers' morale. Mr. President, this assignment has proven to be a logistical nightmare. We even tried the Women's Army Corps.

[music halts] You mean the white Women's Army Corps. Well, is there another? 

♪ Unspeakable speakable ♪ ♪ Lately, I've had a hard time / Ain't been satisfied when I testify ♪ 

Adams, you and the Six Triple Eight Battalion are headed to Europe. 

♪ The point of you ♪

[woman] Should you open it? The postal battalion?

[sighs heavily] They think the only thing we good for is to deliver some damn mail.

[man] Would you like to see the hangars?

[Adams] How many are there?

[man] All of them.

[music halts]

[wind whistling] Oh my God.

[dramatic music continues] Ladies, we have been ordered to provide hope. The soldiers have not heard from their loved ones, and their loved ones have not heard from them. When there is no mail, there is low morale.

[woman] Six Triple Eight Battalion!

[drum cadence playing] Forward march! 

♪ Mumbling to myself / Must think I'm crazy ♪

[Adams] They did not send us because they thought we could do it. We are here because they are sure we cannot. We are no strangers to making a shack a home. We are at war. And when you are at war, you make do. 

♪ Mumbling to myself / Must think I'm crazy ♪ 

♪ But I'm humbling myself / And I'm giving praise ♪ 

[Adams] Unlike some other folks here, we have the most to prove.

[airplane whirs]

[Adams] Now is where you show the proof. This is our mission.

[music halts] And we will not fail!
