LOL True enough. It's like this, at least in my mind:

"Bring them in ALIVE, understand?"
"Whole?"
"They need to be alive to stand trial."
"We promise the prisoner will be very much alive, and will be able to be made healthy enough to stand trial."
"Remember ALIVE means their BODY also has to remain alive, as well as the brain!"
"Don't worry, we promise they will be very much physically and mentally alive so they can be made healthy enough to stand trial."

LOL I can SO see that being the convo that happens as the team is ordered out on a capture mission.
