JUNE 25, 1965.

DOSSIER H-10,
HAMILTON, GUY.

BORN 1936
UNDER THE SIGN OF CAPRICORN.

OCCUPATION--JOURNALIST

WITH THE AUSTRALIAN
BROADCASTING SERVICE, DJAKARTA.

FIRST ASSIGNMENT
AS FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT.

[ANNOUNCEMENT
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

YOU'RE AN ENEMY HERE,
HAMILTON,

LIKE ALL WESTERNERS.

PRESIDENT SUKARNO
TELLS THE WEST TO GO TO HELL,

AND TODAY SUKARNO IS THE VOICE
OF THE THIRD WORLD.

WHERE YOU GET VISA?

SYDNEY.

SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THAT?

MR. HAMILTON?
MR. HAMILTON?

WELCOME TO INDONESIA.

THANKS. YOU'RE...

KUMAR
FROM DJAKARTA OFFICE.

HORTONO, DRIVER.

WHERE'S POTTER?

MR. POTTER IS GONE.
HE LEFT YOU THIS.

GONE?
WHERE'S HE GONE?

BACK TO AUSTRALIA.
PLEASE FOLLOW ME.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO
STAY HERE AND BRIEF ME.

HE SAID HE WAS SORRY.
HIS WIFE WAS SICK.

OF HIM?

NO. OF DJAKARTA, BOSS.

OUR FIRST
AIR-CONDITIONED HOTEL.

AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS
BEG TO BE KEPT COLD.

HEY, HEY.
WHO'S THIS?

CIA.

NAH. HE'S AN EMBASSY
OFFICE BOY.

LOOK AT HIM.

YOU'RE BOTH WRONG.
HE'S THE NEW A.B.S. MAN.

HOW DID OUR
DIMINUTIVE FRIEND
KNOW THAT?

GUY HAMILTON, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

BILLY KWAN. I DID A LOT
OF FILM WORK FOR POTTER.

HOW DO YOU DO?

I FELT SORRY FOR YOU,

DUMPED IN YOUR FIRST POSTING
WITHOUT CONTACTS, ADRIFT,

HOPING TO BLUFF
YOUR WAY THROUGH.

GUY HAMILTON,
WALLY O'SULLIVAN,
SYDNEY HERALD.

READ YOUR STUFF.

KEVIN CONDON,
AND PETE CURTIS,
WASHINGTON POST.

HI.

PLEASANT FLIGHT?

YEAH. IT WAS ALL RIGHT.

THIS YOUR FIRST
OVERSEAS POST?

YES, IT IS.
YEAH.

PITY ABOUT POTTER
TAKING OFF.

YEAH, WELL,
I'LL SURVIVE.

TAXI, SIR?

NO, THANKS.

YOU SHOULD TAKE A TAXI.
IT'S DANGEROUS WALKING.

TAXI! TAXI!

TAXI, SIR?

NO.

EVENING, SIR.

MOST OF US
BECOME CHILDREN AGAIN

WHEN WE ENTER
THE SLUMS OF ASIA,

AND LAST NIGHT, I WATCHED YOU
WALK BACK INTO CHILDHOOD.

WITH ALL
ITS OPPOSITE INTENSITIES--

LAUGHTER AND MISERY,

THE CRAZY AND THE GRIM,

TOY TOWN
AND A CITY OF FEAR.

HEY, ENGLISH, HUH?

ALWAYS LIKE THAT HERE?

OH, DON'T
TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

YOU'RE JUST A SYMBOL
OF THE WEST.

FEEL MORE LIKE
A SPITTOON.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

THIS IS A LITTLE MARKET
FOR THE POOR.

THE PEOPLE ASKED HIM,

SAYING, "WHAT SHALL
WE DO THEN?"

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S FROM LUKE,
CHAPTER 3, VERSE 10.

WHAT THEN
MUST WE DO?

TOLSTOY ASKED
THE SAME QUESTION.

HE WROTE A BOOK
WITH THAT TITLE.

HE GOT SO UPSET ABOUT
THE POVERTY IN MOSCOW

THAT HE WENT ONE NIGHT
INTO THE POOREST SECTION

AND JUST GAVE AWAY
ALL HIS MONEY.

YOU COULD
DO THAT NOW.

5 AMERICAN DOLLARS
WOULD BE A FORTUNE

TO ONE
OF THESE PEOPLE.

IT WOULD JUST BE
A DROP IN THE OCEAN.

AH. THAT'S
THE SAME CONCLUSION
TOLSTOY CAME TO.

I DISAGREE.

OH

WELL,
I SUPPORT THE VIEW

THAT YOU JUST
DON'T THINK ABOUT
THE MAJOR ISSUES.

YOU DO
WHATEVER YOU CAN

ABOUT THE MISERY
THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU,

ADD YOUR LIGHT
TO THE SUM OF LIGHT.

YOU THINK THAT'S NAIVE,
DON'T YOU?

YEP.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
MOST JOURNALISTS DO.

WE CAN'T AFFORD
TO GET INVOLVED.

TYPICAL
JOURNO'S ANSWER.

GOOD LUCK FOR TOMORROW.
YOU'LL NEED IT.

GO HOME.
GET SOME SLEEP.

TAKE THE ONE
BEHIND ME.

YOU'RE AMBITIOUS,
SELF-CONTAINED,

MODERATE TO CONSERVATIVE
IN POLITICS

AND DESPITE YOUR NAIVETE,

I SENSE A POTENTIAL,
SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY APPARENT,

A POSSIBILITY.

COULD YOU BE
THE UNMET FRIEND?

BOSS, TAKE OFF
YOUR SUNGLASSES

WHEN YOU GO IN.

WHY?

PALACE GUARDS SAY THEY
CAN TELL AN ASSASSIN

BY HIS EYES.

MORNING.
MISSED ANYTHING?

YEAH. 63 MINUTES
OF EXCRUCIATING BOREDOM.

I GOT A FEELING
HE'S GOING TO MAKE

A PRONOUNCEMENT
THIS MORNING.

REALLY, KEVIN?
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

OH, JUST A THOUGHT.

YEAH? WHEN A THOUGHT
CROSSES YOUR MIND,

IT'S BEEN ON THE SHORTEST
TRIP IN DJAKARTA.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

SOON AS SUKARNO'S
FINISHED BREAKFAST,
WE GO UP.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHEN?

HE TIPS THE SCRAPS
OVER THE BALCONY FOR US.

SORRY, CHAPS.
AGE BEFORE BEAUTY.

1, 2, 3.
TESTING, TESTING.

THAT WILL DO HIS IMAGE
A WORLD OF GOOD.

...A THOUSAND TIMES,
OF COURSE I'LL DO IT.

GENERAL...

NO, NO. NOT NOW.

COME ON, NOW.
GIVE ME A SHOT AT THIS.

ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE
THE U.N. OR NOT?

IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THE U.N.,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

CAN I COME
TO YOUR PLACE?

SEE YOU THEN.

IN SHORT,
DJAKARTA IS A CITY

WHERE THE QUESTIONS
OUTNUMBER THE ANSWERS,

BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN--

SUKARNO'S TIGHTROPE SHUFFLE
BETWEEN THE COMMUNIST PKI

AND THE RIGHT-WING MILITARY

IS LOOKING MORE PRECARIOUS
AS THE HOURS TICK BY.

THIS IS GUY HAMILTON
IN DJAKARTA

FOR A.B.S. NEWS.

IS THAT ALL?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU COULD HAVE WRITTEN THAT
FROM BACK HERE.

WHAT ABOUT
THE TIGHTROPE IMAGE?

EVERYONE THINKS SUKARNO
IS IN CONTROL.

GUY, THAT WASN'T NEWS.
IT WAS TRAVELOGUE.

SYDNEY OUT.

DIDN'T LIKE IT,
EH, BOSS?

DON'T KEEP
CALLING ME BOSS.

SORRY.

HAVE ONE OF THESE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
CREEPING AROUND LIKE THAT?

I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T
HEAR YOU COME IN.

POTTER GAVE ME A KEY.
DO YOU WANT IT BACK?

NO.

KEEP IT.

DID YOU GET
AN INTERVIEW TODAY?

WHAT?

DID YOU GET
AN INTERVIEW?

NO, NO. I DIDN'T.

YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
DO YOU REALIZE THAT?

IT'S EARLY DAYS YET.

ALL THE DOORS ARE SHUT
TO WESTERN JOURNALISTS.

CURTIS GOT AN INTERVIEW.

CURTIS AND WALLY
HAVE GOT REPUTATIONS.

THEY CAN'T BE IGNORED.

YOUR ONLY WAY IN
IS PERSONAL CONTACTS.

POTTER SABOTAGED YOU.

WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO,

SHOOT MYSELF?

10 YEARS
I'VE WAITED FOR THIS.

IF I MESS IT UP,

IT'S BACK TO
THE SYDNEY NEWS ROOM,

AND THAT'S
A BLOODY GRAVEYARD.

IF YOU COULD GET
ANY INTERVIEW YOU WANTED,

EXCLUDING ONE
WITH SUKARNO,

WHO WILL IT BE?

LEADER
OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY.

AIDIT.

I'LL GET YOU
TO HIM TOMORROW.

HE DOESN'T
GIVE INTERVIEWS.

HE DOES WHEN HE NEEDS TO.

HE'S MY FRIEND.
I'VE SPOKEN TO HIM ABOUT YOU.

HOW COME YOU'RE
ON SPEAKING TERMS WITH--

IF YOU WANT IT,
IT'S YOURS.

IT SHOULD MAKE QUITE
A STIR INTERNATIONALLY.

IF YOU CAN GET ME
TO AIDIT,

I'LL GIVE YOU

ALL THE FILM WORK
YOU CAN HANDLE...

EXCLUSIVE.

THAT'S GREAT, OLD MAN.

THAT'S WHAT
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED--

A REAL PARTNERSHIP.

WHY THE BREAK
TO ME?

WHY NOT POTTER?

I DIDN'T LIKE HIM.

WE'LL MAKE A GREAT TEAM,
OLD MAN--

YOU FOR THE WORDS,
ME FOR THE PICTURES.

I CAN BE YOUR EYES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MR. AIDIT.

LET'S GO, GUY.

I'LL TAKE THIS
STRAIGHT TO THE AIRPORT.

YOU'LL BE RUSHING TO
CATCH THE 2:00 FLIGHT.

I'LL MAKE IT.

IF THAT'S OUT OF FOCUS,
I'LL KILL YOU.

YOU WORRY
ABOUT THE WORDS, HAMILTON.

IDENTIFICATION--
GUY HAMILTON IN DJAKARTA.

LEAD-IN FOR STORY--
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

WITH HEAD OF THE INDONESIAN
COMMUNIST PARTY.

PIECE BEGINS
IN FIVE SECONDS.

"SUKARNO FINALLY YIELDED
TO THE DEMANDS

"OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY
IN INDONESIA'S CABINET

THAT A FIFTH FORCE
IS TO BE ESTABLISHED..."

THAT'S BULL.

IT'S WELL-WRITTEN BULL
RIGHT HERE IN MY PAPER.

MY PAPER WANTS ME
TO MATCH IT.

HERE THEY ARE NOW--
SIR GUY AND THE BLACK DWARF.

CONGRATULATIONS,
HAMILTON.

YOU SQUEEZED THE TEST MATCH
INTO TWO COLUMNS.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WANT A BEER?

GREAT.

ALI?

YOU REALLY THINK
SUKARNO'S GOING TO
LET THE COMMIES

HAVE THEIR OWN
PRIVATE ARMY?

AIDIT'S LYING.

MAYBE.

KNOW WHY HE LET YOU
HAVE THIS INTERVIEW?

NO. YOU TELL US, PETE.

BECAUSE HE KNEW A MORE
EXPERIENCED JOURNALIST

WOULDN'T HAVE
EVEN FILED IT.

CURTIS, IF AIDIT TOLD YOU
HE HAD A TOOTHACHE,

YOU'D FILE IT.

YOU'VE BEEN AFTER HIM
FOR MONTHS.

THIS STINKS, BILLY,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

SUKARNO'S NOT STUPID.

HE LETS COMMUNISTS
HAVE ARMS,

AND WE'LL HAVE
CIVIL WAR TOMORROW.

YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT.

BETTER NOT BE.
I'M GETTING MARRIED.

DON'T LOSE
ANY SLEEP, KEVIN.

THIS STORY IS BULL,
AND WHEN I FILE,

I'M GONNA...ON IT FROM
A GREAT HEIGHT, MATE.

RIGHT.
YOU DO THAT, BUDDY.

THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY--

SIMMER DOWN!
YOU BOTH STOP IT!

NEXT TIME, PAL.

I MUST CONFESS, HAMILTON,

THAT I PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE INFUSED IT

WITH A LITTLE MORE
SKEPTICISM,

BUT BITTER RESENTMENT
WON'T PREVENT ME

FROM ADMITTING
IT WAS A GOOD PIECE.

NOW SHAKE HANDS.

BEAUTY AMONG THE SQUALOR.

I TOOK THAT
WITH A 200-MILLIMETER.

GOT A NATURAL ELEGANCE.

WHAT?

ELEGANCE
IS ALL I EVER
SEE YOU SHOOTING.

WHY DON'T YOU QUIT
TRYING TO SELL US
ABSTRACT BEAUTY

AND ADMIT
YOU'RE A PERVERT?

BILLY,
YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL.

IS THAT PORNOGRAPHY
OR ART?

IF IT'S IN FOCUS,
IT'S PORNOGRAPHY.

OUT OF FOCUS, IT'S ART.

DEFINITELY ART.

VERY EXQUISITE
CREATURES,
AREN'T THEY?

LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING, HAMILTON.

I'VE BEEN WORRIED
EVER SINCE YOU GOT HERE.

WHAT DO YOU DO
FOR SEX?

YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT?

WHENEVER I HIT
THE FRONT PAGE,
I GET A HELL OF A...

I GO
TO THE CEMETERY.

NOW YOU'RE
A NECROPHILIAC.

NO. IT'S WHERE
THE PROSTITUTES HANG OUT.

FANTASTIC GIRLS,
HAMILTON.

BEST-VALUE-
FOR-YOUR-MONEY
IN ASIA.

I'LL TAKE YOU UP THERE
RIGHT NOW.

SOME OTHER TIME.

RIDDLED WITH V.D.

NEVER HEARD
OF PENICILLIN?

YOU WILL LOVE
THIS ACTION.

YOU WANT
TO SPEND THE NIGHT,

COSTS YOU $1.00.

STARVATION IS
A GREAT APHRODISIAC.

KEEP IT UP, BILLY.

I'LL JUST NAIL YOU
TO THE CROSS.

HE CAN AFFORD
TO BE VIRTUOUS.

HE'S HOLDING HANDS

WITH THE BEST-LOOKING
CHICK IN TOWN.

SHE'S A FRIEND, CURTIS.

UH-HUH.
SURE SHE IS, BILLY.

YOU'D FIND THAT RELATIONSHIP
HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

GET ME THE NAILS!

I'LL HANG
THE LITTLE BASTARD UP!

YOU BEEN
HOLDING OUT ON ME?

HAMILTON.

THERE WE ARE.
GO ON.

TOO MUCH, HAMILTON.
TAKE IT EASY.

ALL RIGHT,
ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

TRY ONE OF THESE.
GO ON.

COME ON, COME ON.
OUT OF THE WAY.

WE'RE TRYING TO EAT HERE.

THIS IS
JUST TERRIFIC.

I WANT YOU TO MEET
YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND.

I JUST BOUGHT HIM FOR YOU.

DANCE FOR MY PAL HERE.

DO A DANCE FOR HIM.

[SINGING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

I CAN'T.
I BOUGHT HIM FOR YOU.

[YELLING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

THAT'S RIGHT.
HE'S YOURS.

HE GOES
WHEREVER YOU GO.

RIDICULOUS.

AHH. GOD.

IT WAS JUST A JOKE,
FELLAS.

JEEZ.

HEY, WALLY.

SORRY.

BILLY, IT WAS A JOKE.

FORGET IT.

HEY, WHAT'S
THAT WEIRD NOISE?

IT'S THE BAMBOO,

BUT THERE IS
A SPIRIT HERE.

I HEAR HIM OUTSIDE
AT NIGHT.

UH-HUH.

HE CAME INSIDE ONE NIGHT
AND SPILLED SOME DEVELOPER.

DO YOU REALLY
BELIEVE THAT STUFF?

ABSOLUTELY, OLD MAN.

THE UNSEEN
IS ALL AROUND US,

PARTICULARLY HERE
IN JAVA.

G'DAY, SPORT.

G'DAY.

YOU ONE OF US?

AIR CONDITIONING, HUH?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
LIVING LIKE THE PEOPLE.

I KEEP FILM STOCK HERE.
IT'S KINDER TO IT.

TO YOU, TOO, EH?

O.K., O.K.,

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE HERE
IS YOUR BASIC INDONESIA.

A NORMAL MAN
OF NORMAL INTELLIGENCE

CAPABLE OF HAVING
NORMAL CHILDREN,

BUT WHOSE BODY
IS A JOKE.

THE ONE GREAT ADVANTAGE
OF BEING A DWARF

IS THAT YOU CAN BE WISER
THAN OTHER PEOPLE

AND NO ONE ENVIES YOU.

YOU'RE NOT A DWARF.

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE
ABOUT YOU, GUY.

YOU REALLY DON'T CARE,
DO YOU?

EH?

WELL, MAYBE
YOU JUST DON'T SEE.

WANT SOME TEA?

LOVE SOME.

HEY, THIS PICTURE
OF SUKARNO HERE...

THAT'S ME.

THAT'S YOU. YEAH.

I DRESSED FOR THE PART.

HE'S QUITE A HERO
OF MINE.

I THINK HE'S A GENIUS.

HE'S REALLY TRYING
TO DO SOMETHING

FOR HIS PEOPLE.

TO THEM, HE'S A GOD.

THAT'S THE REAL DJAKARTA,

SCROUNGING FOR
A FEW HANDFULS OF RICE

TO KEEP THEM ALIVE
ANOTHER DAY.

THAT'S THE STORY YOU JOURNOS
DON'T TELL IN YOUR REPORTS.

NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT.

TELL THEM ANYWAY.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
EXHIBIT THESE?

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS.

I CARE ABOUT
THE CONTENT.

I'M NOT VERY
AESTHETICALLY MINDED.

THAT EXPLAINS
THOSE TERRIBLE...
YOU GOT AROUND.

YOU LIKE MY PUPPETS?

IF YOU WANT
TO UNDERSTAND JAVA,

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THE WAYANG--

THE SACRED SHADOW PLAY.

THE PUPPET MASTER
IS A PRIEST.

THAT'S WHY
THEY CALL SUKARNO

THE GREAT
PUPPET MASTER.

BALANCING THE LEFT
WITH THE RIGHT.

THEIR SHADOWS ARE SOULS,

AND THE SCREEN
IS HEAVEN.

YOU MUST
WATCH THEIR SHADOWS,

NOT THE PUPPETS.

THE RIGHT IN CONSTANT STRUGGLE
WITH THE LEFT,

THE FORCES OF LIGHT
AND DARKNESS IN ENDLESS BALANCE.

IN THE WEST, WE WANT
ANSWERS FOR EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING IS RIGHT OR WRONG
OR GOOD OR BAD,

BUT IN THE WAYANG,

NO SUCH
FINAL CONCLUSIONS EXIST.

LOOK AT PRINCE ARJUNA.

HE'S A HERO.

BUT HE CAN ALSO BE
FICKLE AND SELFISH.

KRISNA SAYS TO HIM,

"ALL IS CLOUDED BY DESIRE,
ARJUNA,

"AS A FIRE BY SMOKE,

"AS A MIRROR BY DUST.

THROUGH THESE,
IT BLINDS THE SOUL."

PRETTY GOOD STUFF.

THIS IS
THE PRINCESS SRIKANDI,

NOBLE AND PROUD...

BUT HEADSTRONG.

ARJUNA WILL
FALL IN LOVE WITH HER.

AND WHO'S THIS ONE?

AHH.

HE'S VERY SPECIAL.

THE DWARF...

SEMAR.

WHAT DOES HE DO?

HE SERVES THE PRINCE.

THAT'S MY JILLY.

NOW THERE'S SOMEONE
YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW.

THE CHAP
WITH THE MUSTACHE--

HE'S BRITISH
MILITARY ATTACHE.

COLONEL.

AH. KWAN.

THIS IS GUY HAMILTON
FROM A.B.S.

COLONEL
RALPH HENDERSON.

BEEN LISTENING
TO THE BROADCASTS.

RATHER MORE
INTERESTING THAN
YOUR PREDECESSOR.

JILLY!

OH, BILLY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I BROUGHT SOMEONE
TO MEET YOU.

I KNEW
I'D FIND YOU HERE.

THIS IS MY SPECIAL FRIEND
JILLY BRYANT.

GUY HAMILTON.

WELL,
DRINKS ALL AROUND?

OH, YES, PLEASE.

GIN TONICS
FOR EVERYONE?

MMM.

FOUR.

YOU'RE AT THE HOTEL?
IT'S A DELIGHTFUL SPOT.

WE'RE AT THE AMBASSADOR'S
RESIDENCE

SINCE THE LOCAL LADS
KNOCKED DOWN OUR EMBASSY.

I HEAR THEY TORE
THE PLACE APART.

YES. IT WAS
ALL RATHER DROLL.

OH, GOD. IT WAS
ANYTHING BUT DROLL.

DIDN'T SOME CLOWN
PLAY BAGPIPES?

THAT WAS RALPH.

IT HELPED THE MORALE.

I BET YOU'RE COUNTING
THE DAYS NOW, JILLY.

OH, THREE WEEKS.

TILL WHAT?

TILL I GO HOME.

WHERE'S THAT?

LONDON.

HAD ENOUGH
OF THE TROPICS?

I'VE BEEN ON THE MOVE
FIVE YEARS.

I'D LIKE TO GO
SOMEPLACE AND STAY.

AH. HERE ARE THE DRINKS.

UH, WHAT'S THIS?

GIN AND TONIC, SIR.

THIS IS GIN,
TONIC, AND ICE.

ALWAYS WITH ICE, SIR.

GIN TONIC DOES NOT
ALWAYS HAVE ICE.

I'M NOT AN AMERICAN.
GET ME ANOTHER.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TAKE IT.

WELL, WHO'S FOR A SWIM?

NOT ME.

I PROMISED MYSELF
AN AFTERNOON
OF LAZINESS.

HOW ABOUT YOU, JILLY?

NO. I'VE ONLY
JUST COME OUT.

WELL, COME IN AGAIN.

NO. STAY HERE.
KEEP BILLY COMPANY.

RIGHT, HAMILTON.
I'LL GIVE YOU A RACE.

A RACE?

YOU AUSTRALIANS ARE SUPPOSED
TO BE ABLE TO SWIM.

WHEN RALPH SAYS RACE,
HE MEANS IT.

THERE'S NO SENSE
BEING HALF-HEARTED.

GAMES ARE
A SERIOUS BUSINESS
WITH THE ENGLISH.

THEY HAVE THEIR PLACE.

COME ON, HAMILTON.

IS HE SERIOUS?

GO ON, THEN.

ALL RIGHT.
WISH ME LUCK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ABOUT WHAT?

HAMILTON.

HMM. CHEEKY.

COME ON, COLONEL.
KEEP PACE, NOW.

GO, COLONEL!

COME ON, RALPH!

UP THE A.B.S.,
HAMILTON!

DO IT
FOR THE A.B.S.!

COME ON, COLONEL!

WELL-DONE, RALPH!

WELL-DONE.

THE NEAREST ANYONE'S
COME TO BEATING HIM.

HE HAVE YOU WORRIED,
COLONEL?

INDEED, HE DID.

CONGRATULATIONS.

I FIND WE HAVE
SOMETHING ELSE IN COMMON.

WE'RE DIVIDED MEN.

YOUR FATHER--AMERICAN.
MINE--CHINESE.

WE'RE NOT REALLY CERTAIN
WE'RE AUSTRALIAN, YOU AND I.

WE'RE NOT QUITE AT HOME
IN THE WORLD.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

THANKS.

TIGER LILY,
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

HE'S HAVING TROUBLES
WITH THE MILITARY.

WHAT SORT OF TROUBLE?

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

HIS FATHER
HAS A SMALL SHOP.

EACH WEEK, THE MILITARY
COMES TO ASK FOR MONEY.

HE HAS NO MORE MONEY,
AND HE'S AFRAID.

NO, BOSS.
I'M NOT LOOKING
FOR HANDOUTS.

I GET MORE THAN THAT
EACH WEEK EXCHANGING DOLLARS

ON THE BLACK MARKET.

NO, BOSS.

DON'T BE STUPID, KUMAR.
KEEP THE DOUGH.

FOR MY FATHER,

I'LL PLAY
THE BEGGAR.

AMERICAN EMBASSY.

WHO IS IT?

PKI.

GOT THE BELL AND HOWELL
LOADED?

CHOCK-A-BLOCK.

ANY HAIRS ON THE LENS?

YOU WORRY
ABOUT THE WORDS.

I'LL TAKE CARE
OF THE PICTURES.

YEAH.
SEE THAT YOU DO.

YOU, COME ON.
YOU'RE DRIVING.

ME?

ME DRIVING?

CAMERA.

PKI DEMAND COMPLETE BREAK
WITH AMERICA.

THEY'RE GETTING
PRETTY CONFIDENT,
AREN'T THEY?

THEY HAVE
A LOT OF SUPPORT.

ENOUGH TO TAKE OVER?

PERHAPS.

PKI!

CAMERA.

AT LEAST THEY WILL
GIVE US DISCIPLINE.

STALIN
HAD GOOD DISCIPLINE.

HE WIPED OUT
10 MILLION.

TAKE US UP CLOSER
TO THE GATE.

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

I THINK WE GET OUT.

BOSS. BOSS! NO!

HAMILTON, GET ME UP.

GET OFF! GET BACK IN!

COME ON!

COME ON!

BASTARD CUT ME.

COME ON! COME ON!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. YEAH.
DID YOU GET THE SHOT?

YES!

THERE.
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, FINE.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF HER?

WHO?

JILL.

NOT MY TYPE.

OH. WHY'S THAT?

I THINK
IT'S HER ATTITUDE.

YOU KNOW HOW THE BRITISH
CAN BE SO DAMN SUPERIOR.

IT'S LIKE THE COLONEL
WITH HIS GIN TONIC AND ICE.

OH. JILLY'S NOT
LIKE THAT AT ALL.

WHO'S THAT IN
THE PHOTOGRAPH WITH HER?

PHILIPPE.
HE'S A FRENCH
JOURNALIST.

HE WAS WORKING HERE
FOR A WHILE.

WERE THEY...

YEAH, THEY WERE.

THEN HE GOT
TRANSFERRED.

IT'S DIFFICULT
FOR A WOMAN
LIKE JILLY HERE.

WHY?

EVERY GUY WANTS TO
GET HER INTO BED.

YOU KEEP THEM AT BAY,
RIGHT?

SORRY.

I ASKED HER
TO MARRY ME ONCE.

SHE TURNED ME DOWN.

WHAT ABOUT THE COLONEL?

I DON'T KNOW.
SHE'S FOND OF HIM.

YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH
THAT SORT OF THING
IN THE TROPICS.

I'LL GET YOU
A PENICILLIN TABLET.

GUESS I'LL SURVIVE.
THANKS.

WHAT IS ALL THIS STUFF?

THANK YOU.

WHO ARE YOU
WORKING FOR, BILLY?

FOR YOU.

THE COMMUNISTS?
THE CIA?
STOP IT.

WHY THE HELL
DO YOU KEEP
A FILE ON ME?

I KEEP FILES
ON EVERYBODY.

THAT'S
MY BUSINESS.

IF YOU'RE AN OPERATIVE
FOR SOMEONE ELSE--
I'M NOT.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO
KNOW THAT?

YOU'LL HAVE TO
TRUST ME.

WE'RE FRIENDS,
AREN'T WE?

WE MAKE
A GOOD TEAM.

WE EVEN
LOOK ALIKE.
IT'S TRUE.

WE'VE GOT
THE SAME
COLOR EYES.

HERE.

TAKE ONE OF THESE
EVERY FOUR HOURS.

HERE ON THE QUIET PAGE,
I'M MASTER,

JUST AS I'M MASTER
IN THE DARKROOM,

STIRRING MY PRINTS
IN THE MAGIC DEVELOPING BATH.

I SHUFFLE, LIKE CARDS,
THE LIVES I DEAL WITH.

THEIR FACES STARE OUT AT ME--

PEOPLE WHO WILL BECOME
OTHER PEOPLE,

PEOPLE WHO WILL BECOME OLD,
BETRAY THEIR DREAMS,

BECOME GHOSTS.

[WOMEN SINGING

[SPEAKING

[SPEAKING

[SPEAKING

IBU.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

DOCTOR.

IBU. DOCTOR.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

IBU.

DOCTOR.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

CAN'T MAKE HER UNDERSTAND
THAT THE CANAL

WHICH SHE AND UDIN BATHE IN
AND DRINK FROM CARRIES DISEASE.

IN ANOTHER COUNTRY,
SHE WOULD BE A DECENT WOMAN.

HERE, SHE BEGS
AND PERHAPS SELLS HERSELF.

HER TRAGEDY IS REPEATED
A MILLION TIMES IN THIS CITY.

WHAT THEN MUST WE DO?

WE MUST GIVE WITH LOVE

TO WHOMEVER GOD
HAS PLACED IN OUR PATH.

WHAT'S
THE BIG OCCASION?

GENTLEMEN,
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

I HAVE SECURED ME
A PORTION OF INDONESIA.

SO HAVE I, WALLY.

SHE'S WAITING FOR ME
UP IN MY ROOM.

A BEACHHEAD OF TRANQUILITY,
A PRIVATE DOMAIN, A HAVEN.

I HAVE TAKEN ME
A BUNGALOW.

WHAT?

A BUNGALOW?
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?

NOBODY
LIVES HERE.

LET'S SEE
HOW LONG YOU LAST.

WHERE IS YOUR DRINK?
GET YOUR GLASS OVER HERE.

AH, BILLY!

HOW DO YOU DO,
COLONEL?

DO YOU PEOPLE
KNOW SRI?

COLONEL HENDERSON,
THIS IS JILL, UH...

BRYANT.
BRYANT.

AND BILLY KWAN.

HEARD YOUR LOMBOK PIECE.
INTERESTING.

INTERESTING?

YES. YOU'RE STILL
YOUNG ENOUGH

AND BRAVE ENOUGH
TO SPECULATE.

THE LOMBOK FAMINE
WASN'T EXACTLY SPECULATION.

I'LL GET MY COAT.

JILLY,
WHAT DID YOU THINK?

I FOUND IT A BIT
MELODRAMATIC.

IT'S ONLY
MY OPINION.

MY FLATMATE
WAS MOVED TO TEARS,

SO THERE YOU ARE.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO MOVE YOU TO TEARS, EH?

JILLY.

CURFEW.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

RIGHT, EVERYONE.
CURFEW.

SO IT BEGINS.

HEY, PUT IT BACK.

I LIKE THE CHALLENGE.
PUT IT BACK.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

HELLO.

HELLO.

HELLO.
IS BILLY HERE?

HE HASN'T
BEEN IN ALL DAY.

WE WERE TO GO FOR LUNCH.

MAYBE
HE'S ON HIS WAY.

NOT UNLESS
HE'S LATER THAN I AM.

YOU WANT TO
WAIT FOR HIM?

OH, NO, THANK YOU.
I'VE INTERRUPTED YOU.

IT'S BEEN ONE OF
THOSE WASTED DAYS.

OH, IF BILLY
DOES COME BACK, UM,

TELL HIM I'VE GONE BACK
TO THE EMBASSY.

YOU'VE GOT A CAR?

I'LL TAKE A TAXI.

I CAN GIVE YOU
A LIFT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I WANTED TO GET HOLD
OF BILLY MYSELF.

MAYBE WE COULD
DRIVE OVER TO HIS PLACE

AND WAIT FOR HIM THERE.

HE'S BOUND TO TURN UP.

O.K.

O.K.

GET MY JACKET.

IT'S ON
THE BACK OF THE DOOR.

BOSS.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
THE SHEIK?

WHAT TIME?

2:00.

THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
CANCEL IT.

WHAT ABOUT
PRIOK?

YOU HAVE TO BE
THERE BY 3:00.

NOT 4:00?

3:00, BOSS.

I'LL MAKE IT,
AND STOP CALLING ME BOSS.

I'M SORRY

IF I OFFENDED YOU
LAST NIGHT

ABOUT YOUR FAMINE
STORY.

OH, NO. A BIT OF
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

NEVER GOES ASTRAY.

WHAT DID YOU THINK
WAS MELODRAMATIC ABOUT IT?

I DID OFFEND YOU,
DIDN'T I?

HELL, NO.
YOU DIDN'T.

IT WAS A GOOD PIECE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU
WERE TALKING ABOUT.

I WAS THERE
FOR TWO MONTHS.

I JUST THOUGHT
THERE WERE TOO MANY
REFERENCES

TO CHILDREN
WITH GAUNT RIB CAGES
AND BULBACEOUS EYES.

WELL, YOU WERE THERE.

THE RIG CAGES AND THE EYES
ARE THE REAL THING, EH?

PERHAPS
YOU ONLY NEEDED TO
MENTION IT ONCE.

[WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER
PLAYING]

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

THEY ALWAYS DO THAT.

WHAT?

THEY WANT TO TOUCH
YOUR WHITE SKIN.

I'M CURIOUS
ABOUT SOMETHING.

WHAT'S THAT?

WHY DID YOU LET RALPH
WIN THAT SWIMMING RACE?

YOU'RE OBSERVANT.

WHY DID YOU DO IT?

SEEMED IMPORTANT
TO HIM.

ARE YOU ALWAYS
THAT GENEROUS?

OH, NO.

SO WHY?

I GUESS
HE REMINDED ME
OF MY FATHER.

HE HAD THE SAME
BALD HEAD, MUSTACHE.

HE WAS KILLED
IN THE WAR.

HOW'D YOU
KNOW THAT?

BILLY TOLD ME.

BILLY

WAS PHILIPPE
A GOOD JOURNALIST?

ONE OF THE BEST.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

SAIGON.

DID BILLY TELL YOU?

YEAH.

YOU AND HE HAVE BECOME
QUITE A TEAM.

HE THINKS THE WORLD
OF YOU, YOU KNOW.

OH, GOD.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

YOU'RE EVERYTHING
HE'D LIKE TO BE.

HE'S A STRANGE
LITTLE GUY, YOU KNOW.

HOW DOES HE MANAGE
TO GET ME AN INTERVIEW

WITH THE TOP COMMUNIST
IN INDONESIA?

YOU THINK
HE'S AN AGENT.

WELL, MAYBE.

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM
VERY WELL, DO YOU?

HE'S A CAMERAMAN.

HOW DOES HE GET
SUCH GOOD CONTACTS?

PEOPLE TRUST HIM.

HE BREEZES
INTO EVERY EMBASSY
RECEPTION,

AND NOBODY CAN
GET UP THE COURAGE

TO ASK HIM TO LEAVE.

HE'S KEEPING
A FILE ON ME.

WHY DOES HE DO THAT
IF HE'S NOT AN AGENT?

HE KEEPS FILES
ON A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE?

PEOPLE
HE CARES ABOUT.

HAS HE TOLD YOU
ABOUT IBU?

WHO'S THAT?

A WOMAN HE'S ADOPTED
FROM THE KAMPONG.

BILLY'S GOT A WOMAN.

MORE THAN THAT.

THAT'S NOT HIS KID,
IS IT?

NO.

HE GIVES THEM
FOOD AND MONEY,

THAT'S ALL.

WOULD YOU LIKE
A CUP OF TEA?

NO, BETTER NOT.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE
INTERVIEWS AT PRIOK.

WANT TO COME?

TO PRIOK?

YOU CAN
KEEP AN EYE ON
THE MELODRAMA.

WHAT DO YOU DO
AT THE EMBASSY?

I MEAN, APART
FROM SOCIALIZING.

I WORK WITH RALPH.

YOU A SPY?

YOU'RE A SPOOK,
AREN'T YOU?

I'D HARDLY TELL YOU,
WOULD I?

WHAT AGENCY DID
PHILIPPE WORK FOR?

A.A.P.

WHEN DID HE GO
TO SAIGON?

A LONG TIME AGO.

PRETTY ARROGANT LOT,
AREN'T THEY?

WHO?

THE FRENCH.

I FIND THEM
ABSOLUTELY CHARMING.

DON'T YOU
JUST LOVE THE TROPICS?

DID YOU ORDER THESE?

I MUST HAVE.

LET'S TAKE THEM
WITH US.

OH.

OH, GOD.

CHEERS.

CHEERS.

MY HAT.

WHAT'S THIS?

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S
GREEN STUFF.

GREEN STUFF
USUALLY HAS ICE.

OH, NO.

GET ME ANOTHER
AT ONCE.

DON'T YOU HAVE
AN INTERVIEW?

LET'S GO
TO THE INTERVIEW.

IT LOOKS
MUCH BETTER
ON YOU.

MAYBE I SHOULD BUY ONE.

YOU CAN HAVE
THIS ONE CHEAP.

OH, REALLY.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

O.K.?

WELL, LOOK,
I HAD A--

WHEN ARE YOU
LEAVING?

IN TWO WEEKS.

WHAT ABOUT
DINNER TONIGHT?

NO.

WHAT ABOUT
TOMORROW NIGHT?

I'M BUSY ALL WEEK.

DON'T YOU EVER EAT?

GOOD-BYE.

I JUST WANT TO
SEE YOU AGAIN,
ALL RIGHT?

OH, LOOK,

WHAT'S THE POINT
OF COMPLICATING THINGS--

WHAT'S COMPLICATED
ABOUT EATING?

GOOD-BYE,
FOR THE SECOND TIME.

GOOD-BYE, BEAUTIFUL.

WATCH OUT
FOR THE MELODRAMA.

I'LL CALL YOU.

NO, DON'T.

I WILL.

THE SITUATION--SURVIVING
ON A FEW HANDFULS OF RICE

ON THIS FAMINE-STRICKEN
ISLAND OF LOMBOK.

BUT IT'S THE FACES
YOU CAN'T FORGET.

LIKE IMAGES
IN A RECURRING NIGHTMARE,

THEY JUST KEEP COMING BACK--

HAUNTED FACES,
STARING BLANKLY

BACK FROM THE WINDOWS
OF TUMBLE-DOWN HOVELS.

THE HOLLOW, LIFELESS EYES,

SKIN STRETCHED TIGHT
ACROSS BONES,

HANDS OUTSTRETCHED,

DULL, LISTLESS EYES IMPLORING.

I MOVE AS IF IN A DREAM

THROUGH THE AGONY
THAT IS FAMINE.

THIS IS GUY HAMILTON
IN LOMBOK FOR A.B.S. MAGAZINE.

HELLO

OH, I'M SORRY,
MR. HAMILTON.

UH, SHE'S OUT
THIS EVENING.

ANY MESSAGE?

I'LL TELL HER
YOU CALLED.

GOOD NIGHT.

ARE YOU SURE?

LISTEN TO THIS, GUY.

GUY, I'M NOT GOING TO
BE HERE FOR A FEW DAYS.

WHY DON'T YOU
USE THE BUNGALOW?
HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET.

SURE.

WHAT ARE YOU
GRINNING AT, YOU FOX?

THESE ARE GOOD.

OH, YES?

TARO MAKASI.

JILLY, YOU'VE ONLY
GOT 10 DAYS TO GO.

HMM.

10 DAYS.

ANY REGRETS?

NO.

NONE.

"HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S
AMBASSADOR,

"SIR ANDREW WATT
AND LADY WATT,

REQUEST THE PLEASURE
OF THE COMPANY OF
G.S. HAMILTON, ESQUIRE."

YOU GOING TO THIS?

YOU'RE JOKING.

YOU MIGHT LEARN
SOMETHING.

I DOUBT IT.
THE BRITISH DON'T
LET MUCH SLIP.

OH, YES, THEY DO.
THEY'RE JUST MORE SUBTLE.

YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN HARDER.

COME AGAIN?

JILL WILL BE THERE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

MUSIC FROM HENDERSON,
OYSTERS FROM QANTAS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...

COULD I REMIND THOSE OF YOU

DRIVING BACK TO DJAKARTA
THIS EVENING,

THE CURFEW HOUR APPROACHES.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

EXCUSE ME, SIR.

YOU'RE
TERRIBLY LATE.

THE AMBASSADOR'S
ALREADY ASKED ME
TO CLOSE HERE.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD EVENING.
ARE YOU ENJOYING YOURSELF?

I MUST SPEAK TO MISS BRYANT.

IT'S ABOUT THAT INTERVIEW,
MISS BRYANT.

THE INTERVIEW...

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU?
YOU DON'T ANSWER MY PHONE CALLS.

LET'S GO.

I CAN'T.
I'M A WEEKEND GUEST.

I CAN'T LEAVE
WITH YOU NOW.

EVERYONE
IN DJAKARTA...

I'M LEAVING
IN LESS THAN A WEEK.

BYE.

START, YOU BASTARD.

BASTARD.

NOT THE HOTEL INDONESIA,

ALL RIGHT?

JILL, WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

JILL, THE CURFEW!

JILL!

DAMN IT.
A ROADBLOCK.

O.K., GET DOWN.

YEE-HA!

GOOD MORNING.

MORNING, JILL.

RALPH, I'M SO SORRY.

SO AM I.

I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

MORNING.

SORRY I'M LATE.

BRYANT, JILLIAN EDITH.

NATIONALITY, BRITISH.

BORN 1938
UNDER THE SIGN OF PISCES.

I MUST BE MAD.

OCCUPATION--
ASSISTANT TO MILITARY ATTACHE,

BRITISH EMBASSY, DJAKARTA.

FORMER POSTINGS--
BRUSSELS, SINGAPORE.

LITTLE RELIGIOUS FEELING,
YET HAS A REVERENCE FOR LIFE.

THIS IS A SPIRIT
LIKE A WAVERING FLAME,

WHICH ONLY NEEDS CARE
TO BURN HIGH.

IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN,

SHE COULD LAPSE INTO
THE PROMISCUITY AND BITTERNESS

OF THE FAILED ROMANTIC.

ALI!

WHAT'S FUNNY?

YOU'RE LOOKING
A LITTLE POOPED, KID.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
THEY'RE ONLY JEALOUS.

I HEAR SHE REALLY
TURNS IT ON, HUH?

IS THAT WHAT
YOU HEARD, PETE?

HUH?

HEY, WHAT--

WELL, YOU SAW IT.
I MEAN, THE GUY'S
A LUNATIC.

I THINK
OUR BOY'S IN LOVE.

O.K., START HER UP.

ALL RIGHT,
SWITCH HER OFF.
SWITCH HER OFF!

YES, SIR.

WHY LONDON, EH?

WHAT ARE YOU
TRANSFERRING
THERE FOR?

WHY DO YOU WANT
TO GO TO SAIGON?

IT'S THE CENTER OF THINGS.

I'LL BE ABLE TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD,

NOT READ ABOUT IT
IN THE YELLOW PRESS
LIKE MOST PEOPLE.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY?

WHY SHOULD I?

HMM, MR. HAMILTON?

WHAT IS IT?

YOU'RE SOAKING.

JILL, WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?

WE GOT A CODED MESSAGE THROUGH
FROM SINGAPORE THIS MORNING.

A SHIP LEFT SHANGHAI
A FEW DAYS AGO

WITH ARMS FOR THE PKI.

CIVIL WAR.

YES.

I'M NOT TELLING YOU THIS
TO GIVE YOU SOME SCOOP.

I JUST WANT YOU
TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

OH, I KNOW. I KNOW.
IF THE PKI TAKE OVER,

THEY'LL SLAUGHTER
EVERY EUROPEAN IN DJAKARTA.

I CAN GET YOU ON A PLANE.

NO, JILL,
I'M STAYING.

NOTHING WILL KEEP
THE COMMUNISTS
AND MUSLIMS APART NOW,

NOT EVEN SUKARNO.

WONDER HOW THEY'RE GOING
TO GET THE STUFF IN.

PROBABLY A PORT UP NORTH.

YEAH, THEY'LL
COME IN UP NORTH,

UNDER A FALSE
BILL OF LADING--

TENNIS RACKETS,
TOILET SEATS.

GUY, YOU CAN'T USE THIS.

THEN YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TOLD ME.

HELLO, BILLY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WAITING FOR YOU.

SHOULD BE SOME MORE
WORK FOR YOU SOON.

I'M JUST TRACKING
SOMETHING DOWN.

ABOUT AN ARMS SHIPMENT?

JILL TOLD YOU.

I'M GETTING NOWHERE ON IT.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE
OUT THERE LOOKING.

WHY NOT?

SHE TOLD YOU
IN CONFIDENCE,
SAME AS SHE TOLD ME.

BREAK THE STORY, AND
EVERYONE WILL KNOW
IT CAME FROM HER.

I'LL GET EVIDENCE
OF MY OWN.

GREAT. THAT SHOULD
EASE YOUR CONSCIENCE.

EVERYONE WILL STILL KNOW
WHERE IT CAME FROM.

I CAN'T LET A STORY
LIKE THAT JUST LIE.

I'M NOT RUNNING ANY STORY

UNTIL I GET
INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION.

SORRY IF THAT'S
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

IF THE COMMUNISTS
HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT YOU'RE AFTER,

YOU'RE DEAD.

BILLY, WHEN THAT
ARMS SHIPMENT COMES IN,

THIS WHOLE COUNTRY
BLOWS UP.

HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU.

IF I DON'T FOLLOW THIS UP,

I MIGHT AS WELL
GROW WATERMELONS, EH?

YOU HAVE CHANGED.

YOU ARE CAPABLE OF BETRAYAL.

IS IT POSSIBLE
I WAS WRONG ABOUT YOU?

YOU ABUSE YOUR POSITION
AS JOURNALIST

AND GROW ADDICTED TO RISK.

YOU ATTEMPT TO RULE NEAT LINES
AROUND YOURSELF,

MAKING A FETISH OF YOUR CAREER

AND MAKING ALL RELATIONSHIPS
TEMPORARY,

LEST THEY DISTURB THAT CAREER.

WHY CAN'T YOU GIVE YOURSELF?

WHY CAN'T YOU LEARN TO LOVE?

A SHIPMENT THAT SIZE
DOES NOT COME
INTO THE COUNTRY

WITHOUT SOMEBODY
TAKING NOTICE.

PERHAPS THERE'S
NO SUCH SHIPMENT.

NO SUCH SHIPMENT...

O.K.

YOU COME BACK
IN TWO DAYS.

YOU KEEP AN EYE PEELED.

MR. HAMILTON.

BE CAREFUL
WHO YOU TALK TO
ABOUT THIS MATTER.

I'M NOT PKI, BUT
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

NO LUCK, BOSS?

NOT A BLOODY THING.

HEY, KUMAR?

WHAT ARE WE STOPPED
HERE FOR?

IT'S GETTING LATE,
BOSS.

WE'LL REST, THEN SWIM.

WE GOT TOO MUCH
WORK TO DO.

TOMORROW.

HEY, WHAT IS
THIS PLACE?

AN OLD DUTCH VILLA.

TIGER LILY
HAS A FRIEND.

WE STAY HERE
SOMETIMES.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

CHEERS.

I'LL SEE YOU
AFTER SIESTA.

YOU'RE IN OLD JAVA
NOW, BOSS.

YOU'RE PKI,
AREN'T YOU?

MY COUNTRY SUFFERS
UNDER A GREAT WEIGHT

OF POVERTY
AND CORRUPTION.

IS IT WRONG TO WANT
TO CHANGE THAT?

ARE YOU GOING TO BE
PART OF THE KILLING?

SOMETIMES THERE'S
NO OTHER WAY.

YEAH, SURE, KUMAR.

YOU MUST NOT ASK
ANYMORE ABOUT THE SHIP.

YOU KNOW WHEN
IT'S ARRIVING?

MAYBE
IT'S ALREADY HERE.

THAT'S THE CONFIRMATION
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

LISTEN TO ME!

I AM UNIMPORTANT
TO THE PARTY.

EVEN TIGER LILY'S
MORE HIGHLY PLACED.

THEY HAVE A DEATH LIST.

YOU ARE ON IT.

COME ON. COME ON.

OH...

HELLO?
ARE YOU THERE?

HELLO?

I'M SORRY.

JILL BRYANT IS
STILL UNAVAILABLE.

MAY I TAKE A MESSAGE
AND YOUR NUMBER?

I GOT SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.

* WELL, BE-BOP-A-LULA *

* SHE'S MY BABY *

* BE-BOP-A-LULA *

* I DON'T MEAN MAYBE *

I GOT THAT...BABY.
SAIGON, HUH?

* BE-BOP-A-LULA,
SHE'S MY BABY **

I'LL BE BLASTING GOOKS
AND KICKING ASS.

WANT ANOTHER SHOT?

MMM. YEAH.

THE THING IS THIS,

I DON'T WANT
ANY ILL FEELINGS
ABOUT THIS.

I KNOW IT'S HARD
TO SQUASH THOSE
PANGS OF ENVY

WHEN YOU'RE SITTING
IN THE PRESENCE OF
TALENT LIKE MINE,

BUT, I MEAN,
THINK OF IT THIS WAY.

IF THERE WEREN'T
GUYS LIKE ME IN
THIS BUSINESS,

WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE
TO ASPIRE TO?

I'M GLAD YOU'RE GOING
TO SAIGON.

YOU TOLD ME THAT
FOUR TIMES.

BECAUSE YOU ARE
GOING TO MISS OUT

ON THE BIGGEST STORY
OF YOUR LIFE.

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE JUST WAIT
AND SEE.

YOU TERRIFY ME.
YOU TERRIFY ME.

I'M WAITING TO ANNOUNCE
THAT CHINA'S ENTERING
THE WAR, RIGHT?

ALONG COMES
YOUNG HAMILTON,

BLOWS ME
OUT OF THE WATER

WITH AN UPDATE
ON SUKARNO'S PILES.

HA HA HA!

YOU ARE CRAZY.

YOU ARE
PRETTY GOOD.

YOU HAD ME
RUNNING THERE.

* A-BOP-BOP-A-LOOM-OP *

* A-LOP-BOP-BOOM! *

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

* TUTTI FRUTTI... *

CHECK THIS OUT.

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

* TUTTI FRUTTI... *

HA HA HA!

* NOW, WOP-BOP-A-LOOM-OP *

* A-WOP-BOP-BOP *

HEY, GIRLS.
MISTER RIGHT.

HEY! YEAH!

O.K., YOU BEVY
OF BEAUTIES!

* GOT A GAL NAMED SUE *

* SHE KNOWS JUST WHAT TO DO *

* SHE KNOWS HOW TO LOVE ME *

* YES, INDEED *

* SHE DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE'S DOING TO ME *

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

LET ME SHOW YOU
HOW IT'S DONE, GARCON.

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

* TUTTI FRUTTI AU RUTTI *

NO DANCE!

* GOT A GIRL NAMED DAISY **

YOU! STOP DANCE!

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
TAKE IT EASY.

OUT!

WE'RE ON THE WAY.

WE HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS.

ADIOS.

ALL RIGHT.
GET THE WINDOWS UP!

LOCK THE DOOR!

SEE ANYBODY YOU LIKE?

LET'S GET
A LITTLE LIGHT
ON THE SUBJECT.

HOW ABOUT HER?
YOU LIKE HER

SHE LIKES YOU.

HA HA HA!

THIS IS CALLED
YELLOW FEVER, KID.

HA HA HA!

ME CHEAP!
ME CHEAP!

I THINK I'M IN LOVE.

CHOOSE ME, MISTER.

OOH, YEAH, BABY!

WHOO, YES!
HEY, HEY, HEY!

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

IT'S LIKE A BLOODY
MEAT MARKET HERE.

I'M GOING.
ARE YOU STAYING?

YEAH.
O.K. GET OUT.

TAKE IT EASY, PAL.

YOU, TOO.
HAVE A NICE TIME.

GIRLS, HUH?

IT'S YOUR OLD PAL,
MR. PETE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YEAH. YEAH. O.K.

SORRY. MISS BRYANT'S
NOT AVAILABLE.

THANKS.

BILLY! BILLY,
COME OVER HERE!

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING
EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!

WHAT IS ALL THIS?

BULGARIAN
INDEPENDENCE DAY.

NOT A CRUCIAL DAY
FOR MODERN HISTORY,

BUT SUKARNO'S COMING
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

WE THINK HE'LL USE
THE OCCASION
FOR A SPEECH.

I'M SURE
HE WILL.

THAT COMES LATER.

RIGHT NOW
WE'RE CELEBRATING.

WHAT ARE YOU
CELEBRATING?

CURTIS GOT SAIGON.

HUH HUH?

CURTIS GOT SAIGON.

WELL, WE MUST ALL
DRINK TO THAT.

NO, NO, BILLY.

DON'T GIVE ME
THIS CRAP TONIGHT.

WHEREVER HUMAN MISERY
IS AT ITS WORST,

THE PRESS WILL
BE THERE IN FORCE.

TO SAIGON.

GIVE ME A BREAK,
WILL YOU?

PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING
IN THE STREETS FOR RICE.

I SHOT SOME FOOTAGE.

DOES ANYBODY WANT IT?
YOU CAN HAVE IT.

IT'S ONLY
A TEMPORARY
SHORTAGE.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM
THE TRUE STORY, GENTLEMEN?

TELL THEM SUKARNO
MAKES EMPTY SPEECHES

AND BUILDS MONUMENTS
TO HIS VANITY

WHILE HIS PEOPLE
STARVE TO DEATH.

TELL THEM THAT
HE SAYS, "EAT RATS"!

YOU WERE THE ONE
WHO TOLD US HE WAS
A GREAT MAN.

HE WAS.

THAT'S WHY HIS BETRAYAL
IS SO HIDEOUS.

STEADY ON,
BILLY.

I'VE NEVER REALLY
AGREED WITH YOU

ON JUST HOW MUCH

THE PEOPLE ARE
SUPPOSED TO MEAN
TO SUKARNO.

ALL HE WANTS TO DO
IS SLEEP WITH THEM.

THE FEMALE ONES,
THAT IS.

HA HA HA!

HE DOES USE HIS PEOPLE
AS OBJECTS OF PLEASURE,

BUT THEN, SO DO YOU.

ONLY YOU DO IT
WITH BOYS!

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

YOU LITTLE BASTARD!

CURTIS!

THEY'LL THROW HIM
OUT OF THE COUNTRY!

YOU AND
YOUR LITTLE GIRLS!

PUT HIM DOWN!

BILLY?

BILLY!

I'LL HAVE MY BAGS
PACKED TONIGHT. HMM?

BILLY!

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!

BILLY!

BILLY, STOP!

DAMN IT!

WHAT THE HELL'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU?

YOU MADE THE BROADCAST,
DIDN'T YOU?

I DIDN'T SOURCE THAT
BACK TO JILL.

I GOT THAT
SOMEPLACE ELSE.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

THIS COULD CHANGE
THE POLITICAL SHAPE
OF SOUTHEAST ASIA.

HOW FAR ARE MY LOYALTIES
TO JILL SUPPOSED TO GO?

I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP
THE WORLD FOR HER.

YOU WON'T GIVE UP
ONE STORY.

IT'S NOT JUST
A STORY, DAMN IT!

IT'S THE BLOODY STORY!

CAN'T YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT?

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU'VE LOST JILL.

WHAT? WHAT HAVE
YOU TOLD HER?

I GAVE HER TO YOU.
I'M TAKING HER BACK.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU GAVE HER TO ME?

YOU GAVE HER TO ME?
YOU MAD LITTLE BASTARD!

YOU THINK YOU CAN
CONTROL PEOPLE'S LIVES

JUST BECAUSE
YOU GOT THEM IN
YOUR BLOODY FILES?

NO. I BELIEVED
IN YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
A MAN OF LIGHT.

THAT'S WHY I GAVE YOU
THOSE STORIES

YOU THINK
ARE SO IMPORTANT.

I MADE YOU SEE THINGS.

I MADE YOU FEEL
SOMETHING ABOUT
WHAT YOU WRITE.

I GAVE YOU MY TRUST.

SO DID JILL.

I CREATED YOU.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

MY GOD.

MY GOD.

WHAT THEN MUST WE DO?

WHAT THEN MUST WE DO?

WHAT...

THEN...

MUST...

WE...

DO!

MUST...

WE...

DO!

DO!

DO!

ROOM 719, PLEASE.

ROOM 719.

EXCUSE ME.

I MADE
THE BROADCAST.

THE PKI
CONFIRMED IT.

I MADE THE DECISION
TO TELL YOU.

YOU'RE A JOURNALIST.

MR. DAVIS.
SECURITY CHECK.

SECURITY CHECK.

YOU SEE THE LATCH
IS ON THE DOOR.

Billy: AAH!

OH!

CLEAR THE WAY!

BILLY!

HEY, GUARDS,
STOP HIM!

JILL...I DIDN'T MEAN
TO FRIGHTEN YOU.

YOU SHOULDN'T
EVEN BE HERE.

THE SECURITY MEN--

I DON'T WANT THEM
TO GET HIS FILES.

HE WAS MURDERED,
WASN'T HE?

YEAH.

OVER A BANNER,
AND SUKARNO
DIDN'T EVEN SEE IT.

WHO TOOK THIS?

HE DID.

SELF-TIMER, OUTSIDE
THAT GROTTY LITTLE
RESTAURANT

HE ALWAYS USED TO
DRAG ME TO.

"BEST FOOD IN
DJAKARTA, OLD MAN."

GOD, I LOVED HIM.

WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?

TOMORROW.

WHAT TIME?

2:00.

THE LAST THING
I WANTED TO DO
WAS TO HURT YOU

BY RUNNING
THAT STORY.

I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT IT.

I DON'T WANT
TO LOSE YOU.

YOU GO FIRST.
GO ON. BACK DOOR.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
GO. GO!

JILL,
I'LL BE ON THAT PLANE.

[RADIO ANNOUNCER
SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

HORTONO.

WHAT'S GOING ON?
I GOT TO GET TO THE AIRPORT.

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

SOME PEOPLE HAVE
TAKEN OVER GOVERNMENT.

TROOPS HAVE MOVED TO
THE PRESIDENT'S PALACE.

LET'S GO.

BOSS, BROADCAST SAY
WE SHOULD NOT GO OUT!

IT'S O.K. IT'S O.K.

NOW COME ON.
THEY WON'T TOUCH US.
COME ON. COME ON!

YOU BETTER KEEP
THE ENGINE RUNNING, EH?

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

PRESS. PRESS.
FOREIGN PRESS. A.B.S.

PRESS. PRESS.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

UH, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND YOU.

I WANT TO GO INTO
THE PALACE, O.K.?

[YELLING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

TAKE ME TO THE AIRPORT.

CAN'T, BOSS!
ROADBLOCK!

TAKE ME TO BILLY KWAN'S.

O.K., BOSS. O.K.

YES, THE RETINA
IS DETACHED.

YOU MUST LIE
VERY STILL.

HOW LONG?

A WEEK,
MAYBE 10 DAYS.

IF YOU WISH TO
SAVE YOUR EYE,
YOU WILL LIE STILL.

DO YOU HAVE TO
BANDAGE BOTH EYES?

I'LL BE HELPLESS.

I'M SORRY.

[SPEAKING
FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

YOUR EYE WILL BE BETTER?

MAYBE NOT.

LUCKY. STILL GOT ONE.

HA HA HA!

BAD MEN MIGHT
COME SOON, I THINK.

I MUST GO HOME
TO FAMILY.

I'M SORRY, BOSS.

GOOD-BYE, HORTONO.

GOOD-BYE, BOSS.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU.

BILLY?

PATIENCE, MR. HAMILTON.

ALL IS CLOUDED BY DESIRE,

AS A FIRE BY SMOKE,

AS A MIRROR BY DUST.

PLEASE...

BILLY!

WHO'S THAT?

HORTONO?

WHO'S THAT?

IT'S ME, BOSS.

HAVE YOU BEEN SENT
TO KILL ME?

WE HAVE FAILED.

WE HAVE BEEN OVERCOME
BY THE MUSLIM GENERALS.

WHAT ABOUT SUKARNO?

HE'S FINISHED.

HE'LL BECOME
A PUPPET OF THE RIGHT.

AND YOU?

I'M A DEAD MAN.

I'M SORRY ABOUT
YOUR EYE.

THERE SHOULD BE A PACKET
OF CIGARETTES ON THE TABLE.

HELP YOURSELF.

STILL THE GOOD
CIGARETTES, BOSS.

HUH.

THANK YOU.

TELL ME SOMETHING.

SURE.

AM I A STUPID MAN?

NO, KUMAR.

WHY SHOULD I LIVE
LIKE A POOR MAN

WHEN STUPID PEOPLE
IN YOUR COUNTRY
LIVE WELL?

GOOD QUESTION.

THEN PLEASE ANSWER IT.

I CAN'T.

THEN WHY DO YOU CONDEMN
THOSE IN MY COUNTRY

WHO TRY TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

MR. BILLY KWAN
WAS RIGHT--

WESTERNERS
DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS
ANYMORE.

WATER FROM THE MOON.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN,
KUMAR?

IT'S AN OLD
JAVANESE SAYING.

IT MEANS SOMETHING
ONE CANNOT EVER HAVE.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

JUST PAST 1:00.

THE AIRPORT CLOSED?

NOT YET...
BUT EVERYTHING
WILL CLOSE DOWN
