- Are you all right, Captain?

32
00:08:28,092 --> 00:08:30,803

There's no charges, Captain.

No, thank you, sir.

67
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,667
Captain,
have you ever seen this gentleman before?

68
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,127
No, sir.

69
00:10:26,210 --> 00:10:29,005
- Met the General or myself?
- No, sir.

70
00:10:29,088 --> 00:10:30,339
Not personally.

71
00:10:31,716 --> 00:10:33,986
[Lucas] You've worked a lot on your own,
haven't you, Captain?

72
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:35,428
Yes, sir, I have.

73
00:10:35,511 --> 00:10:36,738
[Lucas]
Your report specifies Intelligence,

74
00:10:36,762 --> 00:10:39,181
Counterintelligence with COMSEC, I Corps.

75
00:10:39,265 --> 00:10:41,684
I'm not presently disposed
to discuss those operations, sir.

76
00:10:51,402 --> 00:10:53,362
Did you not work for the CIA in I Corps?

77
00:10:55,823 --> 00:10:56,949
No, sir.

78
00:10:57,033 --> 00:10:59,702
[Lucas] Did you not
assassinate a government tax collector,

Captain?

81
00:11:08,127 --> 00:11:12,757
Sir, I am unaware
of any such activity or operation,

82
00:11:13,758 --> 00:11:19,096
[clears throat] nor would I be
disposed to discuss such an operation

83
00:11:19,180 --> 00:11:21,640
if it did, in fact, exist, sir.

84
00:11:33,527 --> 00:11:35,780
I thought we'd have
a bite of lunch while we talk.

85
00:11:35,863 --> 00:11:38,991
I hope you brought a good appetite,
Captain.

86
00:11:39,617 --> 00:11:41,660
I noticed that you have

87
00:11:43,371 --> 00:11:45,206
a bad hand, there. Are you wounded?

88
00:11:45,289 --> 00:11:47,792
I had a little fishing accident
on RandR, sir.

89
00:11:47,875 --> 00:11:50,753
- [General] Fishing on RandR?
- Yes, sir.

90
00:11:50,836 --> 00:11:53,255
But you're feeling fit?
You're ready for duty?

91
00:11:53,339 --> 00:11:55,925
Yes, General. Very much so, sir.

92
00:11:56,008 --> 00:11:57,718
Well, let's see what we have here.

93
00:11:57,802 --> 00:12:01,180
Roast beef, and usually it's not bad.

94
00:12:02,973 --> 00:12:05,476
Try some, Jerry, and pass it around.

95
00:12:06,143 --> 00:12:09,230
To save a little time,
we might pass both ways.

96
00:12:12,650 --> 00:12:15,736
Captain, I don't know how
you feel about this shrimp,

97
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:18,072
but if you'll eat it,

98
00:12:18,155 --> 00:12:21,325
you'll never have to prove
your courage in any other way.

99
00:12:22,368 --> 00:12:25,371
[Jerry] Right, well,
why don't I just take a piece here?

100
00:12:26,622 --> 00:12:29,792
[Lucas] Captain,
you've heard of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz?

101
00:12:32,670 --> 00:12:34,422
Yes, sir, I've heard the name.

102
00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:36,382
[Lucas] Jesus.

00:12:39,468 --> 00:12:42,138
Luke, would you play that
tape for the Captain, please?

105
00:12:42,221 --> 00:12:45,391
- [Lucas] Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
- Listen to this carefully, Captain.

[General] Walt Kurtz

this country's ever produced.

139
00:14:32,414 --> 00:14:35,584
He was brilliant.
He was outstanding in every way.

140
00:14:36,418 --> 00:14:38,963
And he was a good man, too.

141
00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:40,965
A humanitarian man.

142
00:14:42,216 --> 00:14:44,093
A man of wit and humor.

143
00:14:45,678 --> 00:14:47,638
He joined the Special Forces.

144
00:14:49,682 --> 00:14:51,475
And after that,

145
00:14:53,477 --> 00:14:56,313
his ideas, methods,

146
00:14:58,816 --> 00:15:00,109

Unsound.

149
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:20,921
Now he's crossed into Cambodia
with this Montagnard army of his

150
00:15:21,005 --> 00:15:24,758
that worship the man like a god.

And follow every order,
however ridiculous.

152
00:15:30,514 --> 00:15:34,727
[General] Well, I have some
other shocking news to tell you.

153
00:15:35,185 --> 00:15:37,521
Colonel Kurtz is about to be

154
00:15:38,397 --> 00:15:40,399
arrested for murder.

155
00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:44,153
I don't follow, sir. Murdered who?

156
00:15:44,236 --> 00:15:48,407
Kurtz had ordered the execution
of some Vietnamese intelligence agents.

157
00:15:48,490 --> 00:15:50,909
Men he believed were double agents.

158
00:15:52,411 --> 00:15:55,039
So he took matters into his own hands.

159
00:15:57,249 --> 00:15:59,251
Well, you see, Willard,

160
00:16:00,419 --> 00:16:02,421
in this war, things get

161
00:16:03,756 --> 00:16:05,799
confused out there.

162
00:16:06,717 --> 00:16:10,262
Power, ideals, the old morality,

163
00:16:10,346 --> 00:16:12,973
and practical military necessity.

164
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:17,436
But out there with these natives,

165
00:16:18,604 --> 00:16:21,565
it must be a temptation

166
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,568
to be God.

167
00:16:28,364 --> 00:16:31,575
Because there's
a conflict in every human heart

168
00:16:32,743 --> 00:16:35,537
between the rational and the irrational,

169
00:16:36,372 --> 00:16:38,248
between good and evil.

170
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:42,086
And good does not always triumph.

171
00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:46,048
Sometimes

172
00:16:47,758 --> 00:16:49,385
the dark side

173
00:16:50,052 --> 00:16:54,431
overcomes what Lincoln called,
"The better angels of our nature."

174
00:16:56,308 --> 00:16:58,936
Every man has got a breaking point.

175
00:16:59,603 --> 00:17:01,397
You and I have them.

176
00:17:03,065 --> 00:17:05,192
Walt Kurtz has reached his,

177
00:17:07,277 --> 00:17:09,947
and very obviously he has gone insane.

178
00:17:12,616 --> 00:17:14,952
[helicopter whirring]

179
00:17:23,252 --> 00:17:27,131
Yes, sir. Very much so, sir.
Obviously insane.

180
00:17:31,635 --> 00:17:35,222
[Lucas] Your mission is to proceed
up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat,

181
00:17:37,224 --> 00:17:40,060
pick up Colonel
Kurtz's path at Nu Mung Ba,

182
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:43,480
follow it,
learn what you can along the way.

183
00:17:43,564 --> 00:17:46,358
When you find the Colonel,
infiltrate his team by

184
00:17:46,442 --> 00:17:48,986
[clearing throat] whatever means available

185
00:17:49,862 --> 00:17:52,030
and terminate the Colonel's command.

186
00:17:58,203 --> 00:18:01,039
Terminate the Colonel?

187
00:18:01,915 --> 00:18:06,128
He's out there operating
without any decent restraint,

188
00:18:06,211 --> 00:18:12,092
totally beyond the pale
of any acceptable human conduct.

189
00:18:12,176 --> 00:18:15,262
And he is still in the field,
commanding troops.

190
00:18:16,764 --> 00:18:20,142
Terminate with extreme prejudice.

191
00:18:21,852 --> 00:18:25,230
[Lucas] You understand, Captain,
that this mission does not exist,

192
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:28,984
nor will it ever exist.

193
00:19:24,206 --> 00:19:26,959
[Willard] <i>How many
people had I already killed?</i>

194
00:19:27,793 --> 00:19:30,963
<i>There were those six
that I knew about for sure.</i>

195
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:35,050
<i>Close enough to blow
their last breath in my face.</i>

196
00:19:37,386 --> 00:19:42,307
<i>But this time it was
an American and an officer.</i>

197
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:58,240
<i>That wasn't supposed to make
any difference to me, but it did.</i>

198
00:20:00,826 --> 00:20:04,329
<i>Shit, charging a man
with murder in this place</i>

199
00:20:04,413 --> 00:20:07,958
<i>was like handing out
speeding tickets at the Indy 500.</i>

200
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:14,214
<i>I took the mission.
What the hell else was I gonna do?</i>

201
00:20:16,133 --> 00:20:19,761
<i>But I really didn't know
what I'd do when I found him.</i>

202
00:20:26,727 --> 00:20:29,313
[man 1] Did you check the tank?

203
00:20:29,396 --> 00:20:30,856
[man 2] Yeah.

204
00:20:32,608 --> 00:20:36,194
[Willard] <i>I was being ferried
down the coast in a Navy PBR.</i>

205
00:20:36,278 --> 00:20:40,782
<i>A type of plastic patrol boat,
a pretty common sight on the rivers.</i>

206
00:20:40,866 --> 00:20:43,243
<i>They said it was a good way
to pick up information and move</i>

207
00:20:43,327 --> 00:20:45,829
<i>without drawing a lot of attention.</i>

208
00:20:45,913 --> 00:20:47,748
<i>And that was okay.</i>

209
00:20:47,831 --> 00:20:50,000
<i>I needed the air and the time.</i>

210
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,253
<i>Only problem was, I wouldn't be alone.</i>

211
00:20:53,337 --> 00:20:55,172
Morning, Captain.

212
00:20:57,549 --> 00:21:00,802
[Willard] <i>The crew were mostly just kids.</i>

213
00:21:00,886 --> 00:21:03,972
<i>Rock 'n' rollers
with one foot in their graves.</i>

214
00:21:05,015 --> 00:21:07,351
- How old are you?
- Seventeen.

215
00:21:08,894 --> 00:21:10,663
[Willard] The machinist,
the one they called Chef,

216
00:21:10,687 --> 00:21:12,147
<i>was from New Orleans.</i>

217
00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:15,108
<i>He was wrapped too tight for Vietnam.</i>

218
00:21:15,192 --> 00:21:17,653
<i>Probably wrapped
too tight for New Orleans.</i>

219
00:21:18,153 --> 00:21:20,447
<i>Lance, on the forward .50s,
was a famous surfer</i>

220
00:21:20,530 --> 00:21:22,824
<i>from the beaches south of LA.</i>

221
00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:26,870
<i>To look at him, you wouldn't believe
he'd ever fired a weapon in his life.</i>

222
00:21:28,664 --> 00:21:33,001
<i>Clean, Mr. Clean,
was from some South Bronx shithole,</i>

223
00:21:33,085 --> 00:21:35,170
<i>and I think the light and space of Vietnam</i>

224
00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:37,506
<i>really put the zap on his head.</i>

225
00:21:40,425 --> 00:21:42,803
<i>Then there was Phillips, the Chief.</i>

226
00:21:42,886 --> 00:21:46,765
<i>It might have been my mission,
but it sure as shit was the Chief's boat.</i>

227
00:21:46,848 --> 00:21:49,101
There's about two points
where we can draw enough water

228
00:21:49,184 --> 00:21:51,478
to get into the Nung River.

229
00:21:51,561 --> 00:21:54,064
They're both hot, belong to Charlie.

230
00:21:55,732 --> 00:21:57,234
Don't worry about it.

231
00:21:58,068 --> 00:21:59,569
Don't smoke.

232
00:22:01,571 --> 00:22:04,741
You know,
I've pulled a few special ops in here.

233
00:22:04,825 --> 00:22:06,743
About six months ago,

234
00:22:07,327 --> 00:22:10,664
I took a man who was going up
past the bridge at Do Luong.

235
00:22:11,915 --> 00:22:13,875
He was regular Army, too.

236
00:22:16,503 --> 00:22:19,006
I heard he shot himself in the head.

237
00:22:27,889 --> 00:22:31,143
[Willard] <i>At first, I thought
they handed me the wrong dossier.</i>

238
00:22:31,727 --> 00:22:34,438
<i>I couldn't believe
they wanted this man dead.</i>

239
00:22:36,148 --> 00:22:39,026
<i>Third-generation West Point,
top of his class,</i>

240
00:22:39,109 --> 00:22:44,698
<i>Korea, Airborne, about 1,000 decorations,
et cetera, et cetera.</i>

241
00:22:48,118 --> 00:22:52,330
<i>I had heard his voice on the tape
and it really put the hook in me,</i>

242
00:22:53,081 --> 00:22:56,752
<i>but I couldn't connect up
that voice with this man.</i>

243
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,720
<i>Like they said,
he had an impressive career.</i>

244
00:23:07,637 --> 00:23:09,473
<i>Maybe too impressive.</i>

245
00:23:10,515 --> 00:23:12,059
<i>I mean, perfect.</i>

246
00:23:13,101 --> 00:23:16,980
<i>He was being groomed for one
of the top slots in the corporation,</i>

247
00:23:17,064 --> 00:23:19,900
<i>General, Chief of Staff, anything.</i>

248
00:23:22,152 --> 00:23:26,239
<i>In 1964, he returned from a tour
with advisory command in Vietnam</i>

249
00:23:26,323 --> 00:23:28,658
<i>and things started to slip.</i>

250
00:23:28,742 --> 00:23:32,996
<i>His report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and Lyndon Johnson was restricted.</i>

251
00:23:35,290 --> 00:23:37,167
<i>Seems they didn't dig
what he had to tell them.</i>

252
00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:41,922
<i>During the next few months,
he made three requests for transfer</i>

253
00:23:42,005 --> 00:23:47,219
<i>to Airborne training, Fort Benning,
Georgia, and was finally accepted.</i>

254
00:23:49,971 --> 00:23:51,431
<i>Airborne?</i>

255
00:23:54,184 --> 00:23:55,936
<i>He was 38 years old.</i>

256
00:23:57,896 --> 00:24:00,107
<i>Why the fuck would he do that?</i>

257
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,695
<i>1966, joins Special Forces,</i>

258
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:08,198
<i>returns Vietnam.</i>

259
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:09,825
[rumbling]

260
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:11,952
- Hey, what's that?
- [Willard] Arc light.

261
00:24:12,035 --> 00:24:14,955
- What's that?
- [Willard] B-52 strike.

262
00:24:16,957 --> 00:24:18,291
- What's that?
- Arc light.

263
00:24:18,375 --> 00:24:21,461
[Clean] I hate that. Every time
I hear that, something terrible happens.

264
00:24:21,545 --> 00:24:23,547
Charlie don't never see them
or hear them, man.

265
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:24,631
There they are.

266
00:24:24,714 --> 00:24:27,342
[Clean] Concussion will suck
the air out of your damn lungs.

267
00:24:27,884 --> 00:24:30,971
- [Chef] Something terrible's gonna happen.
- Smoke!

268
00:24:31,054 --> 00:24:32,806
[Clean] Secondary burning.

269
00:24:32,889 --> 00:24:34,766
[Chief] Hueys over there. Lots of Hueys.

270
00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:36,250
[Willard] Let's have a look, Chief.

271
00:24:39,646 --> 00:24:42,566
[Willard] <i>It was the air cav,
First of the Ninth.</i>

272
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:43,775
That's them.

273
00:24:43,859 --> 00:24:46,319
<i>Our escorts
to the mouth of the Nung River.</i>

274
00:24:46,403 --> 00:24:50,323
<i>But they were supposed to be
waiting for us another 30 km ahead.</i>

275
00:24:50,407 --> 00:24:54,870
<i>Well, Airmobile,
those boys just couldn't stay put.</i>

276
00:24:55,745 --> 00:24:58,248
[people clamoring]

277
00:25:00,333 --> 00:25:01,751
[machine guns firing]

278
00:25:07,340 --> 00:25:10,468
[soldier] Kid, come on. Get down. Come on.

279
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:24,232
[Willard] <i>First of the Ninth
was an old cavalry division</i>

280
00:25:24,316 --> 00:25:27,861
<i>that had cashed in its horses for
choppers and gone tear-assing around Nam</i>

281
00:25:27,944 --> 00:25:29,779
<i>looking for the shit.</i>

282
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,117
<i>They'd given Charlie a few
surprises in their time here.</i>

283
00:25:35,035 --> 00:25:38,663
<i>What they were mopping up now
hadn't even happened yet an hour ago.</i>

284
00:25:40,123 --> 00:25:42,283
[TV director] Just keep running by.
Run for television.

285
00:25:42,334 --> 00:25:44,753
Don't look at the camera.
Just keep... Go on! Keep going.

286
00:25:44,836 --> 00:25:46,480
This is for television.
Don't look at the camera.

287
00:25:46,504 --> 00:25:47,589
Don't look at the camera.

288
00:25:47,672 --> 00:25:50,175
Just go by like you're fighting.
Like you're fighting.

289
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:52,737
Don't look at the camera.
It's for television. Just go through!

290
00:25:52,761 --> 00:25:55,263
Go through! Just go by! Keep on going!

291
00:25:55,347 --> 00:25:59,226
Keep going. Don't look at the camera.
Go on. Keep going.

292
00:26:21,122 --> 00:26:23,083
Where can I find the CO?

293
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:24,584
That's the Colonel coming down!

294
00:26:35,762 --> 00:26:37,806
The CO's on that chopper.

295
00:27:00,870 --> 00:27:04,374
Lieutenant,
bomb that tree line back about 100 yards!

296
00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:07,002
- Give me some room to breathe!
- Yes, sir!

297
00:27:12,841 --> 00:27:14,676
- Body cards!
- Sir?

298
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:16,886
- Bring my body cards!
- Yes, sir!

299
00:27:21,016 --> 00:27:23,518
I'm the fourth tank commander.
I got five tanks broken down.

300
00:27:23,601 --> 00:27:26,563
We're all right with the tanks.
It's all right, Captain.

301
00:27:27,063 --> 00:27:28,106
Captain Willard!

302
00:27:28,189 --> 00:27:31,985
I carry priority papers from
COMSEC Intelligence, II Corps.

303
00:27:32,068 --> 00:27:35,739
I understand Nha Trang has briefed
you on the requirements of my mission.

304
00:27:35,822 --> 00:27:38,491
What mission?
I haven't heard from Nha Trang.

305
00:27:38,575 --> 00:27:41,328
Sir, your unit is supposed
to escort us into the Nung!

306
00:27:41,411 --> 00:27:43,330
- We'll see what we can do, but...
- Colonel.

307
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:45,573
...just stay out of my way
until this is done, Captain.

308
00:27:51,421 --> 00:27:54,007
All right, let's see what we have.
Let's see what we have.

309
00:27:54,090 --> 00:27:58,136
A two of spades, three of spades,
four of diamonds,

310
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:01,931
six of clubs, eight of spades.

311
00:28:02,932 --> 00:28:06,561
There isn't one worth a jack
in the whole bunch. Four of diamonds.

312
00:28:08,229 --> 00:28:12,359
- [Lance] Hey, Captain, what's that?
- [Willard] Death cards!

313
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:15,195
- What?
- Death cards!

314
00:28:15,278 --> 00:28:17,947
- Death?
- It lets Charlie know who did this.

315
00:28:21,785 --> 00:28:24,204
- Cheer up, son.
- [man on PA] We will not hurt or harm you.

316
00:28:24,287 --> 00:28:26,915
- [soldier 1] Fire in the hole!
- [soldier 2] Fire in the hole!

317
00:28:29,292 --> 00:28:32,045
[man on PA]
<i>This is an area that is controlled</i>

318
00:28:32,128 --> 00:28:35,340
<i>by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.</i>

<i>- to those of you who would like...</i>
- Come on. Everybody in?

324
00:28:51,064 --> 00:28:54,234
<i>...to return to the arms of
the South Vietnamese government.</i>

325
00:28:54,317 --> 00:28:56,444
[baby wailing]

326
00:28:56,528 --> 00:28:57,779
Hurry up!

327
00:28:58,947 --> 00:29:01,366
[whistles] Move it out!

328
00:29:01,449 --> 00:29:07,872
[man 1] <i>This is an area that is controlled
by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.</i>

329
00:29:07,956 --> 00:29:09,499
Hey! What's this?

330
00:29:10,667 --> 00:29:12,001
What is this?

331
00:29:12,836 --> 00:29:15,088
This man's hurt pretty bad, sir.

332
00:29:15,171 --> 00:29:17,424
About the only thing
that's holding his guts in, sir,

333
00:29:17,507 --> 00:29:19,134
- Is that pot lid.
- Yeah?

334
00:29:19,217 --> 00:29:20,718
What does he have to say?

335
00:29:21,428 --> 00:29:23,555
This soldier is dirty VC.

336
00:29:23,638 --> 00:29:26,933
He wants water. He can drink paddy water.

337
00:29:28,143 --> 00:29:30,645
Get out of here! Give me that canteen.

338
00:29:30,728 --> 00:29:33,690
- He's VC!
- Any man that's brave enough to...

339
00:29:33,773 --> 00:29:36,776
Get out of here!
I'll kick your fucking ass!

340
00:29:36,860 --> 00:29:38,111
He killed a lot of our people!

341
00:29:38,194 --> 00:29:41,030
Any man brave enough to fight
with his guts strapped on him

342
00:29:41,114 --> 00:29:42,949
can drink from my canteen any day!

343
00:29:43,032 --> 00:29:46,828
Hey, Colonel, I think one of those
sailors is Lance Johnson, the surfer.

344
00:29:46,911 --> 00:29:49,706
- Where? Here? You sure?
- Down there.

345
00:29:51,207 --> 00:29:52,625
Yeah? Here.

346
00:29:53,209 --> 00:29:55,962
Repeat, we have a body count. We have...

347
00:29:59,132 --> 00:30:00,967
What's your name, sailor?

348
00:30:01,050 --> 00:30:02,969
Gunner's Mate Third Class L. Johnson, sir!

349
00:30:03,052 --> 00:30:06,389
- Gunner's Mate Third Class...
- Wait. Lance Johnson, the surfer?

350
00:30:06,473 --> 00:30:07,724
Yes, sir.

351
00:30:08,308 --> 00:30:12,228
Well, it's an honor to meet you, Lance.
I've admired your nose riding for years.

352
00:30:12,312 --> 00:30:15,273
I like your cutback, too. I think
you have the best cutback there is.

353
00:30:15,356 --> 00:30:18,067
- Thank you, sir.
- You can cut out the "sir" crap, Lance.

354
00:30:18,151 --> 00:30:20,153
I'm Bill Kilgore. I'm a goofy foot.

355
00:30:20,236 --> 00:30:22,405
- This guy with you?
- Yeah.

356
00:30:22,489 --> 00:30:25,575
I want you to meet some guys.
This is Mike from San Diego.

357
00:30:25,658 --> 00:30:27,285
- Far out.
- Johnny from Malibu.

358
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:29,496
- John, hi. Far out.
- Pretty solid surfers.

359
00:30:29,579 --> 00:30:31,432
None of us are anywhere
near your class, though.

360
00:30:31,456 --> 00:30:32,874
No way.

361
00:30:32,957 --> 00:30:36,794
We do a lot of surfing around here, Lance.
I like to finish operations early,

362
00:30:36,878 --> 00:30:39,923
fly down to Vung Tau
for the evening glass.

363
00:30:40,924 --> 00:30:42,026
[Kilgore] Been riding since you got here?

364
00:30:42,050 --> 00:30:44,135
[Lance] No way.
I haven't surfed since I been here.

365
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:48,890
[chaplain] Through Christ our Lord,
from whom all good things come.

366
00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:51,809
Through him
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

367
00:30:51,893 --> 00:30:55,563
all glory and honor is yours,
Almighty Father. Amen.

368
00:30:55,647 --> 00:30:59,609
Let us pray with confidence to the Father
in the words our savior gave us.

369
00:31:00,151 --> 00:31:04,364
[all] Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.

370
00:31:04,447 --> 00:31:07,033
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done

371
00:31:07,116 --> 00:31:09,202
on Earth as it is in heaven.

372
00:31:09,285 --> 00:31:11,246
Give us this day our daily bread...

373
00:31:11,329 --> 00:31:13,248
[mooing]

374
00:31:13,331 --> 00:31:16,209
...as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

375
00:31:16,292 --> 00:31:19,754
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

376
00:31:23,007 --> 00:31:24,717
[soldiers singing]

377
00:31:29,764 --> 00:31:32,892
[Willard] <i>Kilgore had had
a pretty good day for himself.</i>

378
00:31:32,976 --> 00:31:35,228
<i>They choppered in the T-bones and the beer</i>

379
00:31:35,311 --> 00:31:37,730
<i>and turned the LZ into a beach party.</i>

380
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:41,651
<i>The more they tried to
make it just like home,</i>

381
00:31:41,734 --> 00:31:44,445
<i>the more they made everybody miss it.</i>

382
00:31:44,529 --> 00:31:47,740
Make my meat rare, rare but not cold!

383
00:31:53,538 --> 00:31:56,374
<i>Well, he wasn't a bad officer, I guess.</i>

384
00:31:57,333 --> 00:32:00,920
<i>He loved his boys
and you felt safe with him.</i>

385
00:32:01,004 --> 00:32:04,382
<i>He was one of those guys that
had that weird light around him.</i>

386
00:32:04,465 --> 00:32:07,802
<i>You just knew he wasn't gonna
get so much as a scratch here.</i>

387
00:32:07,885 --> 00:32:09,721
What happened to your mission, Captain?

388
00:32:09,804 --> 00:32:11,484
[laughing] Nha Trang forget all about you?

389
00:32:11,556 --> 00:32:13,016
[men laughing along]

390
00:32:19,897 --> 00:32:22,525
Airborne. [laughs mockingly]

391
00:32:23,192 --> 00:32:26,571
Sir,
two places we can get into the river...

392
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:29,282
- Yeah.
- ...here and here.

393
00:32:29,365 --> 00:32:33,161
It's a pretty wide delta, but these
are the only two spots I'm really sure of.

394
00:32:34,495 --> 00:32:37,415
Well, that village you're
pointing at is kind of hairy, Willard.

395
00:32:37,915 --> 00:32:40,168
- What do you mean "hairy," sir?
- It's hairy,

396
00:32:40,251 --> 00:32:42,003
got some pretty heavy ordnance.

397
00:32:42,086 --> 00:32:45,214
I lost a few recon ships
in there now and again.

398
00:32:45,298 --> 00:32:47,717
What's the name of that goddamn village?
Vin Drin...

399
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,677
- Dop.
- Dop or Lop?

400
00:32:50,428 --> 00:32:52,889
Damn gook names all sound the same.

401
00:32:54,557 --> 00:32:57,894
Mike, you know anything
about this point at Vin Drin Dop?

402
00:32:57,977 --> 00:32:59,479
That's a fantastic peak.

403
00:33:00,271 --> 00:33:02,190
- Peak?
- About six foot.

404
00:33:02,273 --> 00:33:05,485
Yeah, it's an outstanding peak. It's
got both the long right and left slide

405
00:33:05,568 --> 00:33:08,905
with a bowl section. It's unbelievable.
It's just tube city.

406
00:33:13,534 --> 00:33:15,662
Well, why didn't you tell me that before?
A good peak.

407
00:33:15,745 --> 00:33:18,289
There aren't any good peaks
in this whole shitty country.

408
00:33:18,373 --> 00:33:21,250
- It's all goddamn beach break.
- It's really hairy in there, sir.

409
00:33:21,334 --> 00:33:24,253
That's where we lost McDonald.
They shot the hell out of us there.

410
00:33:24,712 --> 00:33:26,589
That's Charlie's point.

411
00:33:27,965 --> 00:33:30,510
Sir, we can go in there tomorrow at dawn.

412
00:33:30,593 --> 00:33:32,845
There's always a good
offshore breeze in the morning.

413
00:33:32,929 --> 00:33:34,889
[Chief] We may not be
able to get the boat in.

414
00:33:34,972 --> 00:33:37,308
The draft at the mouth of
that river may be too shallow.

415
00:33:38,768 --> 00:33:41,747
We'll pick your boat up and put it
down like a baby, right where you want it.

416
00:33:41,771 --> 00:33:45,191
This is the First of the Ninth air cav,
son. Airmobile.

417
00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:46,335
[man mimicking dramatic music]

418
00:33:46,359 --> 00:33:48,420
I can take that point
and hold it just as long as I like.

419
00:33:48,444 --> 00:33:51,614
And you can get any place up that
river that suits you, young Captain.

420
00:33:52,073 --> 00:33:53,449
Hell, a six-foot peak.

421
00:33:53,533 --> 00:33:54,617
[laughing]

422
00:33:55,910 --> 00:33:57,750
All right,
take a gunship back to the division.

423
00:33:57,829 --> 00:33:59,973
Lance, go with Mike
and let him pick out a board for you,

424
00:33:59,997 --> 00:34:01,749
and bring me my Yater Spoon, the 8'6".

425
00:34:01,833 --> 00:34:04,502
- I don't know, sir, it's...
- What is it, soldier?

426
00:34:04,585 --> 00:34:07,255
Well, I mean, it's pretty hairy in there.
It's Charlie's point.

427
00:34:07,338 --> 00:34:09,507
Charlie don't surf!

428
00:34:33,114 --> 00:34:36,576
Hey, Jesus, Clean,
you ain't gonna believe this. Look.

429
00:34:37,785 --> 00:34:40,580
[Clean] Hey, man!
They're picking up the boat!

430
00:34:43,666 --> 00:34:47,503
- How are you feeling, Jimmy?
- Like a mean motherfucker, sir!

431
00:34:49,756 --> 00:34:51,841
All right, son, let her rip.

432
00:34:51,924 --> 00:34:52,925
Let's go!

433
00:34:53,009 --> 00:34:57,597
[bugler playing "Charge"]

434
00:36:16,551 --> 00:36:18,761
[Kilgore] I never have
gotten used to a light board,

435
00:36:19,262 --> 00:36:21,406
and I can't get used to one.
I'm used to a heavy board.

436
00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:23,057
I know, it's a real drag.

437
00:36:23,850 --> 00:36:26,602
- You prefer a heavy or a light board?
- Heavier.

438
00:36:26,686 --> 00:36:27,895
- Really?
- Yeah!

439
00:36:27,979 --> 00:36:30,022
I thought all the young
guys like lighter boards.

440
00:36:30,106 --> 00:36:32,316
You can't ride the nose on those things.

441
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,736
Big Duke Six, this is Eagle Thrust Seven.
We've got it spotted.

442
00:36:35,820 --> 00:36:39,198
Big Duke Six to Eagle Thrust,
put on heading 2-7-0.

443
00:36:39,282 --> 00:36:41,033
Assume attack formation.

444

<i>That's a roger, Big Duke.
Okay, we're going in.</i>

445
00:36:43,786 --> 00:36:47,707
Lance,
we'll come in low out of the rising sun,

446
00:36:47,790 --> 00:36:50,209
and about a mile out,
we'll put on the music.

447
00:36:50,293 --> 00:36:52,753
- Music?
- Yeah, I use Wagner.

448
00:36:52,837 --> 00:36:56,215
Scares the hell out of the slopes.
My boys love it.

449
00:36:56,966 --> 00:36:58,926
[soldier] Hey, they're gonna play music!

450
00:37:05,892 --> 00:37:08,477
How come all you guys sit on your helmet?

451
00:37:09,687 --> 00:37:12,231
So we don't get our balls blown off.

452
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,402
[laughing]

453
00:37:23,492 --> 00:37:28,539
Big Duke Six to Eagle Thrust,
put on psy war op, make it loud.

454
00:37:28,623 --> 00:37:32,084

.50-cal in the open!

471

I've spotted a large weapon down below.
We're gonna go down and check it out.

472
00:40:47,988 --> 00:40:50,199
All right, this is Fox Five.
We're going in.

473
00:41:01,001 --> 00:41:04,338
- All right. What a shot.
- Outstanding, Red Team. Outstanding.

Get you a case of beer for that.

we're over the village right now.

I think I see a vehicle
down in the courtyard.

00:41:32,074 --> 00:41:35,369
- I'm gonna check it out.
- Well done, hawks. Well done.

478
00:41:35,452 --> 00:41:38,747
I want some 20 Mike-Mike
Vulcan right along those tree lines.

Got a vehicle on the bridge,
50 caliber onboard.

I'm coming down myself.

- Stay with me, son, you're gonna be okay.

501
00:43:38,284 --> 00:43:39,410
[screaming in agony]

502
00:43:39,493 --> 00:43:41,304
- Let's give him some morphine.
- My God! My God!

503
00:43:41,328 --> 00:43:45,582
- 0-3-7-7-4-2.
- Where's that duster?

504
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:48,460
I want my wounded out of there
and in the hospital in 15 minutes.

505
00:43:48,544 --> 00:43:50,379
I want my men out.

506
00:43:50,462 --> 00:43:52,232
[pilot 1] <i>Somebody stay in
there tight with Big Duke.</i>

507
00:43:52,256 --> 00:43:56,218
[pilot 2] <i>This is 10-10. We're gonna
be in, throw them on and get out...</i>

508
00:44:13,569 --> 00:44:15,070
[girl clamoring]

509
00:44:18,115 --> 00:44:20,784
She's got a grenade! She's got a grenade!

510
00:44:23,454 --> 00:44:25,664
Jesus! The whole goddamn thing just...

511
00:44:25,748 --> 00:44:27,666
- She blew the shit out of...
- Fucking savages.

512
00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:29,877
[men screaming]

513
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,170
[pilot] Can I get a medevac?

514
00:44:31,253 --> 00:44:32,897
[Kilgore] What's going on...
Holy Christ, she's a sapper.

515
00:44:32,921 --> 00:44:35,358
I'm gonna get that dink bitch.
Get over there, Johnny. Go in there.

516
00:44:35,382 --> 00:44:37,426
Put that right skid right up her ass.

517
00:44:40,179 --> 00:44:43,241
We gotta get some air in these trees.
It's goddamn eat up with enemy down there.

518
00:44:43,265 --> 00:44:45,559
I'm taking fire.
I'm taking hits all over...

519
00:44:45,642 --> 00:44:49,229
Three o'clock! Three o'clock, my position!
Drawing fire, drawing heavy fire!

520
00:44:49,313 --> 00:44:52,441
I'm hit! Mayday! Mayday! I'm going in.
My tail rotor's out. I got control.

521
00:45:01,784 --> 00:45:04,370
- What do you think?
- Wow, this is really exciting, man.

522
00:45:04,453 --> 00:45:07,706
- No, no! The waves! The waves!
- Oh, right.

523
00:45:07,790 --> 00:45:10,709
Look at that, breaks both ways.
Watch. Watch.

524
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,171
[Kilgore] Look! Good six-foot swells!

525
00:45:25,974 --> 00:45:27,684
[Kilgore whistles]

526
00:45:37,361 --> 00:45:38,404
[whistles]

527
00:45:38,487 --> 00:45:40,030
Come here, Lance.

528
00:45:42,950 --> 00:45:44,076
[soldier] Incoming!

529
00:45:48,539 --> 00:45:51,708
This LZ is still pretty hot, sir.
Maybe you ought to surf somewhere else.

530
00:45:51,792 --> 00:45:55,796
What do you know about surfing, Major?
You're from goddamn New Jersey.

531
00:45:57,673 --> 00:45:59,258
[whistles] Come here! Come here!

532
00:46:02,553 --> 00:46:05,097
- Change!
- You mean right now, sir?

533
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:08,058
I wanna see how rideable that stuff is.
Go change.

534
00:46:08,142 --> 00:46:09,768
It's still pretty hairy out there, sir.

535
00:46:09,852 --> 00:46:12,104
- Do you wanna surf, soldier?
- Yes, sir.

536
00:46:12,187 --> 00:46:17,151
That's good, son, 'cause you either
surf or fight. That clear? Now get going.

537
00:46:17,234 --> 00:46:20,362
I'll cover for them.
And bring a board for Lance!

538
00:46:20,946 --> 00:46:24,074
- [whistling insistently]
- We can't do shit till the boat gets here.

539
00:46:24,158 --> 00:46:27,661
Lance,
I'll bet you can't wait to get out there.

540
00:46:27,744 --> 00:46:29,788
- What?
- See how they break both ways?

541
00:46:29,872 --> 00:46:33,750
One guy can break right, one left,
simultaneous. What do you think of that?

542
00:46:33,834 --> 00:46:35,961
We ought to wait for the tide to come up.

543
00:46:36,044 --> 00:46:38,839
- Lance, come here. Look. Look!
- [soldier] Incoming!

544
00:46:41,508 --> 00:46:44,136
The tide doesn't come in for six hours!

545
00:46:46,013 --> 00:46:48,474
You wanna wait here for six hours?

546
00:46:51,810 --> 00:46:53,937
Yo! Hey! Chief!

547
00:47:02,070 --> 00:47:04,948
[Kilgore on megaphone] Okay, fellas,
quit hiding. Come on!

548
00:47:05,032 --> 00:47:08,160
- Let's go, dickheads, take off!
- [soldier] God damn it!

549
00:47:08,243 --> 00:47:10,829
Don't you think
it's a little risky for RandR?

550
00:47:10,913 --> 00:47:15,501
If I say it's safe to surf this beach,
Captain, it's safe to surf this beach!

551
00:47:15,584 --> 00:47:19,922
I mean, I'm not afraid to surf this place!
I'll surf this fucking place.

552
00:47:22,424 --> 00:47:24,426
Give me that RT, soldier.

553
00:47:26,136 --> 00:47:28,347
Dove Four, this is Big Duke Six.

554
00:47:28,430 --> 00:47:31,350
God damn it! I want that tree line bombed!

555
00:47:31,433 --> 00:47:34,228
<i>Big Duke Six, roger.
Dove One-Three, stand by.</i>

556
00:47:34,311 --> 00:47:36,063
[Kilgore]
<i>Blow them into the Stone Age, son!</i>

557
00:47:36,146 --> 00:47:38,649
- [woman shouting in Vietnamese]
- No, back, no!

558
00:47:39,733 --> 00:47:41,933
All right, now. Let me take care of this.
You all right?

559
00:47:41,985 --> 00:47:43,111
Get that out of here!

560
00:47:43,195 --> 00:47:46,365
- I'm sorry.
- Come here now. All right.

561
00:47:46,448 --> 00:47:48,867
- No, ma'am. Sorry!
- Jimmy!

562
00:47:48,951 --> 00:47:50,953
[man on radio] <i>Hawk One-Two,
Dove One-Three, roger.</i>

563
00:47:51,036 --> 00:47:52,597
<i>They need some napalm
down there in the tree line.</i>

564
00:47:52,621 --> 00:47:54,540
<i>Can you guys push
ground and put it down there?</i>

565
00:47:54,623 --> 00:47:57,519
[pilot] <i>Right, One-Three. We're fixing
to fuck with them. What's the target?</i>

566
00:47:57,543 --> 00:48:00,754
[man] <i>We're trying to suppress some
mortar fire off the tree line down there.</i>

567
00:48:00,837 --> 00:48:02,047
[pilot] <i>Roger. Here we come.</i>

568
00:48:02,130 --> 00:48:06,051
[man] <i>Good, give it all you got.
Bring in all your ships.</i>

569
00:48:06,134 --> 00:48:08,679
Medevac him in my chopper.
Get him back to the hospital.

570
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,100
No, no, no, you got to go with him.
Come on! Go! Go!

571
00:48:13,183 --> 00:48:16,812
[whistles] Get it out of here!
And tell my guys I want my board!

572
00:48:16,895 --> 00:48:18,498
[man on radio] Brig Duke Six,
this is Dove One-Three.

573
00:48:18,522 --> 00:48:21,275
The jets are inbound now.
You got about 30 seconds to on-station.

574
00:48:21,358 --> 00:48:24,111
Get your people back and heads down.
This is gonna be a big one.

575
00:48:27,573 --> 00:48:31,577
Don't worry. We'll have this place
cleaned up and ready in a jiffy, son.

576
00:48:31,660 --> 00:48:33,287
Don't you worry.

577
00:48:33,370 --> 00:48:34,997
Give me those shorts.

578
00:48:37,124 --> 00:48:40,752
These are from the air cav,
a present from me and the boys.

579
00:48:40,836 --> 00:48:44,298
I want to see you do your
stuff in them out there. Okay?

580
00:49:07,696 --> 00:49:09,239
You smell that?

581
00:49:09,740 --> 00:49:11,867
- Do you smell that?
- What?

582
00:49:12,659 --> 00:49:14,411
Napalm, son.

583
00:49:14,870 --> 00:49:17,247
Nothing else in the world
smells like that.

584
00:49:17,789 --> 00:49:19,666
[soldier] Come on.
Move it! Move it! Move it!

585
00:49:21,585 --> 00:49:24,171
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

586
00:49:24,755 --> 00:49:27,341
You know, one time we had
a hill bombed for 12 hours.

587
00:49:27,424 --> 00:49:29,801
And when it was all over, I walked up.

588
00:49:31,011 --> 00:49:34,014
We didn't find one of them,
not one stinking dink body.

589
00:49:36,475 --> 00:49:39,311
But the smell, you know,
that gasoline smell...

590
00:49:39,394 --> 00:49:41,063
The whole hill,

591
00:49:42,230 --> 00:49:43,899
it smelled like

592
00:49:46,610 --> 00:49:47,861
victory.

593
00:49:53,241 --> 00:49:55,369
Someday this war's gonna end.

594
00:50:10,217 --> 00:50:12,511
- Lance, the wind!
- Huh?

595
00:50:12,594 --> 00:50:13,929
- The wind!
- What?

596
00:50:14,012 --> 00:50:17,849
It's blowing on shore! It's coming on
shore. It's gonna blow this place out!

597
00:50:17,933 --> 00:50:21,061
- It's gonna ruin it!
- Not cool! It's gonna blow out!

598
00:50:21,144 --> 00:50:23,480
It's the goddamn napalm!
That's what's doing it!

599
00:50:23,563 --> 00:50:26,983
I know. I'm really sorry, Colonel,
but I'm afraid that does it.

600
00:50:27,067 --> 00:50:30,737
The kid's got a reputation. You can't
expect him to surf those sloppy waves.

601
00:50:30,821 --> 00:50:33,407
- I understand what you're saying.
- Yeah, I'm an artist, Bill.

602
00:50:33,490 --> 00:50:36,576
- I couldn't surf that stuff.
- Lance, look.

603
00:50:36,660 --> 00:50:38,537
I apologize. It's not my fault.

604
00:50:38,620 --> 00:50:40,348
The waves are getting
blown out by the napalm.

605
00:50:40,372 --> 00:50:41,432
Hey, Bill, don't get me wrong...

606
00:50:41,456 --> 00:50:43,458
It was the bombs causing
a vortex with the wind.

607
00:50:43,542 --> 00:50:44,918
I accept your apology.

608
00:50:45,001 --> 00:50:47,546
All right, then. But if you
could hang around just 20 minutes...

609
00:50:47,629 --> 00:50:49,549
- Maybe some other time, Bill.
- Just 20 minutes.

610
00:50:50,507 --> 00:50:53,135
- I'm an artist!
- Keep walking.

611
00:50:54,428 --> 00:50:57,889
Okay, give it a try, guys!
One goes left and one goes right.

612
00:50:58,473 --> 00:50:59,975
Look, Lance.

613
00:51:00,058 --> 00:51:01,560
- You through surfing?
- Yeah!

614
00:51:01,643 --> 00:51:03,520
- Want to say goodbye to the Colonel?
- No.

615
00:51:03,603 --> 00:51:04,896
- You sure?
- Yeah!

616
00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:06,440
Let's get the fuck out of here!

617
00:51:06,523 --> 00:51:10,485
It's the fucking napalm!
Just wait 20 minutes!

618
00:51:11,528 --> 00:51:12,946
Damn! Fuck!

619
00:51:13,029 --> 00:51:14,531
They're looking for you!

620
00:51:18,660 --> 00:51:21,037
- Don't leave without me!
- Where the fuck you going?

621
00:51:24,624 --> 00:51:25,876
Incoming!

622
00:51:28,170 --> 00:51:31,381
- The colonel's surfboard!
- Get the fuck off me! It's mine!

623
00:51:32,924 --> 00:51:36,386
- Guys, help!
- Get the board and let's get out of here!

624
00:51:40,974 --> 00:51:42,392
Fucking Airborne!

625

[laughing]

627
00:52:14,216 --> 00:52:16,635
- Lance.
- Chef, light up, man.

628
00:52:16,718 --> 00:52:18,094
Come on. Let's get high.

629
00:52:18,178 --> 00:52:20,138
- Want to smoke?
- Let's do it, man. Light up.

<i>That would be just fine
with the boys on the boat.</i>

632
00:52:26,770 --> 00:52:28,930
<i>They weren't looking
for anything more than a way home.</i>

633

00:52:30,732 --> 00:52:33,360
<i>Trouble is, I'd been back there</i>

635

just didn't exist anymore.</i>

636

Buddha time, here.

637
00:52:43,370 --> 00:52:46,748
All right, that's great,
you motherfuckers. Yeah.

638
00:52:51,753 --> 00:52:54,297
<i>If that's how Kilgore fought the war,</i>

639
00:52:54,381 --> 00:52:57,759
<i>I began to wonder what
they really had against Kurtz.</i>

640
00:52:58,468 --> 00:53:00,929
<i>It wasn't just insanity and murder.</i>

641
00:53:01,429 --> 00:53:04,724
<i>There was enough of that
to go around for everyone.</i>

[Lance] I mean,
he never was hurting for pussy.

646
00:53:17,028 --> 00:53:18,488
[Chef] I'm not here.

647
00:53:19,614 --> 00:53:22,742
I'm walking through the jungle
gathering mangos.

648
00:53:23,660 --> 00:53:25,453
I meet Raquel Welch.

649
00:53:27,956 --> 00:53:30,458
I make a nice mango cream pudding,

650
00:53:34,212 --> 00:53:36,715
kind of spread it around on us.

651
00:53:36,798 --> 00:53:42,846
She's into mangos, too.
She's, like, one limb above me.

652
00:53:43,555 --> 00:53:45,682
We're both in the jungle here, nude.

653
00:53:45,765 --> 00:53:47,392
- Hey, Chief.
- Yeah?

654
00:53:47,475 --> 00:53:49,436
Here comes that Colonel guy again.

<i>Just give me back the board, Lance.</i>

00:54:03,742 --> 00:54:06,620
- [helicopter approaching]
- It was a good board, and I like it.

664

That guy's too fucking much, man.

669
00:54:32,354 --> 00:54:34,773
Do you think he would have shot us?

670
00:54:35,565 --> 00:54:36,751
He wouldn't have shot us on the beach,

671
00:54:36,775 --> 00:54:39,295
but I think he would have shot
us if he saw me taking his board.

[singing "Surfin' Safari"]

673
00:54:42,697 --> 00:54:44,324
Let's get this board out of my turret.

674
00:54:44,407 --> 00:54:46,284
[laughing] Sucker.

675
00:54:48,119 --> 00:54:49,537
[Chef] Sock it to me, Lance.

676
00:54:53,875 --> 00:54:54,918
[distant rumbling]

677
00:54:55,502 --> 00:54:57,104
[Chief] I wonder
if that's the same chopper.

678
00:54:57,128 --> 00:54:59,968
Oh, hell, he's probably got them all
over the river with that recording.

679
00:55:00,674 --> 00:55:02,634
We'll have to hole up here till dark,
Chief.

680
00:55:02,717 --> 00:55:05,011
Don't worry, Lance.
He won't follow us too far.

681
00:55:05,095 --> 00:55:07,931
- What makes you say that?
- You think that big cav colonel

682
00:55:08,014 --> 00:55:10,266
wants everyone upriver
to know we stole his board?

683
00:55:10,350 --> 00:55:11,601
I didn't steal it!

684
00:55:11,685 --> 00:55:12,978
[men laughing]

685
00:55:14,562 --> 00:55:16,189
- [Chief] Captain?
- Mmm?

686
00:55:16,272 --> 00:55:18,400
Just how far up this river we going?

687
00:55:19,693 --> 00:55:21,611
It's classified, Chief. I can't tell you.

688
00:55:24,698 --> 00:55:26,116
We're going up pretty far.

689
00:55:28,743 --> 00:55:30,245
Is it gonna be hairy?

690
00:55:31,788 --> 00:55:32,914
I don't know, kid.

691
00:55:34,082 --> 00:55:35,875
Yeah, probably.

692
00:55:35,959 --> 00:55:39,087
You like it like that, Captain,
when it's hot, hairy?

693
00:55:39,963 --> 00:55:41,089
Fuck.

694
00:55:42,007 --> 00:55:43,258

[distant rumbling]

696
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:55,311
Never get a chance to know what the fuck
you are in some factory in Ohio.

697
00:55:58,732 --> 00:56:01,359
[Chef] Hey, Chief,
I'm gonna go get those mangos now, okay?

698
00:56:01,443 --> 00:56:03,587
- [Chief] Take somebody with you.
- Yeah, I'll take, uh...

699
00:56:03,611 --> 00:56:05,280
I'll go with him.

700
00:56:10,994 --> 00:56:12,454
[Willard] Chef?

701
00:56:12,996 --> 00:56:14,956
- Yes, sir?
- How come they call you that?

702
00:56:15,915 --> 00:56:18,168
- Call me what, sir?
- Chef.

703
00:56:18,251 --> 00:56:21,796
- Because you like mangos and stuff?
- No, sir, I'm a real chef.

704
00:56:22,964 --> 00:56:26,259
- I'm a saucier.
- Saucier?

705
00:56:27,010 --> 00:56:33,141
Yes, sir. See, I come from New Orleans.
I was raised to be a saucier,

706
00:56:33,224 --> 00:56:34,809
a great saucier.

707
00:56:35,435 --> 00:56:38,813
- What's a saucier?
- You specialize in sauces.

708
00:56:42,817 --> 00:56:45,403
Gotta be a mango tree here somewhere.

709
00:56:51,951 --> 00:56:56,414
Then I was supposed to go to Paris,
study at the Escoffier School.

710
00:56:57,624 --> 00:57:00,752
But then I got orders for my physical.

711
00:57:14,015 --> 00:57:17,102
Hell, I joined the Navy.
Heard they had better food.

712
00:57:18,478 --> 00:57:20,480
A cook school, that did it.

713
00:57:21,022 --> 00:57:24,526
- Oh, yeah? How's that?
- You don't want to hear about that.

714
00:57:27,737 --> 00:57:30,907
They lined us up in front
of 100 yards of prime rib.

715
00:57:31,741 --> 00:57:34,285
All of us lined up, looking at it.

716
00:57:35,036 --> 00:57:39,541
Magnificent meat, really.
Beautifully marbled.

717
00:57:40,208 --> 00:57:41,543
Magnifique.

718
00:57:42,085 --> 00:57:45,171
Next thing, they're throwing
the meat into these big cauldrons.

719
00:57:45,797 --> 00:57:47,799
All of it, boiling it.

720
00:57:49,175 --> 00:57:51,970
I looked inside, man. It was turning gray.

721
00:57:53,221 --> 00:57:55,098
I couldn't fucking believe that one.

722
00:57:55,974 --> 00:57:59,185
That's when I applied for radioman school,
but then they gave me the...

723
00:58:41,394 --> 00:58:42,770
[whispering] What is it?

724
00:58:44,898 --> 00:58:46,107
Charlie?

730
00:59:02,123 --> 00:59:04,292

- [indistinct screaming]

732
00:59:05,460 --> 00:59:06,770
[Chief] Battle stations. Lance, up front!

733
00:59:06,794 --> 00:59:08,213
- On the .60, Clean!
- Got it, man.

734
00:59:08,296 --> 00:59:09,422
[Chef] Holy shit.

735
00:59:09,505 --> 00:59:12,967
- [Willard] Chef, come on!
- Fucking tiger!

736
00:59:13,051 --> 00:59:15,178
- Captain, come on!
- What's happening?

737
00:59:16,346 --> 00:59:17,722
- Let's go!
- [Chef] Tiger!

738
00:59:18,473 --> 00:59:20,993
[Chef] Chief, you were right.
Never get out of the fucking boat.

739
00:59:21,059 --> 00:59:24,187
- Bring that .60 forward!
- Never get out of the boat!

740
00:59:24,270 --> 00:59:29,234
Never get out of the boat! I gotta
remember. Never get out of the boat.

741
00:59:31,861 --> 00:59:34,989
- What happened? How many is it?
- A fucking tiger!

742
00:59:35,073 --> 00:59:36,699
- What?
- A fucking tiger!

743
00:59:36,783 --> 00:59:39,494
- Tiger?
- Yes! I've had it!

744
00:59:39,577 --> 00:59:43,081
I've had the whole goddamn fucking shit,
man!

745
00:59:43,164 --> 00:59:47,835
You can kiss my ass on the county square,
because I'm fucking bugging out.

746
00:59:47,919 --> 00:59:52,173
I didn't come here for this.
I don't fucking need it! I don't want it.

747
00:59:52,674 --> 00:59:56,094
I didn't get out of the goddamn
eighth grade for this kind of shit!

748
00:59:57,178 --> 00:59:59,138
All I wanted to do was fucking cook!

749
00:59:59,222 --> 01:00:01,975
I just wanted
to learn to fucking cook, man!

750
01:00:02,058 --> 01:00:05,853
- It's all right. It's all right.
- [Clean] What happened, bro?

751
01:00:05,937 --> 01:00:07,438
[Chef sobbing]

752
01:00:07,897 --> 01:00:09,875
[Lance] You're all right.
You're gonna be all right.

753
01:00:09,899 --> 01:00:12,378
- [Chef] All right. It's all right.
- [Lance] You're all right.

754
01:00:12,402 --> 01:00:15,947
[Chef] It's gonna be all right.
Never get out of the fucking boat.

755
01:00:16,030 --> 01:00:20,910
Never get out of the fucking boat.
Hi, tiger! Bye, tiger! Goodbye!

to understand, the more I admired him.</i>

768

<i>His family and friends
couldn't understand it,</i>

769

770

and he put up with a ton of shit.</i>

771

I'm really sorry about tonight.
It's really bad around here.

You want those? The show, man.
The show out here.

I collected every picture of her

Hey, Clean, look at that.
She was here, man.

894
01:11:51,183 --> 01:11:54,061
I even wrote to the cunt.
She didn't write me back.

- What cat?

He was an Army sergeant.

Remember? This cat, man,
he really dug his Playboy, man.

900

[Clean] Yeah. So anyway,
he was working ARVN patrols, you know,

904
01:12:19,253 --> 01:12:22,798
had one of them cocky gook
asshole lieutenants and shit.

905
01:12:22,881 --> 01:12:26,027
And one day, the gook took his magazine
from him and wouldn't give it back to him.

906
01:12:26,051 --> 01:12:29,263
He said, "Give me my magazine back."
Gook said,

907
01:12:29,346 --> 01:12:32,057
[in Vietnamese accent] "You shut up.
I have you court-martial."

908
01:12:32,766 --> 01:12:34,852
- Typical fucking ARVN.
- Yeah.

909
01:12:34,935 --> 01:12:38,939
- So then the gook starts to go too far.
- Chef, take the wheel.

910
01:12:39,023 --> 01:12:42,484
This dude started to stick
pinholes in the lady's titties.

911
01:12:43,110 --> 01:12:44,153
Take the wheel.

912
01:12:44,862 --> 01:12:46,238
He started sticking pinholes

913
01:12:46,321 --> 01:12:49,116
and mutilating the centerfold
and all kinds of shit like that.

914
01:12:49,199 --> 01:12:52,202
And the sergeant said,
"You better not do that to her.

915
01:12:52,286 --> 01:12:54,621
"You leave your shitty little
gook hands off of that girl.

916

"Don't do her like that," right?

917
01:12:56,331 --> 01:13:00,377
- Gook say, "Fuck you," in Vietnamese.
- Damn.

918
01:13:01,879 --> 01:13:04,465
The sergeant, man,
he just couldn't handle it no more.

919
01:13:04,548 --> 01:13:09,803
He just picked up his iron,
flipped it to rock 'n' roll and...

[imitates salvo firing]

921
01:13:11,055 --> 01:13:14,349
Gave that little zero a long
burst straight through the Playboy mag

01:13:14,433 --> 01:13:17,102
and blew his ass clean off of the dock.

923
01:13:17,186 --> 01:13:21,273
There wasn't no more lieutenant that day.
That was it for his ass.

924
01:13:23,108 --> 01:13:26,945
- They burn him for it?
- The sergeant? Yeah, man.

925
01:13:27,029 --> 01:13:28,989
They stuck his ass in the LBJ.

926
01:13:29,073 --> 01:13:32,159
It's too bad he didn't
get no medals or nothing.

927
01:13:35,579 --> 01:13:38,540
Fucking ARVN, man.
They should have killed the fuck.

928
01:13:40,292 --> 01:13:42,586
Should have given
the fucker a Silver Star.

929
01:13:44,588 --> 01:13:46,340

time to bring him back into the fold.</i>

[General]...methods...

991
01:18:11,229 --> 01:18:14,024
[Willard] <i>And if he'd pulled over,
it all would have been forgotten.</i>

992
01:18:14,107 --> 01:18:15,150
[General]...unsound.

993
01:18:16,109 --> 01:18:17,486
[Willard] <i>But he kept going...</i>

994
01:18:17,569 --> 01:18:19,237
[Lucas] Now he's crossed into Cambodia...

995
01:18:19,321 --> 01:18:20,757
[Willard]...<i>and he
kept winning it his way...</i>

996
01:18:20,781 --> 01:18:22,741
[Lucas]...with this
Montagnard army of his...

997
01:18:22,824 --> 01:18:24,201
[Willard]...<i>and they called me in.</i>

998
01:18:24,284 --> 01:18:29,247
[Lucas]...man like a god. And follow
every order, however ridiculous.

999
01:18:32,292 --> 01:18:33,543
[Willard] <i>They lost him.</i>

1000
01:18:35,420 --> 01:18:36,630
<i>He was gone.</i>

1001
01:18:38,131 --> 01:18:40,842
<i>Nothing but rumors
and random intelligence,</i>

1002
01:18:40,926 --> 01:18:42,719
<i>mostly from captured VC.</i>

1003
01:18:44,805 --> 01:18:48,141
<i>The VC knew his name by now,
and they were scared of him.</i>

1004
01:18:49,309 --> 01:18:52,437
<i>He and his men were playing hit and run,
all the way into Cambodia.</i>

1005
01:18:58,693 --> 01:19:01,405
[Clean] I know where I'm going.
I'm going to the White House

1006
01:19:01,488 --> 01:19:05,826
to have dinner with the
President of the United States, baby.

1007
01:19:05,909 --> 01:19:07,160
That's where I'm going.

1008
01:19:08,286 --> 01:19:10,163
[Chief] Hey, Chef, put the cover on that.

1009
01:19:11,998 --> 01:19:13,166
Clean.

1010
01:19:17,462 --> 01:19:21,216
- How long has that kid been on this boat?
- Seven months.

1011
01:19:22,300 --> 01:19:24,845
He's really
specializing in busting my balls.

1012
01:19:25,679 --> 01:19:28,181
Very possible, Captain,
he thinks the same of you.

1013
01:19:28,723 --> 01:19:32,144
- Oh, yeah? What do you think, Chief?
- [inaudible]

1014
01:19:32,227 --> 01:19:33,770
I don't think.

1015
01:19:34,521 --> 01:19:37,601
My orders say I'm not supposed to know
where I'm taking this boat, so I don't!

1016
01:19:38,608 --> 01:19:41,528
But one look at you, and I know
it's gonna be hot, wherever it is.

1017
01:19:52,706 --> 01:19:56,251
We're going upriver about 75
klicks above the Do Luong bridge.

1018
01:20:00,881 --> 01:20:03,675
- That's Cambodia, Captain.
- That's classified.

1019
01:20:04,926 --> 01:20:07,846
We're not supposed to be in Cambodia,
but that's where I'm going.

1020
01:20:10,390 --> 01:20:14,352
You just get me close to my destination,
and I'll cut you and the crew loose.

1021
01:20:17,230 --> 01:20:18,732
All right, Captain.

You're the only fucking
prick I see around here.

I'll play with my own!

What do you think I said?

[Chief] Lance,
what's with all the green paint?

01:23:20,246 --> 01:23:22,082
- Camouflage.
- How's that?

1064
01:23:22,749 --> 01:23:24,310
So they can't see you.
They're everywhere, Chief.

1065
01:23:24,334 --> 01:23:28,129
Uh-huh. I want you to stay awake up there,
man. You got a job to do.

Sampan off the port bow. Sampan

What's up, Chief?

1071
01:24:04,749 --> 01:24:08,002
A junk boat, Captain.
We're gonna take a routine check.

1072

[Willard] Well,
let's forget routine now and let them go.

1073

These boats are running
supplies in this delta, Captain.

I'm gonna take a look.

Hell, you wouldn't even be in this
part of the river if it wasn't for me.

Until we reach your destination, Captain,
you're just on for the ride.

- [Chief] Keep your eyes open, Clean.

1086
01:25:01,306 --> 01:25:02,682
I got you, Chief.

1087
01:25:06,978 --> 01:25:08,104
It's clear, Chief.

1088
01:25:14,527 --> 01:25:17,739
Okay, that's them.
That's them. They're okay.

1089
01:25:17,822 --> 01:25:19,365
Board and search it.

1090
01:25:20,450 --> 01:25:22,261
It's just a fucking boat.
There ain't nothing on it, Chief.

1091
01:25:22,285 --> 01:25:23,578
Board it and search it.

1092
01:25:23,661 --> 01:25:26,247
[Chef] Just some baskets and some ducks,
fucking bananas.

1093
01:25:26,331 --> 01:25:27,850
[Chef] Ain't nothing on it.
[Chief] Don't be ashamed, Chef.

1094
01:25:27,874 --> 01:25:29,351
What's wrong with you?
Go on and search it.

1095
01:25:29,375 --> 01:25:31,503
There's a goat and some fish.

1096
01:25:32,295 --> 01:25:33,773
- Chef!
- Bunch of fucking vegetables.

1097
01:25:33,797 --> 01:25:36,049
- Get on that boat!
- There's nothing on it, man!

- Get on it!
- All right!

1099

Move it, asshole! God damn it!
Just some pigs.

Look, mangos.

1101
01:25:43,431 --> 01:25:45,433
- [Chief] What's in the rice bag?
- Fucking rice!

1102
01:25:45,517 --> 01:25:48,144
- Look in there, Chef. Look in it.
- [Chef] Some fucking fish.

More coconuts. Rice. Here's rice.

What's in that vegetable basket?

Get out of here! Come on!
Get over there, God damn it.

Not a fucking thing.

- Nothing.

- That rusty can.
- Just fucking rice, that's all!

She was sitting on it. What's in it?

Shoot the shit out of all of them.

It's a fucking puppy.

1129

Give me that dog!

You want that?

1135
01:27:27,660 --> 01:27:29,941
Chef, she's moving behind you.
She's alive. Check her out.

1136

- Yes!

All right. All right.

Come on, Clean, God damn it.
Give me a hand.

1140

She's not dead, she's wounded.
Clean, give him a hand.

1141
01:27:40,673 --> 01:27:44,302
[Chief] Just take it easy. Take it easy.
Slow down and take it easy.

1142
01:27:44,886 --> 01:27:46,947
[Clean] All right, Chef,
just wait a minute. Wait a minute, Chef.

1143
01:27:46,971 --> 01:27:48,490
- [Clean] Bring her up.
- [Chief] Is she breathing, Chef?

1144
01:27:48,514 --> 01:27:52,060
- She's hurt. She's bleeding.
- [Chief] Oh, man.

1145
01:27:52,143 --> 01:27:55,104
Bring her on board.
We're taking her to an ARVN.

1146
01:27:55,188 --> 01:27:56,606
What are you talking about?

1147
01:27:56,689 --> 01:27:58,125
We're taking her to some friendlies,
Captain.

1148
01:27:58,149 --> 01:27:59,651
She's wounded, she's not dead.

1149
01:28:00,151 --> 01:28:01,962
- Get out of there, Chef.
- [Chief] The book says, Captain...

1150
01:28:01,986 --> 01:28:03,279
[gunshot]

1151
01:28:11,913 --> 01:28:13,414
[sobbing]

1152
01:28:13,498 --> 01:28:15,792
Fuck you. Fuck him.

1153
01:28:16,501 --> 01:28:18,341
[quietly] I told you not to stop.
Now let's go.

1154
01:28:40,525 --> 01:28:41,609
[sighs]

1155
01:29:19,397 --> 01:29:22,191
[Willard] <i>It was the way we had
over here of living with ourselves.</i>

1156
01:29:23,568 --> 01:29:26,487
<i>We'd cut them in half with a machine gun
and give them a Band-Aid.</i>

1157
01:29:29,073 --> 01:29:30,575
<i>It was a lie,</i>

1158
01:29:31,409 --> 01:29:33,161
<i>and the more I saw of them,</i>

1159
01:29:34,203 --> 01:29:35,997
<i>the more I hated lies.</i>

1160
01:29:38,416 --> 01:29:42,420
<i>Those boys were never gonna
look at me the same way again.</i>

1161
01:29:43,129 --> 01:29:45,715
<i>But I felt like I knew one
or two things about Kurtz</i>

1162
01:29:45,798 --> 01:29:48,009
<i>that weren't in the dossier.</i>

1163
01:29:53,056 --> 01:29:57,143
<i>Do Luong bridge was the last
Army outpost on the Nung River.</i>

1164
01:30:01,481 --> 01:30:03,816
<i>Beyond that, there was only Kurtz.</i>

1165
01:30:05,943 --> 01:30:09,572
Lance! Hey, Lance, what do you think?

1166
01:30:10,156 --> 01:30:11,199
It's beautiful.

1167
01:30:12,450 --> 01:30:15,787
Huh? I mean, what's the matter with you?
You're acting kind of weird.

1168
01:30:17,038 --> 01:30:19,957
Hey, you know that last
tab of acid I was saving?

1169
01:30:20,041 --> 01:30:22,627
- Yeah.
- I dropped it.

1170
01:30:22,710 --> 01:30:25,463
You dropped acid? Far out.

1171
01:30:25,963 --> 01:30:30,009
[men clamoring]

1172
01:30:34,555 --> 01:30:37,225
[all clamoring]

1173
01:30:37,308 --> 01:30:40,561
- [soldier 1] Take me home!
- [soldier 2] God damn you!

1174
01:30:43,481 --> 01:30:45,608
[clamoring continues]

1175
01:30:50,113 --> 01:30:54,617
[soldier 3] God damn!
You'll get what you deserve!

1176
01:31:02,834 --> 01:31:05,586
[man] Is there a Captain Willard onboard?

1177
01:31:05,670 --> 01:31:07,070
- [Willard] Yeah!
- Captain Willard?

1178
01:31:07,130 --> 01:31:09,966
- Yeah, who's that?
- Lieutenant Carlsen, sir.

1179
01:31:10,049 --> 01:31:11,259
Get that light off me.

1180
01:31:13,261 --> 01:31:16,097
I was sent here from Nha Trang
with these three days ago, sir.

1181
01:31:16,180 --> 01:31:19,350
Expected you here a little sooner.
This is mail for the boat.

1182
01:31:19,809 --> 01:31:21,602
You don't know how happy this makes me,
sir.

1183
01:31:21,686 --> 01:31:23,354
- Why?
- Now I can get out of here,

1184
01:31:23,437 --> 01:31:24,772
if I can find a way.

1185
01:31:24,856 --> 01:31:27,024
[artillery shell whistling]

1186
01:31:29,026 --> 01:31:31,737
[Carlsen] You're in the asshole
of the world, Captain!

1187
01:31:36,492 --> 01:31:38,286
Captain, where you going?

1188
01:31:38,369 --> 01:31:41,038
See if I can find some fuel,
get some information.

1189
01:31:42,540 --> 01:31:46,460
- Pick me up the other side of the bridge.
- Somebody go with him. Chef!

1190
01:31:46,544 --> 01:31:49,380
[Lance] I'll go. I wanna go.

1191
01:31:53,384 --> 01:31:55,595
[men continue clamoring]

1192
01:32:04,187 --> 01:32:05,938
[man on PA] You get your ass in gear.

1193
01:32:07,982 --> 01:32:10,985
[man on PA continues chattering]

1194
01:32:33,674 --> 01:32:35,092
[man screaming]

1195
01:32:41,599 --> 01:32:44,852
[soldier 1] Come on, man.
Listen to the music, man.

1196
01:32:45,311 --> 01:32:46,729
[Willard] Where can I find the CO?

1197
01:32:46,812 --> 01:32:49,190
[soldier 2] You came right to it,
son of a bitch!

1198
01:32:49,273 --> 01:32:52,610
[Willard] Lance! Get down here!

1199
01:32:55,571 --> 01:32:58,324
- You still got a Commanding Officer here?
- [soldier exclaims]

1200
01:32:58,407 --> 01:33:01,118
- Beverly Hills.
- What?

1201
01:33:01,202 --> 01:33:05,998
Straight up the road, there's a concrete
fucking bunker called Beverly Hills.

1202
01:33:06,082 --> 01:33:08,668
Where the fuck else do
you think it would be?

1203
01:33:11,420 --> 01:33:14,215
[soldier exclaiming]

1204
01:33:14,298 --> 01:33:16,026
- [machine guns firing]
- [distant explosions]

1205
01:33:16,050 --> 01:33:18,511
[electric guitar playing on radio]

1206
01:33:22,765 --> 01:33:23,933

1207
01:33:30,523 --> 01:33:31,816

[explosion]

1210
01:33:43,828 --> 01:33:45,621
[Clean] God damn it,
you stepped in my face!

1211
01:33:45,705 --> 01:33:48,185
- We thought you were dead.
- Well, you thought wrong, damn it.

1212
01:33:49,917 --> 01:33:52,420
[machine gun firing]

1213
01:33:52,503 --> 01:33:54,588
I told you to stop fucking with me,
didn't 1?

1214
01:33:54,672 --> 01:33:56,465
You think you're so bad, huh, nigga?

1215
01:33:57,008 --> 01:33:58,384
What are you shooting at, soldier?

1216
01:33:58,467 --> 01:34:01,012
Gooks.
What the fuck you think I'm shooting at?

1217
01:34:01,637 --> 01:34:03,848
I'm sorry, sir.
There are gooks out there by the wire,

1218
01:34:03,931 --> 01:34:07,685
- but I think I killed them all.
- You ain't shot shit, man. Listen!

1219
01:34:07,768 --> 01:34:09,186
[man shouting indistinctly]

1220
01:34:09,270 --> 01:34:12,523
Oh, shit, he's trying to call his friends,
man. Send up a flare.

1221
01:34:18,321 --> 01:34:20,364
[machine gun firing]

1222
01:34:20,990 --> 01:34:23,326
You think you're so bad, nigga?
You think you bad, huh?

1223
01:34:23,409 --> 01:34:27,204
They're all dead, stupid. There's
one still alive underneath them bodies.

1224
01:34:27,705 --> 01:34:30,291
Who's the Commanding Officer here?

1225
01:34:30,374 --> 01:34:31,709
[panicked] Ain't you?

1226
01:34:33,878 --> 01:34:35,171
You think you're so bad, huh?

1227
01:34:35,254 --> 01:34:37,814
- [machine gun firing]
- I got something for your ass now, nigga!

1228
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:39,884
I got something for you now!
[laughing maniacally]

1229
01:34:41,844 --> 01:34:43,554
He's underneath the bodies, man.

1230
01:34:45,306 --> 01:34:47,868
- [soldier 2] Go get the roach, man.
- [soldier 3] Go get the roach, man.

1231
01:34:47,892 --> 01:34:51,354
- Go get the roach, nigga!
- I'm gonna go get the roach.

1232
01:34:55,691 --> 01:34:59,278
Roach. Roach. Roach.

1233
01:35:00,071 --> 01:35:02,782
[Lance] Got slopes on the wire, man.
Do you hear them?

1234
01:35:02,865 --> 01:35:04,867
- Lance!
- Do you hear them?

1235
01:35:10,081 --> 01:35:11,540
Go bust them!

1236
01:35:14,460 --> 01:35:17,421
[Vietnamese soldier] Hey, GI, fuck you!

1237
01:35:18,422 --> 01:35:20,966
[electric guitar wailing on radio]

1238
01:35:21,050 --> 01:35:22,093
[radio turns off]

1239
01:35:22,176 --> 01:35:25,054
[Vietnamese soldier continues taunting]

1240
01:35:26,847 --> 01:35:29,100
You hear him out there on the wire, man?

1241
01:35:29,934 --> 01:35:33,229
- Yeah.
- [Vietnamese soldier] I'll kill you, GI!

1242
01:35:33,312 --> 01:35:34,397
You need a flare?

1243
01:35:36,399 --> 01:35:37,650
No.

1244
01:35:39,026 --> 01:35:40,861
He's close, man.

1245
01:35:41,570 --> 01:35:43,447
He's real close.

1246
01:36:05,302 --> 01:36:07,638
[Vietnamese soldier] GI, fuck you!

1247
01:36:10,808 --> 01:36:12,101
GI, fuck you!

1248
01:36:12,184 --> 01:36:13,519
[explosion]

1249
01:36:17,898 --> 01:36:19,358
Motherfucker.

1250
01:36:20,484 --> 01:36:22,403
[Willard] Hey, soldier,

1251
01:36:26,365 --> 01:36:28,325
do you know who's in command here?

1252
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:32,204
Yeah.

1253
01:36:43,174 --> 01:36:44,216
[explosion]

1254
01:36:44,300 --> 01:36:45,676
[screaming]

1255
01:36:46,594 --> 01:36:48,596
Holy shit!

1256
01:36:53,350 --> 01:36:56,645
Yo, Chief, man,
two guys just got blown off that bridge.

1257
01:36:56,729 --> 01:36:59,273
You hang on, man. You're gonna be okay.

1258
01:37:03,527 --> 01:37:05,362
- What's that?
- Mail, man.

1259
01:37:05,446 --> 01:37:07,698
Later on the mail! Watch them trees.

1260
01:37:10,451 --> 01:37:13,037
[Willard] There's no diesel fuel,
but I picked up some ammo.

1261
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:14,705
Let's move out.

1262
01:37:14,788 --> 01:37:19,335
- Did you find the CO, Captain?
- There's no fucking CO here.

1263
01:37:20,836 --> 01:37:24,507
- Let's just get going.
- Which way, Captain?

1264
01:37:30,596 --> 01:37:32,598
You know which way, Chief.

1265
01:37:33,390 --> 01:37:35,184
You're on your own, Captain.

1266
01:37:36,602 --> 01:37:37,895
Do you wanna go on?

1267
01:37:38,395 --> 01:37:42,608
Like this bridge, we build it every night,
Charlie blows it right back up again

1268
01:37:42,691 --> 01:37:45,361
just so the generals
can say the road's open.

1269
01:37:45,903 --> 01:37:47,404
Think about it.

1270
01:37:50,491 --> 01:37:52,910
- Who cares?
- Just get us upriver!

1271
01:37:57,414 --> 01:37:59,792
Chef, on the bow.

1272
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:02,836
- Stand by, Clean.
- [Lance] Let's go.

1273
01:38:59,602 --> 01:39:01,228
[Clean] Whose package is that?

1274
01:39:01,312 --> 01:39:05,733
- Shit, you got another one, Clean.
- No shit. Wait a minute, is that it?

1275
01:39:05,816 --> 01:39:07,693
- That's it for you.
- Lance!

1276
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:10,654
Mr. L.B. Johnson, there you go.

1277
01:39:12,197 --> 01:39:15,159
Far out, man. All right.
I've been waiting for this one.

1278
01:39:15,242 --> 01:39:18,704
[Chef] I got another one,
got a box from Eva.

1279
01:39:18,787 --> 01:39:21,624
[Lance] "Lance, I'm fine. I'm fine, Lance.

1280

"Sue and I went tripping to Disneyland.
Sue skinned her knee."

1281
01:39:25,419 --> 01:39:28,672
- [Chef] I want to get back to Antoine's.
- "I remember the time we went..."

1282
01:39:28,756 --> 01:39:31,342
[Chef] How could I fucking forget, man?
Beautiful.

"There could never be a place
like Disneyland, or could there?

"Let me know."

01:39:36,388 --> 01:39:39,850
Jim, it's here. It really is here.

<i>I'm so glad you decided to join...</i>

1310
01:40:57,886 --> 01:41:00,848
[Chef] Eva's not sure if she can
have a relationship with me, you know?

1311
01:41:01,807 --> 01:41:04,643
Here I am, 13,000 fucking miles away,

1312
01:41:04,727 --> 01:41:07,438
trying to keep a relationship open,
my ass.

1313
01:41:08,063 --> 01:41:11,483
[Clean's mom] <i>That's much more
than I can say for some of your friends.</i>

1314
01:41:11,567 --> 01:41:15,070
<i>If this tape is any good,
I will have Dad and the family</i>

1315
01:41:15,154 --> 01:41:18,115

[screaming]

1320
01:41:53,609 --> 01:41:55,068
[Chief] There! Over there!

1321
01:41:58,697 --> 01:42:00,991
Lance! Chef!

1322
01:42:04,244 --> 01:42:09,208
- Chef, Chef, check out Clean!
- Captain, he's hit, he's hit! Clean's hit!

1323
01:42:09,666 --> 01:42:11,418
- [Chief] Lance!
- Where'd the dog go?

1324
01:42:11,502 --> 01:42:14,338
[Chief] Lance. Lance, check out Clean!

1325
01:42:14,797 --> 01:42:17,800
Where's the dog?
We got to go back to get the dog!

1326
01:42:17,883 --> 01:42:19,092

[Clean's mom]
<i>It's always been nice to have...</i>

1328
01:42:21,553 --> 01:42:23,931
Hey, Bubba!

1329
01:42:24,014 --> 01:42:26,391
Bubba, you can't die, you fucker!

1330
01:42:28,268 --> 01:42:30,938
<i>- And so, I'm hoping...</i>
- Bubba!

1331
01:42:31,021 --> 01:42:36,276
<i>...that pretty soon, not too soon,
but pretty soon,</i>

1332
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:40,072
<i>I'll have a lot of grandchildren
to love and spoil,</i>

1333
01:42:40,656 --> 01:42:43,784

she'll be mad with me.</i>

1334
01:42:43,867 --> 01:42:45,285
<i>Ha, ha, ha.</i>

1335
01:42:46,036 --> 01:42:51,333

come to celebrate your coming home.</i>

<i>Granny and Dad are trying to
get enough money to get you a car.</i>

1337
01:42:55,462 --> 01:42:59,007
<i>But don't tell her,
because that's our secret.</i>

1338
01:43:00,384 --> 01:43:05,180
<i>Anyhow, do the right thing,
stay out of the way of the bullets,</i>

1339
01:43:05,722 --> 01:43:09,685
<i>and bring your heinie
home all in one piece</i>

1340
01:43:09,768 --> 01:43:13,939

[tape stops]

1342
01:43:22,364 --> 01:43:26,743
[Chief] Oh, man. You're so young.

[sobbing]

1344
01:43:33,375 --> 01:43:35,043
Clean.

1345
01:44:47,908 --> 01:44:49,117
Hold on.

1346
01:44:51,954 --> 01:44:53,747
Throw me the glasses.

1347
01:45:06,051 --> 01:45:09,012
Lance, take the .16 on the bow.

1348
01:45:11,431 --> 01:45:14,685
Chef, Chef, on the .60.

1349
01:45:37,374 --> 01:45:38,750
Fuck me.

They're French! They're French!

[shouting in French]

1356
01:46:41,188 --> 01:46:44,399
Chef, pick up that weapon!
Pick it up! Pick it up!

1357
01:46:44,483 --> 01:46:46,443
Stand fast! Captain...

01:47:21,728 --> 01:47:23,855
All right, you men, put down your weapons.

1361
01:47:34,324 --> 01:47:37,285
[speaking reassuringly in French]

1362
01:47:54,761 --> 01:47:56,596
We lost one of our men.

1363
01:47:59,891 --> 01:48:03,770
We French always pay
respects to the dead of our allies.

1364
01:48:06,606 --> 01:48:08,400
You are all welcome.

1365
01:48:11,153 --> 01:48:13,280
My name is Hubert de Marais.

1366
01:48:14,781 --> 01:48:17,033
This is my family's plantation.

1367
01:48:17,951 --> 01:48:20,120
It has been such for 70 years.

1368
01:48:22,122 --> 01:48:24,875
And it will be such until we are all dead.

1369
01:48:29,713 --> 01:48:31,548
[man shouting in French]

1370
01:49:10,587 --> 01:49:13,965
[bugle playing mournful melody]

1371
01:50:37,007 --> 01:50:42,470
Captain, accept the flag of Tyrone
Miller on behalf of a grateful nation.

1372
01:51:02,824 --> 01:51:07,370
This food is really wonderful, isn't it?
The wine, the sauces. I can't believe it.

1373
01:51:07,454 --> 01:51:09,539
Can I speak with the chef?

1374
01:51:09,622 --> 01:51:11,833
The chef speaks only Vietnamese.

1375
01:51:11,916 --> 01:51:15,879
No kidding. He cooks like this
and he can't even speak French?

1376
01:51:15,962 --> 01:51:18,631
Hey, Lance, the chef's a slope.

1377
01:51:20,967 --> 01:51:22,719
[Chief] Hey, Lance.

1378
01:51:22,802 --> 01:51:26,348
[boy reciting in French]

[both repeat correctly]

1381

[speaking French]

1382
01:51:51,247 --> 01:51:52,874
[de Marais] This is Baudelaire.

1383
01:51:52,957 --> 01:51:56,044
It's a very cruel poem for children,
but they need it,

1384
01:51:56,127 --> 01:51:58,797
because life sometimes is very cruel.

1385
01:52:00,632 --> 01:52:02,258
As you can see...

1386
01:52:05,595 --> 01:52:09,432
- Attacks repelled by the family.
- Just for this war.

1387
01:52:09,933 --> 01:52:12,602
Viet Cong, 58.

1388
01:52:12,685 --> 01:52:14,521
North Vietnamese, 12.

1389
01:52:15,230 --> 01:52:17,107
South Vietnamese, 11.

1390
01:52:18,024 --> 01:52:19,818
Americans, six.

1391
01:52:21,361 --> 01:52:24,197
Yes, well, they were perhaps mistakes.

1392
01:52:25,198 --> 01:52:26,366
[speaks French]

1393
01:52:39,671 --> 01:52:43,341

[speaking French]

1395
01:52:45,385 --> 01:52:48,304
May I present Captain Willard?
He's of a paratroop regiment.

1396
01:52:48,888 --> 01:52:51,057
- Madame Sarrault.
- Captain.

1397
01:53:05,238 --> 01:53:07,574
[both speaking French]

1398
01:53:07,657 --> 01:53:08,825
[laughing]

1399
01:53:18,751 --> 01:53:21,671
I'm sorry, Captain.
Was just a little story about Paris

1400
01:53:21,754 --> 01:53:23,065
and people starving during the war.

1401
01:53:23,089 --> 01:53:25,175
They are around the table
and there was a silence.

1402
01:53:25,258 --> 01:53:28,052
Somebody says, "An angel is passing by."

1403
01:53:28,136 --> 01:53:31,055
So somebody said, "Let's eat it."

1404
01:53:31,139 --> 01:53:32,640
- [laughing]
- Oh.

1405
01:53:38,938 --> 01:53:42,525
How long can you possibly stay here?

1406
01:53:42,609 --> 01:53:44,152
We stay forever.

1407
01:53:44,903 --> 01:53:46,654
No, no, I mean,

1408
01:53:48,323 --> 01:53:50,492
when will you go back home to France?

1409
01:53:50,575 --> 01:53:52,535
[chuckling]

1410
01:53:53,578 --> 01:53:55,330
I mean, this is our home, Captain.

1411
01:53:55,872 --> 01:53:57,457
- Sooner or later you're gonna...
- No!

1412
01:53:57,540 --> 01:53:59,477
- [speaking soothingly in French]
- [shouts in French]

1413
01:53:59,501 --> 01:54:03,171
You don't understand our mentality,
the French Officer mentality.

1414
01:54:04,130 --> 01:54:06,424
At first, we lose in Second World War.

1415
01:54:06,508 --> 01:54:09,594
I don't say that you Americans win,
but we lose.

1416
01:54:09,677 --> 01:54:11,780
- [muttering in French]
- [responds angrily in French]

1417
01:54:11,804 --> 01:54:14,682
In Dien Bien Phu, we lose.
In Nigeria, we lose.

1418
01:54:14,766 --> 01:54:16,559
In Indochina, we lose.

1419
01:54:17,227 --> 01:54:19,687
But here, we don't lose.

1420
01:54:20,355 --> 01:54:25,443
This piece of earth, we keep it!
We will never lose that, never!

1421
01:54:29,531 --> 01:54:32,951
The Vietnamese are very intelligent.
You never know what they think.

1422
01:54:33,034 --> 01:54:35,328
The Russians want to help them.

1423
01:54:35,411 --> 01:54:38,289
"Come and give us some money.
We are all communists.

1424
01:54:38,373 --> 01:54:40,667
"Chinese, give us guns.
We are all brothers."

1425
01:54:40,750 --> 01:54:42,210
They hate the Chinese.

1426
01:54:43,086 --> 01:54:47,549
Maybe they hate Americans less
than the Russians and the Chinese.

1427
01:54:47,632 --> 01:54:49,401
I mean, if tomorrow
the Vietnamese are communists,

1428
01:54:49,425 --> 01:54:51,678
they will be Vietnamese communists.

1429
01:54:52,303 --> 01:54:55,014
And this is something that you
never understood, you Americans.

1430
01:54:55,723 --> 01:55:00,728
I don't know. Maybe in the future we
can make something with the Viet Minh.

1431
01:55:00,812 --> 01:55:02,647
Don't you understand?

1432
01:55:02,730 --> 01:55:05,483
The VC say, "Go away! Go away'!"

1433
01:55:05,567 --> 01:55:08,278
That's finished
for all the white people in Indochina.

1434
01:55:08,361 --> 01:55:11,656
If you're French, American,
that's all the same.

1435
01:55:11,739 --> 01:55:14,367
Go! They want to forget you.

1436
01:55:14,450 --> 01:55:15,493
Look at them.

1437
01:55:15,577 --> 01:55:17,453
[both arguing in French]

1438
01:55:17,537 --> 01:55:20,290
Look, this is the truth. An egg.

1439
01:55:23,459 --> 01:55:25,003
The white left.

1440
01:55:26,504 --> 01:55:28,381
The yellow stay.

[imploring in French]

1442
01:55:33,678 --> 01:55:34,887
[grumbling in French]

1443
01:55:34,971 --> 01:55:39,559
- [musician] All you white people are shit.
- They are fighting. Fighting for freedom.

1444
01:55:39,642 --> 01:55:42,061
[musician] Freedom? Bullshit.

1445
01:55:42,145 --> 01:55:47,775
Dien Bien Phu is a trap.
All soldiers know they are already dead.

1446
01:55:49,819 --> 01:55:51,738
You know anything about Dien Bien Phu?

1447
01:55:54,866 --> 01:55:57,702
- Yeah, I know.
- No, you don't,

1448
01:55:57,785 --> 01:55:58,828
not really.

1449
01:55:58,911 --> 01:56:01,956
Dien Bien Phu was an error, you know?
A military mistake.

1450
01:56:02,040 --> 01:56:05,835
A mistake? A voluntary mistake! Voluntary!

1451
01:56:05,918 --> 01:56:06,919
[playing lively music]

1452
01:56:07,003 --> 01:56:12,383
Our paratroopers jump at 90 meters.
I mean, you know, 90 meters, 70 meters.

1453
01:56:12,467 --> 01:56:15,637
I mean, that's crazy.
No army in the world can do that.

1454
01:56:16,220 --> 01:56:19,307
And they only do that
to be dead with their friends.

1455
01:56:19,390 --> 01:56:21,684
The French army was sacrificed,

1456
01:56:21,768 --> 01:56:24,479
sacrificed by the politicians
safe at home.

1457
01:56:24,562 --> 01:56:27,207
They put the army in an impossible
situation where they couldn't win.

1458
01:56:27,231 --> 01:56:28,399
[muttering in French]

1459
01:56:28,483 --> 01:56:31,986
The students are marching in Paris,
protesting, demonstrating.

1460
01:56:32,070 --> 01:56:34,322
They stab the soldiers in the back.

1461
01:56:34,405 --> 01:56:38,493
The soldier would open the grenade,
it wouldn't work.

1462
01:56:38,576 --> 01:56:40,370
A piece of paper would fall.

1463

Traitors.

1467
01:56:48,002 --> 01:56:50,129
Communist traitors at home.

1468
01:56:51,547 --> 01:56:56,010
Dien Bien Phu... Okay, the French is shit.

1469
01:56:58,137 --> 01:57:00,390
No one cares. No one wants to.

1470

[shouting in French]

1471
01:57:03,059 --> 01:57:06,062
Why don't you Americans learn from us?
From our mistakes?

1472
01:57:07,355 --> 01:57:09,395
Mon dieu, with your army, your strength,
your power,

1473
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:11,043
- you can win if you want to.
- [thudding]

[speaking French]

1475
01:57:13,695 --> 01:57:15,113
You can win.

1476
01:57:18,324 --> 01:57:21,536
You know,
I'm sure we can make something there.

1477
01:57:22,286 --> 01:57:23,871
I'm sure about it, you know?

1478
01:57:24,414 --> 01:57:26,958
I never do something
wrong to the people here.

1479
01:57:27,542 --> 01:57:30,396
I'm sorry, you know, but the communists
at home have never been traitors.

1480
01:57:30,420 --> 01:57:31,879
[disagreeing in French]

1481
01:57:32,463 --> 01:57:37,885
[arguing in French]

1482
01:58:01,075 --> 01:58:02,410
[bids good night in French]

1483
01:58:04,912 --> 01:58:08,499
Excuse me. I have to go.
Captain, good night.

1484
01:58:08,583 --> 01:58:11,169
- I was a socialist, you know?
- I know we can stay.

1485
01:58:11,252 --> 01:58:14,505
I know that we can stay. We can stay.

1486
01:58:14,589 --> 01:58:17,884
[both speaking French]

1487
01:58:17,967 --> 01:58:21,345
You know, we always help the people.

1488
01:58:21,429 --> 01:58:23,598
- We work with the people.
- [speaking in French]

1489
01:58:37,653 --> 01:58:41,324
So when you ask me why we
want to stay here, Captain,

1490
01:58:42,909 --> 01:58:46,871
we want to stay here because it's ours.
It belongs to us.

1491
01:58:47,580 --> 01:58:49,248
It keeps our family together.

1492
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,002
I mean, we fight for that.

1493
01:58:54,921 --> 01:58:56,714
While you Americans,

1494
01:58:57,632 --> 01:59:02,512
you are fighting
for the biggest nothing in history.

1495
01:59:06,474 --> 01:59:07,642
[sighs]

1496
01:59:12,188 --> 01:59:13,773
[bids good night in French]

1497
01:59:36,796 --> 01:59:39,465
I apologize for my family, Captain.

1498
01:59:41,509 --> 01:59:43,636
We have all lost much here.

1499
01:59:45,012 --> 01:59:48,140
Hubert, his wife and two sons.

1500
01:59:52,687 --> 01:59:54,856
And I have lost a husband.

1501
02:00:00,444 --> 02:00:04,240
- I understand.
- You are tired of the war.

1502
02:00:06,325 --> 02:00:08,452
I can see on your face.

1503
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:15,209
It was the same in the eyes
of the soldiers of our war.

1504
02:00:16,419 --> 02:00:18,921
We call them... [speaking French]

1505
02:00:20,590 --> 02:00:22,383
[translating] "The lost soldiers."

1506
02:00:27,263 --> 02:00:29,807
If you like, we can have some cognac.

1507
02:00:34,562 --> 02:00:35,813
No.

1508
02:00:36,606 --> 02:00:39,567
[hesitantly] I'll see about my men and...

1509
02:00:47,366 --> 02:00:49,952
The war will be still here tomorrow.

1510
02:01:00,713 --> 02:01:02,757
Yeah, I guess you're right.

1511
02:01:10,765 --> 02:01:13,434
I noticed you had no wine at dinner.

1512
02:01:14,685 --> 02:01:17,355
No, I don't drink wine.

1513
02:01:18,356 --> 02:01:19,357
[cork popping]

1514
02:01:20,775 --> 02:01:25,279
I do like cognac,
but I don't want any now, thank you.

1515
02:01:26,197 --> 02:01:27,406
Well,

1516
02:01:28,908 --> 02:01:31,661
then I must drink alone.

1517
02:01:41,963 --> 02:01:45,341
Will you go back, after the war,
to America?

1518
02:01:48,594 --> 02:01:49,595
[sighs]

1519
02:01:49,679 --> 02:01:50,888
No.

1520
02:01:50,972 --> 02:01:54,225
Then you're like us. Your home is here.

1521
02:02:11,826 --> 02:02:15,746
Do you know why you can never
step into the same river twice?

1522
02:02:22,586 --> 02:02:25,715
I used to prepare a pipe for my husband.

1523
02:02:33,014 --> 02:02:37,309
It was the morphine he took
for the wounds he suffered in his heart.

1524
02:02:40,980 --> 02:02:44,608
He would rage and he would cry,
my lost soldier.

1525
02:02:48,362 --> 02:02:50,031
And I said to him,

1526
02:02:50,781 --> 02:02:54,160
"There are two of you, don't you see?

1527
02:02:55,244 --> 02:02:58,873
"One that kills and one that loves."

1528
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:02,668
And he said to me,

1529
02:03:03,544 --> 02:03:07,173
"I don't know whether
I am an animal or a god."

1530
02:03:10,634 --> 02:03:12,261
But you are both.

1531
02:03:20,811 --> 02:03:23,230
[inhaling gently]

1532
02:03:54,136 --> 02:03:55,888
You want more?

1533
02:04:01,602 --> 02:04:05,731
All that matters is that you are alive.

1534
02:04:07,108 --> 02:04:09,026
You are alive, Captain.

1535
02:04:13,322 --> 02:04:14,949
That's the truth.

1536
02:05:28,856 --> 02:05:32,359
There are two of you, don't you see?

1537
02:05:33,694 --> 02:05:35,196
One that kills

1538
02:05:36,488 --> 02:05:37,907
and one that loves.

1539
02:05:56,592 --> 02:06:00,054
[indistinct shouting]

1540
02:06:07,228 --> 02:06:09,772
[Chief] Can't see nothing. We're stopping.

1541
02:06:10,272 --> 02:06:12,650
[Willard] You're not
authorized to stop this boat, Chief.

1542
02:06:12,733 --> 02:06:16,237
[firmly] I said I can't see a thing,
Captain. I'm stopping this boat.

1543
02:06:16,320 --> 02:06:17,905
I ain't risking no more lives.

1544
02:06:17,988 --> 02:06:20,908
[Willard] I'm in command here,
God damn it. You'll do what I say.

1545
02:06:20,991 --> 02:06:24,745
- [Lance screaming]
- You see anything, Chef?

1546
02:06:27,248 --> 02:06:29,792
Why don't they fucking attack, man?

1547
02:06:29,875 --> 02:06:35,547
[screaming louder]

1548
02:06:48,811 --> 02:06:50,938
[Lance] Watch it over here, Chief.

1549
02:06:52,064 --> 02:06:53,857
Got a stump.

1550
02:06:55,734 --> 02:06:57,236
Lance, on the .50s.

1551
02:06:58,320 --> 02:07:00,114
[Willard] <i>He was close.</i>

1552
02:07:02,157 --> 02:07:03,826
<i>He was real close.</i>

1553
02:07:06,120 --> 02:07:08,414
<i>I couldn't see him yet,
but I could feel him,</i>

1554
02:07:09,039 --> 02:07:11,000
<i>as if the boat were being sucked upriver</i>

1555
02:07:11,083 --> 02:07:13,961
<i>and the water was
flowing back into the jungle.</i>

1556
02:07:16,505 --> 02:07:18,924
<i>Whatever was going to happen,</i>

1557
02:07:19,008 --> 02:07:22,970
<i>it wasn't gonna be the way
they called it back in Nha Trang.</i>

1558
02:07:26,557 --> 02:07:29,101
- [whooshing]
- [Chief] Arrows!

1559
02:07:29,184 --> 02:07:30,185
Fire!

1560
02:07:32,354 --> 02:07:34,356
Chef, open up! Fire!

1561
02:07:38,694 --> 02:07:40,654
Lance, fire!

1562
02:07:48,454 --> 02:07:53,500
Chef! Chef, it's okay. Quit firing.
They're just little toy arrows.

1563
02:07:54,168 --> 02:07:56,253
Cut it out! Quiet!

1564
02:07:56,337 --> 02:07:58,922
Chief, tell them to hold their fire!

1565
02:07:59,006 --> 02:08:01,925
They're just little sticks.
They're just trying to scare us.

1566
02:08:02,009 --> 02:08:03,093
Quiet!

1567
02:08:04,136 --> 02:08:06,930
You got us in this mess,
and now you can't get us out

1568
02:08:07,014 --> 02:08:09,334
because you don't know where
the hell you're going, do you?

1569
02:08:09,516 --> 02:08:10,684
Do you?

1570
02:08:11,685 --> 02:08:14,563
You son of a bitch! You bastard!

1571
02:08:16,190 --> 02:08:18,525
- Lance, get the wheel!
- Fire!

1572
02:08:19,193 --> 02:08:22,738
You savages!
Come and get it, you son of a bitches!

1573
02:08:43,217 --> 02:08:44,885
[whispering] A spear.

1574
02:09:11,620 --> 02:09:13,205
[both grunting]

1575
02:09:15,457 --> 02:09:19,503
[Chief gasping]

1576
02:09:21,547 --> 02:09:22,548
[exhales]

1577
02:09:24,133 --> 02:09:25,300
[Willard exhales]

1578
02:10:04,339 --> 02:10:07,176
[Willard] My mission
is to make it up into Cambodia.

1579
02:10:07,801 --> 02:10:10,262
There's a Green Beret
colonel up there who's gone insane

1580
02:10:10,345 --> 02:10:12,347
and I'm supposed to kill him.

1581
02:10:13,640 --> 02:10:16,602
That's fucking typical! Shit!

1582
02:10:16,685 --> 02:10:18,896
Fucking Vietnam mission!

1583
02:10:18,979 --> 02:10:22,733
I'm short and we gotta go up there
so you can kill one of our own guys?

1584
02:10:22,816 --> 02:10:26,737
That's fucking great!
That's just fucking great, man.

1585
02:10:27,404 --> 02:10:30,782
- Shit! That's fucking crazy.
- [humming taps]

1586
02:10:30,866 --> 02:10:33,869
I mean, I thought you were
going in to blow up a bridge

1587
02:10:33,952 --> 02:10:36,830
or some fucking
railroad tracks or something.

1588
02:10:37,581 --> 02:10:39,875
- Sorry.
- No, no, wait, wait.

1589
02:10:39,958 --> 02:10:43,253
We'll go together on the boat.
We'll go with you.

1590
02:10:43,337 --> 02:10:47,007
We'll go up there, but on the boat. Okay?

1591
02:11:54,074 --> 02:11:56,010
[Willard] <i>Part of me was
afraid of what I would find</i>

1592
02:11:56,034 --> 02:11:58,036
<i>and what I would do when I got there.</i>

1593
02:12:01,081 --> 02:12:02,457
<i>I knew the risks,</i>

1594
02:12:03,959 --> 02:12:05,460
<i>or imagined I knew.</i>

1595
02:12:08,088 --> 02:12:12,259
<i>But the thing I felt the most,
much stronger than fear,</i>

1596
02:12:13,885 --> 02:12:15,804
<i>was the desire to confront him.</i>

1597
02:13:28,502 --> 02:13:29,795
Just keep moving.

1598
02:13:30,504 --> 02:13:34,174
Lance, keep your hands away from the guns.

1599
02:15:01,094 --> 02:15:04,264
[man] It's all right! It's all right!
It's all been approved!

1600
02:15:05,432 --> 02:15:08,685
I ain't coming in there!
Them bastards attacked us!

1601
02:15:10,103 --> 02:15:13,356
Zap them with your siren, man.
Zap them with your siren.

1602
02:15:15,567 --> 02:15:18,779
[siren wailing]

1603
02:15:23,784 --> 02:15:25,762
There's mines over there
and mines over there, too.

1604
02:15:25,786 --> 02:15:28,246
And watch out. Those goddamn
monkeys bite you, I'll tell you.

1605
02:15:29,122 --> 02:15:31,625
Ah. That's a pretty one.
Move it right in toward me.

1606
02:15:33,043 --> 02:15:36,922
I'm an American! Yeah!
An American civilian. Hi, Yanks.

1607
02:15:37,631 --> 02:15:39,132
Hi, American.

1608
02:15:39,633 --> 02:15:41,051
American civilian. It's all right.

1609
02:15:41,802 --> 02:15:44,721
And you got the cigarettes.
And that's what I've been dreaming about.

1610
02:15:45,889 --> 02:15:46,973
Chef.

1611
02:15:47,724 --> 02:15:50,393
- Who are you?
- Who are you?

1612
02:15:51,561 --> 02:15:54,606
[laughing]

1613
02:15:54,689 --> 02:15:56,316
I'm a photojournalist.

1614
02:15:56,983 --> 02:16:01,905
I've covered the war since '64.
I've been in Laos, Cambodia and Nam.

1615
02:16:03,323 --> 02:16:05,951
[whooping]

1616
02:16:06,576 --> 02:16:09,329
I'll tell you one thing,
this boat is a mess, man.

1617
02:16:10,330 --> 02:16:11,665
Who are all these people?

1618
02:16:11,748 --> 02:16:14,292
Yeah, they think you've come to, uh,

1619
02:16:15,836 --> 02:16:17,087
take him away,

1620
02:16:17,170 --> 02:16:20,048
- and I hope that isn't true.
- Take who away?

1621
02:16:22,342 --> 02:16:23,426
Him!

1622
02:16:24,052 --> 02:16:25,262
Colonel Kurtz.

1623
02:16:26,137 --> 02:16:28,849
These are all his children, man,
as far as you can see.

1624
02:16:30,141 --> 02:16:32,644
Hell, man, out here,
we're all his children.

1625
02:16:33,562 --> 02:16:34,771
Could we, uh,

1626
02:16:35,772 --> 02:16:36,940
talk to Colonel Kurtz?

1627
02:16:37,524 --> 02:16:40,277
Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel.

1628
02:16:41,695 --> 02:16:43,613
Well, you listen to him.

1629
02:16:44,698 --> 02:16:50,412
The man's enlarged my mind.
He's a poet warrior in the classic sense.

1630
02:16:51,037 --> 02:16:54,249
Sometimes you'll say hello to him, right,

1631
02:16:54,332 --> 02:16:56,769
and he'll just walk right by
you and he won't even notice you.

1632
02:16:56,793 --> 02:17:00,297
And then suddenly he'll grab you,
he'll throw you in a corner and he'll say,

1633
02:17:00,380 --> 02:17:03,466
"Do you know that 'if is the middle
word in 'life"? If you can keep your head

1634
02:17:03,550 --> 02:17:05,403
"when all about you are losing
theirs and blaming it on you,

1635
02:17:05,427 --> 02:17:06,904
"if you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you..."

1636
02:17:06,928 --> 02:17:08,096
[stammering]

1637
02:17:08,179 --> 02:17:11,391
I'm a little man. I'm a little man.
He's a great man.

1638
02:17:12,183 --> 02:17:14,644
"I should have been a pair of ragged claws

1639
02:17:14,728 --> 02:17:17,939
Scuttling across
the floors of silent seas."

1640
02:17:18,023 --> 02:17:20,400
- Stay with the boat.
- [stammering]

1641
02:17:20,483 --> 02:17:23,361
Don't go without me, okay?
I wanna get a picture.

1642
02:17:25,906 --> 02:17:30,577
He can be terrible, he can be mean,
and he can be right.

1643
02:17:31,578 --> 02:17:34,414
He's fighting the war. He's a great man.

1644
02:17:36,541 --> 02:17:38,585
[chuckles] I mean...

1645
02:17:39,711 --> 02:17:40,754
[sighs reverently]

1646
02:17:42,505 --> 02:17:46,051
I wish I had words, you know?
I wish I had words.

1647
02:17:46,134 --> 02:17:48,774
I can tell you something, like,
the other day he wanted to kill me.

1648
02:17:49,304 --> 02:17:51,514
- Something like that.
- Why'd he want to kill you?

1649
02:17:52,015 --> 02:17:53,600
Because I took his picture.

1650
02:17:54,601 --> 02:17:56,895
He said, "If you take my picture again,

1651
02:17:58,271 --> 02:17:59,606
"I'm gonna kill you,"

1652
02:18:00,815 --> 02:18:02,150
and he meant it.

1653
02:18:04,653 --> 02:18:08,615
So you just lay cool.
Play it cool, laid back. Dig it.

1654
02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:10,951
He gets friendly again. He really does.

1655
02:18:12,577 --> 02:18:14,955
But you don't judge the Colonel.

1656
02:18:15,872 --> 02:18:17,999
You don't judge the
Colonel like an ordinary man.

1657
02:18:24,881 --> 02:18:28,343
[photojournalist] Okay, watch it now.
These are Americans. Americans!

1658
02:18:28,426 --> 02:18:29,928
You can feel the vibe of this place.

1659
02:18:30,929 --> 02:18:34,391
Let me take your picture.
Could you hold... Hello? Hello?

1660
02:18:34,474 --> 02:18:35,976
Could you hold up a minute?

1661
02:18:38,269 --> 02:18:39,938
[camera clicking]

1662
02:18:58,331 --> 02:18:59,499
Colby.

1663
02:19:15,974 --> 02:19:19,853
The heads. You're looking at the heads.

1664
02:19:19,936 --> 02:19:21,730
[stammering]

1665
02:19:21,813 --> 02:19:24,107
Sometimes he goes too far.

1666
02:19:24,190 --> 02:19:26,026
He's the first one to admit it.

1667
02:19:27,152 --> 02:19:29,404
- He's gone crazy.
- Wrong, wrong!

1668
02:19:31,364 --> 02:19:34,325
If you could have heard
the man just two days ago.

1669
02:19:34,409 --> 02:19:36,995
If you could have heard him then, God...

1670
02:19:37,078 --> 02:19:38,955
You're gonna call him crazy?

1671
02:19:39,539 --> 02:19:40,915
Fucking A.

1672
02:19:42,375 --> 02:19:43,793
I just wanna talk to him.

1673
02:19:46,171 --> 02:19:47,714
Well, man, he's gone away.

1674
02:19:49,632 --> 02:19:52,111
He's gone away. He disappeared
out in the jungle with his people.

1675
02:19:52,135 --> 02:19:54,888
- I'll wait for him.
- He feels comfortable with his people.

1676
02:19:55,805 --> 02:19:57,849
He forgets himself with his people.

1677
02:19:59,809 --> 02:20:02,645
- He forgets himself.
- Captain?

1678
02:20:02,729 --> 02:20:04,397
Maybe we should wait back at the boat.

1679
02:20:05,690 --> 02:20:07,067
- [stammering]
- Okay, Chef.

1680
02:20:07,567 --> 02:20:11,988
- We'll go back to the boat for a while.
- Yeah, stay with Lance.

1681
02:20:22,373 --> 02:20:28,004
[wood being chopped]

1682
02:20:35,261 --> 02:20:40,100
This Colonel guy, he's wacko, man.
He's worse than crazy. He's evil!

1683
02:20:41,434 --> 02:20:43,061
That's what the man's got set up here!

1684
02:20:43,144 --> 02:20:45,480
Man, it's fucking Pagan idolatry.
Look around you!

1685
02:20:46,981 --> 02:20:49,692
- Shit, he's loco.
- [Willard] Then you'll help me?

1686
02:20:50,401 --> 02:20:53,589
[Chef] Help you? Fucking A, I'll help you.
I'll do anything to get out of this joint.

1687
02:20:53,613 --> 02:20:55,240
[Willard] Good boy.

1688
02:20:55,323 --> 02:20:56,842
[Chef] We could blow
all them assholes away.

1689
02:20:56,866 --> 02:20:59,494
They're so fucking spaced out,
they wouldn't even know it.

1690
02:21:00,411 --> 02:21:04,916
I ain't afraid of all them
fucking skulls and altars and shit.

1691
02:21:07,043 --> 02:21:10,672
I used to think if I
died in an evil place,

1692
02:21:11,214 --> 02:21:13,299
then my soul wouldn't be
able to make it to heaven.

1693
02:21:14,259 --> 02:21:17,220
But now, fuck.

1694
02:21:19,430 --> 02:21:21,724
I don't care where it goes,
as long as it ain't here.

1695
02:21:22,308 --> 02:21:25,145
So what do you wanna do?
I'll kill the fuck.

1696
02:21:25,228 --> 02:21:27,021
- No, no.
- Get out of here.

1697
02:21:27,105 --> 02:21:28,731
I'm gonna need you to wait here, Chef.

1698
02:21:29,482 --> 02:21:33,027
I'll go up with Lance and scrounge around,
check the place out,

1699
02:21:33,653 --> 02:21:35,822
see if I can find the Colonel, okay?

1700
02:21:37,323 --> 02:21:40,702
- [stammering] What do you want me to do?
- Damn it.

1701
02:21:40,785 --> 02:21:46,791
Here, you take the radio,
and if I don't get back by 2200 hours,

1702
02:21:49,669 --> 02:21:51,004
you call in the air strike.

1703
02:21:53,798 --> 02:21:55,175
Air strike?

1704
02:21:56,926 --> 02:22:01,598
The code is "Almighty,"
coordinates 0-9-2-6-4-7-1-2.

1705
02:22:02,515 --> 02:22:03,850
It's all in there.

1706
02:22:05,518 --> 02:22:08,146
[Chef reading aloud] 0-9-2-6-4-7-1-2.

1707
02:22:17,030 --> 02:22:20,366
[Willard] <i>Everything I saw told
me that Kurtz had gone insane.</i>

1708
02:22:24,746 --> 02:22:30,418
<i>The place was full of bodies.
North Vietnamese, Viet Cong, Cambodians.</i>

1709
02:22:38,092 --> 02:22:41,095
<i>If I was still alive,
it was because he wanted me that way.</i>

1710
02:22:51,439 --> 02:22:52,440
Hey!

1711
02:23:00,406 --> 02:23:03,284
[Willard shouting]

1712
02:23:06,913 --> 02:23:08,039
[screaming]

1713
02:23:15,546 --> 02:23:17,966
<i>It smelled like slow death in there.</i>

1714
02:23:19,550 --> 02:23:22,804
<i>Malaria, nightmares.</i>

1715
02:23:25,598 --> 02:23:27,892
<i>This was the end of the river, all right.</i>

1716
02:23:36,776 --> 02:23:38,069
[coughing]

1717
02:23:41,948 --> 02:23:43,388
[Kurtz] Where are you from, Willard?

1718
02:23:48,955 --> 02:23:50,540
I'm from Ohio, sir.

1719
02:23:56,504 --> 02:23:59,132
- Were you born there?
- Yes, sir.

1720
02:24:01,301 --> 02:24:04,429
- Whereabouts?
- Toledo, sir.

1721
02:24:11,311 --> 02:24:13,104
How far are you from the river?

1722
02:24:20,069 --> 02:24:21,779
The Ohio River, sir?

1723
02:24:23,031 --> 02:24:25,992
- Uh-huh.
- About 200 miles.

1724
02:24:34,000 --> 02:24:36,961
I went down that river
once when I was a kid.

1725
02:24:41,841 --> 02:24:44,844
There's a place in the river,
I can't remember.

1726
02:24:44,927 --> 02:24:50,099
It must've been a gardenia plantation
or a flower plantation at one time.

1727
02:24:50,183 --> 02:24:52,935
It's all wild and overgrown now,

1728
02:24:53,019 --> 02:24:59,525
but for about five miles, you'd
think that heaven just fell on the Earth,

1729
02:25:00,943 --> 02:25:02,904
in the form of gardenias.

1730
02:25:05,573 --> 02:25:07,742
[creaking]

1731
02:25:19,212 --> 02:25:24,258
Have you ever
considered any real freedoms?

1732
02:25:30,056 --> 02:25:32,975
Freedoms from the opinion of others?

1733
02:25:36,521 --> 02:25:38,481
Even the opinions of yourself?

1734
02:25:54,664 --> 02:25:58,251
Did they say why, Willard?

1735
02:26:00,503 --> 02:26:05,216
Why they wanted to terminate my command?

1736
02:26:20,857 --> 02:26:23,067
I was sent on a classified mission, sir.

1737
02:26:27,280 --> 02:26:28,948
No longer classified,

1738
02:26:30,199 --> 02:26:31,451
is it?

1739
02:26:38,124 --> 02:26:39,542
What did they tell you?

1740
02:26:42,545 --> 02:26:44,088
They told me

1741
02:26:44,797 --> 02:26:46,340
that you had gone

1742
02:26:47,633 --> 02:26:48,926
totally insane,

1743
02:26:51,804 --> 02:26:56,267
and that your methods were

1744
02:26:57,226 --> 02:26:58,436
unsound.

1745
02:27:01,981 --> 02:27:03,900
Are my methods unsound?

1746
02:27:09,989 --> 02:27:16,162
I don't see any method at all, sir.

1747
02:27:20,791 --> 02:27:21,918
[sniffs]

1748
02:27:23,252 --> 02:27:26,881
I expected someone like you.

1749
02:27:30,259 --> 02:27:31,511
What did you expect?

1750
02:27:39,769 --> 02:27:41,354
Are you an assassin?

1751
02:27:46,234 --> 02:27:47,401
I'm a soldier.

1752
02:27:51,280 --> 02:27:52,865
You're neither.

1753
02:27:55,034 --> 02:27:56,536
You're an errand boy

1754
02:27:58,204 --> 02:28:00,039
sent by grocery clerks

1755
02:28:04,377 --> 02:28:06,045
to collect a bill.

1756
02:28:09,131 --> 02:28:10,800
[insects buzzing]

1757
02:28:50,006 --> 02:28:55,636
Why, huh? Why would a nice guy
like you wanna kill a genius?

1758
02:29:02,476 --> 02:29:04,228
Going down pretty good, huh?

1759
02:29:04,979 --> 02:29:06,063
Why?

1760
02:29:07,773 --> 02:29:09,442
You know?

1761
02:29:10,234 --> 02:29:12,278
Do you know that the man,

1762
02:29:15,781 --> 02:29:17,783
the man really likes you?

1763
02:29:21,078 --> 02:29:23,289
He likes you. He really likes you,

1764
02:29:25,499 --> 02:29:27,376
but he's got something in mind for you.

1765
02:29:27,460 --> 02:29:30,212
[chuckles] Aren't you curious about that?

1766
02:29:30,796 --> 02:29:34,216
I'm curious. I'm very curious.

1767
02:29:35,551 --> 02:29:36,677
Are you curious?

1768
02:29:37,845 --> 02:29:38,971
[chuckles]

1769
02:29:39,764 --> 02:29:42,558
There's something happening out here, man.

1770
02:29:45,978 --> 02:29:48,898
You know something, man?
I know something that you don't know.

1771
02:29:48,981 --> 02:29:50,608
That's right, jack.

1772
02:29:50,691 --> 02:29:52,985
The man is clear in his mind,

1773
02:29:54,403 --> 02:29:55,821
but his soul is mad.

1774
02:29:58,032 --> 02:29:59,325
Oh, yeah.

1775
02:30:00,451 --> 02:30:04,455
He's dying, I think.
He hates all this. He hates it.

1776
02:30:05,539 --> 02:30:09,418
But the man's...

1777
02:30:12,922 --> 02:30:15,424
He reads poetry out loud, all right?

1778
02:30:17,343 --> 02:30:18,511
And a voice,

1779
02:30:20,388 --> 02:30:21,639
a voice...

1780
02:30:24,350 --> 02:30:26,143
He likes you 'cause you're still alive.

1781
02:30:27,311 --> 02:30:29,021
He's got plans for you.

1782
02:30:29,105 --> 02:30:33,734
No, no, I'm not gonna help you.
You're gonna help him, man.

1783
02:30:34,694 --> 02:30:36,445
You're gonna help him.

1784
02:30:36,529 --> 02:30:38,989
What are they gonna say, man,
when he's gone? Huh?

1785
02:30:39,073 --> 02:30:43,744
'Cause he dies when it dies, man.
When it dies, he dies.

1786
02:30:43,828 --> 02:30:45,972
What are they gonna say about him?
What are they gonna say?

1787
02:30:45,996 --> 02:30:49,583
"He was a kind man. He was a wise man.

1788
02:30:49,667 --> 02:30:53,462
"He had plans. He had wisdom."
Bullshit, man!

1789
02:30:53,546 --> 02:30:57,591
Am I gonna be the one that's gonna
set them straight? Look at me. Wrong!

02:31:01,387 --> 02:31:02,471
You.

I'm on this shitty boat.

02:36:25,502 --> 02:36:30,215
"Paralyzed force,
gesture without motion..."

1812
02:36:30,299 --> 02:36:32,339
[photojournalist]
Do you know what the man's saying?

1813
02:36:33,177 --> 02:36:34,887
- Do you?
- "Those who have crossed..."

1814
02:36:35,512 --> 02:36:39,767
This is dialectics. It's very
simple dialectics. One through nine,

1815
02:36:39,850 --> 02:36:43,228
no "maybes," no "supposes," no fractions.
You can't travel in space.

1816
02:36:43,312 --> 02:36:47,691
You can't go out into space, you know,
without like... With fractions.

1817
02:36:47,775 --> 02:36:49,669
What are you gonna land on?
One-quarter? Three-eighths?

1818
02:36:49,693 --> 02:36:52,446
What are you gonna do when you go
from here to Venus or something?

1819
02:36:52,529 --> 02:36:54,448
That's dialectic physics, okay?

1820
02:36:54,531 --> 02:36:56,617
Dialectic logic is,
"There's only love and hate."

1821
02:36:56,700 --> 02:36:58,744
You either love somebody or you hate them.

1822
02:36:59,203 --> 02:37:00,287
Mutt!

1823
02:37:02,623 --> 02:37:03,874
[disdainfully] You mutt.

1824
02:37:04,708 --> 02:37:09,713
This is the way the fucking world ends.
Look at this fucking shit we're in, man!

1825
02:37:10,464 --> 02:37:12,466
"Not with a bang, a whimper."

1826
02:37:12,549 --> 02:37:14,885
And with a whimper, I'm fucking splitting,
jack.

1827
02:37:44,706 --> 02:37:47,459
[Willard] <i>On the river, I thought
that the minute I looked at him,</i>

1828
02:37:47,543 --> 02:37:49,294
<i>I'd know what to do.</i>

1829
02:37:50,254 --> 02:37:51,505
<i>But it didn't happen.</i>

1830
02:37:53,465 --> 02:37:56,969
<i>I was in there with him for days,
not under guard.</i>

1831
02:37:57,928 --> 02:37:59,138
<i>I was free.</i>

1832
02:38:00,055 --> 02:38:02,307
<i>But he knew I wasn't going anywhere.</i>

1833
02:38:03,559 --> 02:38:06,854
<i>He knew more about what I was
going to do than I did.</i>

1834
02:38:13,944 --> 02:38:17,447
<i>If the generals back in Nha Trang
could see what I saw,</i>

1835
02:38:18,407 --> 02:38:20,993
<i>would they still want me to kill him?</i>

1836
02:38:22,244 --> 02:38:24,121
<i>More than ever, probably.</i>

1837
02:38:25,581 --> 02:38:27,499
<i>And what would his people back home want,</i>

1838
02:38:27,583 --> 02:38:30,627
<i>if they ever learned just how
far from them he'd really gone?</i>

1839
02:38:33,213 --> 02:38:36,633
<i>He broke from them,
and then he broke from himself.</i>

1840
02:38:38,302 --> 02:38:42,472
<i>I'd never seen a man
so broken up and ripped apart.</i>

1841
02:38:43,473 --> 02:38:47,603
[Kurtz] I've seen the horrors,
horrors that you've seen.

1842
02:38:50,272 --> 02:38:52,316
But you have no right
to call me a murderer.

1843
02:38:52,399 --> 02:38:54,193
You have a right to kill me.

1844
02:38:55,527 --> 02:38:57,863
You have a right to do that.

1845
02:38:59,656 --> 02:39:01,658
But you have no right to judge me.

1846
02:39:08,832 --> 02:39:13,837
It's impossible for words to describe

1847
02:39:16,173 --> 02:39:19,343
what is necessary

1848
02:39:21,345 --> 02:39:25,349
to those who do not know

1849
02:39:26,683 --> 02:39:29,645
what horror means.

1850
02:39:31,980 --> 02:39:33,190
Horror.

1851
02:39:36,193 --> 02:39:38,820
Horror has a face.

1852
02:39:41,114 --> 02:39:43,242
And you must make a friend of horror.

1853
02:39:44,952 --> 02:39:49,790
Horror and moral terror are your friends.

1854
02:39:50,374 --> 02:39:55,170
If they are not,
then they are enemies to be feared.

1855
02:39:56,672 --> 02:39:58,548
They are truly enemies.

1856
02:40:03,553 --> 02:40:06,390
I remember when I was with Special Forces.

1857
02:40:10,894 --> 02:40:14,815
It seems a thousand centuries ago.

1858
02:40:18,402 --> 02:40:24,241
We went into a camp
to inoculate some children.

1859
02:40:28,829 --> 02:40:34,376
We'd left the camp after we had
inoculated the children for polio.

1860
02:40:36,837 --> 02:40:40,215
And this old man came running after us,
and he was crying, he couldn't see.

1861
02:40:43,802 --> 02:40:45,470
We went back there

1862
02:40:46,430 --> 02:40:51,893
and they had come
and hacked off every inoculated arm.

1863
02:40:54,271 --> 02:40:57,691
There they were, in a pile. A pile

1864
02:40:59,860 --> 02:41:01,111
of little arms.

1865
02:41:03,196 --> 02:41:05,449
And I remember,

1866
02:41:07,409 --> 02:41:08,660
[stammering]

1867
02:41:09,328 --> 02:41:12,122
I cried. I wept like

1868
02:41:14,291 --> 02:41:16,960
some grandmother.

1869
02:41:19,129 --> 02:41:22,382
I wanted to tear my teeth out.
I didn't know what I wanted to do.

1870
02:41:24,134 --> 02:41:26,386
And I want to remember it.
I never want to forget it.

1871
02:41:27,262 --> 02:41:29,097
I never want to forget.

1872
02:41:30,766 --> 02:41:32,351
And then I realized,

1873
02:41:33,810 --> 02:41:38,148
like I was shot,
like I was shot with a diamond,

1874
02:41:39,358 --> 02:41:42,486
a diamond bullet
right through my forehead.

1875
02:41:44,571 --> 02:41:49,743
And I thought, "My God,
the genius of that. The genius."

1876
02:41:51,161 --> 02:41:53,538
The will to do that,

1877
02:41:55,207 --> 02:41:59,669
perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline,
pure.

1878
02:42:02,255 --> 02:42:04,174
And then I realized

1879
02:42:04,257 --> 02:42:07,844
they were stronger than me
because they could stand it.

1880
02:42:07,928 --> 02:42:11,890
These were not monsters.
These were men, trained cadres.

1881
02:42:13,350 --> 02:42:15,936
These men who fought with their hearts,

1882
02:42:16,019 --> 02:42:19,398
who have families, who have children,
who are filled with love,

1883
02:42:20,399 --> 02:42:22,150
but they have the strength,

1884
02:42:23,693 --> 02:42:25,195
the strength

1885
02:42:29,157 --> 02:42:30,367
to do that.

1886
02:42:31,243 --> 02:42:35,539
If I had 10 divisions of those men,

1887
02:42:36,623 --> 02:42:39,584
then our troubles here
would be over very quickly.

1888
02:42:41,378 --> 02:42:45,799
You have to have men who are moral,

1889
02:42:48,135 --> 02:42:51,930
and at the same time, who are able

1890
02:42:53,807 --> 02:43:00,063
to utilize their
primordial instincts to kill

1891
02:43:01,982 --> 02:43:03,942
without feeling, without passion,

1892
02:43:06,027 --> 02:43:08,530
without judgment. Without judgment.

1893
02:43:14,077 --> 02:43:16,705
Because it's judgment that defeats us.

1894
02:43:23,295 --> 02:43:25,755
[insect buzzing]

1895
02:43:36,183 --> 02:43:42,981
I worry that my son might not
understand what I've tried to be.

1896
02:43:45,692 --> 02:43:50,322
And if I were to be killed, Willard,

1897
02:43:51,865 --> 02:43:57,329
I would want someone to go to my
home and tell my son everything.

1898
02:44:00,624 --> 02:44:03,585
