All language subtitles for Tour of Duty S01E14 Under Siege

[ddd]

Incoming!

[BOMBS DROPPING]

Take cover!

[SOLDIERS SHOUTING]

Fire!

[CANNONS FIRING]

You okay, Baker?

Come on.

Come on, come on.

What the hell
kind of gun is that?

I'm not sure,

but the forward observer
said it may be some type

of Russian-made
heavy artillery.

Hey, Charlie's gonna
level this firebase

if division artillery
doesn't shut his guns down.

We don't know
what the gun is.

Any sign of a probe?

No, not yet,

but we're taking
casualties, L.T.

I mean, this place
wasn't designed

to take this
kind of pounding.

[BOMB DROPS]

Sir, we've got
a chopper coming in.

Well, order him off.

I did. He told me to bug off.

Ready? Fire!

Ready? Fire!

Are you sure, sir?

Hold your fire!

There's a chopper
coming in!

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

Get that wing-wiper
out of here!

[BOMBS DROPPING]

I don't know
who that sucker is,

but if he tries
that again,

I'll blow him
out of the sky myself.

Lieutenant Goldman!

I'm Captain Larry Heath.

I'm here to assume command
of Bravo Company.

Sir, I wasn't expecting you
till Monday.

Well, when I heard
about the heat,

I decided to jump in
a little early.

I spotted some
muzzle flashes

from the chopper.

I know where those big guns
are located.

Where's the CP?

Come on,
on the double, gentlemen!

Feed this coordinate
to Artillery.

Alpha Lima
1-niner 7780.

Alpha Lima
1-niner 7780.

Keep that line open
to the chopper pilot.

One fired.

Redleg confirms one
fired for range.

Artillery on the way.

Redleg, this
is the chopper.

Your initial round landed
200 meters south of the target.

Roger, chopper.

Okay. Adjust and fire
for effect.

Adjust and fire
for effect.

Roger. We copy.

A good shot, Redleg.

You dropped it right down
Charlie's tail pipe.

You won't be hearing from
those guys anymore, Bravo-6.

Welcome to Firebase
Ladybird, sir.

Just doing my job,
lieutenant.

[REFUGEES CHATTING QUIETLY]

[BABY CRYING]

What do you
make of that?

Well, they're definitely
scared of something.

Look at 'em,

They're carrying
everything they own.

Let's go have a talk
with the captain.

This new captain
must be really wired

to snag all
this stuff.

You don't
spend a year

on General Woodman's
staff in Saigon,

and not have
your act together, Ru.

Yeah, this guy,
he's definitely okay in my book.

Nancy Sinatra, man.

Look at that
miniskirt!

Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!

Ooh, captain.
Captain.

At ease.

You know, I know a guy
in special services

who's going to send us
all the most recent releases

as soon as they come in.

In case you don't know,

my previous post was on
General Woodman's staff

in Saigon.

I had a nice big desk,

nice big
air-conditioned office,

and I gave it up to come here.

I fought to come here.

You know why?

You could be crazy.

Because we have a chance
to make history, gentlemen.

We have a chance
to end this war.

Hanoi needs
a victory.

We're gonna get
in his way.

We're gonna scour
this entire valley.

So when Charlie tries
to make his move,

we're gonna be there,
we're gonna know about it,

and we're gonna break his neck.

The risks are great,

but the rewards,
gentlemen,

are greater.

Bravo company is gonna become
the meanest, toughest,

and most effective
fighting unit in Vietnam.

You men
are soldiers,

and as soldiers, your job,

what you're being paid for,
is to grease dinks.

You should be
encouraged to do so.

So what we're gonna do

is we're gonna give you a bonus
when you do a good job.

From now on,
every month,

the squad with the most kills

gets a week in R and R
at Vung Tau,

premier beach
in Vietnam.

Right on!

[SOME SOLDIERS CHEERING]

Premier beach!

Carry on, gentlemen.

TAYLOR: Now, there's
a man with ideas.

I think I like
this dude.

Sir...

Excuse me, sir.

What is it,
lieutenant?

Well, sir, I think
you're right

about Charlie
making his big move.

Did you see
the refugees

outside the wire?

Obviously, something's
about ready to jump off.

Yes, sir.

I just hope the captain,
here, realizes

our defenses here
still need a lot of work.

I mean, the perimeter wire's
never been finished.

We still need
tangle-foot

and about 10 or 12 rolls
of chicken wire out there.

We're not building a farm,
here, sergeant.

Yes, sir, I'm aware of that.

I also remember
what happened to the French

at Dien Bien Phu.

Well, as I'm sure you realize,

the nature of warfare
has changed dramatically

since Dien Bien Phu.

We're protected
24 hours a day

by the most
sophisticated system

in military history.

I just hope

that Charlie is foolish enough
to attack this place,

and in the meantime,

we're not gonna
dig in here

like a bunch of gophers.

Yes, sir.

Well, now,

what do you make
of this fellow?

[SIGHS]

Well, he may be
a general someday,

but he's dead wrong
about our defenses.

I heard that.

Okay, L.T.,

I'd like to get
the third squad

busy digging those
trenches right away.

Well, dig quietly.

I'll try
and cover you.

All right.

I hope our lives
don't get in the way

of his ambition.

So how many bonus
points per foot

do we get for
this job, huh?

Somewhere between
zero and none.

Yeah, next thing,
they'll be wanting us

to sing one
of those songs

that goes
doo-dah, doo-dah.

Guys, water break.

All right.

All right.

Give me that.

So how many days
you got left, Doc?

I got 15 and a wake-up.

Wow, that's great.
What're you gonna do

when you're
a civilian, Doc?

Oh, man, I can't even think
that far down the road.

I already re-enlisted.

You what?

I re-enlisted.

See, they got this new program.

I get an army scholarship
to medical school,

and I serve
the rest of my time

after I graduate.

Yeah, Doc, you're
the only guy I know's

gonna get
out of this mess

with more than scars
on your tail.

Wow, that's
all right!

I bet your parents
are real proud, eh?

Yeah, they are.

See, they were both
in internment camps

during World War II.

Lost everything.

House, everything.

My dad keeps saying
get all the education you can.

Said they can't steal that
from you.

You know, a doctor gig
wouldn't be that bad.

You get to write
the prescriptions

for all the dangerous
drugs you want,

you get a slough of
nurses chasing after,

and all you got to do
is re-up for six years.

I would not
do that, Doc.

[LAUGHING]

He's got a point.

Go away.

See you guys.

Think about it, Doc.
Think about it!

Sergeant, what's
going on here?

Well, I took it upon myself
to get some trenches dug

and we strung some wire up
along the berm there.

Who gave you the orders?

Sir, I, uh...
gave the Sergeant the orders.

I thought these men
were scheduled

to go on reconnaissance
of the valley floor,

but obviously they're too busy
here digging ditches.

Send out another squad.

Yes, sir.

I want to see you in the CP
in an hour.

Yes, sir.

Santucci!

Get your men!
Saddle up!

Apparently we have
different ideas

about the chain of command.

I don't know what you mean, sir.

You don't know what I mean?

Platoon sergeant seems to have
an inordinate influence

on decision-making around here.

The platoon sergeant's
on his third combat tour,

and I'm proud to say
I've learned a lot from him.

I think the hallmark
of any good officer

is to be
willing to listen.

I'm listening, Lieutenant.

Sir, we need to fortify
this base--

I'm not against

shoring up
Ladybird's defenses.

On the contrary,
I want that done

as quickly as our
limited manpower will permit.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

But every command
has its priorities,

and ours are aggressive patrol
and reconnaissance.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

What we need

are confirmed sightings
of enemy troop movement.

Charlie's intent,

and intelligence reports
confirm this,

is to use this valley

for a surprise attack
on Danang and Chu Lai.

Well, if that's the case, sir,

they're not gonna by-pass
Ladybird.

They'd be leaving
an active firebase to the rear.

Now, you listen to me.

Charlie cannot afford
an attack on this base.

It'd use up his assets,
it'd slow him down,

and lead to certain
annihilation.

He will pass us by.

Am I getting through to you,
lieutenant?

Yes, sir.

Good.

Lieutenant...

you and I have gotten off
to a bumpy start.

I regret that.

I do too, sir.

I'm on the fast track, here,
lieutenant.

The opportunities
for advancement

have never been greater.

I know we can work together.

I'm sure of it.

Sarge, someone's
gonna have to

get us some
more wire.

Wow, Santucci's
squad

got themselves
a prisoner.

Something ain't right.

Hold it
right there, now!

Where's your squad leader?

Where's Santucci?

What's the problem?

I don't know, sir.

What's he doing?
He's out of his mind?

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

[GUNFIRE]

[SHOUTING]

NVA, 409th
regular infantry.

Charlie's starting
to make his move.

Last report on this unit,
they were north of Hanoi.

He's playing right
into our hands.

What the hell were they doing
that close to the base?

Oh, probably wanted to have
a first-hand look at us.

Once they start
their move through the valley,

they'll have to keep us
bottled up.

Or run us over.

I know how these people think.

This base is of no strategic
importance to them.

Hey, maybe Santucci's
still alive.

Hey, we better send out
another patrol,

see what
happened to them.

Yes, sir.

That was damn good shooting,
sergeant.

I'm gonna give
third squad

credit for three kills.

This will look very good

in General Woodman's
trophy case.

You get your squad, Anderson.
Let's get it done.

Let's go.

Baker, what
are you doing?

I thought
I saw something.

Hey, come on, man.

Look, I want that
weekend at the beach.

Man, my butt's
dragging too low

for an incentive
program.

Baker, you all right?

I'm sick, man.

Did you take
your salt tablets?

Drink some
water, come on.

What's the problem
here?

He's dehydrated,
Sarge.

We gotta get him
out of the sun.

What, are you crazy or
something, Baker?

You're packing
enough ammo

to break down a mule
in this heat.

He's wants to go surfing
awful bad.

Oh, yeah?
Let me tell you something,

this incentive program

is gonna get some people
killed here.

Hey, Sarge, take a look at this.

Baker, you take
some of that off.

Here, not too much.

What have you
got, blood?

No, blood's darker,
and you can smell it.

It's cosmoline.

Is that grease
or something?

Well, not exactly.
The NVA uses this stuff

to their protect
weapons in transit.

Rockets and mortars,
mostly.

Got more of it over here, Sarge.

Yeah?

And look, see the tire tracks?

They must've moved a whole
weapons platoon through here.

They never clean this stuff off
till they're ready to fire.

Sarge, better
get up here.

Latrines.

I wouldn't be surprised

if a whole company
bivouaced here last night.

Any sign of Santucci's squad?

Nothing.

All right, you guys,

we could be getting in
over our heads, here.

I want every one of you at 100%.

Let's move out.

Sarge...

Santucci.

All right, keep your eyes open
and your mouths shut.

Percell... you and me,
we stick to the trail.

The rest of you,
fan out. Come on.

[VARIOUS JUNGLE BIRDS CALLING]

Sarge? Sarge...

Sarge!

Sarge!

Sarge!

Santucci.

Oh, man, I'm gonna be sick.

Let's get the hell
out of here, Sarge.

No, we got to
cut 'em down.

So you turned tail
and ran?

No, sir, we withdrew.

Hell, they could've nailed us
anytime they wanted to.

How many did you see?

Believe me, sir,
they're out there.

I mean, they wanted us
to find those bodies.

Did you take any fire?

No, sir, they're
trying to spook us.

I mean,
there were tracks everywhere.

We came across
a bivouac--

Your job...
what you're being paid for,

is to find the enemy,
notify me

so I can call in air
and artillery support!

I wasn't gonna risk
my men's lives any further.

I mean, we got the proof
we need--

I can't go to General Woodman
with a greasy rag!

I need concrete,
conclusive evidence

that the enemy's moving
through this sector!

Well, we need more men.

No, what we need
is competent leadership!

What we need is a certain
kind of aggressiveness,

and if you're not
up to the job--

NVA [ON MEGAPHONE]:
Attention!

Attention all GI
in Bravo Company!

You are surrounded

by the People's Army
of North Vietnam!

You have no chance!

You must surrender now,

or you will die!

Put down your arms, GI!

Why do you fight L.B.J.'s
unjust and immoral war?

[BOMB DROPS]

How long could
this go on?

Till Charlie runs out
of ammo, I guess.

Yeah, but
what's he up to?

I mean, it's been going
on and off all day long.

You are victims
of capitalist oppression!

Look around you!

There are no sons
of the ruling elite

fighting at your side!

It's bull, man!

What about Horn?
He went to college, right?

[MORTAR ROUND DROPS]

You are surrounded!

Unless you surrender,

you only have
a few hours to live!

[RADIO FEEDBACK]

You're on the air, baby.

TAYLOR:
Get down!

You're singing the wrong tune,
chop mouth!

That's right!
You the ones better surrender,

you little sawed-off
fish head suckers!

That's right!
This is your last chance,

or you're all gonna look
like leftovers

from a razor fight
at a chitlin supper!

[LAUGHING]

Hey, Chief,
come here, come here.

Say something about
Ho Chi Minh's mama.

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

[VOICE RESPONDS ANGRILY
IN VIETNAMESE]

[SOLDIERS LAUGHING]

Way to go, man.

You did pretty good.

It doesn't even
need a translation.

You messed
'em up, boy.

All right,
fish heads!

This is Radio Ladybird!
You--

[EXPLOSION]

No more joke, GI.

Tonight, you die!

Are we out of water?

We're close.

Yeah, we're
running low

on ammo for
the mortars too.

To your health, soldier.

Pass it around.

Now, I know you guys
are concerned about fireworks

and the shortage of ammo
and water.

Just got off the horn
with Brigade.

Resupply's on its way,

and as for
the shelling,

it's not a prelude

to an assault
on this base.

Charlie's intention
is to harass us

and to pin us down,
nothing more.

Charlie is playing
right into our hands.

His big move is underway.

As soon as we've pinpointed
his troop concentrations,

our fighter bombers
and our artillery

will waste him.

Gentlemen,

what's happening right
here in this valley

could lead directly
to the end of the war.

We've set in motion
a great historical event.

You're going to be proud

to tell your grandchildren
you were here.

Now, keep your chins up
and your heads down.

You'll be all right.

You got my word on that.

[BOMBS DROPPING]

Cover!

Take your positions!

Come on! Come on!

It's set.

Aim one. Fire!

Percell...

Well, we've only got
about 10 gallons left.

That's if the dinks
didn't hit the barrels

in the last
few minutes.

[BOMB DROPPING]

Just keep your chin up
and your head down, L.T.,

and we'll be all right.

Yeah, right.

Sir...

Sir, it's
a secure net.

Colonel Dalby from
General Woodman's staff.

This is
Bravo Six. Over.

What's happening, Six?

We're receiving heavy
firepower, sir.

We need immediate
counterartillery support.

We got problems
all over.

There's
a mortar attack

on your direct
support artillery base.

Their headquarters

in the fire
direction center

are off the air.

What about Tac Air?

Negative.

Your air cover
has been pre-empted

by an attack
on Lon Vi.

It's a mess.

We got action
everywhere.

Sir...
we need some help up here.

Do the best
you can, Larry.

We'll get you
something

as soon
as it's available.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry.
He'll get us some support..

even if he has to go all
the way up to General Woodman.

Aah!

Caldwell...

Caldwell!

You hang in there, Teddy.

You hang in there,
you're gonna be all right.

Come on, now. Come on.

My glasses.
My glasses.

[TEDDY WHIMPERING]

[BOMBS DROPPING]

Teddy, quit your screaming!
You're gonna make it!

Here, Doc!

Take him
to the bunker.

He's moving
everybody down.

Come on, Doc,
he's in a lot of pain--

Hey, I'm out of morphine.

Let's go!

What did I tell
you, lieutenant?

Here comes our resupply.

Should be plenty of ammo
in there besides water.

[GUNFIRE]

CHOPPER PILOT: Bravo Six,
we're coming in hot.

We're taking heavy
machine gun fire!

We're hit! We're hit!
We're turning back!

Good luck, Bravo-6!

CAPTAIN: They dropped
it outside the wire.

Captain, we don't
get that ammo,

we're gonna be throwing
rocks at Charlie.

We'll cover you.

Let's go!

Grab it and go! Grab it and go!

Got to go!

Go! Go! Go!

Come on!

Give them some cover!
Burn the mountain!

Sir, that's
a waste of ammo--

Cover fire!

Get out of here!
Get out of here!

Nice work, sergeant.
You got most of it.

These are useless in our tubes.

This is 60-millimeter.
We need 81.

[BOMBS DROPPING]

What was the name of that creek
somebody said we were up?

[BOMB DROPS]

[AMMO EXPLODING]

[HORN PLAYING HARMONICA]

Hey, Randy...

Yeah?

What's this for?

My grandmother gave it to me.

It's supposed
to bring you good luck.

So why are you giving it to me?

Because I can tell

you're gonna be a big
successful doctor someday.

I just wanted
you to know--

if only one of us makes it
out of here alive, I...

I'd rather it be you.

If we bury it,

at least the gooks
won't be able

to get our stuff.

You know, I started writing
my mom in English.

It's gonna be
hard enough

for her to understand this
in Spanish, sarge.

All right, y'all,
now, listen up, here.

I want you to take
one of your dog tags

and stick it
inside your boot.

All right?

Sarge...

Yeah?

We don't have a chance, do we?

Oh, yes, we do, Percell.
There's always a chance.

You'll be
all right.

Hey, Ruiz...

Now, when this is over,

I want you to get yourself
a haircut, you hear me?

I ain't ready for this, Sarge.

Well, man, nobody is...
you know?

What about the support
you promised me?

Where the hell are they?

They've been
diverted

to a hot spot
up north.

Is General Woodman
aware of the situation?

Affirmative.

You know the problem
as well as I do, Larry,

we couldn't commit

air and artillery
to your sector

without a
confirmed target.

We're taking
heat everywhere.

I'll get
back to you.

Yes, sir.

What are your
orders, sir?

Orders?
What do you need orders for?

For the defense
of the firebase.

The enemy will
attack tonight.

If the sergeant had followed
my orders to begin with,

we wouldn't have been
cut off like this.

Sir, in all fairness
to the sergeant--

All Sgt. Anderson had to do
was to beat the bushes

and flush out
a third-rate peasant army!

Air artillery
would have destroyed them!

All you had to do

was force the
enemy to engage!

If I would've
done that,

I would've lost
my entire squad.

In warfare,

it's sometimes necessary
to take losses

in order to gain
your objective!

If you don't understand that,
sergeant,

you're unfit to
wear those stripes!

Sir!

We're running low
on ammunition.

We are surrounded,

and the enemy is mounting
a major assault

on this base!

Now, what
are your orders?

[BOMBS DROPPING]

There's nothing
we can do.

This base is lost.

Request permission to burn
the code books, sir.

Go ahead.

L.T., now, I don't care
what that man says.

We can't just
roll over on our backs

and die here.

We aren't.

We still got those
mortar shells?

Yeah, and a C-4 block.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, you guys,
on your feet. We got to move.

Taylor, you got to
round up some det cord.

Baker and Horn, there are
a couple buckets of nails

over by the mess tent.

You go get them. Pick up
any nuts, bolts,

anything metal you
can get your hands on.

All right, Percell, you
and Johnson go help the L.T..

Come on! Come on! Come on!

We got to go!

I got the det cord.

All right, guys,

we're running
out of time.

Baker... did you set those
gasoline cans like I told you?

Yeah, I got a barrel in
every pit in the base.

Now, here's a diagram that'll
show you how to rig 'em up.

Ruiz, give
him a hand.

Soap suds?

Yeah.

Take this detergent with you.
You're gonna need det cord,

and as many phosphorus grenades
as you can get your hands on.

Percell, Horn!
Get those mortar shells!

I thought they were
the wrong kind.

We're gonna use 'em anyway.

Now, listen to me.
Listen close.

You gotta unscrew the fuse,
take the fuse out,

insert the det cord
with a dab of C-4,

you screw the fuse back in.

You wrap 'em together
with electrical wire,

then you sneak out to the
perimeter as far as you can,

and you string
your electrical wire

right back
to that little old detonator.

You got it? Now, if you
don't, tell me now.
Got it.

What's going on?

All right, we're gonna set up
three lines of defense--

the perimeter, CP bunker,
and a little treat for Charlie

if he happens to make it
through the first two.

All right, let's do it.
Come on.

Johnson, you're
my new cannoneer.

Yes, sir, but I ain't
got any ammo.

Just get me some nails
and some wire.

[ddd]

There's a relief column
on its way.

When?

By daylight.

Captain, by daylight,

there ain't gonna be
anything left here

but elbows
and toenails.

You'll never understand
how the modern army works.

You got that right.

Last of the water, man.

Last of the water, guys.

Taylor, Johnson.

Last of the water.

I brought you
some water, sarge.

Thanks. Did you get
some of that? Yeah?

Yo, Danny.

Better drink up
while you can.

You guys okay?

Yeah, yeah,
we're all right.

All right.

I'm counting on you.

Me too.

I just heard
from Battalion.

Yeah?

Nothing.

You ready?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

You wait until
they're on us, Zeke.

Yes, sir.

Incoming!

All right, when the shells hit,
get your heads back up!

Charlie's gonna be
right behind them!

Fire!

That's all I can do for now,
all right? Go. Go on!

Here they come.

Don't fire
till you hear the 60s.

Hold your fire, now!
Hold your fire!

All right, stand by.
I'm going to hit some mortar!

All right, they're coming!

Hold your fire, now.

Wait till they hit the wire,
then give them a jolt!

All right, 60's get it!

Grenade!

Fall back to the CP!

Come on!

Get some more clips
over here!

[YELLING IN VIETNAMESE]

[SOLDIERS YELLING FRANTICALLY]

Where's the doc?
We need a medic!

Doc! Get out of there!

Get down to CP!

To hell
with Redleg's priority!

We're being overrun here!

Redirect all general fire!
Do you copy?

Do you copy?

Do you hear me?

The antenna's down!

Get away
from the door!

Everybody down!

Here goes
our second jolt!

[COUGHING]

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

Listen.

All right.
Charlie's digging through.

All right, everybody
get down

as flat as you can.

See you all in hell.

[ddd]

PILOT: Uh, move in with extreme
caution, Abel seven.

There's no sign
of the enemy.

As a matter of fact,

there's no sign of life
down there at all.

Man, this place
is really wasted.

[ddd]

Larry. Are you
okay? Hmm?

Yes, sir, Colonel Dalby.

We lost a lot of good men.

I'm going to recommend
this soldier

for a silver star.

You did
a hell of a job.

The general's going to be
real proud of you.

You all did
a hell of a job.

The damn kill ratio
must be better than 11 to 1.

We slaughtered them.

This is just
the kind of head-on fight

we've been waiting for.

With a little luck,

there'll be a lot
more days like this one.
