00:12:27,621 --> 00:12:28,663
He's a good man.
172
00:12:31,917 --> 00:12:34,461
-Thanks, Doc.
-Yes, sir.
173
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:58,985
There he is.
Right on time.
174
00:12:59,236 --> 00:13:01,905
Quite a character.
A tour in Korea...
175
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:04,240
...a year in Vietnam.
176
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,619
Speaks 3 languages.
Are you sure about this soldier?
177
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:09,245
What do you mean?
178
00:13:09,497 --> 00:13:13,541
I checked his jump record. Every time,
the jumpmaster has to push him out.
179
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:15,376
That's why I want him.
180
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:18,588
He won't quit.
181
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:32,227
KlRBY:
Hold it, soldier!
182
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:38,900
Nice day.
183
00:13:39,151 --> 00:13:40,318
Yes, sir.
184
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:42,737
Kind of out of your territory,
aren't you?
185
00:13:43,906 --> 00:13:44,948
Yes, sir.
186
00:13:45,115 --> 00:13:46,491
What are you doing here?
187
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,956
Watching a basketball game.
188
00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:56,376
What were you doing here yesterday?
189
00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:59,337
And the day before?
And the day before that?
190
00:13:59,588 --> 00:14:03,800
You spend so much time here, you'd
think you wanted to join our outfit.
191
00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:09,889
No, I don't think l'd care
to join the Fifth Group, sir.
192
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,894
I'm sorry to hear that, soldier.
193
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:16,229
Muldoon.
194
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,357
-Yes, sir.
KlRBY: Carry on.
195
00:14:30,077 --> 00:14:31,661
What's that?
196
00:14:31,954 --> 00:14:34,163
It's the fella l was telling you about.
197
00:14:37,793 --> 00:14:39,085
Pull!
198
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,173
Hello, soldier.
199
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:46,885
So you decided to volunteer.
200
00:14:47,177 --> 00:14:48,511
PETERSEN:
My pleasure, sir.
201
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:50,305
Good!
202
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:53,725
Pull!
203
00:14:54,602 --> 00:14:55,977
Nice shooting, sir.
204
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:57,812
That's normal.
205
00:14:58,063 --> 00:15:01,441
Why'd your outfit always send you
when they needed something?
206
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:03,818
I guess I'm good at it.
207
00:15:04,528 --> 00:15:07,238
But not good enough.
You got caught.
208
00:15:07,531 --> 00:15:10,325
Yes, sir, your men did catch me.
1 time out of 1 00.
209
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:13,328
You better hope your luck holds out...
210
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:17,999
...because your first assignment is to
go back to that old outfit of yours...
211
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,126
...and bring back everything you took.
212
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:24,172
-You understand me, sergeant?
-Yes, sir.
213
00:15:24,381 --> 00:15:25,840
-See to it.
-Yes, sir!
214
00:15:26,091 --> 00:15:27,258
Carry on.
215
00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:28,801
MULDOON:
About face!
216
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:30,470
Forward march!
217
00:15:36,185 --> 00:15:37,727
Sergeant?
218
00:15:37,978 --> 00:15:41,314
That's what the man said.
Sergeant.
219
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:45,818
Sergeant.
220
00:15:51,575 --> 00:15:54,535
MULDOON:
Everybody hit the deck! Up and at 'em!
221
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:57,872
Rise and shine! Up and at 'em!
222
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:01,459
Let's go! Get the lead out!
223
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:02,919
On your feet!
224
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:04,879
Let's go!
225
00:16:05,422 --> 00:16:08,549
Come on, soldier, out of the sack!
Everybody up!
226
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:10,760
It's 3:30, let's go!
227
00:16:18,394 --> 00:16:20,937
On your feet, soldier. On your feet.
228
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:25,274
Holy Toledo! lt's only 3:30.
229
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:27,443
3:30? ls that right, sarge?
230
00:16:27,695 --> 00:16:29,570
That's right, soldier boy.
231
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:33,491
You better get some sleep.
We got a lot of work to do tomorrow.
232
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:37,912
MULDOON:
On your feet, soldier. On your feet.
233
00:16:40,207 --> 00:16:41,374
What kind of a--?
234
00:16:41,625 --> 00:16:43,751
You got 1 0 minutes to pack.
235
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:48,381
Pack in 1 0 minutes? Takes me longer
than that to get my heart started.
236
00:16:48,632 --> 00:16:50,133
MULDOON:
What are you doing?
237
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:51,426
I'm packing!
238
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,681
You pack what Uncle Sam issued
and that's all. You got 9 minutes.
239
00:16:56,932 --> 00:17:00,018
-Why the countdown?
-You got 8.
240
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:01,978
Eight?
241
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:03,438
Where are we going?
242
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:05,857
MULDOON:
You'll get the word.
243
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:03,623
On the way out,
everybody grab his gear.
244
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:12,465
MORGAN:
Welcome to Da Nang!
245
00:18:12,674 --> 00:18:14,550
-Hi, Mike.
-Good to see you, Frank.
246
00:18:14,718 --> 00:18:16,219
Me too!
247
00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:18,471
-Captain MacDaniel.
-How are you?
248
00:18:18,722 --> 00:18:20,807
-l got the Jeep right over here.
-Fine.
249
00:18:21,058 --> 00:18:23,684
Captain, will you see
the men get all their gear?
250
00:18:32,694 --> 00:18:34,821
Here we go. Hop in.
251
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:39,367
-l've been on that plane for hours.
-Rather walk?
252
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,370
-l sure would.
-Good, let's stretch our legs then.
253
00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:46,374
Reynolds, meet us at Colonel Cai's
office and watch that weapon.
254
00:18:46,625 --> 00:18:47,875
Yes, sir!
255
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,347
I'm sure glad it's you relieving me.
256
00:19:01,598 --> 00:19:05,852
-Don't hurry me. l got 3 weeks.
-l know. That was a great idea.
257
00:19:06,103 --> 00:19:08,771
-How's your back?
-Coming along slow but sure.
258
00:19:09,022 --> 00:19:12,275
Be glad when I can move around
and burn off some of this.
259
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:29,542
-This truck for us?
-Yes, sir.
260
00:19:29,710 --> 00:19:31,294
That's service.
261
00:19:31,962 --> 00:19:34,130
Okay, grab your gear.
262
00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:46,309
Arthur E. Fuller. l knew that guy.
263
00:19:46,602 --> 00:19:50,688
Named a field after him.
He won the Distinguished Service Cross.
264
00:19:50,939 --> 00:19:52,690
Posthumously.
265
00:19:53,775 --> 00:19:55,735
Better grab your gear.
266
00:19:56,612 --> 00:19:58,529
Yeah.
267
00:19:59,406 --> 00:20:02,992
I suppose you'll take
the long way back home.
268
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:06,704
Go through Hong Kong, pick up
a little yardage, some screens.
269
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:08,581
No, I don't think so.
270
00:20:08,832 --> 00:20:12,793
My wife said not to bring anything
she couldn't either cook or play with.
271
00:20:13,045 --> 00:20:15,796
-What's my opposite number like?
-His name's Colonel Cai.
272
00:20:16,089 --> 00:20:20,301
He's a good man. Resourceful,
intelligent and has a lot of initiative.
273
00:20:20,552 --> 00:20:23,429
KlRBY: Outstanding?
MORGAN: Outstanding.
274
00:20:29,937 --> 00:20:32,647
-Chung See Bado. Good to see you.
-Thank you, sir.
275
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:34,523
Glad you're in the outfit.
276
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:40,112
Smart looking honor guard.
I recognize most of them.
277
00:20:40,364 --> 00:20:43,324
-Even those you don't, know about you.
-How come?
278
00:20:43,617 --> 00:20:45,409
MORGAN:
They got the word.
279
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:55,586
MORGAN:
Good afternoon.
280
00:20:55,837 --> 00:20:57,255
Good afternoon.
281
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:00,591
Colonel Cai, Colonel Kirby.
282
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:03,719
-l'm happy to make your acquaintance.
-Thank you.
283
00:21:03,971 --> 00:21:05,513
Sit down.
284
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:09,767
I have heard much about you
from Colonel Morgan and others.
285
00:21:10,143 --> 00:21:14,689
If half of what I've heard is true,
I'm positive we'll work well together.
286
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:19,777
We build many camps,
clobber many V.C. Affirmative?
287
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:22,780
Affirmative.
I like the way you talk.
288
00:21:23,031 --> 00:21:24,907
Let me get to the point.
289
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:29,203
We have two new camps.
Here and here.
290
00:21:29,579 --> 00:21:32,123
This one is all right.
Everything is STRAC...
291
00:21:32,374 --> 00:21:35,543
...a full complement of
Montagnards and Special Forces.
292
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:36,877
And the other one?
293
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:38,796
Camp A-1 07...
294
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:42,091
...code name two-niner Savoy.
295
00:21:42,342 --> 00:21:45,845
This camp we build
in the heart of V.C. country.
296
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:47,805
One day is nothing.
297
00:21:48,056 --> 00:21:51,767
Next day we are there.
Big surprise for V.C.
298
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:56,105
Unfortunately, "A" camp 1 07
is only about half-finished.
299
00:21:56,356 --> 00:22:00,484
The Viet Cong hit it with mortar fire
3 or 4 times a week.
300
00:22:00,736 --> 00:22:05,281
The villagers tell us that the V.C. are
making a big buildup across the border.
301
00:22:05,532 --> 00:22:09,243
We're hoping that weather does not
keep us from having air support.
302
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:11,954
Without it, Charlie can
overrun the camp.
303
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:15,541
The "A" team's tour of duty
will be up in 1 0 days.
304
00:22:15,792 --> 00:22:20,504
That puts that camp between the rock
and the hard place until it's completed.
305
00:22:20,756 --> 00:22:23,591
I brought 2 "A" detachments with me.
I could...
306
00:22:23,842 --> 00:22:26,135
...leave one here to form
a Mike Force...
307
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:28,763
...and take the other up
for replacements.
308
00:22:29,097 --> 00:22:31,057
I think it's a good idea.
309
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:35,478
I have to pay my respects
to the general at 1 500.
310
00:22:35,729 --> 00:22:37,897
-Nice to have met you.
-Likewise.
311
00:22:38,148 --> 00:22:40,107
See you later, colonel.
312
00:22:50,535 --> 00:22:51,827
KlRBY:
Hey, Provo!
313
00:22:51,995 --> 00:22:54,538
-Sorry, l didn't see you.
-That's all right.
314
00:22:54,706 --> 00:22:57,500
-Everyone looks at pretty girls.
-l wasn't looking at them.
315
00:22:57,751 --> 00:22:59,919
I was thinking about that sign there.
316
00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:03,130
KlRBY:
"In Honor of William J. Wallace."
317
00:23:03,757 --> 00:23:06,926
I noticed the buildings
and streets around here...
318
00:23:07,177 --> 00:23:09,470
...got the names of heroes on them.
319
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:11,263
Dead heroes.
320
00:23:11,515 --> 00:23:14,016
It kind of sets a man to thinking.
321
00:23:14,267 --> 00:23:15,893
That it does.
322
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:19,480
-And I also think we better get moving.
-Yes, sir!
323
00:23:41,336 --> 00:23:42,461
You all right?
324
00:23:42,712 --> 00:23:45,131
I'm still thinking
about them nameplates.
325
00:23:45,382 --> 00:23:47,758
The ones about soldiers
killed in action.
326
00:23:48,009 --> 00:23:51,512
My worry is my name don't fit
any of our buildings or streets.
327
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:54,890
You got a real worry there.
Must be tough...
328
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:56,809
...having a problem like that.
329
00:23:57,060 --> 00:24:00,396
"Provo's Barracks," "Provo's
Commissary." You see what l mean?
330
00:24:00,647 --> 00:24:03,315
-No.
-lt just don't sing.
331
00:24:03,567 --> 00:24:06,777
If you think of something
that does sing, you let us know.
332
00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:08,821
We'd want you to have the best.
333
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:11,866
Thank you, sir. l appreciate that.
334
00:24:36,224 --> 00:24:37,933
BECKWORTH:
Colonel?
335
00:24:42,564 --> 00:24:44,899
Colonel? Colonel?
336
00:24:46,568 --> 00:24:47,735
Remember me?
337
00:24:48,361 --> 00:24:50,237
-George--
-Beckworth.
338
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:52,990
This is Colonel Morgan.
339
00:24:54,075 --> 00:24:56,827
I took your suggestion.
I came to see for myself.
340
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:58,037
Good for you.
341
00:24:58,205 --> 00:25:00,998
They said at Group l could go,
but it'd be up to you.
342
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:04,585
-What do you think, colonel?
-Pretty hairy operation.
343
00:25:04,836 --> 00:25:08,964
I don't think this area's ready
for writers. Hate to get one greased.
344
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:11,926
-ls that the real reason?
-Come again?
345
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:14,386
My paper believes
we shouldn't be in Vietnam.
346
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:17,598
Afraid I'll see something
to substantiate that belief?
347
00:25:19,226 --> 00:25:20,768
Be my guest.
348
00:25:26,066 --> 00:25:27,942
-Frank.
-Good luck, Mike.
349
00:26:06,856 --> 00:26:11,527
With joyous memories,
we leave the mystical city of Da Nang!
350
00:26:11,945 --> 00:26:14,947
What gay adventure lies ahead!
351
00:26:15,115 --> 00:26:16,156
Brother...
352
00:26:16,324 --> 00:26:20,286
...this trip is going to make
LSD feel like aspirin.
353
00:26:20,537 --> 00:26:21,829
Mr. Beckworth...
354
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,206
...you going to write about us?
355
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:27,543
-That's right.
-What are you going to say?
356
00:26:28,587 --> 00:26:29,795
I don't know yet.
357
00:26:53,778 --> 00:26:55,654
Man, oh, man!
358
00:26:55,905 --> 00:26:59,617
Look at all those trees down there.
My dog could go crazy!
359
00:26:59,868 --> 00:27:04,330
We have "A" teams out along
the Cambodian and Laotian borders.
360
00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:08,417
They each built their own camp.
We're headed for one of those now...
361
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:10,628
...Camp A-1 07.
362
00:27:22,057 --> 00:27:23,974
There's our destination.
363
00:28:52,063 --> 00:28:54,648
-Colonel. Good to see you again.
-Captain. Thanks.
364
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,483
You know Lieutenant Sachs.
365
00:28:56,735 --> 00:29:01,196
-Captain MacDaniel, your replacement.
-That's good to hear.
366
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:05,451
Sergeant Kenny, pick up
the extra gear and the mail.
367
00:29:05,702 --> 00:29:08,746
If you gentlemen will follow me,
we'll get inside.
368
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:40,611
KlRBY: You got about a 1 50-foot
killing area here, captain.
369
00:29:41,237 --> 00:29:46,074
The first thing l'd do would be
to cut that back another 300 feet.
370
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:49,828
We've been wanting to do that,
but we've been short of help.
371
00:29:50,079 --> 00:29:54,625
We tried to get some engineers. They're
all busy. But I requested some Seabees.
372
00:29:54,876 --> 00:29:59,588
If that detachment ever gets here,
you put them on that first thing.
373
00:30:02,383 --> 00:30:04,468
KENNY:
Mail call!
374
00:30:08,598 --> 00:30:11,099
-Dodge City?
-Yeah.
375
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:13,435
You can buy it cheap.
376
00:30:26,741 --> 00:30:28,659
Those what they call Punji sticks?
377
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:31,745
SERGEANT: Yes, it's a little trick
we learned from Charlie.
378
00:30:32,747 --> 00:30:35,916
But we don't dip them
in the same stuff he does.
379
00:30:44,968 --> 00:30:49,596
You'd increase the effectiveness
of that concertina with more tanglefoot.
380
00:30:52,225 --> 00:30:54,101
-Got any more of them?
-Yes, sir.
381
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:57,563
-Double the number.
-We'll get right on it.
382
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:04,736
KlRBY:
Bring us up to date.
383
00:31:04,988 --> 00:31:09,616
They mortared us again last night.
It's becoming a fairly regular thing.
384
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:13,912
-How many operations are out?
-Three recon and 2 ambush.
385
00:31:14,163 --> 00:31:18,709
-And that counterpart of yours--
-Captain Nim. He's out with a patrol.
386
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,255
The one that just got zapped.
He'll be in tomorrow with 3 wounded.
387
00:31:23,506 --> 00:31:26,758
-Will you be staying awhile?
-l'll be in camp, off and on.
388
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:30,721
We fixed a place for you in the commo
bunker. Not much, but it's dry.
389
00:31:30,972 --> 00:31:32,347
Good.
390
00:31:33,266 --> 00:31:35,601
After mail call,
I've assigned my men...
391
00:31:35,852 --> 00:31:38,520
...to get Captain MacDaniel's team
bedded down.
392
00:31:40,023 --> 00:31:41,356
It's a newspaperman.
393
00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:48,822
This is Captain Coleman. Mr. Beckworth
is with the Chronicle-Herald.
394
00:31:49,073 --> 00:31:51,241
-Can you find a spot for him?
-Affirmative.
395
00:31:51,492 --> 00:31:52,534
Sergeant Kenny.
396
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:55,954
Take Mr. Beckworth here to my hooch.
Get him squared away.
397
00:31:56,205 --> 00:31:57,414
Thank you.
398
00:31:58,499 --> 00:32:00,042
This way, Mr. Beckworth.
399
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:01,710
Can l give you a hand?
400
00:32:07,842 --> 00:32:10,385
If it's all right,
we'll stay with the team.
401
00:32:10,553 --> 00:32:11,762
Fine.
402
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,104
This way, sir.
403
00:32:25,818 --> 00:32:30,322
The captain has the bottom bunk. We'll
get somebody to make this one for you.
404
00:32:30,990 --> 00:32:33,909
-ls there drinking water?
-l don't know if it's cold.
405
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,953
It'll be fine, thank you.
406
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:51,510
HOBSON: You've got a pad in the storage
bunker. You can have mine in a few days.
407
00:32:51,761 --> 00:32:53,887
I hope. To the right here.
408
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:58,266
You funny!
409
00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:02,062
You've made Hamchunk's "A" Club.
410
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:05,649
You funny!
411
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:08,360
You not.
412
00:33:10,571 --> 00:33:12,864
This is Hamchunk.
413
00:33:16,452 --> 00:33:19,663
He's become a permanent fixture here.
He's an orphan.
414
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:23,959
Lived with some missionaries
about 1 0 clicks south of here...
415
00:33:24,210 --> 00:33:28,046
...till they were assassinated.
Maybe you could use an interpreter.
416
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:31,550
-Missionaries taught him English.
-l don't want an interpreter.
417
00:33:31,801 --> 00:33:33,844
You number one. l choose you.
418
00:33:34,637 --> 00:33:36,847
I don't want to be chosen.
419
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:41,268
-l don't think you have much choice.
-Choice, Mr. Hobson?
420
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:45,188
I haven't had a choice
since I was selected for this...
421
00:33:45,606 --> 00:33:46,648
...outfit.
422
00:33:46,816 --> 00:33:48,483
You get used to me.
423
00:33:48,776 --> 00:33:50,444
You funny.
424
00:33:50,778 --> 00:33:52,988
-You--
-ln here.
425
00:34:03,291 --> 00:34:05,792
What's the status
of your crew-served weapons?
426
00:34:06,044 --> 00:34:09,296
We have two 81 s, four 60s...
427
00:34:09,547 --> 00:34:12,924
...twelve .30 calibers,
three on each wall.
428
00:34:13,176 --> 00:34:17,679
One 4-deuce. Besides crew-served,
we have six M-79's.
429
00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:19,681
No .50 calibers?
430
00:34:19,932 --> 00:34:23,560
I'd give an R and R in Bangkok
for the smell of a .50.
431
00:34:23,770 --> 00:34:25,645
KlRBY: You hear that, sergeant?
-Yes, sir.
432
00:34:25,813 --> 00:34:27,814
-Know where there are any .50's?
MULDOON: No, sir.
433
00:34:27,982 --> 00:34:32,027
Neither do I.
You better tell Sergeant Petersen.
434
00:34:32,278 --> 00:34:35,655
I almost forgot. Captain MacDaniel
needs corrugated tin.
435
00:34:35,907 --> 00:34:38,366
-lt's been hard to come by lately.
-Sergeant.
436
00:34:38,659 --> 00:34:43,413
Yes, sir. I know.
"Tell Petersen. Tell the scrounger."
437
00:34:44,290 --> 00:34:45,749
Petersen!
438
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:51,671
What happens if Charlie hits this camp
before you get it completed?
439
00:34:52,298 --> 00:34:56,301
If he does, and he's too strong
for us to handle...
440
00:34:56,552 --> 00:35:01,306
...we have 3 LZs within 4 clicks to
send 1 0 choppers each to reinforce us.
441
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:05,644
One is by that shale cliff
you saw on your way in.
442
00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:08,688
And the second is to the west of here...
443
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:12,901
...near a deserted Montagnard village
where some of these people used to live.
444
00:35:13,152 --> 00:35:17,322
The third is to the north,
near an old bridge.
445
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:20,158
What if Charlie overruns the camp?
446
00:35:21,494 --> 00:35:22,994
In that case, sir...
447
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:26,289
...the camp is prepared
to escape and evade on order...
448
00:35:26,541 --> 00:35:29,000
...through places
in the wire and mines...
449
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:31,753
...only "A" Team
and Captain Nim know about.
450
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:34,548
-My compliments.
-Thank you, sir.
451
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:41,680
Commander of this area
runs everything by the book.
452
00:35:41,931 --> 00:35:44,391
And l am with him to the nth degree.
453
00:35:44,642 --> 00:35:48,270
And every piece of this equipment
will be painted.
454
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:52,357
And every piece of this equipment
will be numbered.
455
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:54,067
And every--
456
00:35:57,822 --> 00:35:59,906
What in the hell is that?
457
00:36:21,721 --> 00:36:24,431
BECKWORTH: You make good coffee.
-Cholong coffee.
458
00:36:28,352 --> 00:36:30,979
AMA: More coffee, sergeant?
MULDOON: No, thanks.
459
00:36:32,523 --> 00:36:33,732
GRlFFIN:
Brother!
460
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:37,360
Boy, is it miserable out there!
461
00:36:37,612 --> 00:36:42,199
And believe me, it's sure in hell
stay-awake weather.
462
00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:44,367
Don't you men have rain gear?
463
00:36:44,869 --> 00:36:48,371
Yeah, but it doesn't
do any good in this lousy climate.
464
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:06,973
COLLlER:
Skipper! Savoy 3 is on the horn, sir.
465
00:37:10,019 --> 00:37:12,103
Savoy 3 to Savoy 6.
466
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:14,606
NIM [OVER RADlO]:
This is Savoy 3.
467
00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:17,442
I'm nearing home base.
I've thrown smoke.
468
00:37:17,693 --> 00:37:19,444
can you identify?
469
00:37:19,695 --> 00:37:21,488
COLEMAN:
I see the red smoke.
470
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:23,823
Come on in.
471
00:37:24,116 --> 00:37:25,283
Out.
472
00:37:30,289 --> 00:37:31,957
COLEMAN:
Give them a hand.
473
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:35,835
-Morning, Max, Collier.
-Morning, sir.
474
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:39,923
-Hell of a mess!
-Looks like we'll float away.
475
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:42,467
What's this outfit coming in?
476
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:45,637
COLEMAN: That's Captain Nim,
your counterpart...
477
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:48,765
...with a patrol that just got zapped.
478
00:37:49,225 --> 00:37:50,684
-Joe.
-Yes, sir.
479
00:37:50,893 --> 00:37:54,771
Alert the dispensary.
Tell them casualties are coming in.
480
00:37:55,564 --> 00:37:58,066
I'll go find Colonel Kirby.
481
00:38:32,101 --> 00:38:33,768
It was a close one.
482
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,440
LlEUTENANT: Get those casualties over
to the dispensary. Let's go. Snap it up!
483
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:40,942
The rest of you...
484
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,905
...get some dry clothes and chow.
Report for debriefing.
485
00:38:47,074 --> 00:38:48,283
Move it out!
486
00:38:48,534 --> 00:38:49,951
Fill me in.
487
00:38:50,202 --> 00:38:52,620
As you know,
we were hit yesterday.
488
00:38:52,872 --> 00:38:54,539
Three casualties.
489
00:38:54,832 --> 00:38:57,417
This is sure Charlie's weather!
490
00:38:57,793 --> 00:38:59,794
But they didn't follow us.
491
00:39:00,046 --> 00:39:02,255
-You sure?
-Affirmative.
492
00:39:04,258 --> 00:39:08,053
Skipper, l would like
to look after my casualties.
493
00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:10,513
Sure. Come on.
494
00:39:25,571 --> 00:39:27,947
KlRBY: What's the situation?
COLEMAN: He's all right.
495
00:39:28,115 --> 00:39:29,991
MEDIC:
More painful than serious, sir.
496
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,912
Colonel, l want you to meet
the camp commander.
497
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,122
-Oh!
-Dai Uy Nim.
498
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:38,291
KlRBY:
Stay where you are, Dai Uy.
499
00:39:38,584 --> 00:39:39,709
Tran Nim.
500
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,046
I've read your name on many reports.
You're very active.
501
00:39:43,339 --> 00:39:45,256
We try, sir.
502
00:39:45,674 --> 00:39:48,510
Meet your new
counterpart, Captain MacDaniel.
503
00:39:48,969 --> 00:39:52,597
Welcome. We will have a good post
here when it is finished.
504
00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:54,307
MacDANlEL:
I've no doubt, Dai Uy.
505
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:56,601
Your outfit looks pretty beat up.
506
00:39:57,812 --> 00:40:01,856
-Eleven days is a long patrol.
-We're short of men.
507
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,735
We've got everything we need
except strikers.
508
00:40:06,153 --> 00:40:07,779
What seems to be the trouble?
509
00:40:08,030 --> 00:40:13,076
The natives have been so exploited,
they won't trust anyone with a gun.
510
00:40:13,369 --> 00:40:17,497
Same old story. How many villages
are there in the vicinity?
511
00:40:17,748 --> 00:40:20,875
We've got 7.
There were 5.
512
00:40:21,127 --> 00:40:23,002
And we've got 2 in camp.
513
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:27,132
If you got all the villagers in,
what would that do for you?
514
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:29,634
That'd give us 300-500.
515
00:40:29,927 --> 00:40:32,220
Better get on the Psy War about this.
516
00:40:32,471 --> 00:40:33,721
NIM:
When you leave, Dai Uy?
517
00:40:33,973 --> 00:40:36,433
Tomorrow. Hopefully.
518
00:40:36,892 --> 00:40:39,894
Da Nang, Nha Trang,
Saigon and home!
519
00:40:41,689 --> 00:40:44,023
My home is in Hanoi.
520
00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:46,192
I go home too someday.
521
00:40:46,735 --> 00:40:48,111
You see.
522
00:40:49,196 --> 00:40:52,740
First, kill all stinking Cong.
523
00:40:53,701 --> 00:40:55,034
Then go home.
524
00:40:58,956 --> 00:41:00,498
Will there be anything else?
525
00:41:01,792 --> 00:41:03,084
That's all, Nim.
526
00:41:03,335 --> 00:41:04,669
NIM:
Thank you, sir.
527
00:41:09,049 --> 00:41:11,092
He sounds like he means it.
528
00:41:11,343 --> 00:41:14,512
He keeps score
on the wall of his hooch.
529
00:41:14,889 --> 00:41:17,765
He personally greased 52 this year.
530
00:41:18,017 --> 00:41:19,350
Says he'll double it...
531
00:41:19,643 --> 00:41:23,646
...if all the 'Yards will get out of his
way and give him a clear field of fire.
532
00:41:25,399 --> 00:41:29,777
I noticed a load of corrugated tin's
miraculously appeared overnight.
533
00:41:30,070 --> 00:41:32,071
Sergeant Petersen provided it.
534
00:41:32,364 --> 00:41:34,032
A good man you got there.
535
00:41:34,283 --> 00:41:36,326
Sergeant Petersen say where he got it?
536
00:41:36,577 --> 00:41:39,037
He said the good fairy left it.
537
00:41:39,288 --> 00:41:42,916
I hope he said,
"The good fairy left it, sir!"
538
00:41:43,209 --> 00:41:46,044
Captain, will you join us
in the commo bunker?
539

MacDANlEL: Good evening, colonel.
KlRBY: Relax. Sit down.
540

-My, it's a beautiful evening.
MacDANlEL: That it is.
541

543
00:42:10,110 --> 00:42:12,445
This would be great country...
544
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:14,906
...if it weren't for the war.
545
00:42:15,366 --> 00:42:17,283
And the damn monsoons.
546
00:42:31,465 --> 00:42:33,341
Give me a beer, Petersen.
547
00:42:33,592 --> 00:42:35,593
You won it all.
548
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:40,598
PARKS: Mr. Petersen?
-Yeah.
549
00:42:40,808 --> 00:42:42,559
Why ain't you in this game?
550
00:42:42,851 --> 00:42:45,770
Mr. Beckworth showed him 3 aces.
551
00:42:51,443 --> 00:42:55,196
Be sure and check the guard roster
before you turn in.
552
00:42:55,406 --> 00:42:56,698
MEN:
Yes, sir.
553
00:42:57,283 --> 00:42:59,325
-Good night.
MEN: Good night, sir.
554
00:43:05,249 --> 00:43:06,457
Where's McGee?
555
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,712
Doc, you got the 4-to-6 watch.
556
00:43:11,005 --> 00:43:12,964
Delightful. Thank you.
557
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:16,217
Jim Beam!
You're not feeding him that stuff?
558
00:43:16,468 --> 00:43:18,011
You sure it's good for him?
559
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:20,096
You questioning...
560
00:43:20,723 --> 00:43:22,932
...my professional competence?
561
00:43:23,350 --> 00:43:24,976
He sure looks bad.
562
00:43:25,227 --> 00:43:26,978
He's dying, poor old thing.
563
00:43:27,229 --> 00:43:30,148
-Can't even eat anymore.
-What seems to be wrong?
564
00:43:30,399 --> 00:43:34,694
I'm not the best doctor in the world,
but I'm the best one without a license.
565
00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:39,198
My diagnosis is plague,
tuberculosis, old age...
566
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,867
...and no hope.
567
00:43:41,118 --> 00:43:42,744
He's tired.
568
00:43:42,995 --> 00:43:44,579
Bone tired.
569
00:44:00,721 --> 00:44:02,388
SOLDlER:
The captain's in there!
570
00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:10,229
Check the damage in the dispensary!
571
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:14,692
Everything's all right here, colonel!
A near miss, but nobody hurt.
572
00:44:17,029 --> 00:44:19,656
-l think they've stopped.
-Yes, sir.
573
00:44:20,366 --> 00:44:21,991
This is the usual procedure.
574
00:44:22,242 --> 00:44:25,203
About every other night.
Harassment.
575
00:44:26,997 --> 00:44:28,748
It's pretty good shooting.
576
00:44:28,999 --> 00:44:32,669
Commo bunker,
the dispensary, the team house.
577
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,089
It's a sure thing that they
have eyes inside our camp.
578
00:44:39,593 --> 00:44:41,719
MacDANlEL: Check your gear.
Commo bunker was hit.
579
00:44:41,970 --> 00:44:45,431
Lieutenant Green,
form a recon patrol, ASAP!
580
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:47,350
GREEN:
Petersen, come with me.

00:44:48,227 --> 00:44:49,268
MacDANlEL:
Who is it?
582
00:44:49,436 --> 00:44:51,187
It's the captain, sir.
583
00:44:51,897 --> 00:44:53,564
Better...
584
00:44:53,774 --> 00:44:55,108
...move him out of there.
585
00:44:57,611 --> 00:44:58,778
Colonel Kirby!
586
00:44:58,946 --> 00:45:01,739
KlRBY:
Yo! Be right there.
587
00:45:24,888 --> 00:45:28,224
He was going to go home
tomorrow, wasn't he, sir?
588
00:45:31,186 --> 00:45:32,895
All the way.
589
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:57,336
PlLOT: What do we got, 1 0 pounders?
GREEN: 1 0-pound warheads, sir.
590
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:03,426
MULDOON: Ready to go hunting?
PlLOT: Be a couple of minutes yet.
591
00:46:08,098 --> 00:46:10,975
We'll be gone about 3 hours.
Mind the store.
592
00:46:11,351 --> 00:46:12,393
Don't worry.
593
00:46:12,561 --> 00:46:15,146
SAVOY 8 [OVER RADIO]:
Two-niner Savoy.
594
00:46:15,314 --> 00:46:17,565
This is Savoy 8. Over.
595
00:46:17,983 --> 00:46:20,777
Savoy 8, this is Savoy 5. Over.
596
00:46:21,028 --> 00:46:23,279
This is Savoy 8. I'm nearing the camp.
597
00:46:23,530 --> 00:46:26,866
Have thrown smoke. Identify.
598
00:46:27,117 --> 00:46:28,743
Savoy 8, this is Savoy 5.
599
00:46:29,286 --> 00:46:30,912
I see green smoke.
600
00:46:31,163 --> 00:46:32,830
Come on in. Out.
601
00:46:34,833 --> 00:46:36,918
We better get out of the way.
602
00:46:55,437 --> 00:46:58,147
Those choppers are very important
out here, aren't they?
603
00:46:58,398 --> 00:47:00,775
Couldn't win this war without them.
604
00:47:04,238 --> 00:47:05,363
Captain.
605
00:47:06,073 --> 00:47:10,076
I'm sort of new out here.
What's this all about?
606
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,664
Muldoon and MacDaniel,
in those choppers...
607
00:47:14,915 --> 00:47:19,418
...fly low over the treetops
and hope to draw V.C. gunfire.
608
00:47:25,217 --> 00:47:27,885
You mean there are V.C. that close?
609
00:47:29,221 --> 00:47:30,304
Yes.
610
00:47:30,556 --> 00:47:34,559
Mr. Beckworth, I have V.C.
in my own strike force.
611
00:47:34,935 --> 00:47:38,437
Pardon me.
I have to check the perimeter.
612
00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:06,632
There they are,
building a boat bridge.
613
00:48:06,925 --> 00:48:09,468
MacDANlEL: They're not Cong,
they're hard-core regulars.
614
00:49:30,050 --> 00:49:31,092
Petersen...
615
00:49:32,594 --> 00:49:33,678
...you worry me.
616
00:49:34,596 --> 00:49:37,348
Three tours of duty and you're
still acting like a civilian.
617
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:40,851
Sergeant Muldoon, l'm not a Marine.
618
00:49:41,103 --> 00:49:43,145
I believe in my comfort.
619
00:49:45,273 --> 00:49:47,858
We got the tin.
620
00:49:48,276 --> 00:49:49,777
What about the .50 caliber?
621
00:49:50,153 --> 00:49:52,113
Don't worry. Next drop.
622
00:49:52,948 --> 00:49:53,990
How'd you do it?
623
00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:56,575
A guy in Khe Sahn
wanted 2 cases of bourbon.
624
00:49:56,827 --> 00:49:59,620
Bourbon! How'd you get
2 cases of bourbon?
625
00:49:59,871 --> 00:50:01,789
From a straight leg
in supply in Bien Hoa.
626
00:50:02,165 --> 00:50:03,624
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
627
00:50:04,584 --> 00:50:06,752
Why would he give you
that much booze?
628
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,964
He didn't give it to me.
I traded him for it.
629
00:50:10,882 --> 00:50:12,049
Traded him what?
630
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:15,469
I traded him a Montagnard crossbow...
631
00:50:15,721 --> 00:50:18,556
...a number one address
on Chu Do Street...
632
00:50:18,807 --> 00:50:20,558
...and a pair of Ho Chi Minh sandals.
633
00:50:20,809 --> 00:50:23,769
And where did you get
a pair of Ho Chi Minh sandals?
634
00:50:24,938 --> 00:50:25,980
I made them.
635
00:50:27,858 --> 00:50:30,818
I work hard.
I've gone to church.
636
00:50:31,069 --> 00:50:32,862
I was a Boy Scout.
637
00:50:33,113 --> 00:50:34,864
I was an Eagle Scout!
638
00:50:35,449 --> 00:50:36,991
He's funny!
639
00:50:37,409 --> 00:50:39,577

00:50:44,666 --> 00:50:46,292
Where's...?

00:50:47,294 --> 00:50:48,544
Anywhere.

This is Captain MacDaniel.
647
00:51:58,824 --> 00:52:02,076
We'd have come sooner, but the
Marines wanted a strip up north.
648
00:52:02,327 --> 00:52:05,788
It's going to get a little hairy
around here, Lieutenant...
649

...so we're glad to see you,
late or not.

-Could you move that jungle back for us?
653
00:52:32,190 --> 00:52:34,567
Just say the word,
and l'll move it to China.
654
00:52:34,818 --> 00:52:38,070
We don't need that much.
Just a clear killing zone.
655
00:52:38,446 --> 00:52:40,156
-Will do, sir.
-Watson!
656
00:52:40,323 --> 00:52:42,032

657
00:52:42,284 --> 00:52:44,451
-Thirteen.
-Lucky number.
658
00:52:44,703 --> 00:52:45,953
Thirteen. Hop to it!
659
00:52:46,204 --> 00:52:49,373
-l'd like to run an equipment check.
-Go ahead.

What are the charges?
667
00:54:41,945 --> 00:54:45,948
He was pacing off the distance
between the wall and the team house.
668
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:48,075
We could've caught a round tonight.
669
00:54:48,743 --> 00:54:52,621
I certainly hope you can
prove that, sergeant.

I'll check it.
1024
01:33:40,656 --> 01:33:42,907
Beldo, give me a hand!
1025
01:34:05,473 --> 01:34:06,640
KlRBY:
Fall back!
1026
01:34:39,006 --> 01:34:41,341
KlRBY:
Swing her around 1 80 degrees.
1027
01:34:41,592 --> 01:34:44,594
Give them 4 H.E.
maximum elevation...
1028
01:34:44,845 --> 01:34:47,347
...and destroy the tube. Fall back!
1029
01:35:03,030 --> 01:35:04,948
KlRBY:
Move them out!
1030
01:35:05,324 --> 01:35:07,117
MOORE:
Choppers are on their way.
1031
01:35:10,204 --> 01:35:11,663
SOLDlER:
Keep your heads down!
1032
01:35:14,667 --> 01:35:17,836
-What about the radio?
-Charges are set and it's ready to go.
1033
01:35:18,087 --> 01:35:20,755
-Claymores?
-We got a few spread out.
1034
01:35:21,215 --> 01:35:22,882
KlRBY:
Move out!
1035
01:35:24,009 --> 01:35:26,428
SOLDlERS:
Let's go! Keep it down. Let's move.
1036
01:35:38,983 --> 01:35:40,024
KlRBY:
Everybody...
1037
01:35:40,276 --> 01:35:41,651
...fall back!
1038
01:35:46,323 --> 01:35:48,616
MULDOON:
Choppers are here. Hurry it up!
1039
01:35:49,326 --> 01:35:51,244
SOLDlER:
Head to the landing zone!
1040
01:35:54,874 --> 01:35:57,667
MOORE: Everyone out to LZ green.
KlRBY: Fall back!
1041
01:35:58,836 --> 01:36:01,129
SOLDlER:
Keep moving! Keep moving!
1042
01:36:21,108 --> 01:36:22,776
-Hi, Tom.
-How you doing, Pete?
1043
01:36:23,027 --> 01:36:26,196
Take care of that kid,
no matter what happens.
1044
01:36:26,697 --> 01:36:28,156
Will do, Pete.
1045
01:36:40,711 --> 01:36:42,337
[V.C. CHEERlNG]
1046
01:37:06,862 --> 01:37:08,154
What happened to Nim?
1047
01:37:08,405 --> 01:37:12,534
He bought the farm, sir,
but he took a lot of them with him.
1048
01:37:24,296 --> 01:37:25,380
COSTA:
Colonel Kirby.
1049
01:37:25,548 --> 01:37:27,924
Puff the Magic Dragon's on the horn.
1050
01:37:29,718 --> 01:37:32,470
This is Two-Niner Savoy. Over.
1051
01:37:32,721 --> 01:37:34,764
Puff to ground,
where do you want it?
1052
01:37:35,015 --> 01:37:38,560
Put it on the camp.
Those people have it, we don't.
1053
01:37:39,061 --> 01:37:40,603
It'll only take a minute.
1054
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,300
I think Puff broke their back.
1055
01:38:10,551 --> 01:38:13,595
We can probably move
in there tomorrow...
1056
01:38:13,846 --> 01:38:17,098
...God willing
and the river don't rise.
1057
01:38:58,807 --> 01:39:00,558
MacDANlEL:
What do we do now, sir?
1058
01:39:02,686 --> 01:39:05,313
First we get some sack time.
1059
01:39:07,524 --> 01:39:10,151
Then we start all over again.
1060
01:39:10,819 --> 01:39:12,570
-Muldoon.
-Sir?
1061
01:39:12,780 --> 01:39:16,366
Check the perimeter. Make sure
the outposts are set for the night.
1062
01:39:45,312 --> 01:39:47,522
I guess it couldn't
have been much worse.
1063
01:39:48,732 --> 01:39:50,274
We're still alive.
1064
01:39:52,903 --> 01:39:54,696
What happens now?
1065
01:39:56,365 --> 01:39:58,616
We keep doing our jobs.
1066
01:39:59,535 --> 01:40:02,161
You got one to go back to,
haven't you?
1067
01:40:03,455 --> 01:40:04,914
I guess so.
1068
01:40:06,166 --> 01:40:08,960
What are you going to say
in your newspaper?
1069
01:40:10,963 --> 01:40:13,423
If l say what I feel,
I may be out of a job.
1070
01:40:15,300 --> 01:40:16,801
We'll always give you one.
1071
01:40:17,302 --> 01:40:20,221
I could do you more good
with a typewriter.
1072
01:40:22,558 --> 01:40:24,892
It's Sergeant Sooby's.
1073
01:40:25,519 --> 01:40:27,103
He didn't make it.
1074
01:40:27,813 --> 01:40:29,147
Funny thing.
1075
01:40:29,857 --> 01:40:33,026
Fellow takes one of these into battle...
1076
01:40:33,610 --> 01:40:37,947
...and by the grace of God
he comes out in one piece...
1077
01:40:39,283 --> 01:40:42,869
...he carries a strange sense of guilt
all the rest of his life.
1078
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:44,704
JAMlSON:
Colonel?
1079
01:40:45,414 --> 01:40:49,083
I'd like permission to take my men
into "A" camp to check our equipment.
1080
01:40:49,334 --> 01:40:53,504
And also, that sergeant who was pretty
badly hit was asking for you. Provo?
1081
01:40:53,797 --> 01:40:55,173
Thank you.
1082
01:40:57,342 --> 01:41:00,803
Captain Johanson
is taking the Mike Force...
1083
01:41:01,055 --> 01:41:04,057
...back this afternoon.
You can go in with him.
1084
01:41:04,558 --> 01:41:07,852
-Happy to have had you aboard.
-Thanks for the ride.
1085
01:41:26,288 --> 01:41:28,039
Why wasn't he on the chopper?
1086
01:41:28,290 --> 01:41:31,167
The wounded go before the dead.
1087
01:41:32,961 --> 01:41:34,837
We thought we'd better
not move him.
1088
01:41:35,089 --> 01:41:37,715
They zapped me good.
1089
01:41:38,425 --> 01:41:40,134
You're not gone yet.
1090
01:41:41,095 --> 01:41:42,845
Would you do me a favor, sir?
1091
01:41:45,390 --> 01:41:47,767
Would you take a touch with me?
1092
01:41:51,146 --> 01:41:52,480
I sure will.
1093
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:11,332
Thank you, sir.
1094
01:42:13,877 --> 01:42:16,212
Another favor, sir?
1095
01:42:16,463 --> 01:42:17,505
What is it?
1096
01:42:18,507 --> 01:42:23,094
You remember the decision I was
trying to make, about my name?
1097
01:42:23,387 --> 01:42:24,470
KlRBY:
The signs?
1098
01:42:25,681 --> 01:42:27,014
I remember.
1099
01:42:51,290 --> 01:42:52,707
That's it.
1100
01:43:07,764 --> 01:43:09,473
There it is, sir.
1101
01:43:10,434 --> 01:43:12,143
You're sure that's what he wanted?
1102
01:43:12,394 --> 01:43:16,689
Affirmative. That's what he wanted
and that's what he's going to get!
1103
01:43:19,484 --> 01:43:24,280
Maybe he liked the idea of having
so many men think about him every day.
1104
01:43:24,531 --> 01:43:25,740
Besides...
1105
01:43:26,033 --> 01:43:27,325
...it sings.
1106
01:43:29,203 --> 01:43:30,870
It sings?
1107
01:43:31,997 --> 01:43:33,623
That's what he said.
1108
01:43:34,166 --> 01:43:35,541
It sings.
1109
01:43:38,170 --> 01:43:40,755
ROBlN:
Provo's Privy. lt does sing!
1110
01:43:45,552 --> 01:43:49,847
Last time we met, Colonel Cai and l were
going to tell you about a plan we had...
1111
01:43:50,098 --> 01:43:52,058
...and "A" camp 1 07 got hit.
1112
01:43:52,601 --> 01:43:55,686
This can't wait till you take over.
I want you briefed.
1113
01:43:55,938 --> 01:43:58,522
-Why way out here?
-This is top secret.
1114
01:43:58,982 --> 01:44:01,317
I repeat, top secret.
1115
01:44:06,281 --> 01:44:07,573
KlRBY:
Colonel Cai.
1116
01:44:09,493 --> 01:44:11,494
-How was Saigon?
-Very interesting.
1117
01:44:11,745 --> 01:44:14,038
I attended a meeting
with the premier and his staff.
1118
01:44:14,373 --> 01:44:17,625
The main subject
was General Pham Son Ti.
1119
01:44:17,834 --> 01:44:21,837
He has assumed command of the
entire Viet Cong forces in the south.
1120
01:44:22,214 --> 01:44:24,006
Which makes him Number One!
1121
01:44:24,258 --> 01:44:27,009
Affirmative.
And it could mean a major offensive.
1122
01:44:27,261 --> 01:44:30,263
I had my hands on him
the last time l was out here.
1123
01:44:30,514 --> 01:44:34,850
But because of political pressure,
I had to turn him loose.
1124
01:44:35,394 --> 01:44:37,353
Like to get your hands on him again?
1125
01:44:37,604 --> 01:44:42,358
Who wouldn't? But if l know General Ti,
he's surrounded by a regiment.
1126
01:44:42,609 --> 01:44:45,820
-My people think several.
-That brings us up to the plan.
1127
01:44:46,321 --> 01:44:48,072
He's somewhere
in Hang Phau Valley.
1128
01:44:48,323 --> 01:44:51,033
Surrounded by the regiments
you mentioned, which makes...
1129
01:44:51,410 --> 01:44:53,119
...a capture impossible.
1130
01:44:53,370 --> 01:44:55,830
Precisely.
Except for one woman...
1131
01:44:56,373 --> 01:44:58,958
...and a certain hand-picked team.
1132
01:45:00,419 --> 01:45:02,211
Go on, colonel.
1133
01:45:04,589 --> 01:45:05,798
This is the rat.
1134
01:45:09,052 --> 01:45:10,803
And this is the trap.
1135
01:45:14,933 --> 01:45:17,393
My father was a simple man.
1136
01:45:18,312 --> 01:45:20,646
All he wanted was to be free...
1137
01:45:21,648 --> 01:45:25,359
...his wife to love,
and his children to raise.
1138
01:45:25,610 --> 01:45:29,780
He tried to remain neutral.
That was his mistake.
1139
01:45:31,199 --> 01:45:33,868
What he didn't realize...
1140
01:45:34,119 --> 01:45:37,038
...was that man has to pay a price
for that freedom.
1141
01:45:38,623 --> 01:45:41,834
Therefore, he suffered
the ultimate penalty.
1142
01:45:43,962 --> 01:45:46,005
Since that day...
1143
01:45:46,840 --> 01:45:49,383
...l've lived but with one thought:
1144
01:45:49,968 --> 01:45:53,220
To find the man who ordered
my father and little brother murdered.
1145
01:45:55,807 --> 01:45:57,183
I found him.
1146
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:00,853
His name is Pham Son Ti.
1147
01:46:02,272 --> 01:46:04,398
And l will give him to you.
1148
01:46:05,317 --> 01:46:06,359
When?
1149
01:46:06,818 --> 01:46:10,571
One week from tonight,
at the old Costeau Plantation.
1150
01:46:11,031 --> 01:46:13,324
Colonel Cai knows where it is.
1151
01:46:29,299 --> 01:46:30,841
Colonel...
1152
01:46:31,009 --> 01:46:33,677
...how much do you know about this girl?
1153
01:46:33,929 --> 01:46:37,264
Her father and General Ti's father
grew up together.
1154
01:46:37,516 --> 01:46:39,892
Their families were very close.
1155
01:46:40,143 --> 01:46:42,686
Even before he moved to Hanoi...
1156
01:46:42,938 --> 01:46:45,648
...he had more
than a friendly interest in Lin.
1157
01:46:45,899 --> 01:46:47,316
Do you trust her?
1158
01:46:47,567 --> 01:46:49,193
Of course.
1159
01:46:50,821 --> 01:46:52,947
She's my brother's wife.
1160
01:47:17,556 --> 01:47:21,851
Let's see, it's 0400.
That means we'll hit the drop zone...
1161
01:47:22,102 --> 01:47:25,479
...around a little after sunrise.
1162
01:47:26,106 --> 01:47:27,148
Everything set?
1163
01:47:27,399 --> 01:47:29,942
Your gear's on board
with Colonel Cai's.
1164
01:47:30,193 --> 01:47:32,111
KlRBY:
Thank you. Let's get aboard.
1165
01:47:32,362 --> 01:47:35,906
MULDOON: You heard the man.
Stick formation. Let's go.
1166
01:47:37,284 --> 01:47:39,493
-Keep your head down.
-Don't worry.
1167
01:47:40,162 --> 01:47:43,038
Colonel Cai, you haven't
said a word all night.
1168
01:47:43,290 --> 01:47:46,625
You know why?
He's never jumped before.
1169
01:47:46,877 --> 01:47:48,419
First one's easy.
1170
01:47:48,670 --> 01:47:51,755
It's the second one
that's hard to get them to make.
1171
01:47:53,508 --> 01:47:54,967
Colonel?
1172
01:48:17,282 --> 01:48:19,450
MULDOON:
We'll use the alternative plan Bravo?
1173
01:48:19,701 --> 01:48:20,951
KlRBY:
Right.
1174
01:48:21,661 --> 01:48:23,412
MULDOON:
Alternative plan Bravo!
1175
01:48:23,663 --> 01:48:25,581
Kowalski, that means you take point.
1176
01:48:25,832 --> 01:48:28,459
If you see anything,
don't let them spot you. Freeze!
1177
01:48:28,752 --> 01:48:31,587
-Let us know. Got it?
-Got it.
1178
01:48:39,221 --> 01:48:40,638
One minute to drop, sir.
1179
01:48:56,279 --> 01:48:59,031
The recon was a success.
1180
01:48:59,366 --> 01:49:03,160
Probably be no trouble.
But the word is alert!
1181
01:49:03,954 --> 01:49:05,120
Get ready.
1182
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:08,249
Port side...
1183
01:49:08,500 --> 01:49:10,167
...stand up.
1184
01:49:17,342 --> 01:49:19,593
Starboard side, stand up.
1185
01:49:23,348 --> 01:49:24,723
Hook up.
1186
01:49:27,477 --> 01:49:29,144
Stand in the door.
1187
01:49:39,614 --> 01:49:45,160
Go!
1188
01:49:58,341 --> 01:49:59,425
You ready?
1189
01:50:22,616 --> 01:50:25,868
Kowalski's got about
a 5 minute start on us.
1190
01:50:26,119 --> 01:50:28,579
WATSON: Lieutenant Moore sprained
his ankle badly.
1191
01:50:28,830 --> 01:50:32,833
Moore, you'd better stay here
with the skylift detail.
1192
