00:03:00Hey man, you got a girlfriend?
00:03:03Yeah, no, I'm good.
00:03:06Boom, boom, you want special pride?
00:03:08Dee, Dee, Dee, Dee.
00:03:09You speak Vietnamese?
00:03:11Enough to give me a little ass and grass if I wanted.
00:03:14You full of shit, Felix.
00:03:23That's what you were like?
00:03:24One, no I ain't.
00:03:26Two, quit calling me Casper, you know I hate that shit.
00:03:30Seriously, man, what's up with you?
00:03:38Two.
00:03:39Aw, come on, man, have one.
00:03:41I'm having a beer, motherfucker,
00:03:42I'm talking about Charlie, 2VC.
00:03:45Out in the shit?
00:03:47Yes, out in the shit.
00:03:49Just 2VC.
00:03:50That ain't nothing new, Casper.
00:03:52You've been out in the shit as long as any of us.
00:03:54Charlie sits in the hooch and waits on a couple of GIs
00:03:56to walk by, and then, poof,
00:03:57pulls a machine gun out of his ass and lays waste.
00:04:01You just gotta look sharp.
00:04:02You can't look sharp for a hole in the ground.
00:04:04Who's watching who's back?
00:04:06Who's watching Whitaker's back?
00:04:08You got something you wanna say?
00:04:09Whitaker wasn't anybody's fault
00:04:11until the VCs that got the jump on us.
00:04:14I'm saying who's got our backs.
00:04:17You think it's Lieutenant Sutter?
00:04:19Or Meeks with the heavy?
00:04:21Who do you think put Whitaker on point to begin with?
00:04:23It was his rotation.
00:04:25That's Whitaker, right there before he bought the phone.
00:04:31That's my back ass.
00:04:36And these two motherfuckers is y'all.
00:04:42And then right behind us is Lieutenant Sutter,
00:04:44over here sniffing up Joe's ass.
00:04:48And here's Dan, Archie, and Meeks.
00:04:53You notice something weird about that?
00:04:55It's random.
00:04:59Or a bunch of Negroes sitting on point
00:05:01taking Charlie's first shot.
00:05:03Point men die like flies in this shit.
00:05:06Walk around a fucking tree, there's a VC.
00:05:08Boom.
00:05:10And then there's the VCs.
00:05:12Point men die like flies in this shit.
00:05:14Walk around a fucking tree, there's a VC.
00:05:16Boom.
00:05:18Fucking dead.
00:05:20Sorry, Negro, you on point.
00:05:22Dead, dead, dead, dead.
00:05:28You're fucking dead.
00:05:30Don't even sweat it, man.
00:05:32We got five more months,
00:05:34then it's back to the world.
00:05:36And we got Private Whitaker's replacement coming in.
00:05:38Private FMG.
00:05:40He's ass on point.
00:05:42That's how it's always been.
00:05:44FMG.
00:05:46Fucking Negro.
00:05:48Fucking new guy.
00:05:50It ain't some big conspiracy, it's the US Army.
00:05:52They fucking you in the ass, Felix.
00:05:54Hey, it's almost one o'clock.
00:05:58Yeah, come on, let's get going.
00:06:00FMGs.
00:06:07All right, boys, we got a sweep on our hands.
00:06:09Ventres is a small provincial city
00:06:11about 60 klicks south of our current position.
00:06:13But the surrounding area needs to be swept for Viacom.
00:06:15Sir, standard rules of engagement?
00:06:17Search and destroy?
00:06:19What we're calling is sweeping now.
00:06:21Lieutenant Sutter, you want to give them the rest?
00:06:25All right, two days ago we lost contact
00:06:27with a platoon out of the 39th.
00:06:29Got separated from their company,
00:06:31and no one's heard from them since.
00:06:33So there's two points.
00:06:35First, we're not aware of any major VC presence in the area,
00:06:37and second, we're alert.
00:06:39Don't want to have any friendly fire.
00:06:41Sir, how do we know it's them if we find them?
00:06:43They are the only American troops in that part of the Delta.
00:06:45So if you guys see anybody, anyone,
00:06:47and they're not a gook,
00:06:49they are either your own company or the missing platoon,
00:06:51and you will know them if you find them.
00:06:53Turns out they're part of Bravo Company.
00:06:55Lieutenant Marsh's boys.
00:06:57And they are a salty bunch.
00:07:01We'll know.
00:07:03Drop time's 0600 at LZ Echo.
00:07:05Be ready.
00:07:07Yes, sir.
00:07:35Hey, Meeks.
00:07:37What's with that?
00:07:39It's an M60.
00:07:41Machine gun.
00:07:43Nah, not that.
00:07:45What's next to it?
00:07:47Is that a belt buckle?
00:07:49Oh, you mean that.
00:07:51Yeah.
00:07:53That's a belt buckle.
00:07:55What's next to it?
00:07:57That's a belt buckle.
00:07:59Oh, you mean that.
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:03That's a belt buckle.
00:08:05Well, hey, I love
00:08:07learning about belt buckles.
00:08:09What's the CS mean?
00:08:11It means you care about
00:08:13where you came from.
00:08:15You mind if I take a look at your belt buckle?
00:08:17I'd rather you not.
00:08:19Why not? I just want to take a look at it.
00:08:21That's special. It was a gift.
00:08:23From the Confederate States, I take it.
00:08:25Someone from around there?
00:08:27It's from my daddy.
00:08:29Your daddy? He from around Confederate States?
00:08:31He carried it into battle
00:08:33with him at Guadalcanal
00:08:35and passed it on to me.
00:08:37Heritage.
00:08:39An unbroken line.
00:08:41It means something.
00:08:43So your daddy, he from
00:08:45Philadelphia, New York, Chicago?
00:08:47Jackson,
00:08:49Mississippi.
00:08:51So I guess
00:08:53your heritage probably involved a couple of tracks of land
00:08:55with some contract labor, huh?
00:08:57As a matter of fact,
00:08:59no.
00:09:01We were the laborer.
00:09:03My great-great-great-granddaddy
00:09:05scrapped in the dirt on his boss' farm
00:09:07until the good Lord called him to defend his land
00:09:09from the overreach of the federal government.
00:09:11Sounds like a real sucker.
00:09:17Yeah.
00:09:19Oh, yeah, maybe so.
00:09:21You sure got to shoot a lot of niggers in blue shirts, though.
00:09:27You got some shit you want to say to me?
00:09:29Oh, I think I just said it.
00:09:31Fuck.
00:09:33Fuck you.
00:09:35As you were.
00:09:37What's going on?
00:09:39Just prepping for the boonies, L.T.
00:09:41What about you, Allen?
00:09:43You ready?
00:09:45Oh, yeah.
00:09:47I'm ready.
00:09:49Almost.
00:09:51Well,
00:09:53best finish up.
00:09:55Because almost ain't gonna cut it out there tomorrow.
00:09:59This
00:10:01is private...
00:10:05What was it again?
00:10:07Ham, sir.
00:10:09Matthew Ham.
00:10:11He's Whitaker's replacement.
00:10:13Get Private Ham up to speed,
00:10:15get some rack time.
00:10:17We're on deck at 0500.
00:10:19That's 5 fucking a.m., FNG.
00:10:29Looking forward to getting to work with you fellas.
00:10:31Charlie gonna eat you for lunch, boy.
00:10:33Not if I can help it.
00:10:35What'd you just say?
00:10:37I said not if I can help it.
00:10:39I'm gonna give him my best fight.
00:10:41Your best fight?
00:10:44You think this is D-Day?
00:10:46You think the slopes give two shits
00:10:48what kind of fight you're gonna give them?
00:10:50They think you'll give them a fight,
00:10:52they'll just slither off and hide in the dark
00:10:54and let you step on a booby-trapped mortar round
00:10:56and blow your foot off.
00:10:58Or fall in a tiger pit and impale your leg on spikes
00:11:00and then they'll shoot who's ever got to carry
00:11:02your sorry ass back.
00:11:04It's best to just not get hit, Private Ham.
00:11:09Then I guess I'll just do the hitting.
00:11:14Looks like we found our point, man.
00:11:27All right, two minutes!
00:11:29The LZ should be clear,
00:11:31but we are still establishing a perimeter.
00:11:33You all know the drill.
00:11:35We going in, huh?
00:11:37Only if you get eyes on Charlie.
00:11:39You all look sharp, you hear me?
00:11:41And save your ammo!
00:11:46Hey, FNG!
00:11:49You know what happens
00:11:51if the slopes capture you alive, right?
00:11:53I don't know.
00:11:55They'll strip you down to your bare ass
00:11:57and walk you into a minefield at gunpoint.
00:12:00If you're lucky, you'll lose a leg
00:12:02and bleed out right away.
00:12:04I saw an FNG lose his toes
00:12:06and the tip of his dick.
00:12:08Bad way to go!
00:12:11Just keep your head down.
00:12:18Thirty seconds!
00:12:21All right, lock and load!
00:12:38SING ME BACK HOME
00:12:46Sing me back home
00:12:50The song I used to hear
00:12:54To make my old memories come alive
00:13:01Take me away
00:13:05Turn back the year
00:13:09Sing me back home
00:13:12Before I die
00:13:15Meeks, if you don't shut the fuck up...
00:13:17Why don't you lighten up?
00:13:19There ain't no slopes out here.
00:13:21Motherfucker, I'm out here and I gotta listen to you.
00:13:23Watch your mouth, boy.
00:13:25You just ain't got culture.
00:13:27Oh, I got culture, boy.
00:13:29You just ain't Frank Sinatra.
00:13:32You sound like my little cousin
00:13:34trying to falsetto a Temptation song.
00:13:36Never met a girl that makes me
00:13:38feel the way that you do
00:13:40You're all right
00:13:42Hey, knock it off up there!
00:13:44This ain't fucking camp!
00:13:49Hey, Am.
00:13:52Yeah?
00:13:55You a virgin.
00:13:56What?
00:13:57And don't lie.
00:13:59You always tell when a guy's lying about that shit.
00:14:01Hey, Felix.
00:14:03How about the first time you fucked a girl?
00:14:06Man, I hit some fine-ass Columbia chick
00:14:08back in the day behind the movies.
00:14:10I was 15, she was 19.
00:14:12She kept coming back for more.
00:14:14See, now half that was bullshit.
00:14:16He was 15, she was 19, but...
00:14:19she didn't come back for more.
00:14:21Casper.
00:14:23You a virgin?
00:14:25My name ain't Casper.
00:14:27Come on, just your first.
00:14:29How old were you?
00:14:3216.
00:14:34Where?
00:14:36Out of church.
00:14:37Out of church?
00:14:38In church.
00:14:39Yeah, I bet you gave it to her
00:14:41right up there on the altar, didn't you?
00:14:43Nope.
00:14:44Broom closet in the foyer.
00:14:46Durn church.
00:14:50Well, now none of that's bullshit.
00:14:53Ham, how did you lose your virginity?
00:14:56It was at the ballpark.
00:14:58Fenway Park.
00:15:00Bullshit.
00:15:01No, no, I swear.
00:15:02I would work the refreshment stands there
00:15:04during summers in high school.
00:15:05I used to go bang this chick real hard in the back.
00:15:08How'd you get away with that at Fenway Park?
00:15:10I would turn the popcorn machine on
00:15:12so no one would hear us.
00:15:13Man, you ain't fucking in no popcorn.
00:15:15No, not in the popcorn.
00:15:17In the room behind it.
00:15:19So this was what, uh, 66, uh, 67?
00:15:2266.
00:15:23You know, I went to Fenway Park in 66
00:15:25for my daddy to watch an Orioles game.
00:15:27So we get to our seats,
00:15:29and daddy asked me if I wanted anything to eat.
00:15:32And I said, sure, daddy.
00:15:34I want a Coca-Cola and maybe some popcorn.
00:15:38So daddy comes back with a Coca-Cola and a hot dog.
00:15:41And I said, daddy, what's that hot dog for?
00:15:43I said I wanted popcorn.
00:15:45And he said, son, I know, but the man told me
00:15:48that you have to order popcorn
00:15:49for the man walking up and down the stands.
00:15:54Because they don't sell popcorn in their freshman town
00:15:56as at Fenway Park.
00:15:58Oh!
00:15:59Dad, come on, I swear.
00:16:00No, seriously.
00:16:01We're going to have to find him
00:16:02a nice little mama-san to practice on.
00:16:04Okay, yeah, hey, very funny, but no.
00:16:06I said lock it up.
00:16:08We are five clicks from following me,
00:16:10and you clowns sound like the goddamn Army Band.
00:16:23It's a village.
00:16:25Fong Mee?
00:16:27Can't be Fong Mee, we're too far out.
00:16:30Fong Nam's closer, but it's still three clicks off course.
00:16:39No, it's probably just some random hooch.
00:16:43We sweeping it?
00:16:45That's orders.
00:16:46One platoon's going to be enough?
00:16:48Yeah, one's all we need.
00:16:50We start taking fire, all we got to do
00:16:52is get into the third platoon,
00:16:53and the whole damn company shows up.
00:16:55Charlie knows it.
00:16:59Fuck.
00:17:00Any of y'all speak any Vietnamese?
00:17:02Yeah, a little.
00:17:03How the hell do you speak Vietnamese?
00:17:05Vietnamese lady babysat me as a kid.
00:17:14English.
00:17:16Hmm?
00:17:18Wake!
00:17:23Ask her how many people stay here.
00:17:31What the hell you telling her?
00:17:33I'm asking her how many people stay here.
00:17:42She says it's just her, sir.
00:17:47Bullshit.
00:17:53She says we killed her whole family, sir.
00:17:56Oh, why ain't that a fucking sob story?
00:17:59Is she VC? VC!
00:18:01V...
00:18:03VC?
00:18:04Fong.
00:18:05Hey, Miss Charlie.
00:18:06You see that M-16, that big old belt of ammo back there?
00:18:09Hmm?
00:18:10Now that thing's going to turn your house,
00:18:12and probably you, into dog food.
00:18:15If I find out that any of those commies
00:18:17are coming up through here,
00:18:18do I make myself clear?
00:18:21Wake!
00:18:22Tell her!
00:18:23Cô bán VC con?
00:18:26Bán?
00:18:28I think she's telling the truth, sir.
00:18:30I think she's full of shit.
00:18:32Why is that?
00:18:34Because that lady wants to kill your ass.
00:18:36She could be a runner.
00:18:37Runner?
00:18:38Runs messages for the slopes.
00:18:41I think we ought to torch the place.
00:18:43I'll tell you what, Miss Charlie.
00:18:46How about I go light up your hooch over there, huh?
00:18:51Or...
00:18:54You can let Private Ham light up yours.
00:18:57What?
00:18:59I don't know how to say all that, sir.
00:19:01Oh, you don't have to.
00:19:02She gets the gist.
00:19:04Don't you, Miss Charlie?
00:19:06Ham!
00:19:11What do you say to some prime Vietnamese real estate?
00:19:15You don't even need a popcorn machine.
00:19:18I say no.
00:19:24Let's get something straight here, PFC.
00:19:26Dumbass.
00:19:28If you've got a problem, swallow it.
00:19:35It's all clear, sir.
00:19:36It's just a hut.
00:19:39Oh, well.
00:19:41Looks like it's your lucky day, Miss Charlie.
00:19:44All right, pack it up, boys.
00:19:46We're moving out.
00:19:49You better watch your step.
00:19:52What?
00:19:53You gonna put me on point?
00:19:56You know what?
00:19:58That ain't a bad idea.
00:20:14So what happened to all that talk about putting the black man on point?
00:20:18What about it?
00:20:20You let him set up half his way.
00:20:22No, I ain't.
00:20:24You're on point.
00:20:26I want to be on point.
00:20:29That's the most dangerous position.
00:20:33No, it ain't.
00:20:34Not out here in the jungle with a whole platoon.
00:20:37What do you mean?
00:20:40Charlie ain't gonna fuck with us head on out here.
00:20:43We's got the advantage.
00:20:45Nah.
00:20:47They gonna let us do our thing and then pick at us from the shadows.
00:20:50So, hell, if anybody goes down, it's gonna be somebody from the middle of the line back there.
00:20:54They gonna shoot him in the leg or blow his toes off to make two guys drag his ass back to the LZ.
00:21:02One bullet, three men off the field.
00:21:05Maybe we ought to run our mouths more often.
00:21:08Hell, we all just bait out here anyway.
00:21:10We find the VC and get Fox 40 balls.
00:21:13That's where the money's at.
00:21:15Yo, everything is always some conspiracy theory with you.
00:21:19Maybe our country is just trying to help these people live free lives.
00:21:26Smell that?
00:21:28What?
00:21:31Smell like a motherfucker.
00:22:02Everyone, go!
00:22:12Report fire!
00:22:20They've got us pinned.
00:22:24Where's the fucking numbers?
00:22:27They're down. Both of them.
00:22:32Hey! Get the fucking pigs up there!
00:22:37I can't. They're close down.
00:22:44RPG!
00:22:51We're taking too many hits!
00:22:54RTO! Get the fuck up here!
00:23:02Fuck!
00:23:08Sir, they're cut off!
00:23:16Fuck this.
00:23:19Broken arrow! Broken arrow! We're getting overrun!
00:23:26We need cover!
00:23:28They're fucking on top of us!
00:23:44They got heavy!
00:23:48Come on!
00:23:51Come on!
00:23:56Move!
00:23:58Fall back!
00:24:03Fall back!
00:24:06Fucking go! Go! Fall back!
00:24:11Hey! Hey, we need support!
00:24:17Hey! Hey!
00:24:19We don't gonna die if we don't lay some fire.
00:24:22Get the pig up here and wait for my signal.
00:24:25Hey!
00:24:30You need ammo, hold my signal.
00:24:33One, two, three!
00:24:39Now!
00:24:49Now!
00:25:10Fuck!
00:25:14We're almost on them. We're down.
00:25:17That way! That way! Use your burst!
00:25:20Go! Go! Go!
00:25:27Go! Go!
00:25:48So what now?
00:25:51We're gonna run right into them?
00:25:54The hippies all they got left.
00:25:57They got a crew. They know we're cut off.
00:26:00Man, they coming for us. You know they coming for us.
00:26:04They just gotta follow our trail.
00:26:07We keep running?
00:26:10Fuck. Fuck.
00:26:13No. We wait right here.
00:26:16We wait right here.
00:26:46Shit.
00:27:05Any of you motherfuckers bring a map?
00:27:17This ain't it.
00:27:20How the hell we get so far? Of course.
00:27:23Ran a long way.
00:27:26The road to Fong Mee should be due east of our original position, right?
00:27:30If we cut left out of that creek, we should be northwest by the click.
00:27:33If that.
00:27:36Maybe.
00:27:39Might as well keep trekking.
00:27:42The rest of the platoon's probably already there.
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:48Hold up.
00:27:51I didn't agree to nothing.
00:27:54Ain't nobody said you had to.
00:27:57Makes more sense to head back to the LZ and wait for extraction.
00:28:00Oh, you know where the LZ is.
00:28:03You wanna lead us there?
00:28:06I know it ain't east, and we're headed east.
00:28:09I know if there's slopes in Fong Mee, we're done for.
00:28:13Looks to me like we're headed straight there.
00:28:16I think you just wanna find Sutter.
00:28:21I think you just want Sutter to find your ass and save it.
00:28:24They can't be far.
00:28:27They ain't looking for you or me or any of us Negroes.
00:28:30They left your ass to die with us, and you need to get that through your motherfucking head.
00:28:35Lieutenant Sutter's a good enough officer.
00:28:38Ain't no Lieutenant Sutter no more.
00:28:41Lowdown, no-count motherfucker that left Charlie Balls deep up our ass.
00:28:45You got fucked, Meeks, in the ass.
00:28:48Sutter's praying to every god he can think of, we're all dead, so nobody knows he left us to die.
00:28:55He ain't looking for you, so we're looking for him.
00:29:01You gonna kill him?
00:29:02Well, I ain't gonna buy him an ice cream cone.
00:29:05You gonna try hanging a nigga for killing the man that fucked you in the ass?
00:29:09Let me tell you something, Meeks, you in this shit.
00:29:11You got a target on your back, and the only thing saving your ass right now is a couple of niggas.
00:29:18Now, that don't make you a nigga, but you gonna walk with niggas.
00:29:21You gonna talk with niggas.
00:29:23You gonna eat with niggas.
00:29:27And you gonna protect niggas with that pig of yours there,
00:29:30because if you don't, you're gonna lay down in a grave with a couple of dead niggas.
00:29:34You got that?
00:29:40Whatever you say.
00:29:42Good, because I got two things to say to you, Meeks.
00:29:45Number one, get rid of the fucking belt buckle.
00:29:48And number two, I'm getting tired of being on point.
00:30:04Casper, I think we overshot it.
00:30:06Casper, I think we overshot it.
00:30:08Fong Meek couldn't have been more than a click out.
00:30:11We've gone to the full bar now.
00:30:13Only thing this far is a couple of farms.
00:30:16We're headed southeast.
00:30:18If we've gone four clicks, this will dump us onto the east road somewhere...
00:30:27Sounds like friendless.
00:30:30Charlie!
00:30:33Wake up and smell the coffee, baby.
00:30:36You got to the count of moi to tell me where your gook friends are stowing their gear
00:30:40before one of them uses it to shoot more of my men.
00:30:43Where's the stash?
00:30:48I'm gonna count to ten now.
00:30:58God damn it, I still can't learn these fucking numbers.
00:31:03I know for a god damn fact you didn't have trouble finding those rifles
00:31:07when this platoon walked through here yesterday, did ya?
00:31:10And suddenly you don't know anything, do ya?
00:31:14I'm gonna have to count to ten now.
00:31:16Moi.
00:31:18No, let's try this.
00:31:20M-C-Q-T-A-N-G-
00:31:23English, god damn it!
00:31:24Moi! Hai! Ba! Nam! Sau! Bai! Tam! Mui!
00:31:31Holy Jesus Christ on a cracker!
00:31:35I just counted to ten in gook!
00:31:38Now, I'll read you the book of songs.
00:31:41Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
00:31:45I will fear no evil as long as I know where those god damn weapons are hidden.
00:31:52Order sung! Order sung!
00:31:54Hey, partner?
00:31:55Is this the lost platoon?
00:31:58Bravo 39th?
00:32:00Lost platoon. That's what they're calling us, huh?
00:32:04Where with the 39th?
00:32:06You Lieutenant Marsh?
00:32:08At the hole.
00:32:23LT.
00:32:24Yeah?
00:32:26You Lieutenant Marsh?
00:32:30Yeah.
00:32:31Who's asking?
00:32:32PFC Allen, sir, with the 60th.
00:32:34They told us to keep an eye out for you.
00:32:36To keep an eye out?
00:32:39They said y'all got lost.
00:32:42Do we look lost?
00:32:48What's in the hole?
00:32:50Three gooks.
00:32:52And their gook kids.
00:32:54You want them to come out?
00:32:56Are you serious?
00:32:57Moss, frag me.
00:33:00You can't frag civilians.
00:33:03They could have guns.
00:33:05Look, why don't we just bring them out nice and slow and see if they know anything?
00:33:08Probably wait until his kid speaks a little Vietnamese.
00:33:13I don't believe what I'm hearing right now.
00:33:16Please tell me that you're fucking new to this shit.
00:33:18Because only a bunch of fuck-face FNGs would call a bunch of gun-toting mama-sons and frag-tossing baby-sons civilians.
00:33:27You ever been shot at by a kid, Private?
00:33:29Can't say I have.
00:33:32Well, they'll shoot you just as dead as an NVA regular.
00:33:34Well, that don't make no difference to me or a jury.
00:33:39Hey, Calhoun, there you are. Come here.
00:33:41Come get a load of this shit.
00:33:43Sir?
00:33:44This is my platoon sergeant, Sergeant Calhoun.
00:33:46Sergeant, we got a couple of doves here who don't want to frag the gooks in the hole.
00:33:50What? Why?
00:33:53Because they said it ain't right.
00:33:56You ain't fragging that hole.
00:34:03Let me show you something.
00:34:16Take a look.
00:34:19Do you know who those men were?
00:34:22Private Grant, Private Cooper, and Private Steadwell.
00:34:26You know why they're dead?
00:34:28Because some little gook kid pulled an AK-47 from behind a water tank
00:34:33and cut them down while they handed out gum and C-rations.
00:34:37Pat them on the head and tell them it's okay they're dead
00:34:41because at least they didn't hurt some little gook kid.
00:34:47Hell, you should write their mothers and their wives
00:34:50and tell them what good boys their husbands and sons were,
00:34:54rubbing lotion on the bare asses of a couple baby commie sans before they got blown away.
00:35:01Do you want to tell them that?
00:35:07You got anything else you want to say to me, boy?
00:35:14I didn't fucking think so.
00:35:19Assume your positions.
00:35:29Fire in the hole!
00:35:37Woo!
00:35:42All right, all right, all right.
00:35:44Round them up, boys.
00:35:50What are we doing?
00:35:53What's it look like we're doing?
00:35:55Let's go, line them up in the field.
00:35:56You killing them folks?
00:35:58You either help out or you stay out of the way.
00:36:03Listen, gooks knocked my whole platoon down to a dozen men.
00:36:08I got half here, half out.
00:36:11I don't know, God knows where.
00:36:13Probably dead.
00:36:15It's 24 dead G.I.s in exchange for a dozen gooks.
00:36:19I'd say they're getting off pretty fucking light.
00:36:22That ain't gonna fly, sir.
00:36:26Why don't you pick a fucking side, private?
00:36:34Hey, fucker, make yourself fucking useful.
00:36:51Move!
00:36:55Let's go!
00:36:56Move, move, move!
00:37:02Fucking go.
00:37:06All right, let's go.
00:37:07On your knees, down!
00:37:08Get down!
00:37:11All right, let's do it.
00:37:12Turn around.
00:37:13Pull it in, boys.
00:37:17On the left, squeeze it in.
00:37:23On three.
00:37:24One, two.
00:37:26Hold on, shut up.
00:37:29Listen, everybody say bravo on three, all right?
00:37:33Okay.
00:37:35One, two, three.
00:37:39Bravo!
00:37:43Did you get it?
00:37:44It ain't balanced right.
00:37:46What do you mean it ain't balanced right?
00:37:48It's all screwy.
00:37:49You got tall guy over there on the left
00:37:51and it slopes down on the right.
00:37:53Montry, move it down a couple spaces.
00:37:58Still a little unbalanced.
00:38:00For God's sake, just take the fucking picture.
00:38:02Hold on, I'll move up.
00:38:07That better?
00:38:09Dandy.
00:38:11Why don't y'all grab one of them momma signs
00:38:12and drag her into the picture?
00:38:17Why the hell would we do that?
00:38:19Like a trophy, you know?
00:38:21Like you just went on a safari and took down a giraffe,
00:38:23only it's a Vietnamese giraffe.
00:38:26Just take the fucking picture.
00:38:28Hold on.
00:38:30I kind of like that.
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:34Hey, come here, honey.
00:38:37Right here.
00:38:38No, it's okay.
00:38:39Shh, it's okay.
00:38:40No, right here.
00:38:41Yeah, smile for the camera, sweetheart.
00:38:43All right.
00:38:45One, two, three.
00:38:49Bravo!
00:38:53Let's go.
00:38:55All right.
00:38:57Light them up, boys, on three.
00:39:00One, two, three.
00:39:06You just killed them, you motherfucking nigger!
00:39:26Time to calm down.
00:39:32You gonna shoot me, too?
00:39:34I will if you don't calm down
00:39:35and take a couple of big steps backwards.
00:39:38Drop it, PFC!
00:39:41Okay, Joe, you need to calm down.
00:39:42I said drop it!
00:39:55All right.
00:40:09Tell you what, Joe, first you tell me
00:40:10what you think the problem is,
00:40:11and then I'll tell you what I think the problem is.
00:40:13Now, fuck you!
00:40:15You just shot US Army soldiers!
00:40:20Okay, so what's the problem?
00:40:26They're all dead.
00:40:29They're all fucking dead.
00:40:31What the fuck is wrong with you?
00:40:33I should shoot you right now!
00:40:35You gonna shoot your own brother?
00:40:37Fuck you!
00:40:39They're gonna put your ass in front of a firing squad.
00:40:46Let me ask you something, Joe.
00:40:48You got a dog?
00:40:49What?
00:40:50A dog.
00:40:51Back home, you got a dog?
00:40:52Yeah, so what?
00:40:54Your dog like you?
00:40:55Yeah!
00:40:56He like your dog?
00:40:57Yeah, what's the point?
00:40:58So you and your dog protect each other, right?
00:41:00You feed him, and he barks
00:41:01if somebody tries to come into your house.
00:41:03Yeah, get the fuck on with it, Casper!
00:41:05So you lawyer to your dog,
00:41:06and your dog lawyer to you?
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:09I'm gonna shoot him.
00:41:11Let me ask you something.
00:41:12One day you walk out of your house,
00:41:14and your dog loses his fucking mind
00:41:15and latches on to little neighbor Sally's arm
00:41:17and starts tearing out chunks of flesh.
00:41:19What do you do?
00:41:20My dog's trained not to do that.
00:41:22Yeah, 99% of dogs are trained not to do that.
00:41:25But if you got the one that does anyway,
00:41:27what are you gonna do when he starts
00:41:28ripping off the little neighbor girl's arm?
00:41:30You gonna stand by and let him maul a little girl
00:41:32just cause he's your dog?
00:41:34You gonna toss him a biscuit,
00:41:35or you gonna put him down?
00:41:36That's not the same thing!
00:41:37It's the exact same fucking thing, Joe!
00:41:42And you need to get that through your fucking head
00:41:44Now I know you freaked out about what just went down,
00:41:46but at the end of the day,
00:41:47we're all in this shit together.
00:41:49Together?
00:41:50What side are you on?
00:41:51There ain't no sides, Joe!
00:41:53Having stripes on your shirt
00:41:54don't make you the good guy.
00:41:55Singing the Star Spangled Banner
00:41:57don't make you the good guy.
00:41:58The only difference between good guys and bad guys out here
00:42:02is what kind of code you're dealing with.
00:42:04How many good guys you know out there killing kids, Joe?
00:42:07If command found out them good guys
00:42:09shot all those civilians,
00:42:10we'd all hang.
00:42:11Hell, we fucked, Joe!
00:42:13We're gonna hang anyway for killing them GIs.
00:42:15The only difference is letting them children die
00:42:19to keep you up long at night.
00:42:29We are the good guys, Joe.
00:42:37Man, I can't argue with that.
00:42:41Fuck those guys.
00:42:43Your bullets in them, Meeks.
00:42:45You can't say shit.
00:42:48So what?
00:42:50So we're just gonna hop a chopper back to base
00:42:52and tell everyone that Private Casper
00:42:54went all apeshit on the missing platoon?
00:42:56Hope they just laugh it off?
00:42:59Nope.
00:43:00We ain't gonna say a thing.
00:43:03We got separated from the platoon
00:43:04and found our way back from Pong now.
00:43:06Made our way back to the LZ,
00:43:07and that's all we know.
00:43:11You good with that?
00:43:12Or you wanna stand up against a wall
00:43:14for having some honor
00:43:15and saving some kids' lives?
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:36I'm good with that.
00:43:37How about you, Felix?
00:43:38You okay not standing up against a wall
00:43:40for those shitheads?
00:43:42Fine by me.
00:43:44You gonna try some bullshit.
00:43:51Nah.
00:43:55Let's just get back.
00:44:06Good news is,
00:44:08platoon sergeant had a map.
00:44:15You know what?
00:44:19I think I figured out why they call you Casper.
00:44:22That ain't my name.
00:44:24I'm guessing it's because you turn
00:44:26red-blooded American boys into goats.
00:44:29Right?
00:44:30Not quite.
00:44:32It's because I shot a little white motherfucker
00:44:33named Casper and took his name.
00:44:35That's what we do in my culture.
00:44:38That right.
00:44:40We got it in a recruit training.
00:44:42Drill instructor gave it to him,
00:44:43and it stuck.
00:44:46Well, it's dumb.
00:44:47It ain't even a name.
00:44:49Whittaker used to tell it best.
00:44:51So drill instructor walks in
00:44:53on old Private Adlin here
00:44:54all conked out up on his locker,
00:44:56but they're in fire watch.
00:44:58DI walks over to him
00:44:59and punches him right in the chest.
00:45:01Boom!
00:45:03Says you're dead, Private.
00:45:05Then he tells him,
00:45:06well, since you're dead,
00:45:07you gotta be dead.
00:45:09So he makes him wear this giant white sheet
00:45:11for the rest of the night.
00:45:12He's gotta go around and wake up
00:45:13all the other recruits going,
00:45:15boo, I'm a ghost.
00:45:17Ain't that ironic.
00:45:19It's fucking stupid.
00:45:21It's stuck, though.
00:45:22He's been Casper ever since.
00:45:24It's stuck, though.
00:45:25He's been Casper ever since.
00:45:28I can see the resemblance.
00:45:31Nobody gave you a nickname at basic.
00:45:34I was Private Jesus.
00:45:55Come on.
00:46:05What village is this?
00:46:07I don't know.
00:46:08It ain't on the map.
00:46:1016, Fernies.
00:46:13Lieutenant Marsh said
00:46:14he got cut off from half his platoon.
00:46:16Might be them.
00:46:18I don't know.
00:46:19I don't know.
00:46:20I don't know.
00:46:21I don't know.
00:46:22Lieutenant Marsh said
00:46:23he got cut off from half his platoon.
00:46:25Might be them.
00:46:27Maybe.
00:46:29Hey.
00:46:31Maybe I'll let this one go.
00:46:34Let it go.
00:46:36It already got us.
00:46:38All right, boys.
00:46:39Round them up.
00:46:40Move it.
00:46:41Come on.
00:46:42Round them up, boys.
00:46:45Come on.
00:46:46Get them out of there.
00:46:47Get them out.
00:46:48Let's go.
00:46:49Get out.
00:46:50Left side's clear.
00:46:55Contact.
00:46:56Last hooch.
00:46:58Get him up.
00:46:59Get him up.
00:47:04All right, we got a couple more in here.
00:47:06Going in, Sarge?
00:47:07Hell no.
00:47:08Smoke it, Leland.
00:47:15Bravo Company.
00:47:16Rest of the lost platoon.
00:47:18This ain't our fight.
00:47:21This ain't our fight.
00:47:22Come on, let's go.
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:24We're already in deep enough shit.
00:47:26And what have we got to lose?
00:47:28All right, let's go.
00:47:32Let's go.
00:47:33Come on.
00:47:34Come on.
00:47:37Ain't no good gonna come out of staying.
00:47:39Let's go.
00:47:42Come on, little mama.
00:47:44Don't be so bad.
00:47:45What do you think?
00:47:48Maybe we ought to leave the lady.
00:47:50The bitch probably deserves it.
00:47:52And probably shoot him when he's done, too.
00:47:54You good with that?
00:47:55He's good with that.
00:47:57We all are.
00:47:58Let's go.
00:48:00So it's just a damn peep show now, huh?
00:48:02You want me to go get you some tissues?
00:48:04Look at them getting there.
00:48:06Yeah, see?
00:48:07That's the shit I'm talking about.
00:48:09Good guys.
00:48:10Good guys, Joe.
00:48:13Hey!
00:48:17Hey!
00:48:19Back off!
00:48:20Let her go.
00:48:21Now!
00:48:24Who the hell are you?
00:48:25Let her go.
00:48:29You from 2nd Platoon?
00:48:31I'm not from any platoon.
00:48:32Now get out of here.
00:48:38RTO Joe.
00:48:40RTO just got the radio fixed.
00:48:43Calling in our position right now.
00:48:46Get back in there and finish your sweep.
00:48:50This is the sweep.
00:48:58Leave it.
00:48:59There's gooks everywhere.
00:49:01I don't care.
00:49:03I'm just going to pick it up
00:49:05and carry it right back over there.
00:49:09Alright.
00:49:13Nice.
00:49:15Slow.
00:49:16Clear the chamber.
00:49:18Nice and slow.
00:49:20Nice.
00:49:23And slow.
00:49:24Clear the chamber!
00:49:35Hey!
00:49:39Here we go.
00:50:108-Niner Bravo.
00:50:11Friendly fire.
00:50:12Taking friendly fire.
00:50:139-Niner Bravo.
00:50:14Rogue friendlies.
00:50:153 or 4.
00:50:16Rogue friendlies.
00:50:17All negroes.
00:50:18We've got half a platoon down.
00:50:19Request immediate evac.
00:50:200-Niner 5.
00:50:212-6.
00:50:22Niners!
00:50:25Jesus Christ.
00:50:34You know they're going to put our asses against the wall, right?
00:50:37Took us about 10 minutes to set a world record for fragging our own guys.
00:50:42They weren't our own guys.
00:50:44Our own guys don't pull that kind of shit.
00:50:48So they really fucked us.
00:50:52Know the way about it.
00:50:55I give you three hours before a bunch of cobras come sweeping this place
00:50:59looking to put our asses in the grass.
00:51:03We going to shoot them down too?
00:51:05We going to shoot them down too?
00:51:07We did what we had to do with no choice.
00:51:10Don't go getting all twisted up over it.
00:51:21Perimeter! Now!
00:51:35It's clear.
00:51:36We can't stay here.
00:51:40Casper, we can't sit around out here waiting to get shot, man.
00:51:44I ain't trying to get shot by no firing squad.
00:51:47Every one of them boys is white.
00:51:50What, you think they're going to stand a couple of negroes up and take a moral crisis into account?
00:51:55Hell nah.
00:51:56I get that.
00:51:57But we going to die out here too.
00:51:59How long you think we're going to last in this shit?
00:52:01I'd rather die out here than back there.
00:52:04Shit.
00:52:05I ain't getting railroaded for stopping a murder.
00:52:08We might still have a chance.
00:52:10If this war's not too popular right now, the press will be all over it.
00:52:13Of course they will.
00:52:15And that's exactly why they're going to put us away nice and quiet.
00:52:19Somebody roll a frag into the cell and call it a day.
00:52:22If they don't shoot our black asses on sight.
00:52:26What if we shoot them first?
00:52:27Shoot who first?
00:52:32Sutter.
00:52:33Jojo.
00:52:34Boy, you got hard real quick, didn't you?
00:52:36Everything that happened, both those villages, we found them because Sutter bailed on our asses and left us for dead.
00:52:42So you just going to fuck his shit up and then what, go wait back at the LZ?
00:52:46You got a better idea?
00:52:48Now look, I told you there is a code.
00:52:52I didn't kill them guys for revenge or because they called me a nigger or any of that nonsense.
00:52:57That was defensive non-combatants.
00:53:00Women and children.
00:53:02Now I stand by that, but Sutter, that's a whole other ballgame.
00:53:10Where the hell is Meeks?
00:53:18Where'd the bike go?
00:53:19He's going to try and make it to the LZ for extraction and tell them some bullshit about getting separated from us.
00:53:26Never knew nothing about anything.
00:53:28Cut him, beat him to death, ain't it?
00:53:29We ain't got no bikes. What, you want to run?
00:53:33We don't need bikes.
00:53:36We need a boat.
00:53:59We need a boat.
00:54:00We need a boat.
00:54:01We need a boat.
00:54:02** President China visits Macau, Kuala Lumpur, and Nepalweet **
00:54:23Stop!
00:54:23soldier, your energies and civilian lives are at risk of being extinguished!
00:54:27Every person.
00:54:29Soldier and civilian lives
00:54:31No line! No line!
00:54:32I'm callin' him, tell me I can't.
00:54:34No line!
00:54:35Tell me I can't, I'm callin' him, tell me I can't.
00:54:39Stupid motherfucker.
00:54:41If we were Charlie, he'd be dead meat.
00:54:45So we're just gonna camp here?
00:54:46Man, hell no.
00:54:48Let's keep moving upstream.
00:54:50Nah, they'll see us.
00:54:52We wait right here.
00:55:02Ready?
00:55:10We truckin'?
00:55:14Why don't you just hit the motor so we can get up outta here?
00:55:17I know you ain't havin' a goddamn moral crisis over that asshole.
00:55:22Man, you think he'll come back for us?
00:55:24Kick it, Joe.
00:55:26I'm not gonna let him.
00:55:28You think he'll come back for us?
00:55:30Kick it, Joe.
00:55:33He's on our side.
00:55:35He's on our side.
00:55:37You in the Army, ain't you?
00:55:41He's right.
00:55:44He had our backs earlier.
00:55:46Army gonna fuck us with or without him.
00:55:48Might as well bring him along to the party.
00:55:51Got bells on our asses.
00:55:53Calls you a nigger.
00:55:56I am a nigger.
00:55:58But I ain't Meeks.
00:56:04You in?
00:56:08I'm in.
00:56:13All right, man, what we doin'?
00:56:16I know if you don't let me go,
00:56:18you gonna have about 200 fuckin' U.S. Army soldiers
00:56:20up here in the morning, right?
00:56:24Oh!
00:56:26Fuck!
00:56:28Oh, you fuckin'
00:56:30piss-a-dick, no-guts-slope motherfucker!
00:56:34You keep laughin' with that big gun,
00:56:36your village is gonna go up in flames, motherfucker!
00:56:39I ain't laughin'.
00:56:41I ain't laughin'.
00:56:43Your village is gonna go up in flames, motherfucker!
00:56:46I can't wait to see you cry.
00:56:49I'm gonna watch you burn, motherfucker.
00:56:52I'm gonna watch your skin
00:56:54fall off your fuckin' skeleton,
00:56:56you piece of shit!
00:56:58Watch it come on up to Jackson.
00:57:00I'll show you how a white man
00:57:02treats a fuckin' nip, you piece of shit!
00:57:05Fuck!
00:57:07Piece of shit!
00:57:13Fuck!
00:57:28Move!
00:57:43Move!
00:58:03How'd y'all find me?
00:58:05Wasn't hard with you floppin' around up on that bike.
00:58:09Goddamn fuckin' slopes.
00:58:12You're gonna skew me alive.
00:58:17You wanna tell me why the fuck you took off?
00:58:22Didn't have much of a choice.
00:58:24That's so.
00:58:27Died in Louisiana.
00:58:29Died at the base after a good meal and a hot shower.
00:58:32Sounds like you just fixin' to die.
00:58:37You gonna shoot me?
00:58:39You probably ought to wait until I give you
00:58:41your ticket out of this shit.
00:58:43What are you talking about?
00:58:45Oh.
00:58:47Don't wanna shoot me now, huh?
00:58:49Shut the fuck up.
00:58:50What are you talking about,
00:58:51ticket out of this shit?
00:58:53How about you get the hardware out of my face?
00:59:00What ticket?
00:59:03Slopes dragged me inside one of those huts
00:59:05when they first got me.
00:59:07They had a radio operator in there
00:59:08picking up traffic from the rest of the company.
00:59:13One came over the wire saying he found
00:59:15a dozen dead G.I.s in a line a few clicks east of Fong Nam.
00:59:20Guess who called it in?
00:59:23Sutter.
00:59:24Loud and clear.
00:59:26Fourth platoon found him hours after we were there.
00:59:29Our platoon.
00:59:31Us.
00:59:33They trying to pin it on us.
00:59:35Sutter gotta tell everyone he bailed on us.
00:59:37And if he decides to cut his losses and fess up,
00:59:40we got an alibi.
00:59:42We've been pinned down by Charlie
00:59:43since three in the afternoon.
00:59:45Downriver where we sinked his boat.
00:59:47Sutter ditched us,
00:59:49so we cut south trying to evade.
00:59:53Never got anywhere near that village.
00:59:56L.T. and the boys become the prime suspects.
00:59:59You think it'll stick?
01:00:01Only proof they got we were ever there
01:00:03when they found his camera.
01:00:05Mother fuck.
01:00:07That camera's got everything on it.
01:00:09So what happens if they find the camera
01:00:11and they see the lost platoon cheesing on it?
01:00:13How do you know we're not in any of those pictures?
01:00:16These pictures?
01:00:19God damn.
01:00:24Just gotta beat Sutter back to the L.Z.
01:00:27And we're home free.
01:00:30That's some good shit.
01:00:35We square?
01:00:39We square.
01:00:41Major?
01:00:42Sir?
01:00:43Something's screwy here.
01:00:47Bravo's fourth platoon made contact here.
01:00:50A click past Fong Nam.
01:00:52Backs up two clicks west,
01:00:54then goes back up again and runs into fresh bodies.
01:00:58Now why'd they go through an area they'd just been ambushed in?
01:01:02You think they're lying?
01:01:04That radio call from Bravo fourth
01:01:06came in three hours after Alfred Company's missing platoon
01:01:10radioed that they were being attacked.
01:01:13Rogue platoon?
01:01:15Or two.
01:01:17Something isn't adding up.
01:01:19The rest of Bravo Company's fanned out across that peninsula.
01:01:22They should be right up each other's asses.
01:01:25Bravo fourth platoon's off by about two clicks northeast.
01:01:29Beats me, sir.
01:01:32How many birds we got coming in for the extract?
01:01:35Eleven for Bravo, sir.
01:01:37Can you get an extra on deck?
01:01:39Yes, sir.
01:01:40Good.
01:01:41I want two gunships accompanying that extract.
01:01:44I want a company sweeping that peninsula at first light,
01:01:47and I want two squads at each kill site
01:01:49and cover every inch of that delta in between.
01:01:52I'll take care of it, sir.
01:01:54Roger.
01:01:55Clear a scene on that first bird out.
01:01:58I'll be on it.
01:02:06We what?
01:02:08Two clicks out?
01:02:10If that, LZ's right up the road.
01:02:120700?
01:02:14We got an hour and a half if we want to shut the first bird out.
01:02:17You think everybody's heard about what happened?
01:02:20Probably.
01:02:21If it was on the radio, every platoon leader knows about it.
01:02:24I'm thinking we better avoid the rest of the company
01:02:27until the birds are on the ground.
01:02:29Let's take a spot on the perimeter and catch one coming in.
01:02:31What about the gunner?
01:02:33What about him?
01:02:36Them Hueys got a door, Gunner.
01:02:38Radio operator and John Traum said a couple Negroes went rogue.
01:02:43You think they might be on the lookout for a couple Negroes
01:02:46running straight for a chopper?
01:02:48Maybe we ought to just blend in with the platoon.
01:02:51Yeah, stick to the story and act like we don't know what happened.
01:02:54So they're going to shoot us on sight and ask questions later.
01:02:57Door gunner's going to cut us down if we look at them funny.
01:03:00So we're fucked.
01:03:03Not if they don't see us.
01:03:05How they not going to see us?
01:03:07Casper again?
01:03:10They ain't going to see us because they ain't going to find us.
01:03:14Want to pass this whole thing off?
01:03:16Then we got to play it all the way.
01:03:18VC caught our asses.
01:03:20We didn't make it to the LZ.
01:03:22They held us a couple of days until we busted out,
01:03:24killed a couple of guards,
01:03:26and then show up at command in Saigon
01:03:28with a couple of AK-47s and a motherfucker of a story.
01:03:32Maybe some nice intel on VC movement south of Ventura.
01:03:35And piss the fuck off at our platoon leader
01:03:38who bailed on our asses in the midst of a firefight.
01:03:41And piss the fuck off at a guy who's already going to be under suspicion
01:03:45for calling in a kill site when he was the only one there.
01:03:49That's how we going to end this.
01:03:52We dig a fucking hole, cover it, hide out for three days, maybe four.
01:03:56If we survive those couple of days, we hump it 50 clicks back up to Saigon
01:04:00and we got an alibi.
01:04:01No choppers, nothing.
01:04:03Just to take it out of this shit.
01:04:05I can dig a hole.
01:04:08Damn it, man.
01:04:10All right, I'm in.
01:04:12Meeks, what about...
01:04:14What the fuck are you doing?
01:04:16You're right about one thing.
01:04:19They ain't going to find you.
01:04:21Meeks, come on, just put that thing down.
01:04:26I'm doing a little bit of thinking here.
01:04:29Turns out this whole goddamn thing is y'all's fucking fault in the first place.
01:04:33Our fault? You got blood on your hands, too.
01:04:36Well, I didn't have much of a fucking choice now, did I?
01:04:39Come on, man, you ain't thinking straight.
01:04:41We just saved your ass back there.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:45Yeah, you did.
01:04:47You know why?
01:04:49Because you got my ass captured by the fucking slopes.
01:04:52Because you greased the squad of G.I.s.
01:04:55That wasn't enough.
01:04:57Then you went and greased the second one.
01:04:59All I've done this whole time is react to you killing friendlies.
01:05:02So you're going to kill three more?
01:05:04Fuck you.
01:05:05Stand up, all of you.
01:05:07Take them rifles. Go on.
01:05:09Go on.
01:05:13Stand the fuck up, Casper.
01:05:18Now toss them in the water, nice and slow.
01:05:25Toss the fucking rifles in the fucking water or I'll end you.
01:05:29Your helmets.
01:05:31Toss your helmets in the water.
01:05:40You tie a good knot, boy.
01:05:42I want you to go on and sit down.
01:05:52What, you want me to tie my hands, too?
01:05:56What, you want me to tie my hands, too?
01:05:58No.
01:06:00I got that.
01:06:09Sutter left your ass for dead and he'd do it again.
01:06:17Sutter survived.
01:06:21So will I.
01:06:26LZ Echo, sir, coming up.
01:06:35Nobody home?
01:06:39No smoke, sir.
01:06:42You want me to put her down?
01:06:44Negative. Other birds will make the X-track.
01:06:47Keep heading east.
01:06:51We're looking for a couple roads.
01:06:55We're looking for a couple roads.
01:07:25We're looking for a couple roads.
01:07:55Morning.
01:08:06Morning.
01:08:08Jesus Christ.
01:08:11What the hell are you popping out of the bush like that for?
01:08:13We could have shot you.
01:08:17Wouldn't that be a fucking tragedy?
01:08:21What happened?
01:08:25It's just you?
01:08:27Okay.
01:08:29You, uh...
01:08:31You hear about those dead G.I.s back in Drong Trom?
01:08:37No.
01:08:38No?
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:42A couple crazy assholes wiped out a few squads in two different villages.
01:08:45And word is...
01:08:47they were American.
01:08:49Is that right?
01:08:51Oh, well.
01:08:53That's the word, anyway.
01:08:56You know, the only problem is...
01:08:59everyone deployed on operations have been accounted for.
01:09:02I mean, everyone...
01:09:05except you.
01:09:10Oh.
01:09:12That's a funny story.
01:09:14I got one for you.
01:09:16Chicken shit platoon leader takes off in the middle of a firefight...
01:09:19and leaves a cut-off fire team to die in the shit.
01:09:22Shoots up a bunch of villagers on the way back...
01:09:25gets surprised by the missing platoon...
01:09:27and kills them to bury the evidence.
01:09:33Huh.
01:09:35Well, no, I didn't say anything about any villagers.
01:09:42It was you.
01:09:44Wasn't it?
01:09:47Everything that happened to me happened because of you.
01:09:49Okay.
01:09:51Okay.
01:09:54Tell you what.
01:09:56Why don't you point that pig that way and you and I...
01:09:59we can discuss this.
01:10:01Hmm.
01:10:03Why don't you give me one good reason not to smoke your ass where you stand?
01:10:06How about because you'll be dead before you get a second shot off?
01:10:09And honestly, Meeks, I don't think you want to end your life out here in the shit.
01:10:12So get your fucking head straight!
01:10:16LT.
01:10:18I'm already dead.
01:10:20No.
01:10:22You don't have to be, Meeks.
01:10:24You don't have to be.
01:10:27Let me ask you a question.
01:10:29Where are those other boys you were with?
01:10:31Gone.
01:10:33Dead?
01:10:35Maybe.
01:10:38Captured?
01:10:40Probably.
01:10:42All right.
01:10:44Then let me tell you something.
01:10:46Leading a platoon ain't easy.
01:10:48Sometimes you have to make the tough choices,
01:10:50like leaving a few men in order to save the whole goddamn unit.
01:10:54But, Meeks...
01:10:57that doesn't mean I can't try to have your back.
01:11:01It's a little late for that.
01:11:03Doesn't have to be.
01:11:06Not necessarily.
01:11:08Those choppers are gonna be here in a half an hour.
01:11:10And everyone in this platoon is gonna be on those choppers together.
01:11:14Just like we came off.
01:11:16Just like we've been the entire time.
01:11:19All of us, Meeks.
01:11:21Together. Do you...
01:11:23Do you hear what I'm saying to you?
01:11:29So what, you think they're just gonna forget about two dozen dead friendlies?
01:11:33Casper.
01:11:35It was Casper, wasn't it?
01:11:41Sure.
01:11:43He fired the first shot on those other fucking Negro boys.
01:11:46Well, they followed right along with him, didn't they?
01:11:48I mean, that is...
01:11:50that is what happened, right, Meeks?
01:11:53Huh?
01:11:55Still your fault.
01:11:58Shit happens.
01:12:01Especially out here.
01:12:06Doesn't mean it has to happen to you.
01:12:09Ugh.
01:12:11Why'd you tie these ropes so motherfucking tight?
01:12:16So I wouldn't get shot.
01:12:20We ain't getting out these ropes.
01:12:23Why ain't we in here sunbathing?
01:12:39Chopper's inbound. Step on it.
01:12:55There they are.
01:12:57Put it down by the road.
01:12:59Roger that.
01:13:08Lieutenant Sutter of Bravo Company.
01:13:10Sutter? You called in the casualties?
01:13:13Yes, sir. Three squids northeast of Farm B.
01:13:16Bravo Company's the only unit out here.
01:13:19How many men are you missing?
01:13:21Three unaccounted for, sir.
01:13:23Took off during a firefight outside of Farm D.
01:13:26Where's the rest of the platoon?
01:13:28This is it.
01:13:32All right. Get your gunner squad on the chopper.
01:13:35Sir!
01:13:37Sweep and look for these clowns.
01:13:39I want some firepower on board.
01:13:41The rest of the platoon, get up to the L.C.
01:13:44and rendezvous with the rest of the company.
01:14:07Let's go.
01:14:26Choo-choy! Light burn!
01:14:37Choo-choy comes out!
01:14:39Come, Lin!
01:14:45You are our friends, and you're not bad.
01:14:48Yes.
01:14:50All right!
01:14:52You wear American uniform.
01:14:55You carry American guns.
01:14:57You shoot American bullets.
01:15:00Your planes drop American bombs
01:15:03and kill Vietnamese children.
01:15:05We killed 20 American soldiers
01:15:08because they were shooting Vietnamese.
01:15:10We killed them.
01:15:12We didn't choose this. We're fighting against it.
01:15:18Soul Man.
01:15:20Soul Man in Vietnam is like a fly
01:15:23caught between two fighting buffalo.
01:15:27Let us go, and we'll never come back.
01:15:30Vietnamese people starve because of you.
01:15:33Vietnamese people cannot grow rice
01:15:36because American's plants
01:15:38spray agents orange and destroy the farm.
01:15:42American mines take what once created life
01:15:46and make it dead.
01:15:48You're the only one left.
01:15:51Take what once created life and make it dead.
01:16:03Vietnamese people fight for 1,000 years
01:16:07to get freedom from Chinese.
01:16:16Vietnamese people fight for 1,000 more.
01:16:19And for 1,000 more after that,
01:16:21bullets will not help you.
01:16:23Bombs will not help you.
01:16:25And God will not help you.
01:16:33You will only die.
01:16:45Go!
01:16:47Go!
01:16:56What the fuck we gonna do?
01:16:58I ain't done on no motherfucking landmine.
01:17:02They're gonna shoot us.
01:17:07Spread out. One goes down, the others keep moving.
01:17:10When I yell, we break for the trees.
01:17:18Three.
01:17:22Two.
01:17:25One.
01:17:28Down the line!
01:17:31There!
01:17:33There, GIs! Open field up river!
01:17:37Bring her in, Captain.
01:17:39Don't let her get away.
01:17:41Don't let her get away!
01:17:43Don't let her get away!
01:17:45Bring her in, Captain.
01:17:47Don't let those boys move or you gun them down.
01:17:49It's dangerous.
01:18:01You know her?
01:18:02Yeah.
01:18:03Mai Bai.
01:18:05Mai Bai!
01:18:09Go home, soul man.
01:18:11It's not your war.
01:18:15It's not your war.
01:18:24Down!
01:18:42Clear this coast.
01:18:45Clear this coast.
01:18:51Hey, hey, hang tight. Remember that door there.
01:19:02Thank God you found us. How did you-
01:19:03Stay where you are.
01:19:12There's your rogue, sir.
01:19:14What the hell?
01:19:15Sir, what's going on?
01:19:16Oh, don't play stupid. We know what you did.
01:19:20What the motherfucker you talking about?
01:19:22He knows.
01:19:24We all do.
01:19:26After y'all ditched us in the firefight back there, y'all up and greased a bunch of our own guys.
01:19:31You son of a bitch.
01:19:32That's bullshit.
01:19:33We've been here two days.
01:19:34That's bullshit.
01:19:35We've been here two days.
01:19:36Charlie picked us up at the end of the firefight where L.T. motherfucker bailed on us.
01:19:40So I don't know what you're talking about, sir.
01:19:43Well, that's bullshit.
01:19:45Yeah. Where were you, L.T.?
01:19:50Well, I was cleaning up the mess you bailed on.
01:19:53Only then to find out that you made another one.
01:19:57On purpose.
01:19:59How about you, Meeks?
01:20:01Where were you?
01:20:03You heard the man. Mopping up your mess with the rest of the platoon.
01:20:08He was with you the whole time?
01:20:11Yeah. He was.
01:20:14Why don't you waste these niggers before they try some shit?
01:20:18Colonel, how'd them men die?
01:20:22He knows how they died.
01:20:25They were shot.
01:20:27What kind of brass? 5.56 M16?
01:20:317.62. Somebody used a 60 on them.
01:20:35I ain't never fired a pig in my life.
01:20:38Sir, only one man in the platoon had an M60.
01:20:43There wasn't any of us.
01:20:51What the fuck? Are you accusing me of killing my own men?
01:20:56Fuck you!
01:20:58You cock-sucking piece of shit!
01:21:01You fucking nigger! Fuck you!
01:21:03Hold on. Now how much ammunition did you use?
01:21:08Hell, I don't know. Six belts?
01:21:11Looks like you used more than that.
01:21:13Let me see that weapon, son.
01:21:27I don't know how in the fucking hell a couple of fork-tongued, black-ass sons of bitches get away with accusing red-blooded Americans of turning on their own kind.
01:21:36You want to be Malcolm X, don't you, you piece of shit?
01:21:39I swear to God, you better be facing the fire squad next week.
01:21:43I want to see you hang, nigger!
01:21:46I want to see you fucking dead!
01:21:50What's in your pocket?
01:21:54A couple pairs of dry socks.
01:22:01Take it out, son.
01:22:06Give me those.
01:22:15You son of a bitch.
01:22:35Oh, Jesus Christ, Meeks. Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:22:43Meeks, stand down!
01:22:48Stand down!
01:22:53Meeks! I will shoot you!
01:23:02Meeks!
01:23:05Meeks!
