[ddd]

Looks like
a fresh trail to me.

All right, LT,

I suggest we take it
real slow and easy here now.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Grenade! Cover!

Down!

Cover gunfire!

Run for cover.
Go, go, go!

Stay low! Stay low!

[SCREAM]

[CRACKLING, POPPING]

What the hell was that?

What the...

[CRACKLING STOPS]

[FLY BUZZES]

Charlie's pulling back.

Why would he do that?

They've got us pinned down
like a hog in a slaughterhouse.

It's spooky, man.

All right, LT,
I'm going to check it out.

Go.

Let's go.

What the hell is this, Indians?

Not exactly,
but sort of.

We're Americans.

We have food and salt.

Shh!

They haven't shot
at us yet, have they?

We have food and salt.

We'll trade with you.

We're your friends.

GIs.

We have food
to trade with you.

We have no quarrel with you.

GIs are your friends.
We have food.

Food.

LT.

Everybody, stay real cool.

[SPEAKING KATU]

We don't want to fight you.

We didn't come here
to fight you.

[SPEAKING KATU]

LT, I think he wants us
to go with him.

Well, why not?

They just saved our tails.

All right, real slow.

Everybody, lower their weapons.

All right, mount up.
We're going with them.

Hey, what do you
think they are?

Well, I don't guess
they're Apaches, do you?

They're probably
Montagnards.

What?

Montagnards.
Possibly Katus.

They're the indigenous
people of this region.

Indigenous?

Sounds like another
kind of disease.

[SPEAKING KATU]

I think he's telling us
to stay here.

I've got a feeling
we're about to become

the main attraction
at a barbecue.

Sir, do you foresee
a problem with this?

Well, Percell,
we have the weapons.

Yeah.

So did the VC.

Hey, sarge,
check it out.

[SPEAKING KATU]

Guy looks like
he might be an American.

He's speaking their language.

This place is weird.

This whole place
is weird, man.

This is Kronoun.
He's a village chief.

He wants to know
who you all are.

Lieutenant Goldman,
Bravo Company,

3rd Battalion,
44th Infantry,

196th Light Infantry Brigade.

Who are you?

Kithem.

Kithem-- that's it,
just Kithem?

It's a Katu name.
These are Katu people.

What are you doing
in the area,

Lieutenant Goldman?

Patrolling.

Why?

Intelligence reports
there's VC trails through here.

We were sent to find them.
Looks like we did.

At least
we found VC, anyway.

Were you attacked?

Yeah, we were attacked.
We were almost wiped out.

Then these natives
helped save us.

I want to thank you for that.

Don't thank me.

I'd have watched,

and let whatever
happens happen.

What kind of soldier are you?

I was in, now I'm out.

You just tell him
we're grateful.

He says the VC
are sons of pigs,

and he's always grateful
to butcher a fat pig.

My daddy feels the same
about government troops too.

How does he feel
about Americans?

It's his one failing.
He likes them.

The chief says
you should, uh...

consider yourselves
guests of the village.

But don't take advantage
of the hospitality.

This is a war zone.

There's nothing's hospitable
about that.

Who does he think he is?

I don't know who he is
or what he is,

but he must've been in a world
of hurt to run this far.

I smell mean
all over that cat.

That's affirmative.
They helped us out.

We got three VC dead,

and I don't know how many
wounded crawled off. Over.

We need to get
these people in the war, Six.

We're authorizing
a civic action project

for the village. Over.

Affirmative. We'll be waiting
for your shipment.

Bravo 2-6 out.

What shipment
is that, LT?

Guns and supplies.

They want us to stay here,

set up a strategic hamlet,

and help the natives
cut off VC supply trails.

What about Kithem?

They'll do what they can
on their end.

In the meantime,
we'll check him out on ours.

What's up
with the supplies?

They're for the villagers.

The brass said,
and I quote,

"If the Katu tribesmen
want to waste VC,

they might as well
have the tools to do it right."

Hey, what, you've
got to be kidding,

we're giving
them weapons?

I'm not kidding.
They're getting 16s, 60s.

They're even getting
mortars!

Why don't you send
these weapons

back where they came from?

You tell the chief

with these weapons,

the Katu can defend

their families
and their village.

They don't need defending.

Just tell him.

Can't you understand

they're safe as they are,

they fight
with spears and arrows,

nobody cares much about them,

but give them
real weapons,

they're going to end up
with real enemies.

They'll become a target.

Look, I've got my orders.

You can understand orders,
can't you?

You're handing them
a death warrant.

Just tell the chief
these are his weapons.

My men are assigned
to train his men

how to use them.

Now you tell him.

LT, he's got a point.

What are you, crazy?

This is a chance
for these people

to move into
the 20th century.

We've got a chance
to help them too.

Gentlemen and warriors,

what we have here
is a fully automatic

5.56 mm, gas-operated,
air-cooled,

and magazine-fed rifle.

It's not going to work, is it?

Right. Right. Hold on. Hold on.

This...

is a bullet.

Bullet.

Say that. Bullet.

ALL: Bullet.

Good.

Good.

This is a magazine.

Magazine.

ALL: Magazine.

That's amazing.
You guys are beautiful.

Okay. Now, you put
the magazine in here.

You pull back
the bolt here,

and you pull
the trigger here.

This is the trigger. And...

bang.

Easy, huh?

ALL: Easy, huh?

Okay, guys, now that we've got

aiming this baby
down to a science,

here's how
we drop the rounds.

Please note that
for training purposes

the firing mechanism's
been blocked.

Now take the round
with two hands.

Hang it.

Drop it. Run your hands
down the tube like so.

Be sure and keep your face
and your hands

away from the muzzle. Got it?

Okay. Let's--let's start over.

All right, my man.

It's time
to rock and roll.

Here we go.

All right. Safety.
Just pull the trigger, okay?

Ready?

Go.

Whoa. Get your
finger off!

Don't you know you never
train a new man

with a full belt?

Only use
six to eight rounds.

This will never happen.

Gentleman warriors,
rifles up.

Fingers off
those triggers now.

Single magazine.
Lock and load.

Guns off safe,
on full automatic.

On my command.
Ready, aim...

Fire!

That's my boy!

Yeah!

Hang it and drop it.

Whoo!

ALL: Whoo!

[SPEAKING KATU]

What's going on?

Visitors.
Friends of yours.

I am Major Tung.

District Chief
of this province.

What are you Americans
doing here?

I'm Lieutenant Goldman, sir.

Bravo Company's
been engaged to sweep this area.

I heard the sound
of heavy gunfire, lieutenant.

Did you give
these people weapons?

Yes, sir.
We're training them to use them.

Brigade authorized

a civic action program
for this village.

I approved
no such program, lieutenant.

No indigenous tribes
may be armed

without the special permission
from the civil authority.

That's me.

Disarm them immediately.

No, sir. I can't do that.

We're trying to close
the VC trails in this area.

Lieutenant, the trails also fall
within my jurisdiction.

The commercial caravans
that use them

are a source of revenue
for the central government.

Major Tung,
I've got my orders.

You!

So you are still here.

Are you
behind all this?

No.

I will take this matter up
with your superiors, lieutenant.

You'll soon be back
at your base camp.

I assure you.

Lieutenant Goldman.

Be very careful.

It's a very dangerous place.

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

Yo, Kithem.

What do you know
about this guy?

He's a district chief.

Comes around
a couple of times a year,

bullies a young man,

tells the village how much
their taxes are going to be,

steals a few chickens,
and he goes.

And the people
do nothing about it?

So long as they're poor
and no threat to him,

they have an uneasy peace.

You've probably
changed all that.

And what would you
have them do?

Defend themselves
with rocks and sticks?

I'd rather
you hadn't come at all.

These people mean
absolutely nothing

to you or your superiors.

You just want
to use them.

We're trying to help.

Guns and weapons
aren't the answer.

If you want to help them,
do something decent.

Don't teach them to kill.

Help them to live.

Or has this war destroyed
your regard for life?

We can't keep sending
back to the CO

for food and supplies.

We've got to help these people
become more self-sufficient.

They ought to be able to raise
whatever they need, LT.

This soil's as rich
as Mississippi Delta mud.

Sir, if we get
the CO to just send

some more pigs
and chickens,

we can go ahead and build
these people some pens.

That's good.

All right,
let's hear some ideas.

I don't know nothing
about farming, LT.

Me either, sir.
I hate dirt.

I happen to be a concrete
and asphalt man myself.

Well, then the two of you

wouldn't be much help
with the farming, would you?

BOTH: Nope, sorry.

You can dig
latrines then.

I know you're both
experts at that.

All right, let's
get it done, gentlemen.

How's it going,
Johnson?

Looks like
they were born to this, LT.

You dudes like eggs, man?

You know what they say
where I come from,

an egg a day keeps
the doctor away.

You guys ever hear that?

We'll have eggs
and toast tomorrow.

What do you say, man?

Hey, no luck, huh, my man?

Maybe you're using
the wrong kind of bait.

Try one of these.

Yeah!

All right.
It's lunch time!

Come on, come on.
Go get the fish, kids. Come on.

Good, huh?

How you doing here?

Tell me something, uh...

how'd you
end up here anyway?

And what is your real name?

I told you. Kithem.

Yeah, and I heard you,

but I figure
you're a special forces type.

Back here in the early days,

they had a lot of green berets
work with the Montagnards,

and, I don't know, it all
kind of makes sense to me.

Be careful, sergeant.

There's an old
Appalachian saying...

"Don't step in nothing
you can't wipe off."

Thank you very much.

You're really
a good little helper.

Aah!

Go--

I'm going to work
on my reports.

Horn...

Look at my hand.
Tell me what you see?

Dirt?

No. Blisters, Horn.

You see blisters.

I haven't had a hammer
in my hand for three years,

and it's killing me.

I mean, I love it,
but it's killing me.

Sarge, this stuff
is normal for most people.

What, living with Injuns?

Man, just living!

You know, this is the first time
I've been in 'Nam

I really feel like
I've done some good.

It's nice to be build things up
instead of tearing them down.

It's a hell of a lot different
than what we've been doing.

Sure feels good.

Yeah. It does feel good.

[SPEAKING KATU]

Kithem, what's going on?

There's a VC supply train
moving down the trail.

VC. VC.

All right. Gentlemen, this is
what we've been waiting for.

First team's with me.

Set them up, sergeant.

All right, we're going to set up
an L-shaped ambush.

Johnson, get your mortar team
over on that ridge over there.

Baker, Ruiz, take a fire team
and that 60 down there

at the center point.

Taylor, you got
the blooper with you?

Yo.

All right, take a fire team
down by the trail there.

You stop 'em there a while.

The rest of y'all
bring that 60, come with me.

No talking beyond this point.
Let's go.

ALL: Yeah! Whoo!

LT, we've got problems.

What's up?

These aren't VC.
Look here.

These are M-16s they're using.

Check out
the uniform on this guy,

and that patch there.
He's an officer.

This is the same insignia
Tung's men were wearing.

Yes, sir. It is.

Hey, take a look at this.

Corsican gold--
pure raw opium.

This stuff must be
worth millions, Sarge.

Major Tung,
we have a little problem here.

It seems that some of your men
have been smuggling opium.

Colonel Dalby,

you have no proof
that those were my men.

I don't know.

Some of these uniforms
look very similar.

Hah. Probably deserters.

Colonel, the opium trains

have traveled these trails
for hundreds of years.

My government
has done everything in its power

to put a stop to them.

Apparently, they haven't been
very successful.

I mean, that's lots of dope.

Yes.

The opium will be turned over
to my office for investigation.

Those are my orders,

which, by the way,
have been approved in Saigon.

Tell me, major,

your efforts
to keep the trails open

wouldn't have anything to do
with opium traffic, would it?

I do not have to take
your insults!

Major Tung,

the last thing in the world
I want

is any disagreement with
our South Vietnamese allies...

But in your case,

I'm willing
to make an exception.

You've been
nothing but trouble

since day one.

We cannot win this war

without the support
of the people,

which we could do easily

if characters like you

wouldn't keep
getting in the way.

Sit down, major.
I'm not finished.

I will report this
to your superiors.

You will be transferred
out of my district immediately!

Well, in your report,
you be sure and say

that I treated an officer

of the South Vietnamese military

with total contempt
and disrespect,

because
that's the truth.

You see, I consider you
nothing more than a pirate.

You may go, major.

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

Don't ever touch
one of my men like that,

not ever.

You understand me?

If I catch you
out in the bush,

I'm going to cut off
your fingers and ears

and make a necklace out of them.

Hell, I might even
cut out your tongue.

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

That's well-said, sergeant.

You have your orders,
lieutenant.

For how long,
I don't know.

Yes, sir.

Remember the look
on that guy's face?

Man, that was classic.

Yeah, Sarge Hung Tung,
all right.

We definitely won't be
seeing any more of him.

He'll be applying
for a soft job in Saigon

with the rest
of the politicians.

If Colonel Dalby
gets his way,

he'll have him
sold for lard.

Need some help?

Yeah, as a matter
of fact, I do.

I've got blisters on my hand
so bad,

I can't even pick up that axe.

Why don't you give me
a couple whacks with that?

Well, it looks like

you swung
one of those before.

Well, where I come from,

every kid knows
how to split wood.

Yeah? I'll tell you
on thing, old buddy,

you've got yourself
a long ways away

from the Smokey Mountains.

Well, it's not so different.

It's mountainous.

It's rural.

People like to be left alone.

I never thought of it like that.
You've got a point there.

I'll tell you
one thing, though,

first day we came
marching in here

looked out there
and saw all those natives,

and we saw this big,
long-legged white boy,

we thought
you was crazy.

Every time I see
a man in uniform,

I know he's crazy.

Yeah, I heard that.

I'll tell you the honest-to-God
truth, though,

now that
we've been here a while,

you know, like, living here,

you don't seem crazy no more.

Well, let's take a look
and see what we've got here.

Oh, yeah.

Just right.

Hi, honey.

Come on up here.

Oh.

Hi, sweetheart.

How are you?

Is this for us?

This is for Danny.

This is for me.

It's real nice.
Thank you, darling.

Thank you.

That's just great, I guess.

What is it?

It's a sarong, Danny.

It's like a dress.

It is a dress.

It's a dress for the party.

For the party.

Horn, what party?

Gentlemen,
may I have your attention?

According to Katu customs,
you should now entertain us.

Please, please d

Sarge!

Incoming!

Horn... Horn.

Horn, you've got
to give her up now.

She belongs to them.

You've got to give her up, Horn.

Yes. Can you confirm that? Over.

Command claims
it's an unfortunate case

of mistaken identity,
Six. Over.

Yes, sir.
What about your orders? Go.

Somebody in Saigon's
already pulled the plug, Six.

The CAP is canceled.

Get your people
out of there. Over.

Roger. Out.

LT?

The CO seems to think
that the South Vietnamese

mistook this as a VC village.

Had to be Tung.
Everybody knows that.

Colonel Dalby
got the order this morning

to cancel the mission.

We're moving out.

You don't look surprised.

I'm not surprised.

[SPEAKING KATU]

What did you tell him?

I told him that Americans
are like big children.

They come in, they break things,

create problems,

and then they leave
for others to clean up the mess.

[SINGING TRIBAL SONG]

Saddle up.

Just a second, LT.

Kithem...

you can come on back
with us, you know.

Yeah, I don't blame you.

I had to ask, though.

Take care of yourself,
you hear?

Let's get
out of here.

Lieutenant Goldman.

I'm so glad I got to see you
before you got away.

How do you know
what my orders are?

Very little escapes me,
lieutenant.

Very little.

That's obvious.

What are you going to do
with the Katu?

That's Major Tung, sergeant.
Major Tung, sir, to you.

What are you doing
with the villagers, Tung?

Well...

we intend to continue

the good work that you have
started here, lieutenant.

In a few weeks, it will be
a fortified hamlet--

an island of safety
in a sea of danger.

It's a shame that you will
not be here to see it.

That's not a shame, Tung.
Let me tell you what--

Anderson.

Move the men through.

[SPEAKING KATU]

They'll be all right.
They're tough people.

They've been through worse.
They'll get through this.

I'm trying hard
to believe that.

[GUNSHOTS]

Gunshots!

In the village!

Maybe it wasn't.

[GUNSHOTS]

There's no
mistaking that.

The hell with it.
I'm going back.

Sergeant,
wait a minute!

We're going with you.

Johnson, you're on point.
Drop your rocks.

Baker, you bring up the rear.
Let's go.

Where are
the rest of the weapons?

I don't know.

You lie!

Hey!

What are you doing here?

Call it a garbage detail.

Lieutenant,
you have your orders.

My orders are
to aid and assist

the people
of this village.

That's what
we intend to do.

I've got an order for you, Tung.

You get on out of here
in 30 seconds.

You cannot do this!
I am your ally!

One...

Two...

Wait! I have many friends
in Saigon

and in the American military
as well.

ANDERSON: Three...

Four...

Oh, the hell with it.

Twenty-seven...

Twenty-eight...

Your superiors
will hear about this.

They will not be pleased
when they hear about this.

Lieutenant,
our alliance of our forces

may be weak at times,
but still--

Go!

I'm going.

[GUNSHOT]

Thailand is a long haul.

I appreciate the contacts
with the missionaries.

With a little luck,
I think we'll make it.

You know, I really
didn't like you.

Well, I never felt especially
romantic about you either.

There's some folks back home
wondering about me.

Would you give them these,

and tell them I'm okay.

Yeah, I'll do that for you...

Sergeant Carter.

So you know.
Yeah.

Brigade radioed
two days ago.

Master Sergeant Carter,
Special Forces Group.

Two silver stars.
Not bad.

And honorably discharged.

You've got to understand,

that's what makes me feel
especially good about you.

The guy who saved my tail
is not a deserter.

Take care of
these people, sergeant.

Yes, sir.

[SPEAKING KATU]

Well, I guess he just
got tired of killing people

and decided
to help them instead.

Yeah. Now, ain't that
a subversive idea?

Ain't it, though?
