[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[CRICKETS SUBSIDE]

What?

I don't know.

The crickets
have stopped.

It's a bunker.

Do you think anybody's home?

Oh yeah,
there could be

a whole NVA battalion
honeycombed in there

if they're tunneled.

I'm calling it in.

Red Leg, this is Bravo Two Six,
fire mission. Over?

Who is that?
What is he doing?

Get me in a circle,
back over that ridge!

Our job is to get you

to firebase Ladybird,
sergeant.

I see movement,
and I smell VC.

Huey, this is
Bravo Six!

Huey, Huey, this
is Bravo Two Six.

Cease fire! Over.

SERGEANT IN HELICOPTER:
Grenade!

Down, down, get down!

[VC SHOUTING VIETNAMESE]

He's seen us,
sarge!

ANDERSON: Get down,
get down, get down!

All right, we're finished
if we stay here, LT.

I'm gonna try
to flank them.

Keep them down with fire!

Go!

Watch your fire!

[SCREAMING]

[GUNS FIRING]

[SCREAMING]

Nice work
out there, sergeant.

Yeah, like
a lot of things,

it shouldn't have
been necessary.

Yeah, I know.

I'm gonna go

talk to the captain
about it right now.

Whoever that hotdog was,
he cost us.

That's his chopper
right over there.

Say what?

All right,
where's the cowboy

that came in
on this chopper?

Nobody's supposed to be near
the aircraft, sergeant--

Classified
cargo.

Where are your pilots at?

Well, Mr. Marks
is over talking to Battalion.

He says he won't
touch this bird again

until all of his gear
is off-loaded.

Who was your other passenger?

Sergeant Earl Ray Michaels,

Fifth Special Forces.
Trainee.

Michaels? That's who
is on this chopper?

So what?

So I heard of him.

He's a myth.
They say he's a legend.

They also say he's
a stone-cold killer.

They say right,
brother.

I'm Leroy James,

Earl Ray's vice president
in charge of demolitions.

So, what business
you got here?

On a mission,
my man. Classified.

Where's the rest of your team?

James, Chan,
and me, we're it.

Pulled off
an A-team operation

for this ballgame

because
of the time factor.

Hey, Anderson, Anderson,

come on in here,
you're a part of this.

Sergeant Michaels,
Sergeant Zeke Anderson.

Anderson
is Goldman's platoon sergeant.

Now...

Where'd you say
this bridge was?

Built in the '30s
by the French.

Part of the Ho Chi Minh
complex,

now a subsidiary route
near the Laotian border.

Charlie's using it to transport

munitions
and supplies?

MACV's expecting
a big convoy in three days.

They want that bridge
to be history by then.

What about an air strike?

Negative, due to
the proximity

of a friendly village.

We need to go in there,
mine the bridge, boom!

Blow it.

James, Chan, and I
will do the bridge.

What I need from you
is a support team.

Lieutenant?

Well, I think it stinks.

But of course,

we're ready to give
whatever support is necessary.

Good, because I'm assigning
you and Anderson

to work
with Michaels.

Excuse me, sir.

You go tramping
into this terrain

with any more
than just a few key men,

you're giving Charlie

an engraved invitation
to the prom.

WALLACE: What did you have
in mind, Michaels?

I think Sergeant Anderson
has a feel

for what we should
be attempting.

I'll need a squad,
a very quiet squad.

With all respect
to the sergeant,

this man came hot-dogging in
today without checking to see

if there were any troops
in the terrain.

He almost got my people
blown away!

Lieutenant Goldman

has already covered
that ground with us.

You have an apology on record
from Sergeant Michaels.

Zeke, if I had known
that were your people in there,

I would have acted different.

I should
have checked.

You're right.
I'm sorry.

This bridge is critical.
All right?

We have
a personality conflict here.

I want it over now,
before it begins.

No problem
here, sir.

Anderson?

I've already
said my piece.

Good.

Goldman, I know you're not gonna
like this very much, but...

Fifth Group should
have sent us an officer,

but they're running
a little low,

so this is Michaels' mission.
Do you have a problem with that?

No, no problem.

You have 48 hours
to get the job done.

Pick your teams.

If the men wanna shake it loose
a bit tonight, it's permissible.

Zeke.

Together again,
huh?

You don't mind

if I don't get
sentimental, do you?

I don't pay it
no nevermind.

I see you signed up
for another tour.

Last time
we conversed,

you had Idaho,
your wife, and baby

in your plans.

Yeah, well, I went,
and they were gone.

Make a damn good
country tune.

Welcome to the club.

That horse farm
I had in Tennessee,

I kissed it goodbye,
along with my old lady.

But what could
be more fun

than renewing
your license

to zap gooks
for your country, huh?

WOMAN: How are you, GI Joe?

It seems to me that most of you

are poorly informed
about the progress of the war,

to say nothing
about having

a correct explanation
of your presence over here.

Nothing is more confusing

than to be ordered
into battle to die

or to be maimed for life

without the faintest idea
of what is going on.

Yesterday, the second
of the 25th was wiped out,

and there is no tomorrow
for you.

Come on, soul brother,

what are you doing
fighting over here

when at home, down south,

you can't even eat
at a white restaurant?

Go home, soul brother.
This is not your war.

Marcus, turn
that crap off, man.

Man, I'm just listening
to the music, brother.

She plays the best R & B.

[ddd]

Dig it, Marvin and Tammy.

Yeow...

I met Marvin once.

Blues club.
Downtown Detroit.

Marvin Gaye?
You lie. Really?

Mm. Hell of a man.

So how many KIA
have you got, Sergeant?

I make it a point
never to keep score,

but you don't
have to see them

to kill them.

What you've got to understand is

right now,
we're chasing a ghost.

We have the day,
he has the night.

He fights when he wants,
waits when he chooses,

but we're going to change
all of that.

We're going to take that night
away from him,

move into his territory,
beat him at his own game.

Damn right.

Tell you
something else.

There's no way we're
gonna lose any war.

Isn't that right,
sarge?

You've got that straight.

The thing about Charlie

is he can survive
a week in the jungle

with just a little handful
of rice.

There's nothing in his history
but struggle-- 2000 years of it,

so he never panics, never.

What are you saying, sarge?

That those zipperheads
are better than us?

Ain't nobody better than us.

I'm just saying
we've got us an enemy

we've got to learn
to respect.

Yeah, well, we seem to die a lot

to occupy those hills
and terrain,

that a week later
mean absolutely nothing.

MICHAELS: Our duty is
to inflict casualties.

Leave the big decisions
to politicians and generals.

No matter how stupid
some of them are, right?

This boy got something
against the war, Zeke?

He's a new breed of soldier.

He's a thinker.

I have some questions
about what it's all about, yeah.

It's about survivors, son.

Surviving is the only glory
in war, right, Zeke?

Yeah... it's a jungle out there.

All right,
listen up, people.

Now, we'll each
be carrying

det cord and C-4
wrapped in plastic.

Now, you can burn it
and you can shoot it,

no problem.

Except with one of
these capsules attached,

cough real loud,
you buy the ranch.

Now, insertion will be
by Slick LZ.

near NVA base area.

Chit-chat to a minimum.

Keep your eyes open
for NVA patrols,

mines,
and booby-traps.

All right.
You got it?

Let's saddle up.

I think I'm gonna hate
this movie.

I'm going to let it be,
Zeke,

but you got me a bunch of
stirrers on this squad

instead of top sticks.

There are no top sticks
in this platoon, Earl Ray.

The top sticks

all went home
in body bags.

Ah, hell, Zeke, when are
they going to turn us loose,

let us win this thing?

Let you and me
call the shots,

and we'll be back
inside of 90 days.

Look.

We need each other
on this thing.

I want you to know
I respect how you feel.

Now, let me tell you
how I feel.

I feel fear
when I go out there,

and I feel pain
when my people get hurt.

That's what I feel,
that's all I feel,

and I left the past
in the past.

Fair enough, but
lighten up, will you?

You've got me feeling
like the enemy.

Don't expect a birthday card
from me, Earl Ray.

You know why
you don't like me?

You know why
I scare you?

Because when
you look at me,

you see yourself.

No wives, no family,
no home,

nothing but war to put
in your memory book,

and that
ain't a country tune

you're gonna want
to two-step to.

Hey!

What the hell's
going on over here?

Come on, we've got
gun ships waiting. Come on.

Hey, so what is this you
heard about Michaels?

We ought to be getting
hazardous duty pay.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

Ask Anderson.

From what I hear,

he found out
up close and personal.

[ddd]

Zeke, I've got 18 days
and a wake-up.

I shouldn't be out here
putting up with this trash.

Nigga, man,
you're so short,

you've got to reach up
to tie your shoes.

I'd be in the rear
with the gear,

if I was you.

Shoot,
I would have been,

but Earl Ray needed me
for this gig.

As soon as we get back,

he's going to invest
in my recording studio.

We're going to be putting out
some bodacious sounds.

Amen to that.

Rock'n'roll is here to stay.

Hey, it must have been
pretty hard

making the grade, huh?

Special Forces and all?

Uh-huh.

The man push you so
hard, you can crack.

I never would
have made it

without Earl Ray.

The man's got soul,
you dig?

Hey, what's
Chan's story?

He never smiles,
he never speaks.

Spooky dude, ain't he?

Mnong tribe, ethnic Chinese.

Now, the Vietnamese
hate him,

but he's
a damn good soldier.

And Sergeant Michaels?

What about him?

I don't know, he seems like
a walking contradiction.

Hail Mary one minute,
preaching war the next.

We've all got to have
something to believe in.

Now, me,
I'm counting on

Jesus and Marvin Gaye
to get me through the night.

And not necessarily
in that order.

All right, there's a ville
about four klicks from here,

but, lieutenant,
the men are dragging.

Dragging?

What have you got here,
Sergeant Anderson,

a nursery school?

All right, that's enough,
Michaels.

Lieutenant, this was
supposed to be

a handpicked
support team.

Now, you know
what--

You know what, Michaels?

The word on you
is you've got a real hard time

working with officers,
you know that?

Not when they know what
they're doing, sir.

You know, I've got a feeling

you're not making a generality
about all officers, are you?

I've got a bunch of C-4
ready to blow a bridge.

Now, you let me know
whether we're on a mission

or just trying to get
more miles to the gallon.

Are you writing a book,
son?

I'm keeping a journal.

Yeah, it could be
a book someday.

Yeah? Well,
just make sure

you get my name right.

I already have.

Hold it!

Hold it! Don't move.
Don't move, nobody move!

Freeze! Nobody move.

Don't move, Lieutenant.

What?
Come on, what the hell is it?

Don't move, Lieutenant.

MICHAELS: Tripwire,
front and back.

All right, Horn,
you're clear.

Back off real slow
and easy now,

slow and easy.

How do you want
to handle this?

ANDERSON:
You're the expert.

Is this guy
a good officer?

It's too early
to tell.

Damn it, Anderson!

Shh, don't move,
lieutenant.

Chan...

Check this out.

Bingo.

MA, 30 pounds
of pressure,

main charge TNT.

Where's that guy
with the pen?

Horn, Horn, let me see
that ballpoint pen.

Don't move!
Nobody move!

Anderson, what the hell
is he doing?

Put a safety bar
in the fusebox,

and remove the pressure ring.

Come on, baby.

Oh, lord...

All right, Lieutenant,
back out real slowly.

Come on.

Horn.

Don't move!
No!

Medic! Doc, get up here!

Well?

Damn!

Well, if Charlie's anywhere
in the neighborhood,

we just
announced ourselves.

Damn it.

How bad?

He's dead.

Take it down.

I want it down.

No, don't touch it.

It might be
booby-trapped.

This country
invites me over here

to fight for
its democracy, right?

Go into Saigon,

there's dudes our age
riding around on Hondas.

Why am I fighting their war,
man?

Tell me,
because I ain't got a clue.

That SOB Michaels

thinks he's fighting
this whole war by himself.

Yeah, he's probably
gonna end up dying

humming God
Bless America too.

What the hell is it
between you two, anyway?

I'm writing an article
for Stars and Stripes.

Keep up
your subscription.

Oh, leeches!

I've got leeches on me!

Let me get it,
let me get it!

Get it off, get it off!

Back off, Ru,
you dipstick,

this ain't
the African Queen.

What African Queen,
man?

Look at that sucker smoke,
and he still won't quit!

Shut up and get
this thing off me!

Bug juice.

It ain't worth
a squat on bugs,

but it's hell
on leeches.

Man, I've got
to get me some of that

for my brother-in-law.

We're talking
bloodsucker, man,

Dracula in
a '57 Chevy.

Hey, cut the chatter.

Ruiz, stash
that cigarette.

Move out. Keep quiet.

Ambush!

Take cover!

All right, crossfire.
Tree line and ridge.

On the top of that
ridge, lieutenant--

Sergeant, you will
hold your position

until we've evaluated
the circumstances.

Johnson!

Anderson,
let's go, cover fire.

Horn, Percell.

Yes, sergeant?

We're gonna take
that ridge, all right?

Sergeant, lieutenant
just told us to hold our ground!

Son, I was doing this

when the lieutenant
was popping zits,

worried about a date
for Saturday matinee.

Horn, leave that radio.
I need you for backup.

Hey, look, Sergeant,
I don't think we should--

Don't give me any lip,
son, just do it!

Come on!

Are you boys ready?

Yes, sir, sergeant!

Who the hell is that?

John Wayne.

[SCREAMS]

I've got you,
I've got you, man.

I've got you,
I've got you, man.
Horn?

HORN:
You're gonna be okay.

I've got you,
I've got you, man.

Horn. Horn!

Horn! Horn!

Horn! Horn!

Horn, shoot him.

Horn, shoot him!
Shoot him!

Horn, shoot him!

Shoot, Horn!

Where's Horn and Percell?

Took some fire down below,
last I saw them.

Being around you
is like

being a hitchhiker
in a hailstorm.

I learned a long time ago,

none of us
are walking in the sun.

All right,
it's a rough terrain

along
these coordinates,

and we will be headed
right smack-dab

into the TAC air and
artillery free-fire zone.

Unless we detour,

we're inviting Charlie
to join the party.

RUIZ: Sarge?

It looks like
we've got everybody.

Checked the rucksacks
and found commo wire.

All right, police up
all the bodies.

Get all the weapons,
gear, and everything,

then bury them,
bury them good.

If this work detail
doesn't come back,

they're going to come
looking for them.

VC?

Anything that's dead and yellow
is a VC.

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

Come on, Zeke.
What the hell?

This place could still
be crawling with VC.

This is her mother,
Michaels.

Yeah, well, things are rough
all over.

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

Look, Zeke.

You want to be noble?
You want to save the world?

Join the damn Peace Corps.

Shut that hole in your face,
Michaels!

[SPEAKING VIETNAMESE]

Hey, what the hell
is going on here?

We're about to open
up a burial service.

Maybe I'll take an ad out
in the local newspaper.

Michaels, you say one more word,
I'm going to kick your butt--

We're supposed to be
blowing a bridge,

partner, not
babysitting gook kids.

Hey, get him off!

Get him off!

What the hell
is wrong with you?

Hey, come on!

Hey, come on!

Come on!

Come on!
Come on, man!

Damn it! Damn it!

You want to do something, huh?

You want to do something,
you do it real quick!

God, I am sick of this!

All right,
the damn show's over,

now let's get back
in line right now!

Somebody ought to say
a prayer or something.

Something.

To, uh...

"To everything
there is a season,

"and a time for every purpose
under heaven.

"A time to be born,

"a time to die,

"a time to plant

"and a time to pluck up
that which is planted.

"A time to kill,

a time to heal."

Sorry, man,
I don't remember the rest.

Okay, let's move out.

Let's go.

Lieutenant, the girl said
that there are NVA up ahead.

There are NVA

from here
to Cambodia, Zeke.

Listen, I wasn't looking
for anything from this girl.

She's thankful that we care,

and she's trying
to return the favor.

I wouldn't buy a postcard
from that kid.

All right,
all right.

Did the kid give you
any idea of, like,

the strength between here
and the bridge?

She said she used to live
in the ville beyond the bridge,

and from what I got out of her,
there are roving units there.

Sir, the people here
are all VC sympathizers.

Now, if Charlie didn't know
we were here before,

he's probably getting it
by Western Union by now.

What would you have us do,
Michaels?

Hunt down all the rest
the villagers and grease them?

What I would like to do
and what I can do

has diddly to do
with our objective.

Which is to blow the bridge,

and I'd like to see the sun
come up in the morning,

if you don't mind!

[SIGHS]

All right, Lieutenant,

we've got ourselves
a major problem here now,

because if this girl
is VC,

then we cannot
leave her here,

otherwise she'll be
telling Charlie about it

before we clear the horizon.

And if she's not?

We are not leaving her out here
in the middle of nowhere.

Are you kidding me, man?

All right,
all right, all right!

We take the girl with us
as insurance.

Wonderful. We've got ourselves
a little Mickey Mouse Club, huh?

Oh, why don't you just
shut up, Michaels,

and stick with the
program here, all right?

Are you forgetting
whose mission this is?

No, I'm not forgetting
anything, sergeant.

[DISTANT THUNDER]

[SIGHING]
Lieutenant,

it's gonna rain.

All right,
let's go, come on.

Come on, baby, come on.
Come on, come on.

Come on, baby, let's go.

She sure picked a great time
to get born, didn't she?

Percell.

How's the head?

It just hurts some.

Another inch, and you would have
been fertilizing that bush.

Ho Chi Minh trail, baby.

Give me a button to squeeze,
and I'll be blowing that sucker

clean off
the face of the planet.

The trouble is,
Taylor,

it's not one trail,

it's thousands
of trails.

If we'd have hit that field
10 minutes earlier,

we'd have all had
our reservations canceled

by our own plane.

Sarge knows
how that feels,

right, sarge?

At least,
that's what I hear.

What are you
talking about,

friendly fire?

No, man, we're not talking
about friendly fire.

We're talking about
zigging

when you should
have zagged. Dig?

You a career soldier, Ruiz?

Are you kidding?

Do you think I'd ship
into this hellhole

to get my butt
shot off?

You've got guts. Not afraid.

I like your style.

Yeah?

Well, I ain't so sure
I like yours, sergeant.

Courage comes wrapped
in different packages, Ruiz.

Sometimes you stumble and fall.

It takes courage
to go on from there.

You got a minute?

Yeah.

Did you ever tell Ruiz
or the others

about what went down
between us?

I told you, Earl Ray,

I left the past
in the past.

But, hey, you're creating
a whole new present

with stunts like you pulled
with Percell and Horn.

Well, then,
where in the hell

is he getting
his information?

You know, Earl Ray,

when I joined up,
I was pretty naive,

I didn't know much about
what made the world go around,

but, hey, I got old real fast
serving with you.

You got old the minute your
plane touched down in Saigon.

We all did.

No, no, no,
because I'm not like you.

You don't understand that,
do you?

You're high on war.

I'm just trying
to survive

with a little bit of dignity.

I'm just part
of the assembly line, sergeant.

It never should have happened,
what happened, Earl Ray.

It never should
have happened.

I still
get nightmares.

You don't think I do?

You don't think
I have nightmares?

It's war, man.

No, what it was
is you were careless.

You were
out of control.

You got good people
killed.

I also
saved your life.

You never would have
had to do that

if you hadn't been
making up your own rules

as you went along.

Our mission
was to inflict casualties.

Now, sometimes
you've got to take hits

to score hits.

Don't give me body counts
and kill ratios,

because I was there!

I stood in
elephant grass

splattered
with my people's blood!

I heard 17- and 18-year-old kids

crying out for their mamas
all night long,

and I saw them die
in the mud and the rain!

I made a mistake, Zeke!

I said it. There.
I made a mistake!

That whole firefight
had no meaning.

No meaning
whatso-damn-ever.

Except maybe
to the kids that died.

[ddd]

That's the bridge?

Yes, sir,
that is the bridge.

Let's go.

Look, Zeke,
I know who I am,

and I'm never gonna
apologize for that.

Let's go, man.
The faster we're in and out,

the faster I'm on
a magic carpet ride

back to Motown.

Let's go.

Right.

Let's go.

Let's get you
home, brother.

[ddd]

All right.

Johnson, you go get
the rest of the guys

and move down there
and provide cover.

I need you to help me out
with some cover.

No strain,
Kemosabe.

Hey, where's the girl?

It was Baker's turn
to watch her, man.

Where is the girl,
Baker?

She's with Ruiz.

She ain't with Ruiz.

He says
she was with you.

Well, yeah, she was.

She was sleeping
a while,

but then
she woke up.

I guess she went
toward Ruiz again, man.

Damn!

Get over with the others
and lead cover!

What?

The kid, she's gone.

Going home, baby.

Marvin... here I come.

Right on, brother.

[LITTLE GIRL SHOUTING]

It's the kid.

They're gonna
see us!

[SHOUTING IN VIETNAMESE]

Ah!

Give me the cord.

We did it, Leroy,
man...

You're going home,
Leroy, son.

You're going home, man,
you're going home.

No, man.

No.

No, Leroy. Come on.
Don't die on me, man.

Don't die on me.

Don't die on me.
Don't die on me.

Leroy!

Leroy, don't, man!

Come on!

[WAILING]
Come on!

Damn this war...

Damn this war!

Damn this war.

Damn this war...

All right, you guys,
chopper number two!

Number two!

You guys, bird number one.

Baker.

You and Johnson,
take James.

We'll take it
from here, Sarge.

You know, Zeke,
sometimes you realize

you may be nearer
the end of something

than the beginning.

You wonder
if anything you've done

makes a damn difference.

Hey! Hey, you're not
responsible

for James
getting killed.

He was my friend.

Ah, that don't
mean nothing.

Look, Michaels,

maybe it's time
you go on back

to Fort Bragg,

teach what you know
to somebody else.

Come on,
you're in the right!

War is what I know!

Trained to kill.
I can't teach it!

Hell, I don't want
to teach anybody

to do this.

Let's get out
of here.

Come on.

[ddd]

[ddd]
