Don't forget to prepare the coconuts for the luau tonight.

Okay, where are the boys?

During the school.

Okay, thanks.

Your attention please.

Passengers arriving from Lulú, please proceed to passport control.

Thank you.

Oh, how beautiful.

Thank you.

Yes, I'd like to make an overseas call to Hawaii.

Thank you, Elway.

Do it!

Make that block believable.

Slam it down.

Do it! Fine. Do it!

Big crawl.

Payohana Martial Arts Academy.

Yes, he's here.

Sensei, it's your girlfriend.

Butch, take over.

Hi,

Karen.

Champ, good to hear your voice.

It's good to hear yours.

Good to hear yours.

How was your trip?

Oh, it was really long.

But you should have seen the reception at the airport. It was incredible.

I miss you already, honey.

I miss you, too.

I had nine hours to think about us.

Yeah? And I've decided not to take any more assignments that take me away from

you. I just miss you too much.

Something I want to do, champ.

I think it's important.

Just enjoy yourself.

All right, champ. I will.

Oh! Listen, remember to say a little cowboy for me.

Okay, champ.

I love you.

I love you, too.

I'll talk to you real soon, okay?

Bye -bye, honey.

Bye -bye.

All right, let's go.

You can do it, champ.

What do you think, Glenn?

All right, they're pretty good, huh?

Dave's anywhere, anytime, photos and tours. Dave speaking.

Is this really Karen Kirkland, the model?

The one in all the magazine covers?

Hey, my old buddy Tava's taste in women's really developed nice.

Yes, ma 'am, I'm available.

Just let me clear a few things off my desk here, and I can be right over. Now,

where are you staying?

Excellent. Excellent.

Yes, ma 'am.

I'll be right over to pick up you and your companion shortly.

Yes, ma 'am. Bye -bye.

Oh, Bobby, this little old gig works out, and I'm going to pay half

my bar bill.

See you all later.

Oh, you look good.

Hi, boy.

How's it going?

Hey, what's going on here?

You want me to call the police? No.

No. No police.

I know the... I know the police in this town. They're probably part of it.

Oh.

Oh. The turkey hit me.

We gotta call.

We gotta call. Why?

I gotta let my buddy know what's going on here.

Give me some coin.

Sure.

Where's the telephone? Down by the elevators.

These coins and that finger are going to cause an awful lot of trouble.

What do you mean?

You'll see what he gets here.

Who gets here?

Tiger Shark.

That's who.

Tiger Shark.

Thanks, cowboy I'll be there as soon as I can

What

happened to you just don't ask will you

Just give me the biggest shot of... Just give me the usual.

Tonic water and lime?

Coming up.

Oh, and bring one for Tony, too. But make mine a beer, okay?

She's taking twit.

You see the big guy there in the blue shirt?

She belongs to him, all right?

Just listen to me for a while, will you?

Tava is going to be in on tomorrow's flight.

And?

And he wants us to nose around a little bit.

You mean he wants you to nose around a little bit?

Later, Tom. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Now, wait a minute, Tony. Wait a minute.

You've got to do this for me, man.

Tava's the best friend I ever had in Nam.

And you're the only one of us that's got a set of wheels.

Come on, man.

Double the fares.

Double, triple, I don't care.

Okay, cowboy.

Then let's go to Madame Claude's. That new place on the other side of town.

I don't understand. Hey, many important people go there.

And one can learn a great deal in a very short time.

It was the right lady.

You... I knew it. I knew it.

Look, supposing we decide to go out there, all right?

Answer me one question. Where are you and I going to get the money to buy this

information?

I don't need money at Madame Claude's.

Oh, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. In your hand.

There. This time, you drive.

Me drive?

Right. On these streets, in this town, and me without a kamikaze license.

Who are you?

Where am I? What's happened to me?

None of that is important.

Just concern yourself with staying alive.

Food will be served to you shortly.

I don't understand.

Let me make it clear, Miss Keckland.

You're as good as dead, unless you do exactly as you're told.

What's going on here?

Keep your voice down.

You can't do this to us. I can do anything I want. Anything, Miss Keklam.

You just wait until the American Embassy finds out about this.

Let me assure you, the American Embassy already knows about your disappearance.

It seems your government is incapable of taking any action that would be harmful

to me or my plants.

You're sick!

You're just sick!

Yes, you're seeing Madame Park Okay

But they pay this boy by the pound.

Good evening.

Are you in need of something?

Uh, no, uh, ma 'am, not me. Uh,

it's, uh, my friend over there.

He's looking for something real special by the name of Lolita.

Yes, I understand.

This is Lolita.

She'll take care of your friend's needs.

Yes, ma 'am.

Hi. How do?

My name is Bill Hickok.

Hi, Bill.

Can I get you a drink?

Well, no, no.

Will you want to see upstairs first?

Well, you see, ma 'am, it's not for me.

It's for my friend there.

I guess he's your friend, too.

Excuse me.

Don't get in the car. Don't get in the car.

Can't wait, can you?

Let's go.

Here.

Very pretty lady.

It's warm in here.

Just one minute. Where are you going?

I need your help.

She's too much for you, huh?

No, man. I saw that big goon up there. Karen might be here.

Come on.

Up there.

What?

Karen.

She's got to be here, man. I know this is the right window.

Now, come on.

Give me a little boost up here.

Just... Give me a boost, will you?

Oh, God.

Oh,

man. Oh, God.

The

guard's

here. What?

The guard's here.

How you doing that?

My

leg,

man. Let's go.

Come on, man.

Good going, buddy.

Come on, let's go.

Singapore Airlines flight number 17 from Kuala Lumpur. Well, Jan, I appreciate

the help.

Tava, it's really been great talking to you. Take care of your leg.

Thank you, I will.

Huh?

Where are you taking me?

Would you let go of my arm?

What's going on here?

Really a routine inspection, Miss Carter.

You see...

We suspect certain misguided Americans are smuggling money and other illegal

items to the communist rebels who are attempting to overthrow our government.

Something may not be in order here.

Yeah, you're out of order. I'm not a smuggler.

what I allow you to have.

You Americans, you think the rest of the world will stand aside for you? No

more! You pig!

Listen,

you got a bathroom here?

Restroom? Toilet? There.

Excuse me. Is this the toilet?

Get him out of here!

light to enter uninvited.

It seems you're free of any contraband.

Please accept our apologies.

We'll accept nothing from you!

You're free to go now.

Thanks.

Oh.

Welcome to Sulanesia.

Something is not right here.

It's a little too clever.

What about the girl?

Let her go.

Are you going to be okay?

Yeah, I'll be all right. And what about yourself?

I'll be fine.

I can't thank you enough.

Bye. Bye.

stumbled in a toilet. What?

Nothing. Where's Dave?

Oh, well, uh, he's got a sprained ankle and a hangover.

It's figured.

Go ahead and circle the block and meet me back here.

Looking for your friend?

Leg two.

Boy, don't we make a pair.

Sit down, partner. Take a load off. Hey, Tony, get the man something cool, you

know, out of the box. Sure. Two cold drinks coming.

It's good to see you, partner.

Hello, cowboy.

I see you still got the gift to gab, huh?

Well, you know, that's what it takes to stay in the tourist business.

You know, hyping the folks, showing them all the local culture and all.

I want you to tell me about this guy you saw over at Madam Claude's.

Well, I'll tell you this much.

That goon eats nails for breakfast.

He's got a tree stump for a head.

I recommend that you have all your health insurance paid up before you go

there.

Well, perhaps we'll pay this madam a visit.

In your condition?

Why, they'll put so many knots on your head that you'll have to have a rake to

part your hair.

Cowboy, I don't part my hair.

That's right.

What is this?

I guess I should have known.

Well, I guess you're going to want to step back into the guest room and unpack

few things.

Yep, just a few.

Tava, about your ladies.

Between you and me, cowboy, no apologies are needed.

I felt pretty bad about having blown an opportunity to help the girls. It all

brought back a lot of memories.

On the phone, Tom had informed me that one of the girls in Karen's party was

Aloha, the Vietnamese child we'd befriended in the village of Song Lai.

I'd given the little girl my dog tags as a souvenir.

Then one day, Topper returned to the village and found it overrun by the Viet

Cong.

It's okay now. It's safe.

Come on.

Come on.

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

Huh? You okay? You're not hurt?

Hey, Tony, give me that brown bottle over there with the snake skin on it.

Yeah, bring it here.

This one? Yeah.

You know, that man's real serious about human rights, especially those of his

family.

In Nam, we called him Tiger Shark because he stalked like a tiger.

And fought like a shark.

Here, pour that on.

Pour that on.

What is this stuff?

It's some stuff that I got from an old lady down the street.

You know, kills the pain. Makes it heal a little faster.

Go on, pour it on. It don't smell no worse than some of them little gals you

out with.

Then wrap it with this thing here. And wrap it tight, will you?

It's nice to have a friend like that.

Give me some coins.

Give me some coins.

I was wondering if you'd remember that little stunt.

I'll say this much, you ain't lost your edge.

Good, isn't he?

Mm -hmm.

How do you like your soup, comrade?

It's good, it's good.

Yes, I have an excellent cook.

That's true, comrade.

I have come to enjoy the rich living of the Western imperialists.

One might say that we have lost our dedication to the party.

Yes, I'm well aware of your Western tastes, Vladimir.

In fact, I've taken certain risks to make sure that they are satisfied.

Have you? That is generous of you, comrade. In return for my generosity, I

expect you to provide me with weapons and ammunition for my spring offensive.

This is a list of my requirements.

You will deliver the supplies to my camp in the Salana Valley.

This is a large order, comrade.

50 kilos of the finest opium, ready for shipment in three days.

Plus, 250 ,000 American dollars in cash.

Only 50 kilos.

250 ,000 dollars. You have to do better than that.

Vladimir, last evening, you were shown photographs of a lovely American

model. The young woman seemed to have aroused your interest.

Da, da, very desirable, da. I have managed to obtain

the young woman for your pleasure.

And two more as a bonus.

American girls?

But of course, comrade.

The type you relish abusing. You will deliver the weapons.

I will deliver the women.

Deal?

The women.

We have a deal, comrade.

Where'd you see them?

Second floor, left side.

Okay.

Give me a few minutes, then I'll meet you at the gate.

Gotcha.

What time do you have?

Hey, wait. Oh, I forgot. There's a mission charge, right?

How about five?

Or maybe ten?

Well,

I guess there's no charge tonight.

Comrade. Well, Vladimir, it's all up to you now. You will hear from me, comrade.

On your left!

Can we leave now?

Why are you destroying my house?

The three American girls.

Where are they?

You needed only to ask, and I would have introduced them to you.

He's not talking about your staff regulars, ma 'am.

Who occupies the room at the end of the hall?

That's the VIP room reserved for private gatherings.

Well, where's that big ugly dude I saw on there last night?

Hmm.

I believe there was a meeting there with a gentleman from a foreign embassy.

I'm not at liberty to reveal who he was or which embassy.

That's too bad.

This isn't America, Mr. Toughman.

You could easily end up dead and no one here would be too upset about it.

There are no women on this premises, Americans or otherwise, that have not

in my employ for at least six months.

You will both leave, or I will have you thrown in jail.

If you've lied to me, and if you send anyone after me, I'll kill them.

And then I'll come after you.

Understand?

You been hiding?

The area's not safe.

Oh, that's really sharp.

Well, I saw a van pass by. It's the same van I saw outside the hotel.

Of course, that's how they move the girls.

Tony, do me a favor.

If Madam Claude goes anywhere, follow her. Then let me know.

I'll be over at Cowboy's.

It's out of time.

Dave's anywhere, anytime. Photos and tours.

What?

Are you sure, Tony?

No, no, just stay right there. Keep close.

All right? We'll be here just as quick as we can.

See ya.

You followed Madam Clark?

Yes, as a matter of fact, he did.

Back to one of them old churches out to the side of town.

Seems like an awful lot of interesting people are all of a sudden getting

religion, including that dude that punched my lights out. Well, then let's

Let's move.

Where? Along the side, guys.

Man, this just doesn't add up. Just cool this, cowboy.

This place is supposed to be illegal.

Well, what is it, a dog fight? You'll see.

What's with the old man over there?

He can't hear, see or talk. He's the official starter.

Well, if he's blind, what difference does it make?

Well, with so much betting going on, they don't trust anybody.

this ground and block the free kick that's awarded to the opponent. A false

start? Yes, that's kicking before the red light goes on.

Is that it?

No, no, that's not it. It's only the third round. One more round and it gets

worse. You mean better?

No, I mean it gets worse.

Are you sure you want to do this?

It could be bad.

Important people, too.

So is my family.

Hey.

Hey!

Our American tourist.

I should have guessed it was you.

You've been busy since you got here.

I see your leg is better.

Much better.

You know, you're a clever man with incredibly bad manners.

This is the second time you've busted in uninvited.

Bad habits are hard to break. Yes.

And I have to break you of that habit.

A few have tried.

No luck.

You have offended me and embarrassed my guests.

The girls.

Where are they?

Who are these girls?

They're my family.

What would they be doing here?

I'm sure it wasn't their choice.

I don't know these girls.

Perhaps some of my boys may have come across them.

You're a dead man, Mr. American.

You can't leave here alive unless I say so.

Obviously, you're a man who likes to take chances with his life.

And being the sporting man that I am, I'm going to give you one chance to walk

out of here alive.

You must win a contest in the ring.

On two conditions.

You're in no position to demand any conditions.

But for curiosity's sake, what are they?

One, I fight him.

Oh, Tava, not him.

I am the champion.

The best.

And two, you tell me where the girls are.

Very well.

If you win, I'll tell you.

I'll try.

What's this?

Hey, I tried to tell you

girls. Girls?

What girls?

Bring in his girl!

We had a deal.

Where are they? Bullshit!

It's nothing but bourgeois sentimentality.

You take my advice.

Go home to America.

If you try to cause more trouble.

have to.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I was in the room with the girls when Colonel Barrow instructed his aides to

take them to the Solana Valley, to a military camp.

Are you going to be all right?

Yes, I'll be fine.

Thanks.

Solana Valley, that's communist territory. I guess we're taking a little

huh, partner?

Yep, Tony, can you get us a jeep?

Sure, I'll drive you.

My brother lives there. He's a member of the Civil Guards.

Tava, why in the world would they want to take the girls up to some communist

camp?

I don't know.

And I don't care.

They got my family, and I'm getting them out.

Enter.

Sir, a message from the Soviet embassy.

Vladimir is wasting no time.

Contact the command post.

I want the chopper ready for departure by dawn.

Yes, sir.

Getting some rest, cowboy?

No, I was praying for us and the girls until they erupted me.

Okay.

We're right about here.

Uh -huh.

Well, my brother's village is just to the east of the river.

Okay.

Now we walk.

How come I knew you were going to say that?

How much further?

Just around the Chico Mountain.

That's old, hold it, way to hold it, Tava Parker, you Hawaiian turkey.

Now, you know exactly how far we got to go, because we trained here in 69 with

special forces before going over to... Now, what's a lone chopper doing?

All by itself.

You're supposed to travel in pairs.

Come on, let's go.

You know, the older I get, the smarter my daddy was when he said, never, never

volunteer for anything.

Cowboy, save your breath.

What had this prisoner done?

He was caught eating stolen rice. Stolen rice?

Why?

He say he was hungry.

Hungry.

Then we must feed him.

Open his mouth.

We must not allow our prisoners nor thieves to go without food. Make him

all of it.

And if he refuses...

Shoot him.

What

now?

You just wait here.

Here, put that on.

Lord have mercy, Tava. You do that to me again, I'm gonna have to fall out and

change my shorts.

Look cute real cute

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Big one, pal boy.

Oh!

It's clear.

Let's go.

Hey, how'd you manage to lay there with that snake like that?

I had no choice.

You mother of a scum.

I'm going for a swim, Colby.

Tony?

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's it. Come on.

Pretty handy with that knife, huh?

Bye.

Come on, cowboy, run!

What is all this about staying close?

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

He's a civil guard. He's my brother.

My

friend.

Tava and Cowboy.

Thanks. Tava.

Nice timing, fella.

Cowboy.

Sonny, we're going to Solana Valley.

Why? Well, we believe the rebels are holding Tava's family, and we gotta get

them out.

We just saw two of them buzzards kill a woman and a child just up the river.

Where?

Just about a half a mile below the falls.

It's the home of my... Hey.

We're going to Solana Valley with you.

There's no turning back for us now.

Comrade, to the revolution.

To the people's party.

To good food.

To good...

Which of these lovely creatures is your choice, comrade?

That one.

She would be my choice as well.

When you go back to your room, comrade, she will be waiting.

The balance.

Now let's talk a little business.

We have the merchandise.

I presume you have the weapons you promised.

My crew is guarding them.

You will have your weapons, comrade.

Excellent.

We'll hit them at dawn.

You all know your positions?

Any questions?

Cowboy, you take the first watch.

Don't worry.

Tava will find us.

You saved me once.

You'll save me again.

We ready?

Let's go.

You make more noise than I heard elephants. Now keep it quiet.

Ugh.

Carry him out and clean him up

You

ought

to be thankful I took him away

If he wasn't man enough to handle you, I am.

Get your filthy hands off me!

Stop it!

Come!

Stop!

Stop it!

You're a real spunky bitch, aren't you? Why don't you just leave me alone?

You're stubborn as your boyfriend, aren't you?

You tell him I don't like him!

Get off me!

Your lack of cooperation is a grave mistake.

Surprise, asshole!

Everything's going to be okay.

Where's Aloha and Sherry?

Call me.

Don't let them have that!

This is outrageous.

Pharaoh is a fool to allow this thing to happen.

I'm a Soviet diplomat. I demand my rights.

Right?

You want rights?

There's your right.

Come on, come on, come on, get in.

Come on, get in.

I want to make a toast.

Glasses, please.

To family.

And to love.

Cheers.

Choice to make with my mind in this

way.

Away at the empty sky and

part of my heart flew away.

But now...

The truth all in the twilight.
