You're going to be all right, man. Bird's just down the hill. Hang on.

Come on, help me get him up.

I was assigned to

you for medical rescue. I've been fighting for these boys' lives, so make

fight you too.

Amen. Take a hit of this.

It's better than nothing.

I know how you feel.

The desktop duties suck.

You know, we ain't killed up a goop since they stuck us with David.

Yeah, no goop killed you.

You siding with David?

Hey, I got a lot to get back to.

Uncle Sam says fly rescue, fine by me.

Where you at?

21 and a wake up.

And it's back to the world.

I'll call.

Well, there you go.

Two pair, eight's high.

Ah.

It's me.

I know why I love you so much.

I know why I love you so much, because you keep blowing all that stuff up in my

directions. I can't read my cards. He can't play cards. I love you so.

I'm kind of broke. Will you lend me a quarter bucks? I wouldn't lend you

anything. I'll give you my Havana as collateral.

I'll tell you what.

Keep your cigar.

You can have 60 bucks.

You only owe me 85.

You might as well just give it to me. I'm gonna win it.

It's hot in here, boy.

I don't like to drive.

Tex, will you open the windows for me, please?

I'll do it.

No, maybe it'd be better for you if you just transferred out of here.

You think if I transfer someplace else, it ain't gonna be the same shit?

Besides, man, who's gonna watch out for my buddy Lee here?

All right, Jimmy, you in or out?

They calling you, man. Go on.

I'm cool.

Blackjack, let's move in together.

We'll load up first.

Boys, pick up the leftovers.

Roger.

Libra One, do you read?

Libra One, do you read?

Libra One, I say, do you read?

Commit over.

We got you, Zebra One.

Hang tight. We're coming in.

Hey, Stuart, I see purple smoke over here.

Who the hell is that?

C4 -1, C4 -1, what color is your smoke? What color?

Purple, purple.

He's all coming, didn't you?

Probably in on it, you fuck.

Hey, give it a break, man. He didn't know nothing.

What are you doing?

Too many of them, man. You're going to get us all killed.

Hey,

come back!

It's gonna be all right. It's gonna be all right.

All right, man. I got you. I got you.

You're all right, man. You're all right. Look, look. Right here. Right here.

Right here.

You want me to wake up?

You believe it?

Yeah, well, it's gonna be a lot sooner now, man.

A lot sooner.

You did the right thing coming to me. I talked to the colonel about it. Thank

you, sir.

You're shooting your wad off about.

Man, if you're trying to get Stewart grounded for what happened, you're

your time.

He's a goddamn hero for Christ's sake. Jimmy could have died today.

But he didn't.

You just don't get it, do you?

No.

You don't fucking get it.

You try slinging Stewart's ass, you just watch your own.

Hey.

I told Major Stewart what Stewart did.

He didn't want to question it.

Hey, thanks.

Never gonna forget this.

I owe you.

Sorry, man.

Look, just buy me a new watch, all right?

Hey.

Here.

I was thinking Rolex.

She gonna fly?

She'll fly.

Won't hold no water.

But she'll fly.

What do you think, sir?

Stewart's the one with the cap on.

Major Stewart, I thought you said you were going to talk to the colonel. It's

been handled.

What do you mean?

Look, even you said Stewart's a loose cannon. How can he still be alive? I'm

waiting for you.

I don't need this.

Down top's a crider.

Uh... Yo, ho!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

You got a first name, huh?

Matthew.

What?

Just got here yesterday. I have four ruck...

They get you that there?

I promised my mother I'd fight her.

You always that worried about your dick?

Hey, chucklehead.

You watch out for Lee.

He used to be VC.

I ain't kidding you. You would.

Sir's on the border between North and South Man.

Right, Lee?

I like...

It's okay, man.

It's okay.

What do you keep bringing that up for, man?

What?

My conversation.

We'll get used to all this.

We'll be here a while.

New second tour.

Used to fly nukes over.

No way.

Yeah, didn't you know?

We're nuke ready.

Just do chicken shit to use them.

Yes, we would. Put a nuke PC to hell.

No, it's a hoax.

No, it's a hoax.

It's why I re -upped by a flick.

He went from nukes to gooks.

Why'd you do it?

What? You know what?

Listen. You gotta get in the right spirit of thinking.

What'd I say to you?

Nobody said nothing.

This is a fucking war.

In case you haven't noticed, they're kicking the shit out of you.

A stem hit it.

Angel 32.

52 miles west on a 280 out of Saigon.

Code Firehawk. Repeat, Code Firehawk.

What? What does that mean?

I don't know. Some classified shit.

Silver Fox, do you read?

Listen, you're talking to the whole fucking world.

Move to a secure channel. Over.

Silver Fox, do you read?

It's fucking classified, guys. It's supposed to maintain radio silence.

Think he's more concerned about his life right now?

You gonna call it in?

Why don't you help the other guys load?

David, we're a team here.

Remember that.

You give me a hand with this?

Journal?

Sort of, man.

What, am I in it?

Better hope not. Gotta be dead to get in this boat. That's how he keeps track of

how many gooks he's splattered.

I got 63.

I'm going for an even 70.

How long has he been here?

One thing I don't keep track of.

Guys, I never did that, man.

They're dead now.

It's like some kind of goop curse, you know?

It's like they can hear you count the days in your head, and when you're

close to going home, they waste you.

They just fucking waste you, man.

Can we put him down a sec?

You ever smoke any shit?

You mean marijuana?

Forget it, man.

What?

Leave me still out there.

Are we circling back?

No, there's too many of them!

Right, David?

Stay upright.

Get a grip, Bob.

How many you got now?

Did you do it?

70.

All right.

Yeah, man.

That's really something.

Now, you're going to show your kids this someday?

Wish I'd have done it.

You got engine failure, bruh.

20 clicks, two doors, I'm gonna take him out.

Easy. Easy now.

Easy.

Slow.

Looks like you're going home today, soldier.

Come on, let me see.

Nah, I'm all right.

I'm gonna lift up your shirt, Tex.

Would you leave me the fuck alone?

You guys!

I'm bleeding.

I'm bleeding.

I got some bandages in my first day, kid.

I'm just trying to figure out what happened.

Why don't you come up here and give me a hand?

It's got to be the Dinks, huh?

Shot us up good.

What the... Hey.

Son of a bitch.

I checked this on pre -flight.

I did.

I believe you.

So what happened?

What are you doing?

Somebody loosened the fuel line to come off in flat.

You dink shit!

Because the mark I have, that's what I do.

Well, don't baby him.

How do we know you didn't do it, huh?

I'll find out. It's Lee.

Fuck. I've been saying it all along. I don't think it's Lee, man. He don't know

nothing about engines.

What are you saying? It was me? I didn't say that.

Look, maybe it was just one of them.

Look, look. That thing was saying it was Hobbs who did it.

Couldn't have come undone by itself, huh?

Nah.

Thing's a bitch.

Needs a wrench to come off.

You sure you put that thing on tight?

I checked it.

I'm almost sure.

A second ago, you were positive.

Mayday, this is Blackjack. 20 clicks northwest.

What the fuck are you doing?

Giving us coordinates.

I did that. You said do north. We're northwest.

Don't you know the VC have radios? I said north for a reason. It puts them in

the area.

Why don't you just bend over and let Charlie fuck you up the ass?

We gotta move from here.

He's right.

When I was infantry, man, groups would swarm like sharks and shit like this.

Oh, fuck.

Better not be you.

I think we should stay.

David's life's getting fucked by gooks, too.

Is that it?

You and Hobbs here want to stay behind.

No, it's just that if we leave from here, no rescue's ever going to find us.

You got your head so far up your ass, you can't see shit.

All right, everybody, get your gear.

We're moving out.

And that's an order.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm just going to go see my old crew. They know where to find you.

Now, if you want to be on that plane out of here this afternoon, I want you to

get into that bed and rest.

Come on, Doc.

At least let me get some fresh air.

There you go.

Fresh air.

Rat.

George, what's his problem?

You know how we be riding on the rollercoaster, man?

And there's always some cocky bastard riding in the front seat with no hands?

That guy comes from a whole line of dark hair.

His brother fought in Korea, big hero.

His father, same thing, World War II.

Won all kinds of medals and shit.

But Stuart ain't just here to beat the comms. No, he's got to beat his whole

fucking family.

Yeah, Jimmy's the luckiest son of a bitch of us all, man.

He's probably on his way home by now.

Back home sucks, too.

Went there on leave?

Civilians, man. They don't give a flying fuck about us.

So they told us out.

You can deal with it.

So no bugs get in.

Sweet.

Hey,

I'm not playing.

What for?

Stay here and dig your own way.

Are you sure, man?

Yeah.

Let's do it. Hold up.

He says we're going in the wrong direction. Not for base camp or not.

No.

Base that way.

If we go that way, we'll be in Cambodia.

Creepy shit trying to trick him.

He here moving to river What

are you trying to pull you see you man you see they're coming

spread out spread out

All right, who made the noise?

It was an accident.

Come with me.

There.

Oh, you're a scout, right?

Scout.

I'll go alone.

We'll be back.

Hobbs, secure the rear.

I didn't hear nobody call for a medic.

At least not yet.

I can't laugh.

Everything's fucked.

Well put, man.

Look, I don't like this, all right? We need to go after him.

The orders are to stay here.

Well, Stuart has lost it.

You're full of shit.

What about the radio home? What the fuck was that?

Man needs some R &R big time.

Lee's the problem here, little thing. You don't want to say that Lee knew

nothing about engines, right?

You don't.

He faked it.

It's part of his plan.

Was it part of his plan to get left behind VT about the camera?

They could have been there to meet him.

Maybe he wanted to get left behind.

Sure.

Sure, he rigged the engine, then he tried to get us to leave without him.

And you believe that?

Yep.

He did fuck up with the map.

Yeah, well, maybe Stewart did.

That's far enough

Smoke

Thanks.

You're going to have to get by me, hot boy. You going to kill me? What is this,

a cooking contest? I'll put you into your fucking grave.

Peace.

I told you we'd be back. What happened?

He misread a map, that's all.

I'll navigate from here on.

Lee, I'm going to need all your map.

Well, do it.

Take a look in here, yellow man.

Well, I'll be dipped in shit.

Well, pick it out.

Mine.

Engine fuel.

That's not mine.

It's not.

It's not. Don't do him, man.

It's not.

Please, please listen to me. Have this get in there, man. That's not mine. Just

tell me how to get in.

Please believe me. Well, believe this, motherfucker. You're about to die.

Enough! All right, now let's move out.

Lee, you take the point.

Anything.

I'd do anything.

Peg, take his gun and move him in the brush.

Why?

I did what was necessary. No, what you did was murder a man in cold blood.

Don't let him sling no more shit.

He's already been making like you're crazy.

We have an unexpected opening on point.

Why don't you take it?

Lock and load.

What is it?

Aries booby trap.

Good eyes.

Sir, plane's about ready to leave, sir. Thank you.

Hey, Jimmy.

Fuck your lady, good and hard bro Gary here.

Big tits, huh, Jimmy?

You guys, try not to beat off too much.

Fuck you.

Hey, Tony.

When you see David, tell him I said goodbye.

If I see David, he's M .I .A.

Great thing. Now I'm waiting for him to tell me my crew is missing in action.

Since when do you give a shit about anything but getting your ass out of

I don't have approval for that.

Why the hell not?

Sir, they're waiting on you.

What is it?

Guilt?

Let me help you out. Just because you came in here, we're going to get on this

right away.

Now you go on home and you feel good about it.

No rescue you moron!

This way.

This way.

Thank you.

Shit, fuckers were all around us.

It only grazed your leg.

Don't let him be mad.

Look, feel for yourself, all right?

What do you need with a fucking dick anyway?

Shut up, man.

That's right.

He's fucking Angela and Paul Miller.

Oh, shit.

Hey, man, why don't you let me take a look at that?

It's nothing.

Order him to lift up his shirt up.

Now, don't go pulling no rank shit on me.

See?

Nothing.

Look, man, if you don't want me touching you, fine, all right? But that shit

needs to be wrapped.

Why ain't they looking for us?

Keep this shit wired on tight.

There's still goose around. I can smell them.

We're not going to make it, are we?

We'll make it, man.

What's her name?

Chanel.

Serious?

I was.

She ended it a week before I left.

Why are you still carrying her picture?

I guess I just hadn't gotten around to getting rid of it.

I think I know why. No one's coming to look for us.

Hey, David.

Remember that distress call we got?

The one about the plane going down?

Yeah.

Well, it went down not far from here.

It was on some classified mission.

Code fire something.

So?

So, Angel Face. The Army's going to be looking for this plane long before any

us. We get to it.

And we're right where they're searching.

We'll be going up today.

Why, sir?

The area you're friends with down there is being napalmed.

I thought no one knew where they are.

All I can tell you the area is being napalm. That's why there's been no

Probably all dead by now When can I go sir?

When the area is clear, but I'm afraid norm here is right

What's the matter?

The river.

We can cross over by those rocks. That's not what I'm talking about.

At least they're going the wrong way. We've come to a river.

Don't you think there's more than one river, Davis?

Hey, check it out, everybody.

Davis here just found the only river in Vietnam. Well, maybe Stuart read the map

wrong. Listen, when I was a co -pilot, all I did was read maps.

Base camp is due east.

If you're lucky, that plane went down northeast.

If you just stand here, shoot me shit.

We ain't never gonna find it.

I think we're going the wrong way.

I don't know, man.

I came here wanting to be like

that.

You don't want to be like that.

Just like not be afraid all the time.

Man, you be afraid, all right?

That means you got something here and something here.

You just hold on to what you feel, because that text, he ain't got nothing.

Well, come on!

Something wrong?

I'll just keep your eyes open for a while.

Landmark? Yeah.

Plane should beat you.

Even north.

Yeah, I'm pretty good with the map.

I gotta go.

of us.

I'm telling you, I got an idea.

Yeah, well, I don't want a crazy party getting us killed.

Oh, gee, man, look out!

Fucking target practice, man.

David, you're gonna need another book for all these fuckers. Who taught you

that?

Me.

Tried it once before.

Didn't work out so well. Fucking A.

Bunch of dumb lucky shits, all of you.

And what's your problem?

Weapon not firing.

Over here.

Finish the job.

Good.

What for?

You don't kill him.

He's going to kill you later.

Well, I'll take my chance.

Waste it.

Yeah, I'll do it.

I'm giving you an order.

Waste it!

You're fucking automatic.

Yes, I do.

When

we

get back, I'm going to write you up.

You and Davis.

Relax, man. We're all in this together.

Don't give me that man shit.

Hobbs, while I'm gone, you're in charge.

Where are you going?

Check up ahead.

Anything happens, you call the shots.

Got it?

Man.

Roger, Coachman.

That's it, right?

Right all clear?

I don't have anybody I can spare right now. Then I'll go alone.

You do that and you're going to have a lot of people around here shitting in

their pants, buddy. Just have it cleaned up before I get back.

Call back.

You're in deep shit, Lieutenant.

What should I do?

Give me it.

Control to Striker One. Come in, Striker One.

Area's clear, sir. I don't understand.

That's right.

You don't.

Striker One.

Return to base.

ASAP. Over.

Repeat. Return to base.

Jimmy, you little shit.

I know you hear me, so listen carefully.

Turn around, or I'm going to see to it that you don't go home for a long, long

time. I guarantee it.

You won't listen to me.

You are... second in command. Look, I don't feel right about this. It's got to

be done.

And you're the only one that can do it.

Go ahead.

We think that Hobbes should take over.

I, um... Are you part of this mutiny or not?

No.

Hell, I ain't part of no mutiny.

Well, that just leaves you two.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

The peace protester.

And the dope fiend.

Hellbait.

Why don't we tell everyone the real reason you're not still infantry?

His sergeant wanted him to fuck out.

Because he fragged one of his men.

Tell us, Bates.

How much shit you got to smoke to be that much of a fucker?

Move out.

Stay low.

RPG, cover me.

What happened?

Fuck.

Who's B?

You ran after one.

Sir, we got to do something.

Stuart's crazy. I saw him kill Bates.

You know Dr. Lightman here.

Just calm down, Jim.

Calm down.

Doc says you've been having a problem relaxing.

I can see he's right.

Your friends are part of an important mission, and you almost jeopardized

You're going to have a long sleep, Jimmy.

And that's an order.

Bad shit going down here, man.

I saw his face.

He didn't give a fuck, you know?

Well, I was not.

Me and my sister, we was walking through a white neighborhood, right?

And these two men jumped out of nowhere.

Threw her down.

And took turns raping her.

Couldn't even do nothing.

You know who did it?

Yeah.

Police.

And the whole time, I just sat there and watched their faces.

It's that same fucking look.

He got the 82.

He'd have liked that.

Says it's even.

Don't mean nothing.

Damn, gooks are still eating us alive.

Still?

Think we're gonna lose?

Uh -huh.

Take a miracle to turn things around.

You believe in that shit?

Yeah, I do.

Back home in three, four... What if we can work one?

Make it so we win.

Would you do it?

Hell yes.

Even if it costs you life.

I guess so.

We find that plane, you'll have your chance.

Huh?

A miracle.

It's on board.

What are you talking about?

Code Firehawk.

The code that that plane gave us just before it went down.

It's nuclear.

It's carrying a goddamn warhead.

Wouldn't it have blown in the crash?

Nah, now the thing's rigged so nothing will blow up.

But I know how to detonate it.

It takes two of us.

You and me.

Hey, we detonate one nuke, it's going to cause a domino effect.

The president's going to have to commit to fighting this war the way it should

have been fought all along.

Nuclear.

What do you say?

How about me and you do what those cocksuckers in Washington don't have

balls to do?

What's taken?

Um, you constipated or what?

Davison.

I got to talk to you.

Flame we're going after?

Hey,

shit brains.

Next time you stay in here, shut it.

I can't let him go out.

David, six points.

David!

Davis, where the hell are you?

Where'd he go?

Stay here.

Looks like the peace protest has got a little fight in them after all.

But if you don't have follow

-through, you don't have shit.

No!

Leave him for the dinks, man.

I think I'd better take over here.

I'm... Hey!

I'm serious!

I'm leaving you with command, sir!

You two just hang out.

I knew something like this was gonna happen to me.

Hans.

I'm going to leave you. I ain't bullshitting. What the fuck do you want?

You lay here, all right?

You're going to be nuked just like the rest of us.

Tell the guy.

Tell the guy.

Toy Bag, they win too.

Say it.

Toy Bag, why are you... What's that?

Shiet.

Full ton of shit.

The dick must be the record.

No.

I am the interpreter.

Is it armed?

No.

He wants you to show him how to arm it.

Well, there's a relief underneath.

Don't do it, man.

Oh,

God.

What?

What is it?

Thank you.

There's nothing much I can do except loosen these bandages a little bit. Come

on. Come on.

Davis.

You know, I hope this was all worth it.

They have the nuke?

It wasn't nuclear.

The thing's rigged with explosives. If they dig with it, it'll blow.

What, like a trap?

For them.

Well, you better pray hard.

Pray hard for your fucking soul.

Why did you lie?

He'd been lying from the start.

When he got the distress call, he rigged the fucking fuel line.

No, he didn't.

I mean, he didn't even have to.

All you did was close the throttle, didn't you?

Took her down right where you wanted.

Fuel line was disconnected, dumb shit.

Yeah, after we crashed.

Dumb shit.

Still?

You down the chopper?

Man, fuck the chopper.

He planted the wrench on me and he shot Bates.

That true?

Rock.

What's going on?

Tell me, what the fuck's going on? All right, all right, all right.

We're trying to target an NVA munitions depot.

We take it out, we eliminate the southern push.

So we created a situation.

We crashed a stripped -down plane with a dummy warhead on board.

Roach bait.

To penetrate NVA munitions.

We booby -trapped the sucker so that if they tried to fuck with it... And what

about my crew?

Part of the bait.

The plane with the nuke goes down. There's got to be a search.

Jesus.

You're talking suicide.

They never volunteer for that.

No crew would.

Stewart used to fly nukes.

So when we faked a distress call for the NBA, we figured if Stewart bought it,

then all of them weren't real.

Extra insurance.

You want to shut that off?

Take off. I'll have you shot out of... Scott, it's not too late to stop this.

Major!

Change of plans?

You said it.

Straight to Leavenworth.

We need technical assistance.

I want them out.

Release them, and I'm yours.

No, I don't think that is possible.

Then there's no deal.

Wait.

What are you up to?

You see that tree house?

Ain't it pretty?

Huh?

These butt heads on the left are all yours.

Sing toy, fuck fuck.

Hey, how you doing? Nice hats.

You need to take the red wire out. The

other

one.

Right.

Now all you have to do is pull it.
