Why did it take so long?
Last night there was a Viet Cong attack, it's dangerous.
Stop the boat up front first. Up front...
Sally, the boat! The boat's here!
Hey! Stop the boat! Stop! Can't stop! It's too dangerous!
Stop! Don't go!
Go on! No! Come on! Go on! I'll give you gold!
Help me please!
Like this! OK ! Come on, quickly...
Cover of Ben, quick, go on!
Paul!
Be quick!
Paul, quickly!
Sally, Sally...
They're catching up! Luke, get on the boat!
Luke...
Let her go, let go now!
Get on the boat! Luke!
Shit! Why doesn't the boat move?
Goddamn! Hey! Give us a hand now!
If those damn Viet Cong get us, we're dead!
Goddamn it! Aren't you guys worried! The boat's screwed!
Come and help! Stop sitting there like statues?
Luke, can you fix it?
I know you're upset over Sally's death, so am I!
But it's better this way. She won't drag us down!
We're scared shitless not knowing how much longer we'll live.
Isn't that worse?
If this boat sinks, we'll lose all this gold.
Hey! Don't touch my gold!
Ben, put it back! Stop doing that, or I'll shoot!
Come on! Put the gold down, or we won't be buddies.
Are you crazy? Go on! If you shoot I'll blow your head off!
For me, I'm already dead, but I don't want to lose the gold.
Frank, put the gun down. Put the gun down.
Are you putting this gold before your friends?!
Do you still know what friends are?
Do you know what you're doing?
You're pointing your gun at a buddy of over 10 years.
Do you measure your friendship in gold? Is this enough?
Over 10 years of friendship...
That friendship is over, we're not friends anymore.
Shoot then! I've known you for over 10 years.
Over 10 years! If you want, you can kill me!
Please stop throwing it away! I'm sorry!
That's all I'm asking for.
All I want in this life is simple.
Just this box of gold, is that too much?
This boat is sinking! We better do something about it?
I want to take the gold! Forget it, come on!
Quick, jump!
The gold, the gold...
Paul!
My gold!
Paul, come on now, ah!
The gold! Come on now!
I found it, I found the gold!
Paul, are you crazy! Paul!
Paul!
Help!
Go and help him!
I can't make it! Help me! Help! The gold's too heavy...
You wanna die? Forget about the gold! Let's go!
Don't you wanna live?
You can let me die, but I want my gold!
Damn your gold! If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered saving you!
We'll go and find Luke.
Come if you want, if you don't you can stay.
Move
Grab him, don't move! Don't kill him yet.
Luke!...
All of you stand there, don't move! Hands up.
Shit! Why did we look for Luke?
Put the guns down
Today our comrades found American soldiers on hill 43.
Right, tomorrow we attack through the bushes.
Wow, all that gold.
Ben!
Put the gold on the table. Right!
Open it. Right!
Some military intel. It belongs to the 3 outside.
Something's wrong!
Those three guys had the name list and the gold.
A G.I. escaped, get him.
Running away eh? No way, you won't get away!
Speak up!
Is this gold and list of agents connected to the CIA?
The gold and name list belongs to them.
Take him away! Right! Move!
Is this gold yours?
Is the gold yours?
No! Yes... The gold is mine.
Don't hit him. He knows nothing! Don't admit it, Paul.
He knows nothing, don't hit him!
Are you working for the CIA?
We're not Vietnamese, we're not with the CIA.
We don't know anything. No!
He's lying. We know nothing!
Is it from CIA!
We don't know anything, we don't know if it's connected to the CIA.
We don't know anything! We're Chinese! We don't know!
Please believe me! Go to hell!
How much information do you have? We don't know anything.
We're not from the CIA, we're Chinese...
Ben...
Tell them not to shoot at us!
Calm down... Don't panic...!
Ben... Frank... Calm down...!
It's not that easy to get rid of me!
He's staring at me! Calm down!
You!
Get up! Damn it! Run! Stand still!
You kill him! Kill him!
Shoot him! Kill him!
He's from the CIA!
Don't kill me! Please...!
Will you tell the truth now?
We're Chinese. We're not from the CIA.
Calm down!
No! No...
Your turn!
You
No... Calm down...!
I don't kill people, tell them to leave me alone!
Alright! Don't be afraid, Frank! He's going to shoot him!
No, I don't kill people.
Go out! You want to get killed! Listen to me!
We can't die here, we have to go back to Hong Kong!
I'm so frightened... don't force me to kill...!
Get outside, Frank! We got to get some guns!
Tell them not to take me!
This is our only chance! Go!
As if! I don't kill people.
Don't panic! Frank, these bastards are just playing games.
Ben... Take it, Frank!
Shoot him! No... Don't kill me!
Shoot him Please... please don't...
Shoot him! You wanna kill yourself?
I can't! Kill him!
Save your life, don't cry! Shoot! Shoot!
Please don't force me to kill people.
Damn No... please...
Stand up, quick, stand up...!
I'll talk, I'll talk... I know CIA, come on! Come on!
Let me go, come on!
Frank, you must be strong! I can't... I can't!
Frank, don't give a shit, just keep shooting!
You have done a great job.
Kill him! Shoot him!
I don't kill people... Keep cool! Frank... Keep cool...!
Captain, come over here... Choose me, let me do it for you!
I hate Americans! I'll kill him for you, please take me!
Let him go. Yes sir
Where is there CIA? You tell me? In Saigon.
Where...
What? I killed him, are you happy with it?
Who first? Him? OK
Goddamn it.
How dare you! Don't let him!
Are you happy? Is that what you want?
Come on... What?
I make you more happy and have more fun... OK?
I'll kill more Americans.
Kill him...
And... that one... kill that one!
Are you scared? Why not...
Damn you! OK? I make you happy! OK?
CIA is here? sure? Yes, here... In Town Fook.
Whom should we kill? You.
Frank... I've said that we are going back to HK together.
If you don't, nobody will!
Go to hell.
Don't move.
Don't move, I'll shoot, I go for it!
Don't move, I'll kill him, don't move!
What! Ben!
Frank, where's Paul? Who knows.
Apache 1, the village is dead ahead, chinks everywhere, watch your ass.
Take care, Frank!
Let's look for Paul. What about you? You take care...
Damn it! Forcing me to kill, wasn't that hilarious?
You treat me like a dog. I'm not a dog.
Damn you...
Apache one, get your ass in here!
Ben, Ben, let go...
Coordinates 209, get them on the way!
My gold!
Paul, be careful.
Paul, let's go to search for Ben!
Don't bother anymore. He's probably dead.
Leave the gold! It's none of your business.
Paul, go find Ben. Go.
We're stuck together. Damn it.
Frank
Let's go to find Ben. Leave me alone.
Paul...
Paul, I'm not going to make it! Stay away from me.
I am in pain!
Frank!
Luke, did you see Frank? Let's look for him
The US army are going to leave in 5 minutes.
Paul... Keep quiet! Be patient.
I'm in pain! Be patient, keep quiet!
Oh, painful! save me! I don't want to die.
Let's go, move it, move it!
Let's go. You, come on, get in. I can't go yet.
I have to look for my friend.
Go! Take off...
Quiet, you want to die?
Let me go, I am suffering! Quiet!
Don't press my head. I am suffocating!
Go find the runaway.
I can't breathe. Shut up, or I'll kill you.
Over there, let's go.
I don't want to die. Don't blame me.
Frank...
Don't steal our boat.
Paul
For God sake. He needs our help!
We have to send him to the base. People will take care of him!
He can be, for sure! Thanks!
Don't move! Or I'll beat you up!
Luke!
Everyone has to sacrifice in this war!
We are quite lucky though...
We have a chance to see our friends again...!
Any news from Frank?
He's still alive! Really?
I wish I did not bring him back.
He's not the same Frank anymore!
He didn't even know who he is!
I saw Paul shoot him in the head...
He didn't die, it's just a miracle!
Maybe he wants to see his old friends before he dies!
Give me the money, and I will kill him for you.
Take me to see him...
Frank
Frank... Frank! It's me...
The bullet is still in his head, eventhough he had an operation.
He will become a vegetable.
Frank... Stop it!
Frank... Please don't!
Give me...
Frank. Stop it!...
Did you hear? Frank. Don't fight, you will die!
Why didn't you save some for me?
We agreed we'd share everything in life!
We were like brothers since we were kids.
We fight together... We cruise chicks together...
You called me brother all the time. I told you we can just be friends.
Friends are all equal.
Frank. You got so many scars on your head.
Beaten up by your mother, remember?
Because you were so naughty, that she had to beat you up.
It rained heavily the night I got married.
We didn't have enough money to pay the bill...
If it wasn't for your loan! We could not afford to get married!
That night, Ringo hit your head with a bottle.
But you didn't tell me. You're an introverted fuck!
You keep everything to yourself.
I'd like to listen to you, just a few words...
Does it ring a bell? I'm Ben.
I don't mean that! I can't see you like this!
Didn't you tell me you want to go to Hong Kong?
The world is changing... I'm used to my own way of life.
All of a sudden, I have to make a change. I just can't...!
I've got to go back! That's my home!
It's a long way to go... I've got to go back!
Take care!
Sugar cane juice... 60 cents please...
He's not feeling so well these days...
Be good.
Eat something...
Ben! You're back, great...!
His name is Frank.
Boss, Mr. King says he's ready for the meeting!
I think it's time for me to retire.
The world belongs to the young people.
Paul is a very capable person.
We made money, we spent money!
Even the government could not lay a finger on us!
Have guts, and friends enough!
I seldom make a wrong choice!
Paul will be the most suitable successor!
Congratulations... Thank you, Mr. King...
I'll try my best to fulfil my duties... I won't disappoint you!
I have never disappointed myself...
Brother Paul, congratulations Thank you.
An old friend of Paul wants to see him!
OK... anyway. We're through! Show him in...!
Ben, when did you come back?
Let me introduce, Mr. King!
Mr. King, this is Ben, my old friend.
He stuck with me throughout my time in Vietnam.
So thrilled to see you again, really!
I'm so happy to see you...!
Half of mine is yours!
What about Frank? Frank!
He's our real buddy!
He kept telling us to leave him behind when he was wounded
and go with you to Hong Kong.
I wanted to help him, but I was badly wounded.
I was so upset, yet I did my best!
When we went to Vietnam to try our luck!
I promised to bring Frank back to Hong Kong.
I kept my word! I brought him home!
Ben, are you out of your mind? When I saw him in Saigon,
he was crazy, he lived like animal, he led a dog's life!
You know why?
Because he got a bullet in his head!
Why didn't you shoot straight?
Did he have to suffer even more?
Is it worth killing a friend over a box of gold?
There are dead people lying all over the place in wartime.
You could bring back any old skull and say it belongs to Frank!
You want to get revenge? Damn it!
I never lose in my life...
They did not kill me in Vietnam, you think you scare me now?
We are all fugitives in our lives let's see who runs out of luck first!
You're gonna lose, Paul!
It's alright. I've never lost.
Ben, your buddies are with me.
Frank, shut up.
It's your own fault.
You follow me around even after death.
You died grudgingly. Let me help you.
I do want that case of gold, so what?
So you think it's unfair?
You don't deserve a good life.
Let me help you die peacefully.
He said he died grudgingly.
What should we do? Give him one more shot.
Come on, help your buddy... shoot.
Fire.
Come on, one more shot. He'll die peacefully.
Don't let him bother us, Ben. Shoot.
Just stop him, and we'll suffer less.
I can go on earning money.
You can find another buddy.
Shoot.
