1
00:00:45,884 --> 00:00:47,344
Thank you, Colonel!
2
00:00:49,388 --> 00:00:53,350
Sorry. Hey, come on.Coming through! Coming through!
3
00:00:53,433 --> 00:00:54,893
-That's for you.-All I'm saying is,
4
00:00:54,977 --> 00:00:57,521
I can't remember the last timeChickie paid for a beer.
5
00:00:57,604 --> 00:00:59,189
Wait, are you calling me cheap?
6
00:00:59,273 --> 00:01:02,067
No, he's calling you a freeloader.Now, where's my change? No, he's calling you a freeloader.Now, where's my change?
7
00:01:03,151 --> 00:01:04,152
Thank you.
8
00:01:04,235 --> 00:01:05,404
Are you shittin' me?
9
00:01:05,487 --> 00:01:06,613
-Hey, Noodle.-Mmm?
10
00:01:06,697 --> 00:01:10,284
When I get off a ship flushed with cash, who picks up more tabs than me?
11
00:01:10,367 --> 00:01:11,618
-No one.-Bingo.
12
00:01:11,702 --> 00:01:14,204
But you haven't been on a shipin three months. Do the math.
13
00:01:14,288 --> 00:01:17,082
Can't even go to the Shilling no more,'cause he ain't paid his tab!
14
00:01:17,165 --> 00:01:19,334
Hey, that's bullshit!I can't go to the Shilling no more,
15
00:01:19,418 --> 00:01:21,336
because that's wherethe Keenan brothers hang out.
16
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:23,755
They still mad about you and their sister?
17
00:01:24,423 --> 00:01:26,383
I don't know. And I don't wanna find out.
18
00:01:26,466 --> 00:01:28,510
--Hey, who put this shit on?
19
00:01:28,594 --> 00:01:30,429
I did. I love this song!
20
00:01:30,512 --> 00:01:31,555
I love this song too.
21
00:01:31,638 --> 00:01:33,515
-This song sucks.-It's not great.
22
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,310
Hey, Colonel! One more round!
23
00:01:36,393 --> 00:01:39,146
Forget it, Donohue.You're three weeks behind on your tab.
24
00:01:39,229 --> 00:01:41,273
This ain't on me! It's on Brendan!
25
00:01:42,274 --> 00:01:43,650
Lucky boy!
26
00:01:43,734 --> 00:01:46,028
And keep 'em comin'!
27
00:01:51,491 --> 00:01:52,659
--Hey.
28
00:01:54,244 --> 00:01:56,747
Get your ass out of bed, you lazy bum!Come on.
29
00:01:56,830 --> 00:01:58,999
-Fuck. I'm up.-You're not up!
30
00:01:59,082 --> 00:02:02,920
11:30 mass began ten minutes ago, for Chris-- Get the hell up, Chick! 11:30 mass began ten minutes ago, for Chris-- Get the hell up, Chick!
31
00:02:03,003 --> 00:02:05,047
I went there five o'clock last night.
32
00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:07,382
Bullshit.Your mother and I were at the five.
33
00:02:07,966 --> 00:02:10,052
Look at you, sleeping your life away.
34
00:02:10,761 --> 00:02:12,513
I'll stay awake when I'm dead.
35
00:02:12,596 --> 00:02:15,265
For God sake's, Chickie.Church started already!
36
00:02:15,349 --> 00:02:16,350
Get up!
37
00:03:13,073 --> 00:03:15,659
-What are you doing tonight, Chickie?-What do you think he's doing?
38
00:03:15,742 --> 00:03:17,494
It's the same every night with him.
39
00:03:17,578 --> 00:03:21,290
He's off on a toot. He sleeps all day.He's "Good Time Chickie." Must be fun.
40
00:03:21,373 --> 00:03:22,791
Oh, my Go-- Here we go again.
41
00:03:22,875 --> 00:03:25,586
You know, being a merchant marinerain't no pleasure cruise, okay?
42
00:03:25,669 --> 00:03:27,087
-Yeah, yeah.-It's backbreaking work.
43
00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:28,171
Oh, boohoo, Chickie.
44
00:03:28,255 --> 00:03:30,716
So this is my time to kick backand relax a little,
45
00:03:31,216 --> 00:03:33,385
like a professor on summer break.
46
00:03:33,468 --> 00:03:37,556
Oh. Oh, yeah. You're-- You're a professor, and your grandmother's Miss America.
47
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:39,474
Oh, come on. Do we gotta start this again?
48
00:03:39,558 --> 00:03:41,768
You know what? It's my house.He's gonna live by my rules!
49
00:03:41,852 --> 00:03:44,563
He wants to be a drunk and sleep all day.Maybe he should get his own place!
50
00:03:44,646 --> 00:03:45,939
Fine. I'll move out.
51
00:03:46,023 --> 00:03:47,482
--That's a waste of money, Chickie.
52
00:03:47,566 --> 00:03:49,526
You're out to sea more than half the year.
53
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:51,737
Catherine, you gotta stop babying the boy.
54
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:54,448
When I was your age, I had two jobs.I had three kids. I had a wife.
55
00:03:54,531 --> 00:03:56,533
Mmm. So it's my faultyou knocked up Ma in high school?
56
00:03:56,617 --> 00:03:58,493
-Hey! -Chickie!
57
00:03:58,577 --> 00:04:00,787
We got pregnant after we were married! We got pregnant after we were married!
58
00:04:00,871 --> 00:04:02,497
Oh, come on, Ma.
59
00:04:02,581 --> 00:04:06,585
You got married in January.Gerard was born in June. It don't add up.
60
00:04:07,169 --> 00:04:09,129
-It was a leap year.-A what?
61
00:04:09,630 --> 00:04:10,714
What does that mean?
62
00:04:11,465 --> 00:04:13,258
Gerard came early. That's how it adds up.
63
00:04:13,342 --> 00:04:15,844
-Very common in first deliveries.-Hmm.
64
00:04:15,928 --> 00:04:17,471
Johnny Knopf's dead.
65
00:04:21,016 --> 00:04:24,311
-No.-I just ran into Judy Byrne.
66
00:04:24,394 --> 00:04:26,730
She's best friendswith his sister, Mo.
67
00:04:34,488 --> 00:04:36,073
But he… …he just got there.
68
00:04:37,824 --> 00:04:42,538
Well, you know, the family can be proud.He died a hero, that boy.
69
00:04:42,621 --> 00:04:44,373
How do you know?
70
00:04:47,042 --> 00:04:48,252
How do I know?
71
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:51,046
Because he died for his country.That's how I know.
72
00:04:51,129 --> 00:04:52,798
For his country to do what?
73
00:04:53,298 --> 00:04:55,384
Hey, Christine. This ain't the time.
74
00:04:55,467 --> 00:04:57,761
Well, when's gonna be the time?
75
00:04:57,845 --> 00:04:59,596
We don't even know whywe're fightin' over there.
76
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,515
Oh, for Chrissakes.Has it ever occurred to you Oh, for Chrissakes.Has it ever occurred to you
77
00:05:01,598 --> 00:05:03,183
our country knows very wellwhat they're doing,
78
00:05:03,267 --> 00:05:04,476
they just haven't told you yet?
79
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,563
LBJ's lying to us!He won't even admit it's a war!
80
00:05:07,646 --> 00:05:10,607
-Oh, yeah. Everybody's lying, Christine.-They are lying!
81
00:05:10,691 --> 00:05:12,025
Christine, that's enough.
82
00:05:12,109 --> 00:05:14,236
Yeah, Ma, it is enough.
83
00:05:14,736 --> 00:05:17,364
Eight kids from this neighborhoodare dead already.
84
00:05:17,447 --> 00:05:19,825
How many's it gonna takebefore you all wake up?
85
00:05:51,398 --> 00:05:53,150
The young mother's daughter was shot
86
00:05:53,233 --> 00:05:55,569
while quietly riding a bicyclewith her father.
87
00:05:55,652 --> 00:05:58,864
On a public lane, in a little village.
88
00:05:58,947 --> 00:06:01,200
In the warm sun on a beautiful day. In the warm sun on a beautiful day.
89
00:06:01,283 --> 00:06:04,119
--She will be dead in an hour…
90
00:06:05,037 --> 00:06:06,997
Knopf wasn't even supposed to be there.
91
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,001
He and his old man signed a waiverso he could enlist at 17.
92
00:06:11,084 --> 00:06:13,212
Jesus. What the hell was his rush?
93
00:06:13,712 --> 00:06:17,549
His rush washe was doing his patriotic duty.
94
00:06:18,217 --> 00:06:19,801
You make a very good point.
95
00:06:22,763 --> 00:06:26,225
This is bullshit.They should not be showing this on TV.
96
00:06:26,308 --> 00:06:28,393
This would not fly back in my day.
97
00:06:29,061 --> 00:06:30,854
There was no TV back in your day.
98
00:06:31,438 --> 00:06:33,273
Yeah. And we were better for it.
99
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:39,530
War is not a TV show. It's too real-life.
100
00:06:39,613 --> 00:06:42,241
And the American peoplecan't handle real life?
101
00:06:42,324 --> 00:06:45,619
No, they can't.And they shouldn't have to.
102
00:06:46,286 --> 00:06:49,206
Bringing dead soldiers, guys with no arms and legs,
103
00:06:49,289 --> 00:06:50,415
into our living rooms
104
00:06:50,499 --> 00:06:52,167
is not helping no one.
105
00:06:52,251 --> 00:06:57,297
If they had showedthe Battle of the Bulge on TV,
106
00:06:57,381 --> 00:06:58,924
we'd have quit after three days.
107
00:07:00,008 --> 00:07:05,180
We didn't. We took our licks, but we pushed 'em back, and we won.
108
00:07:05,722 --> 00:07:08,642
It was a different time.It was a different war, Colonel.
109
00:07:10,143 --> 00:07:15,399
What are you selling, Noodle?You saying you're on their side?
110
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:18,819
I'll throw you right the hell outta here.
111
00:07:18,902 --> 00:07:21,321
Jesus, Colonel.You got a short fuse today, huh?
112
00:07:21,905 --> 00:07:25,701
I ain't got a short fuse.You just don't know when you lit it.
113
00:07:40,424 --> 00:07:41,592
God, I hate these things.
114
00:07:42,259 --> 00:07:44,761
Why can't they just have a funeraland get it over with?
115
00:07:44,845 --> 00:07:47,514
This just drags it outand makes it worse for everyone.
116
00:07:47,598 --> 00:07:48,974
-Asshole.-Ow.
117
00:07:49,057 --> 00:07:51,518
The wake is for the family.It's not about you.
118
00:07:51,602 --> 00:07:54,730
It gives 'em time to grieve and shitbefore they put him in the dirt.
119
00:07:54,813 --> 00:07:57,983
You hit it on the head.We need wakes. They're important.
120
00:07:58,901 --> 00:08:00,819
It's very good for everyone to grieve. It's very good for everyone to grieve.
121
00:08:01,653 --> 00:08:04,865
Jesus, Danny. Don't you everhave an opinion that you stick to?
122
00:08:05,532 --> 00:08:07,784
-You just blow with the wind, don't you?-No.
123
00:08:07,868 --> 00:08:10,454
I just try to be open-mindedto everybody's point of view.
124
00:08:10,537 --> 00:08:12,414
-Oh.-Like the way dogs are.
125
00:08:12,956 --> 00:08:14,333
"Like the way dogs are"?
126
00:08:15,167 --> 00:08:18,045
-What's he saying?-Oh, I'm just saying dogs don't judge.
127
00:08:20,547 --> 00:08:22,633
The Minogues got a telegram this morning.
128
00:08:23,842 --> 00:08:24,927
Tommy's MIA.
129
00:08:30,682 --> 00:08:31,683
Come on.
130
00:09:07,219 --> 00:09:08,595
Goddamn it.
131
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,557
The ball's dropping in ten minutes.We're gonna miss it, Chick.
132
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,476
Don't worry about it, Tommy.It'll drop again next year!
133
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:16,019
Yeah, but I've never seen it.
134
00:09:16,103 --> 00:09:18,146
-You've never seen the ball drop?-Only on TV.
135
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:20,190
--Bullshit.
136
00:09:20,274 --> 00:09:23,735
I swear. I've never seen it live, Chick.Just once I wanna be there live.
137
00:09:24,403 --> 00:09:25,821
All right, come on. Let's go!
138
00:09:42,713 --> 00:09:44,965
Goddamn it.
139
00:09:46,717 --> 00:09:49,511
Poor Minogue. He was the best.
140
00:09:50,012 --> 00:09:53,390
Don't say "was." MIA doesn't mean dead.
141
00:09:53,473 --> 00:09:56,059
If anyone can survive out there, it's Tommy.
142
00:09:56,643 --> 00:09:59,146
He and his brothers, they got those street smarts, you know?
143
00:10:00,606 --> 00:10:01,940
Look at these scumbags.
144
00:10:02,024 --> 00:10:05,527
Hey, hey, LBJ!How many kids did you kill today?
145
00:10:05,611 --> 00:10:07,112
Hey, whoa. What are you doing?
146
00:10:13,952 --> 00:10:15,871
Go home! Go home, you commie bastards.
147
00:10:24,213 --> 00:10:26,965
Hey, man! Stop, man! What are you doing?
148
00:10:27,049 --> 00:10:30,344
Those candles represent soldierswho were killed in Vietnam!
149
00:10:31,261 --> 00:10:35,182
Oh. Sorry.I thought they were peace candles.
150
00:10:35,265 --> 00:10:36,600
What, you got a problem with peace?
151
00:10:37,351 --> 00:10:38,852
I got a problem with you, mouth!
152
00:10:38,936 --> 00:10:40,687
These demonstrationsare hurting our troops!
153
00:10:40,771 --> 00:10:43,148
Yeah, why don't you just keep marchingright up to Canada
154
00:10:43,232 --> 00:10:44,483
and lock the key behind you?
155
00:10:45,609 --> 00:10:47,486
Come on, Chickie. Let's get outta here.
156
00:10:50,197 --> 00:10:51,323
What the hell?
157
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:53,742
How many kids did you kill today?
158
00:10:53,825 --> 00:10:57,037
Hey, hey, LBJ!How many kids did you kill today?
159
00:10:59,206 --> 00:11:00,541
-Hey! Let's go.--Hey! Let's go.-
160
00:11:00,624 --> 00:11:01,625
…go of me!
161
00:11:02,501 --> 00:11:04,795
What the hell are you doing? Go home now!
162
00:11:04,878 --> 00:11:07,381
You're embarrassing yourself, and you're embarrassing your family!
163
00:11:07,464 --> 00:11:10,634
Trying to save more Inwood kids from dyingis embarrassing myself?
164
00:11:10,717 --> 00:11:13,887
That's right.Because this-- this ain't helping nobody.
165
00:11:13,971 --> 00:11:15,806
At least I'm trying to get 'em home alive.
166
00:11:15,889 --> 00:11:17,975
Everyone's doing something, and you're doing nothing.
167
00:11:18,058 --> 00:11:18,892
Doing nothing?
168
00:11:18,976 --> 00:11:21,728
I served four years in uniform, starting when I was 18 years old.
169
00:11:21,812 --> 00:11:24,606
You were playing pokerin a military base in Massachusetts.
170
00:11:24,690 --> 00:11:26,900
You weren't dodging bullets, you were dodging bar tabs.
171
00:11:26,984 --> 00:11:28,569
So quit acting like you've been there!
172
00:11:28,652 --> 00:11:30,696
Oh, come on. You know what? Screw you!
173
00:11:30,779 --> 00:11:31,780
Now, let's go.
174
00:11:31,864 --> 00:11:33,740
Oh, I'm not going anywhere with you!
175
00:11:33,824 --> 00:11:36,743
I'm gonna be here every dayuntil this war's over,
176
00:11:36,827 --> 00:11:38,287
because this war is immoral!
177
00:11:38,370 --> 00:11:40,330
Don't tell us about immoral, all right?
178
00:11:40,414 --> 00:11:43,584
We're burying Johnny Knopf tomorrow, and Tommy Minogue's MIA,
179
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:45,460
and you're out heremarching with the enemy?
180
00:11:46,295 --> 00:11:49,131
-Tommy?-Let's just go home, please?
181
00:11:49,214 --> 00:11:51,341
Don't tarnish Johnny's memory like this.
182
00:11:51,925 --> 00:11:53,510
"Tarnish his memory"?
183
00:11:54,011 --> 00:11:58,098
I'm doing this to honor his memory, you dumb shit!
184
00:11:58,182 --> 00:12:00,726
I don't wanna see no more kids diefor nothing! I don't wanna see no more kids diefor nothing!
185
00:12:00,809 --> 00:12:04,605
For nothing?They died to save us from communism!
186
00:12:04,688 --> 00:12:08,609
This war isn't about stopping communism, it's about spreading imperialism!
187
00:12:08,692 --> 00:12:10,527
Hey, cool-breeze. Shut the fuck up!
188
00:12:10,611 --> 00:12:13,530
-You shut up!-Yeah. Don't push us into your war.
189
00:12:13,614 --> 00:12:15,657
-Fascist pig!-You're the problem, man!
190
00:12:16,241 --> 00:12:17,784
What the f-- My war?
191
00:12:18,368 --> 00:12:20,704
I'm just here looking out for my friends, who, by the way,
192
00:12:20,787 --> 00:12:22,789
-are over there fighting for you!-Exactly!
193
00:12:22,873 --> 00:12:24,833
We don't need your friends killing for us, man!
194
00:12:24,917 --> 00:12:27,085
You know what, baby killer?You and me, let's go!
195
00:12:27,169 --> 00:12:29,546
I don't wanna fight, man.This march is about peace.
196
00:12:29,630 --> 00:12:31,840
Oh, to hell with your peace!Come on. You and me, let's go!
197
00:12:31,924 --> 00:12:33,383
-I'm not gonna fight you.-Stop it.
198
00:12:33,467 --> 00:12:35,636
You don't have a choice!I'm gonna hit you in about three seconds.
199
00:12:35,719 --> 00:12:36,929
But I'll give you the first crack.
200
00:12:37,513 --> 00:12:39,264
Go ahead, give it your best shot.
201
00:12:39,848 --> 00:12:41,183
What are you doing?
202
00:12:42,226 --> 00:12:44,019
Don't you do it, Chickie, don't!
203
00:12:44,102 --> 00:12:46,605
-You asshole!-Stop! Stop it!
204
00:12:49,066 --> 00:12:51,818
Hey! Ba-- Back off! Back off!
205
00:12:52,402 --> 00:12:54,071
Stay there! Hey! Back off!
206
00:12:54,154 --> 00:12:55,239
Hey, Christine!
207
00:12:57,282 --> 00:12:58,534
Christine!
208
00:13:00,786 --> 00:13:02,287
Take a shower!
209
00:13:02,955 --> 00:13:06,500
Those pussies had us outnumbered 10-to-2,and we still kicked their asses!
210
00:13:07,501 --> 00:13:09,503
So how'd your cheek get all swelled up?
211
00:13:10,546 --> 00:13:13,799
Sucker-punch. Some hippie.That's what started it.
212
00:13:13,882 --> 00:13:20,430
Do these dumbass protesters not knowthat our soldiers see that bullshit on TV
213
00:13:21,014 --> 00:13:23,183
and that it's broadcastall over the world?
214
00:13:23,267 --> 00:13:26,353
And this is exactly what the enemy wants.
215
00:13:27,521 --> 00:13:29,982
To see us divided. Fighting.
216
00:13:30,065 --> 00:13:31,817
If Americans can't agree,
217
00:13:31,900 --> 00:13:35,153
it makes it look like they're right, and we're wrong.
218
00:13:36,113 --> 00:13:37,322
I just wish our guys could see
219
00:13:37,406 --> 00:13:39,700
that the vast minorityof the country's behind them.
220
00:13:39,783 --> 00:13:42,703
-You-- You mean vast majority?-Well, no. I wouldn't go that far.
221
00:13:42,786 --> 00:13:44,746
I think most people are behind them, yeah, sure.
222
00:13:44,830 --> 00:13:45,914
But not everyone.
223
00:13:46,707 --> 00:13:49,751
You know what I'd like to do?I'd like to go over to Vietnam
224
00:13:49,835 --> 00:13:55,090
and track down Reynolds, Collins, Pappas, Duggan, Minogue.
225
00:13:55,757 --> 00:13:57,259
You know, all the boys in the neighborhood.
226
00:13:57,342 --> 00:14:01,763
And just give them a beer, you know?To say thank you. And just give them a beer, you know?To say thank you.
227
00:14:02,556 --> 00:14:03,682
To the boys!
228
00:14:03,765 --> 00:14:05,475
-To the boys!-The boys!
229
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,977
I could do that.
230
00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:08,020
Do what?
231
00:14:08,604 --> 00:14:09,855
Bring 'em beer.
232
00:14:11,356 --> 00:14:15,444
I could sign up for a ship headed to 'Nam.Drop off a few brews.
233
00:14:15,527 --> 00:14:18,030
Are there even boats going over therewith the wars going on?
234
00:14:18,113 --> 00:14:20,616
Hell yeah.Who do you think's bringing 'em supplies?
235
00:14:20,699 --> 00:14:21,783
Are you serious, Chick?
236
00:14:21,867 --> 00:14:24,161
You can just hop on a merchant marine shipand drive over there?
237
00:14:24,244 --> 00:14:26,872
Of course he's not serious.He's hammered. Look at him.
238
00:14:26,955 --> 00:14:30,459
The man's stone sober.That's his fifth beer, maybe, tops.
239
00:14:31,168 --> 00:14:34,046
Don't bullshit us, Chick.Could you really pull this off?
240
00:14:34,630 --> 00:14:37,508
Could, would, and will. That's a promise.
241
00:14:38,050 --> 00:14:42,638
I'm gonna show 'em that this neighborhoodand this country is still behind 'em.
242
00:14:43,138 --> 00:14:46,558
--What Chickie's saying is important.
243
00:14:46,642 --> 00:14:47,643
It's very important.
244
00:14:47,726 --> 00:14:49,645
It'll prop our boys up.
245
00:14:49,728 --> 00:14:52,064
Maybe a good ol' American beerwill remind them
246
00:14:52,147 --> 00:14:53,315
what they're fightin' for.
247
00:14:53,899 --> 00:14:55,317
Thank God someone knows.
248
00:14:56,652 --> 00:14:59,321
You bring it to 'em in this.That way they know it's from all of us.
249
00:14:59,404 --> 00:15:00,864
We're bringing the boys beer. We're bringing the boys beer.
250
00:15:02,449 --> 00:15:05,869
Hey, Chickie? Chickie, don't do this.Tell 'em you're full of shit.
251
00:15:05,953 --> 00:15:07,955
-It's always harder afterwards.-Okay.
252
00:15:08,038 --> 00:15:12,042
Get me a list of all the guysand the units that they're in, okay?
253
00:15:12,584 --> 00:15:15,295
Because I'm going to Vietnam, and I'm bringing them beer!
254
00:15:15,379 --> 00:15:18,173
-Yeah!-Yeah! Let's go!
255
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:21,802
God bless you, Chickie.
256
00:15:21,885 --> 00:15:24,888
Those brave bastards over there, fighting and dying for this country.
257
00:15:24,972 --> 00:15:27,808
We're sitting on our asses doing nothing.Except for you.
258
00:15:27,891 --> 00:15:30,227
Yeah. Well, I ain't done nothing yet.
259
00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:32,145
The hard part's gonna be finding a ship.
260
00:15:32,229 --> 00:15:34,898
Then, once I get over there, how am I even gonna track 'em down?
261
00:15:34,982 --> 00:15:37,442
Shouldn't be that difficult.Small country, right?
262
00:15:37,526 --> 00:15:40,362
Shitload of trees, though.It's like an African jungle over there.
263
00:15:40,863 --> 00:15:43,866
Hey, McFadden just got back from 'Nam.I bet he's got a map.
264
00:15:43,949 --> 00:15:45,784
He could show youwhere they're all stationed.
265
00:15:45,868 --> 00:15:48,161
Right, but like I said, getting there's the real problem.
266
00:15:48,245 --> 00:15:51,039
Even if I do find a ship, what if they're fully staffed up? They--
267
00:15:51,123 --> 00:15:54,376
Chickie! When you're in Vietnam, you're gonna visit my son, right?
268
00:15:54,459 --> 00:15:57,629
-Well---127th MP Company.
269
00:15:57,713 --> 00:15:59,715
See, it's right there on the patchon his shoulder.
270
00:15:59,798 --> 00:16:01,592
He'll be so excitedto see a friendly face. He'll be so excitedto see a friendly face.
271
00:16:01,675 --> 00:16:03,927
Yeah, there's still a few kinksto iron out, Mrs. Collins.
272
00:16:04,011 --> 00:16:06,513
Like, I don't even knowif it's possible for me to get over there.
273
00:16:06,597 --> 00:16:09,099
And when you see him, please give him a hug for me.
274
00:16:11,768 --> 00:16:15,522
Jesus, those guys are putting the horseway in front of the cart.
275
00:16:15,606 --> 00:16:16,690
What do you mean?
276
00:16:16,773 --> 00:16:19,902
I never said I was going to Vietnam, I said I was gonna try to go.
277
00:16:19,985 --> 00:16:22,446
No, I'm pretty sure you said you was goingand that you was bringing beer.
278
00:16:22,529 --> 00:16:24,114
Yeah. If there was a boat.
279
00:16:24,198 --> 00:16:25,908
Yeah, I don't remember that part.
280
00:16:25,991 --> 00:16:27,910
Shit, Noodle. Read between the lines!
281
00:16:27,993 --> 00:16:30,120
How the hell can I controlif there's a boat or not?
282
00:16:30,204 --> 00:16:32,039
-Okay.-No, it's not okay.
283
00:16:32,122 --> 00:16:34,291
'Cause now I'm gonna look like an assholeif I don't go.
284
00:16:34,374 --> 00:16:36,668
-To who?-To those guys.
285
00:16:36,752 --> 00:16:38,962
Don't worry about those guys.They don't really think you're going.
286
00:16:39,046 --> 00:16:40,672
They're just busting your balls.
287
00:16:40,756 --> 00:16:43,509
What? They don't think I'm going?
288
00:16:44,551 --> 00:16:45,928
Well, you're not going, right?
289
00:16:46,512 --> 00:16:49,348
That's beside the point.Why do they think I'm not going?
290
00:16:50,140 --> 00:16:52,184
Well, no offense, but, come on, Chick.
291
00:16:52,267 --> 00:16:53,727
There's a lot of thingsyou say you're gonna do
292
00:16:53,810 --> 00:16:56,647
that you don't get around to doing'cause, you know, you get busy.
293
00:16:56,730 --> 00:16:59,441
What things I ever sayI was gonna do I didn't do, huh?
294
00:17:02,528 --> 00:17:04,153
Seriously. Name one thing.
295
00:17:04,238 --> 00:17:05,572
You never became a cop.
296
00:17:05,656 --> 00:17:08,242
And you never played shortstopfor the Yankees.
297
00:17:08,324 --> 00:17:10,118
-What?-It was fifth grade.
298
00:17:10,201 --> 00:17:11,536
I said I was gonna be a cop.
299
00:17:11,620 --> 00:17:13,956
What, you're not allowedto change your mind after fifth grade?
300
00:17:14,039 --> 00:17:15,040
That doesn't count.
301
00:17:15,122 --> 00:17:16,499
Well, you never graduated high school.
302
00:17:16,583 --> 00:17:17,959
When did I say I would?
303
00:17:18,544 --> 00:17:20,212
You never sold peanutsat the Polo Grounds.
304
00:17:20,295 --> 00:17:21,880
Because the day I was gonna start,
305
00:17:21,964 --> 00:17:25,300
Patty Benedetto gave me a way better jobloading rigs at Empire Trucking.
306
00:17:25,383 --> 00:17:27,302
Yeah, but then you quit that job one day after.
307
00:17:27,386 --> 00:17:29,763
So it's my fault the boss was an asshole?
308
00:17:29,847 --> 00:17:33,809
Well-- Look, Chickie, all we're saying is, you don't have to go to Vietnam.
309
00:17:33,892 --> 00:17:35,644
It's not like people really expect you to.
310
00:17:36,228 --> 00:17:37,229
Let's go.
311
00:17:43,652 --> 00:17:45,279
So when were you gonna tell us?
312
00:17:46,321 --> 00:17:48,532
You know, that you're bringing beerto your friends in Vietnam.
313
00:17:48,615 --> 00:17:51,660
Richie Reynolds's girlfriend, Jeanie, dropped these socks off.
314
00:17:51,743 --> 00:17:54,079
She already mailed him a few pairs, but he never got them.
315
00:17:54,162 --> 00:17:56,456
So she wants you to hand deliver 'em.
316
00:17:56,540 --> 00:17:58,792
And Mr. Collins dropped off 33 bucksfor Tommy,
317
00:17:58,876 --> 00:18:02,379
so he could pay back his poker lossesand he wants you to tell him to stop. so he could pay back his poker lossesand he wants you to tell him to stop.
318
00:18:02,462 --> 00:18:05,591
So, I'm just curious, how many pops in were you
319
00:18:05,674 --> 00:18:07,843
when you came upwith this brilliant notion?
320
00:18:08,719 --> 00:18:11,054
So Christine, you saying I'd have to be drunk
321
00:18:11,138 --> 00:18:12,931
to wanna support my friends in Vietnam?
322
00:18:13,015 --> 00:18:15,142
How would bringing beerbe supporting them?
323
00:18:16,226 --> 00:18:19,313
It's about friendship and loyalty, something you know nothing about.
324
00:18:19,396 --> 00:18:22,107
If you really want to support them, help us get 'em the hell out of there.
325
00:18:22,191 --> 00:18:24,401
Oh, my God. You're like a broken record.
326
00:18:24,484 --> 00:18:26,653
You know, I can't--The thing I can't figure out
327
00:18:26,737 --> 00:18:29,281
is how he's gonna get all the Clydesdaleson the boat.
328
00:18:29,364 --> 00:18:31,950
--You three, don't laugh at him.
329
00:18:32,034 --> 00:18:34,369
You'll talk him into this foolishnessand get him killed.
330
00:18:34,453 --> 00:18:35,996
Stop it, Catherine.
331
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:39,249
No one's ever gotten killed sleepingtill 3:00 in the afternoon.
332
00:18:39,333 --> 00:18:40,375
Chickie's fine.
333
00:18:51,053 --> 00:18:53,680
Mrs. Minogue. I-I-- Uh--
334
00:18:53,764 --> 00:18:56,517
Chickie, I-- I hear you're going overto visit the boys.
335
00:18:57,601 --> 00:19:00,020
I want you to bring this to Tommywhen you see him. I want you to bring this to Tommywhen you see him.
336
00:19:02,147 --> 00:19:04,358
-Yeah, come on in. Just, come on in.-No. No, no, no.
337
00:19:04,441 --> 00:19:05,734
I want to drop these off.
338
00:19:07,903 --> 00:19:12,115
They can't find Tommy right now…but I'm sure they will.
339
00:19:12,783 --> 00:19:15,118
No, please, Mrs. Minogue, you hold onto those, all right?
340
00:19:15,202 --> 00:19:16,203
If I end up going,
341
00:19:16,286 --> 00:19:18,705
then I'll come and pick 'em up from you, okay? I promise.
342
00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:21,083
No. You see, Tommy said that he brought some,
343
00:19:21,166 --> 00:19:22,626
but I bet he didn't.
344
00:19:23,961 --> 00:19:27,297
Anyway, having two sets can't hurt, right?
345
00:19:29,758 --> 00:19:30,968
No, I guess not.
346
00:19:33,220 --> 00:19:34,388
Thank you, Chickie.
347
00:19:53,907 --> 00:19:54,992
Hey, chief.
348
00:19:55,075 --> 00:19:58,453
Uh, no chance you have a ship headingto Vietnam any time soon, right?
349
00:19:59,621 --> 00:20:02,082
That cargo ship, Drake, getting ready to push off. That cargo ship, Drake, getting ready to push off.
350
00:20:02,958 --> 00:20:05,335
No shit. What time?
351
00:20:05,836 --> 00:20:07,212
1700 hours.
352
00:20:08,755 --> 00:20:09,756
Tonight?
353
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:12,134
-What, in three hours?-Yeah.
354
00:20:12,217 --> 00:20:15,262
Goes out of Jersey, straight to Panama, then straight to 'Nam.
355
00:20:15,345 --> 00:20:17,181
Should be there in two months or so.
356
00:20:17,764 --> 00:20:19,850
But I doubt they need an oilerthis late in the game?
357
00:20:19,933 --> 00:20:21,852
Um, oiler.
358
00:20:22,936 --> 00:20:25,355
Hey, you're in luck.They're still one short.
359
00:20:26,481 --> 00:20:27,482
Oh.
360
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,194
And why are they going out of Jersey?
361
00:20:30,277 --> 00:20:32,362
She's loaded with 10,000 tons of ammo.
362
00:20:32,446 --> 00:20:34,740
Blow up half of Manhattanif something went sideways.
363
00:20:34,823 --> 00:20:36,867
If Jersey goes up, who'd miss it?
364
00:20:38,076 --> 00:20:39,203
You want in?
365
00:20:53,967 --> 00:20:54,968
Chickie!
366
00:20:56,428 --> 00:20:57,930
You can't be serious?
367
00:20:58,013 --> 00:20:59,264
What?
368
00:20:59,348 --> 00:21:01,934
Please don't do this.This is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Please don't do this.This is the dumbest thing I ever heard.
369
00:21:02,768 --> 00:21:04,937
Dumber than carrying around signs, calling our friends baby killers?
370
00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:07,189
Don't give me that shit.I wasn't carrying that sign.
371
00:21:07,272 --> 00:21:09,566
Yeah, but you were marchingwith someone who was.
372
00:21:11,026 --> 00:21:13,028
Just imagine being a soldier,
373
00:21:13,111 --> 00:21:15,113
just got homeand that's the first thing he sees,
374
00:21:15,197 --> 00:21:16,198
is that sign.
375
00:21:18,492 --> 00:21:19,535
Please, Chick.
376
00:21:20,327 --> 00:21:23,038
-You're gonna get yourself killed there.-No, I'm not.
377
00:21:23,121 --> 00:21:26,083
Yes, you are! I-- I don't get it.Why are you doing this?
378
00:21:26,750 --> 00:21:29,836
It's like you said.Everyone's doing something.
379
00:21:31,004 --> 00:21:32,256
I'm doing nothing.
380
00:22:13,714 --> 00:22:16,758
Three days' leave?You got some nuts on you, Donohue.
381
00:22:16,842 --> 00:22:18,468
Nobody gets three days.
382
00:22:18,552 --> 00:22:20,804
What about the engine room?That's gonna run itself?
383
00:22:20,888 --> 00:22:22,848
Sir, I worked double-time the whole way here,
384
00:22:22,931 --> 00:22:24,349
and I got all my shifts covered, sir.
385
00:22:24,433 --> 00:22:26,185
I don't give two shits.
386
00:22:26,268 --> 00:22:28,812
And don't talk to me like we'rein the marines, you butt-licker.
387
00:22:28,896 --> 00:22:31,315
No one's getting off this ship.We're in a goddamn war zone.
388
00:22:31,398 --> 00:22:32,524
But I have to.
389
00:22:32,608 --> 00:22:35,110
Oh, you have to?What's your deal, Donohue?
390
00:22:35,194 --> 00:22:38,363
I need to find my stepbrother.Uh, Ricky Duggan, First Air Cav.
391
00:22:38,447 --> 00:22:40,616
Stepbrother?He's not your goddamn real brother?
392
00:22:40,699 --> 00:22:43,410
No way. You ain't getting three daysfor a half-ass brother.
393
00:22:43,493 --> 00:22:45,370
I got a rust bucket to run here.
394
00:22:45,454 --> 00:22:49,124
But he is my real brother, sir.Uh… …my mom is his mom.
395
00:22:49,208 --> 00:22:52,294
Uh, you know, my-- my dad died fighting in Okinawa.
396
00:22:52,377 --> 00:22:54,838
And, you know, my mom remarriedand Ricky was born,
397
00:22:54,922 --> 00:22:57,508
and we was raised together, just like real brothers.
398
00:22:57,591 --> 00:23:02,095
You know, I just got wordmy-- my stepdad, Ricky's dad, just died. You know, I just got wordmy-- my stepdad, Ricky's dad, just died.
399
00:23:02,679 --> 00:23:04,848
I don't want Ricky to read the newsin a letter
400
00:23:05,349 --> 00:23:07,059
or hear about it on a phone call.
401
00:23:08,060 --> 00:23:10,604
I would like to tell him in person.
402
00:23:11,688 --> 00:23:12,731
How'd he die?
403
00:23:13,649 --> 00:23:14,900
Stroke.
404
00:23:14,983 --> 00:23:15,984
Linger?
405
00:23:16,068 --> 00:23:19,696
Yeah. Like a week or two.It got real ugly at the end there, so…
406
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:21,156
Where's this stepbrother?
407
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,703
Oh, he's, uh--He's up north. The LZ… Jane.
408
00:23:26,787 --> 00:23:27,788
Christ.
409
00:23:28,580 --> 00:23:31,708
Shit's hit the fan up there.You could be walking into a bloodbath.
410
00:23:31,792 --> 00:23:32,834
You know that, right?
411
00:23:33,752 --> 00:23:36,171
Well, he-- he's my brother.
412
00:23:37,506 --> 00:23:39,383
You get all the info on the stepbrotherand all that,
413
00:23:39,466 --> 00:23:42,177
in case Donohue gets his balls blown offstepping on a land mine?
414
00:23:42,261 --> 00:23:43,428
Yeah, all right here.
415
00:23:44,179 --> 00:23:46,431
Okay. You got three days.
416
00:23:48,267 --> 00:23:52,020
It's 8:05. If you're not back herein 72 hours and one second,
417
00:23:52,104 --> 00:23:53,105

00:23:53,188 --> 00:23:55,649
Yes, sir. You have my word, sir!

00:24:38,525 --> 00:24:42,362
Hey, you guys ain't with the 127th MP Company?

Yeah, and what about it?
421
00:24:44,198 --> 00:24:46,867
You don't happen to know a guynamed Tommy Collins from New York?
422
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:48,535
Yeah, we know Collins.
423
00:24:48,619 --> 00:24:50,412
-No shit?-Yeah.

00:25:12,851 --> 00:25:14,394
I'm serious. This-- Here.

00:25:17,439 --> 00:25:20,817
In fact, you know what?I got a couple for you too.

442
00:26:10,367 --> 00:26:11,994
Oh, you know, I was just in the neighborhood.

00:26:12,077 --> 00:26:13,412

Got some pretty screwy friends, Collins.
447
00:26:18,333 --> 00:26:20,335
Oh, without a doubt. Guess what?
448
00:26:21,461 --> 00:26:24,548
This screwy friendjust came 10,000 nautical miles
449
00:26:24,631 --> 00:26:27,259

00:26:32,556 --> 00:26:34,683
always ring the doorbell with your elbow.
452
00:26:34,766 --> 00:26:36,894
And that, my friends, is called the Irish hello.
453
00:26:36,977 --> 00:26:38,520
-Here. Take that.-Hello, Ireland.
454
00:26:38,604 --> 00:26:39,605
Hello.
455
00:26:40,647 --> 00:26:41,815
-Take it.-Mm-hmm.
456
00:26:42,733 --> 00:26:45,986
I still can't believe you cameall this way just to bring me a beer.
457
00:26:46,069 --> 00:26:47,070
Not just you.
458
00:26:48,113 --> 00:26:50,949
I came for Duggan, Reynolds, Pappas.All the guys.
459
00:26:51,617 --> 00:26:53,952
-That's the dumbest thing I ever heard of.-Really?
460
00:26:54,036 --> 00:26:56,538
Is it dumber than the time you took a pulloff your nephew's baby bottle,
461
00:26:56,622 --> 00:26:58,457
'cause you wanted to knowwhat titty milk tastes like?
462
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:00,834
--Whoa, that was your sister's titty milk? --Whoa, that was your sister's titty milk?
463
00:27:00,918 --> 00:27:03,128
No, it was my brother's wife's.I'm not an asshole.
464
00:27:03,212 --> 00:27:04,671
Oh, hey, hey. Wait, wait.
465
00:27:04,755 --> 00:27:08,217

00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:09,718
-Thank you.-Almeida, what the hell--
467
00:27:09,801 --> 00:27:11,053
Uh-uh. Now we're even, buddy.
468
00:27:12,054 --> 00:27:13,388
What the hell's going on here?
469
00:27:13,472 --> 00:27:14,556
Attention!
470
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,560
-Where'd those beers come from?-
471
00:27:19,436 --> 00:27:20,562
Who the hell are you?
472
00:27:22,064 --> 00:27:23,148
I'm Chickie Donohue.
473
00:27:23,815 --> 00:27:25,526
And what the hell are you doing here?

00:27:25,609 --> 00:27:26,777
Just got off a ship, sir.
475
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:28,529
Am I talking to you, Collins?
476
00:27:32,074 --> 00:27:33,325
What's your business?
477
00:27:34,868 --> 00:27:36,578
Uh, just traveling around.
478
00:27:37,538 --> 00:27:38,705
Be more specific.
479
00:27:39,373 --> 00:27:43,710
Okay. Uh, more specific--I'm traveling around Viet-- In Vietnam,
480
00:27:43,794 --> 00:27:45,462
and I'm… …bringing beers
481
00:27:45,546 --> 00:27:48,757
to as many of my friendsfrom my neighborhood as I can.
482
00:27:49,633 --> 00:27:51,718
You're traveling in country? Alone?
483
00:27:53,595 --> 00:27:54,972
Yeah. That's right.
484
00:28:00,936 --> 00:28:03,564
Understood.
485
00:28:05,315 --> 00:28:06,441
As you were.
486
00:28:09,903 --> 00:28:11,196
As you were.
487
00:28:13,282 --> 00:28:16,410
-Ah, h-he seems like an okay guy.-He's not.
488
00:28:16,493 --> 00:28:18,036
Did he just have a stroke?
489
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:19,621
Nah, nah, nah. Don't you get it?
490
00:28:19,705 --> 00:28:21,832
He thinksyour man Don Ho here is a "tourist."
491
00:28:21,915 --> 00:28:23,166
Mmm.
492
00:28:23,250 --> 00:28:24,877
What do you mean? I am a tourist.
493
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,088
-Tourist is what we call CIA.-CIA? Get the hell outta here.
494
00:28:28,171 --> 00:28:30,174
Man, who else but CIAwould be headed up-country,
495
00:28:30,257 --> 00:28:31,675
dressed like they're going on a golf trip?
496
00:28:31,758 --> 00:28:33,468
No, Erickson's right.
497
00:28:34,052 --> 00:28:36,555
The military brass does not liketo mix it up with CIA.
498
00:28:36,638 --> 00:28:38,557
Yeah, that's the quickest wayto get your ass reassigned
499
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,641
to combat patrol.
500
00:28:40,976 --> 00:28:45,355
You're kidding me. He thinks I'm CIA?Like James Bond?
501
00:28:47,733 --> 00:28:50,444
Well, in that case…
502
00:28:58,118 --> 00:28:59,745
Yeah, come on!
503
00:29:14,343 --> 00:29:16,303
-Reynolds is over there.-Yeah.
504
00:29:16,386 --> 00:29:20,390
Duggan's up here somewhere and Pappas is--
505
00:29:20,474 --> 00:29:22,518
He's right around the ammo dump, right here.
506
00:29:23,018 --> 00:29:26,688
So… I mean, what's my plan of attack, I guess?
507
00:29:26,772 --> 00:29:28,023
How much time you got?
508
00:29:30,150 --> 00:29:31,652
Forty-seven hours.
509
00:29:31,735 --> 00:29:33,153
Oof. It's gonna be tight.
510
00:29:34,488 --> 00:29:39,868
What if he starts up here with Dugganand then hustles down to, uh…
511
00:29:39,952 --> 00:29:41,703
-Reynolds. Yeah.-…Reynolds.
512
00:29:41,787 --> 00:29:44,748
And then… …back down to Pappas?
513
00:29:45,666 --> 00:29:48,585
Why? I don't understand.How come I just can't go see Pappas first?
514
00:29:48,669 --> 00:29:50,254
'Cause I can practically see his basefrom here.
515
00:29:50,337 --> 00:29:51,630
Nah, Baby-Face is right.
516
00:29:51,713 --> 00:29:54,007
Pappas might be the closest, but he is furthest in time.
517
00:29:54,091 --> 00:29:56,301
Long Binh's the biggest ammo dumpin this country.
518
00:29:56,385 --> 00:29:57,636
They'll be doing background checks.
519
00:29:57,719 --> 00:30:00,305
Ask about your high school girlfriend, count your hemorrhoids-- Ask about your high school girlfriend, count your hemorrhoids--
520
00:30:00,389 --> 00:30:02,683
Christ, it would take Westmorelandhalf a day to get in there.
521
00:30:03,267 --> 00:30:05,269
-Go see Duggan and then the other guy…-Reynolds.
522
00:30:05,352 --> 00:30:08,397
…and if you're still aliveand you have time,
523
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,524
then you can hit Pappas on the way back.
524
00:30:10,607 --> 00:30:12,109
That's right. How you getting there?
525
00:30:13,068 --> 00:30:14,903
I don't know. I figured I'd hitchhike.
526
00:30:15,571 --> 00:30:18,740
What? You-- You don't have a plan?
527
00:30:18,824 --> 00:30:20,033
Are you kidding me?
528
00:30:20,701 --> 00:30:21,869
How would I have a plan?
529
00:30:21,952 --> 00:30:24,663
It's not like you can hire a tour busout here. Can you?
530
00:30:24,746 --> 00:30:26,915
-Oh, Jesus Christ.-I don't know.
531
00:30:27,416 --> 00:30:31,253
-W-- -What if he caught a plane to LZ Jane?
532
00:30:31,336 --> 00:30:32,337
Go airplane?
533
00:30:32,421 --> 00:30:34,006
How's he gonna do that? He ain't military.
534
00:30:34,631 --> 00:30:37,885
Wait, wait. Why can't I just hitchhike?Isn't there still roads?
535
00:30:37,968 --> 00:30:39,928
I don't know if it's hit the papersback home yet,
536
00:30:40,012 --> 00:30:41,805
but folks are getting their asses shotin these parts.
537
00:30:41,889 --> 00:30:43,223
Are you guys nuts?
538
00:30:46,018 --> 00:30:47,436
Give me that thing.
539
00:30:48,145 --> 00:30:50,606
Stop helping him.What are you trying to do, get him killed?
540
00:30:57,905 --> 00:30:59,781
Chickie, you gotta get the hell out of here.
541
00:31:00,324 --> 00:31:03,619
Yeah, okay. I'll get my shit.I don't want to get you guys in trouble.
542
00:31:03,702 --> 00:31:04,995
No, I mean out of 'Nam.
543
00:31:06,038 --> 00:31:08,916
Yeah, I will. In a few days, as soon as I see the other guys.
544
00:31:08,999 --> 00:31:10,876
You can't be serious about this, Chick.
545
00:31:11,501 --> 00:31:13,503
Come on, man, you did it.You got me hammered in Vietnam,
546
00:31:13,587 --> 00:31:16,381
and I'm sure we're gonna have a lotof laughs about this forever.
547
00:31:16,465 --> 00:31:18,175
Let's quit while we're ahead, huh?
548
00:31:19,635 --> 00:31:21,929
I didn't come all this way just to quitafter one night.
549
00:31:22,596 --> 00:31:25,224
What am I supposed to do? Let yougo out there like a babe in Toyland
550
00:31:25,307 --> 00:31:27,392
and get your brains blown outlike Knopf did?
551
00:31:27,476 --> 00:31:29,978
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.You're worrying way too much.
552
00:31:30,062 --> 00:31:32,940
I'm not gonna be fighting no one, I'm just deliverin' beers.
553
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,109
You don't get it, do you, Chick?This isn't a John Wayne movie, all right?
554
00:31:36,193 --> 00:31:38,278
Where you know who the good guys areand the bad guys are.
555
00:31:38,362 --> 00:31:39,363
This is guerrilla warfare,
556
00:31:39,446 --> 00:31:41,490
and they can come at you from anywhere, at any time.
557
00:31:41,573 --> 00:31:44,076
Bringing beers into a fucking war zone?That's a batshit crazy idea.
558
00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:46,495
I mean, you didn't really thinkyou can pull this off, did you?
559
00:31:46,578 --> 00:31:48,956
But why the hell you thinkI came all the way to 'Nam?
560
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:51,583
I don't know, Chick! You lost a bet, you're runnin' from the cops,
561
00:31:51,667 --> 00:31:54,086
you knocked someone up--I-I can't figure it out!
562
00:31:55,045 --> 00:31:57,798
Chickie, even if you wanted to do this, there's no way for you to get around.
563
00:31:57,881 --> 00:31:59,842
The only non-military peoplewho can travel the country
564
00:31:59,925 --> 00:32:00,926
are the press. are the press.
565
00:32:01,009 --> 00:32:02,719
Well, where are they?I'll go talk to them.
566
00:32:02,803 --> 00:32:04,012
They're at the Hotel Caravelle,
567
00:32:04,096 --> 00:32:05,848
but they're not gonna help you.You're a civilian.
568
00:32:06,473 --> 00:32:09,226
I'm an American civilian.I'm one of them, you know?
569
00:32:09,309 --> 00:32:13,480
No-- No, you're not.You're nothing like them.
570
00:32:13,564 --> 00:32:16,149
I think you're forgettingwho you're talking to, yeah?
571
00:32:16,233 --> 00:32:17,359
It's me, Chickie.
572
00:32:18,110 --> 00:32:21,321
Look, you just guard the ships, okay?I'll handle the press.
573
00:32:47,055 --> 00:32:50,184
Whoa! No, thank you. It's okay.
574
00:32:50,267 --> 00:32:51,435
--Whoa!
575
00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:55,063
Thank you. Thanks.
576
00:32:56,356 --> 00:32:57,357
You American?
577
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,693
Yeah. Yeah.
578
00:33:00,485 --> 00:33:02,070
You from Oklahoma?
579
00:33:02,154 --> 00:33:04,239
No. New York.
580
00:33:05,407 --> 00:33:06,700
Near Oklahoma?
581
00:33:07,743 --> 00:33:10,996
No, not really. Not even close, actually.
582
00:33:11,747 --> 00:33:14,291
Like Oklahoma! Good movie.
583
00:33:14,875 --> 00:33:16,543
Yeah. Good football too.
584
00:33:17,169 --> 00:33:19,213
MacRae, great actor.
585
00:33:20,464 --> 00:33:25,552
Oh. Gordon MacRae. Yeah, yeah.Yeah, he is. He's very good. Very good.
586
00:33:26,428 --> 00:33:30,891
Hey, um, do you knowwhere the Caravelle Hotel is around here?
587
00:33:32,476 --> 00:33:34,811
Two down, on left.
588
00:33:35,854 --> 00:33:37,523
-Safe to walk.-Okay.
589
00:33:40,317 --> 00:33:41,318
Hey, Oklahoma?
590
00:33:43,070 --> 00:33:44,404
Thanks a lot!
591
00:34:19,231 --> 00:34:23,402
Oh. Hello.My name is Hien. How may I help you?
592
00:34:23,485 --> 00:34:24,903
A whiskey soda, please.
593
00:34:24,987 --> 00:34:27,072
Whiskey soda on the way.
594
00:34:45,673 --> 00:34:49,260
Boy, this is one hell of a placeto watch a war from, right?
595
00:34:49,344 --> 00:34:53,599
War, it's far. But managed here in Saigon.
596
00:34:55,809 --> 00:34:59,188
Hey, do you know where I can find anyof the reporter guys around here?
597
00:34:59,980 --> 00:35:03,317
Press? Throw dart, hit press guy. Press? Throw dart, hit press guy.
598
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,986
Right. Hey, thank you.
599
00:35:23,503 --> 00:35:24,880
Hey, how's it going?
600
00:35:28,759 --> 00:35:30,219
I'm American.
601
00:35:30,302 --> 00:35:35,474
And I find an attitude of confidenceand growing optimism.
602
00:35:35,557 --> 00:35:37,309
It prevails all over the country.
603
00:35:37,392 --> 00:35:39,686
This is bullshit. Are you hearing this?
604
00:35:40,437 --> 00:35:44,566
Westmoreland's saying there's a feelingof optimism all over Vietnam
605
00:35:44,650 --> 00:35:47,819
and that the Communists are runningfor the hills.
606
00:35:48,403 --> 00:35:50,948
Finish up your drinks, chaps.Time to go home.
607
00:35:52,032 --> 00:35:54,993
A number of South Vietnamese livingin areas
608
00:35:55,077 --> 00:35:59,665
under government protection tonighthas grown by more than a million
609
00:35:59,748 --> 00:36:01,708
since January of last year. since January of last year.
610
00:36:01,792 --> 00:36:03,752
Turn that lying asshole off.
611
00:36:04,336 --> 00:36:07,422
Whoa. Hey, I don't appreciate that.
612
00:36:07,506 --> 00:36:09,883
That's the President of the United Statesyou're talking about.
613
00:36:09,967 --> 00:36:11,468
He deserves some respect.
614
00:36:14,179 --> 00:36:15,389
Why?
615
00:36:15,472 --> 00:36:16,849
All right, look. Look, I don't care
616
00:36:16,932 --> 00:36:19,476
what you think of him personallyas a person,
617
00:36:20,769 --> 00:36:24,273
but you gotta respect the Officeof the President of the United States.
618
00:36:24,857 --> 00:36:26,191
I mean, look who he is.
619
00:36:26,275 --> 00:36:30,696
You expect us to respect the manwho's telling the American people
620
00:36:30,779 --> 00:36:32,155
we're actually winning the war?
621
00:36:32,823 --> 00:36:37,160
And that we, the media, are keeping it a secret?
622
00:36:38,245 --> 00:36:39,580
If the shoe fits.
623
00:36:40,330 --> 00:36:41,415
Hien.
624
00:36:43,125 --> 00:36:44,585
One more time for Jesus.
625
00:36:46,086 --> 00:36:47,421
So, tell me.
626
00:36:48,672 --> 00:36:51,884
How did you become such an experton the public relations of war?
627
00:36:52,801 --> 00:36:55,387
I'm not an expert, and I never said I was one.
628
00:36:55,929 --> 00:36:57,598
Thanks for the disclaimer.
629
00:36:58,348 --> 00:37:03,729
Hey, mister, people back homeget their news from you guys. Hey, mister, people back homeget their news from you guys.
630
00:37:03,812 --> 00:37:06,982
And look, let's face it, it ain't all been that positive lately.
631
00:37:07,482 --> 00:37:09,026
Why should it be positive?
632
00:37:09,109 --> 00:37:10,444
You don't understand why it's important
633
00:37:10,527 --> 00:37:13,197
that people back home get positive newsabout the war?
634
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,656
No. I don't.
635
00:37:14,740 --> 00:37:18,493
So they don't lose hope.It's going crazy out there, and you--
636
00:37:18,577 --> 00:37:21,038
You're takin' the windout of everyone's sails.
637
00:37:21,121 --> 00:37:23,248
You're riling up protesters, it's--
638
00:37:24,374 --> 00:37:26,084
Look, I'm just saying,
639
00:37:27,085 --> 00:37:29,922
you might wanna support our boysevery once in a while.
640
00:37:30,005 --> 00:37:35,636
Telling the truth about this waris being supportive of our boys.
641
00:37:36,136 --> 00:37:38,597
Well, it sure don't come across that wayon my TV.
642
00:37:39,806 --> 00:37:41,099
How are you supporting them?
643
00:37:43,685 --> 00:37:45,604
I support 'em in-- in, uh…
644
00:37:47,064 --> 00:37:49,942
in, like, many ways, in--in lots of different ways.
645
00:37:50,025 --> 00:37:51,443
Yeah, that's what I figured.
646
00:37:54,238 --> 00:37:55,948
Okay, for one thing, uh,
647
00:37:56,031 --> 00:38:00,077
I just traveled 12,000 nautical milesto bring all my enlisted friends a gift. I just traveled 12,000 nautical milesto bring all my enlisted friends a gift.
648
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,411
What kind of gift?
649
00:38:03,121 --> 00:38:05,123
Beer. Beat that.
650
00:38:05,207 --> 00:38:06,291
Beer?
651
00:38:08,669 --> 00:38:11,004
They can get beer here, you know?
652
00:38:13,006 --> 00:38:15,300
Yeah, but not American beer.
653
00:38:21,014 --> 00:38:25,602
Yeah, but this beer cameall the way from New York. So…
654
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:28,313
Listen, the beer's not the point.
655
00:38:28,397 --> 00:38:31,024
The point is that I'm trying to show them
656
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:33,485
that somebody back homestill gives a shit.
657
00:38:34,903 --> 00:38:36,655
Well, I give him credit.
658
00:38:36,738 --> 00:38:39,491
It may be idiotic, but it's a noble gesture.
659
00:38:40,492 --> 00:38:42,286
Well then, do you think you guys can help me out?
660
00:38:43,370 --> 00:38:48,542
Listen, I need to hop a plane to LZ Jane.
661
00:38:50,836 --> 00:38:55,090
You know what? I think I can swing it.
662
00:38:55,716 --> 00:38:59,261
I could maybe, uh, book you a flightout of Bien Hoa.
663
00:39:00,554 --> 00:39:04,725
What's your preference?You want like a window seat? Aisle?
664
00:39:05,225 --> 00:39:06,268
Oh, I don't care.
665
00:39:06,351 --> 00:39:09,104
Hey, you wanna go first-class?Meal service?
666
00:39:11,940 --> 00:39:13,233
Anything you want, kid.
667
00:39:17,070 --> 00:39:18,071
Sorry, buddy.
668
00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:21,533
Why don't you just pack up your beer, take it back to your frat?
669
00:39:23,076 --> 00:39:25,537
Besides, they won't even let us up there.
670
00:39:30,542 --> 00:39:34,171

That sounds great.
724
00:43:28,989 --> 00:43:31,408
I'd be honored to have you join mein the Officer's Club for lunch.
725

You know what?Thanks, Habershaw, I'm just--

-You sure?-Yeah.
729
00:43:40,959 --> 00:43:42,961

-We move bodies.-Mmm.
734
00:43:55,516 --> 00:43:59,520
Our soldiers. KIA. In caskets.
735
00:43:59,603 --> 00:44:00,938
That must be hard, That must be hard,
736
00:44:02,189 --> 00:44:03,774
dealing with the dead all day.
737
00:44:03,857 --> 00:44:05,400
I don't think about it much, sir.
738
00:44:05,901 --> 00:44:08,070
I'll have plenty of timeto think about it all later.
739
00:44:09,279 --> 00:44:15,661
So, any chance you can brief us a littleabout what you guys are planning?
740
00:44:16,703 --> 00:44:19,122
-You can trust us.-Come on, Habershaw.
741
00:44:19,998 --> 00:44:23,210
If he could trust us, he wouldn't bea very good CIA agent. Now, would he?
742
00:44:24,086 --> 00:44:26,129
Mmm. That's true.
743
00:44:28,882 --> 00:44:30,634
Not that I am a CIA agent.
744
00:44:33,804 --> 00:44:36,473
By the way, I wasn'tthe one who told Fusco who you are.
745
00:44:36,557 --> 00:44:38,058
That came from Captain Dyer in Saigon.
746
00:44:38,141 --> 00:44:40,185
-I would never blow your cover.-Mmm.
747
00:44:40,269 --> 00:44:44,022
I see a lot of shit, and it all stays right in here.
748
00:44:44,648 --> 00:44:46,149
-Everything.-Mmm.
749
00:44:46,817 --> 00:44:48,402
I got a lot of shit in here.

So, come on.Can't you give us just a hint?

You know, tell us without telling us?
752
00:45:02,082 --> 00:45:03,417
All right. Let's just say…
753
00:45:06,545 --> 00:45:10,090
I'm here to deliver beer to a friend.
754
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,595
Beer? To who?

Wow, that's gonna be a shit show, isn't it?

If you and your peopleever need any help. Any help.
761
00:45:35,115 --> 00:45:39,870
I mean, like, if you ever needto get something out of here or back in,
762
00:45:39,953 --> 00:45:42,331
and you need it to be under the radar, I'm your guy.
763
00:45:42,414 --> 00:45:43,415
Good to know.
764
00:45:43,498 --> 00:45:45,417
-Can I ask you a question, sir?-Shoot.
765
00:45:45,500 --> 00:45:47,002
If someone wanted to do what you do,

how does one go aboutgetting noticed by Langley?
767

00:49:53,957 --> 00:49:55,667
After this, I'm going to visit Reynoldsand Pappas.
830
00:49:55,751 --> 00:49:59,171

842
00:50:32,246 --> 00:50:34,456
Sarge, can we geta… …egg beater in tonight
843
00:50:34,540 --> 00:50:36,083
and, you know, scoot him out of here?
844
00:50:36,166 --> 00:50:38,418
It's too dangerous.Nothing's flying till morning.
845
00:50:39,044 --> 00:50:40,504
So what am I supposed to do with him?
846
00:50:40,587 --> 00:50:42,631
Hell if I know. He's yours now.Take him with you.
847
00:50:42,714 --> 00:50:44,341
What-- I'm on ambush post, sir.
848
00:50:44,424 --> 00:50:45,676
Your problem, Duggan!
849
00:50:50,138 --> 00:50:51,682
You want a taste of Vietnam?
850
00:50:53,100 --> 00:50:55,227
You're about to get it. Grab your shit.
851
00:50:57,479 --> 00:50:59,273
-Grab your shit!-I am.
852
00:51:02,526 --> 00:51:03,527
Hey.
853
00:51:06,655 --> 00:51:07,656
Thanks.
854
00:51:10,492 --> 00:51:12,619
-What's this for?-To shoot the bad guys, dodo.
855
00:51:12,703 --> 00:51:14,663
If it looks likeyou're gonna be taken for prisoner,
856
00:51:14,746 --> 00:51:16,498
shoot yourselfor they'll torture you for info.
857
00:51:16,582 --> 00:51:18,584
For info? Hold on. I don't have any info.
858
00:51:18,667 --> 00:51:20,294
They don't know that, asshole!
859
00:51:20,878 --> 00:51:23,422
Okay, geez. A bit edgy.
860
00:51:23,505 --> 00:51:24,715
Ah, no. Bad idea, Sarge.
861
00:51:24,798 --> 00:51:27,259
He's got a better chanceof shooting one of us than one of them.
862
00:51:27,342 --> 00:51:31,013
W-What are you talking about?I know guns. I was in the military.
863
00:51:31,096 --> 00:51:33,056
-Where'd you serve?-Massachusetts.
864
00:51:33,682 --> 00:51:34,683
Yeah, give me that.
865
00:51:36,518 --> 00:51:37,644
Are you ready?
866
00:51:38,437 --> 00:51:40,439
I guess. What are we doing?
867
00:51:41,773 --> 00:51:43,275
We're gonna run for our lives.
868
00:52:00,876 --> 00:52:01,919
All right.
869
00:52:03,962 --> 00:52:06,340
-We're halfway home.-Halfway?
870
00:52:06,423 --> 00:52:08,717
On the count of three, follow me. One--
871
00:52:09,301 --> 00:52:10,302
Wait, wait, wait.
872
00:52:10,385 --> 00:52:12,095
-What?-Let's go back.
873
00:52:12,179 --> 00:52:14,556
Just as bad going backas it is going forward.
874
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,058
Then let's just stay here.
875
00:52:16,141 --> 00:52:17,935
Here? We're in no-man's-land.
876
00:52:18,018 --> 00:52:19,645
So? I'm okay with that.
877
00:52:19,728 --> 00:52:20,812
We gotta keep going.
878
00:52:20,896 --> 00:52:23,273
Can't we just call a tank or something?
879
00:52:23,357 --> 00:52:25,609
Tank-- There's no goddamn tanks out here.
880
00:52:26,193 --> 00:52:29,279
All right. On the count of three.
881
00:52:29,363 --> 00:52:32,866
-One, two, three.-
882
00:52:47,381 --> 00:52:48,966
Oh, shit!
883
00:52:49,967 --> 00:52:54,137
-Oh, God. Oh, shit.-
884
00:52:55,681 --> 00:52:57,850
-All I could think about…-
885
00:52:58,350 --> 00:53:00,310
…"What if these arethe last moment of your life?" …"What if these arethe last moment of your life?"
886
00:53:00,811 --> 00:53:02,271
And all I could think was,
887
00:53:02,354 --> 00:53:06,316
"I hope they're aiming at the asshole…""…in the checkered shirt."
888
00:53:07,484 --> 00:53:09,194
--Relax, relax.
889
00:53:09,278 --> 00:53:10,779
One of your beers just exploded.
890
00:53:10,863 --> 00:53:15,742
--Just a beer. Just a beer.
891
00:53:31,466 --> 00:53:34,761
Duggan, where's the Starlight scope?We got a lot of movement on the perimeter.
892
00:53:40,726 --> 00:53:42,311
What's going on? Are we okay?
893
00:53:42,394 --> 00:53:44,271
NVA are out there moving around.
894
00:53:45,105 --> 00:53:47,316
-NVA?-Probably just passing by.
895
00:53:47,399 --> 00:53:49,693
But if they attack, boogie on back to the line post.
896
00:53:50,652 --> 00:53:53,322
Okay. The line post is…
897
00:53:53,405 --> 00:53:56,241
-Back where we came from.-Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
898
00:53:57,201 --> 00:53:59,328
Tell them to turn on the lights.Let's see what's out there.
899
00:54:02,414 --> 00:54:04,499
India-26, this is Romeo-45.
900
00:54:04,583 --> 00:54:06,877
We need illuminationforward of our position. Over.
901
00:54:07,461 --> 00:54:09,880
Copy that, Romeo-45. Illumination inbound.
902
00:54:46,208 --> 00:54:47,209
Who's this hand job?
903
00:54:48,001 --> 00:54:49,002
Hi.
904
00:54:49,086 --> 00:54:52,548
He's my next-door neighbor.He brought me a beer.
905
00:54:53,298 --> 00:54:54,299
What the hell does that mean?
906
00:54:54,383 --> 00:54:56,635
It means he jumped on a freightin New York.
907
00:54:57,219 --> 00:54:59,972
Came all the way out here.Bring me a beer.
908
00:55:01,390 --> 00:55:03,433
-Seriously?-Yeah.
909
00:55:03,934 --> 00:55:07,604
Wait a minute. Are you telling meyou don't have to be here,
910
00:55:08,564 --> 00:55:09,690
and you're here?
911
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,401
Yeah.
912
00:55:32,254 --> 00:55:33,255
Yo.
913
00:55:45,767 --> 00:55:47,060
How many beers you bring?
914
00:55:48,687 --> 00:55:49,688
A bunch.
915
00:55:51,773 --> 00:55:53,567
Now would be the time to pass them out.
916
00:55:54,651 --> 00:55:56,069
-Yeah?-Mm-hmm.
917
00:56:11,627 --> 00:56:12,628
Busker.
918
00:56:13,462 --> 00:56:14,880
Sorry, they're a little warm.
919
00:56:19,801 --> 00:56:22,095
That is good.
920
00:56:27,184 --> 00:56:28,602
Reynolds is dead.
921
00:56:29,978 --> 00:56:30,979
What?
922
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:34,858
Got word a few days ago.
923
00:56:35,526 --> 00:56:36,568
No.
924
00:56:40,155 --> 00:56:43,742
Goddamn it.
925
00:56:47,412 --> 00:56:49,873
We never saw that kidwithout a smile on his face.
926
00:56:55,003 --> 00:56:56,046
Yep.
927
00:57:01,927 --> 00:57:03,136
Any word on Minogue?
928
00:57:07,850 --> 00:57:08,851
No.
929
00:57:14,481 --> 00:57:15,816
Now, let's get some sleep.
930
00:57:17,693 --> 00:57:18,861
Where?
931
00:57:19,820 --> 00:57:22,656
Here. What, are you expectinga Howard Johnson's?
932
00:57:37,838 --> 00:57:39,506
Throw this on if it gets rainy.
933
00:58:02,696 --> 00:58:04,531
You really Duggan's next-door neighbor?
934
00:58:08,869 --> 00:58:09,870
Yeah.
935
00:58:12,956 --> 00:58:14,541
Couple of apartments over,
936
00:58:15,751 --> 00:58:18,170
but close enough to hearhis old man yelling at him.
937
00:58:19,963 --> 00:58:21,173
He was a yeller.
938
00:58:22,174 --> 00:58:23,175
Where you from?
939
00:58:23,717 --> 00:58:24,718
Philly.
940
00:58:25,928 --> 00:58:27,429
How long till you go home?
941
00:58:28,597 --> 00:58:30,307
I don't really keep track anymore.
942
00:58:32,142 --> 00:58:33,644
You don't wanna jinx it?
943
00:58:36,271 --> 00:58:38,607
I went home after my first tour.
944
00:58:42,402 --> 00:58:43,820
I didn't fit in.
945
00:58:45,072 --> 00:58:46,448
So, I came back.
946
00:58:49,243 --> 00:58:50,244
Twice.
947
00:58:55,123 --> 00:58:56,667
I'm way more at home here.
948
00:59:00,045 --> 00:59:01,046
Christ.
949
00:59:11,098 --> 00:59:12,182
Come on. Time to go.
950
00:59:12,683 --> 00:59:13,767
Is it over?
951
00:59:13,851 --> 00:59:15,102
Yeah, you're dead.
952
00:59:20,816 --> 00:59:21,984
That wasn't so bad.
953
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,825
Okay, guys. We're heading out.
954
00:59:29,908 --> 00:59:32,160
Wait, hang on. Hang on.One second. One second.
955
00:59:32,953 --> 00:59:35,581
One breakfast beer, first.
956
00:59:35,664 --> 00:59:37,416
-All right. All right, just one.-Thanks.
957
00:59:37,499 --> 00:59:40,252
Hey, fellas. Smile.
958
00:59:43,589 --> 00:59:45,716
-Hey. Hey.-Here you go.
959
00:59:45,799 --> 00:59:47,134
-Thank you.-This is great.
960
00:59:47,217 --> 00:59:48,385
-Anyone else? Whoo.-Oh, yeah.
961
00:59:48,468 --> 00:59:50,470
Here, for your scrapbook.
962
00:59:51,972 --> 00:59:54,433
-Don't peel it open for 90 seconds.-Got it.
963
00:59:55,058 --> 00:59:56,185
Thank you, sir.
964
01:00:03,817 --> 01:00:05,068
What's he doing?
965
01:00:05,819 --> 01:00:06,862
What?
966
01:00:06,945 --> 01:00:08,322
Just smoking a jay?
967
01:00:10,365 --> 01:00:12,201
What if the sergeant finds out?
968
01:00:12,284 --> 01:00:13,994
The sergeant probably sold it to him.
969
01:00:14,745 --> 01:00:15,746
Huh?
970
01:00:16,872 --> 01:00:17,956
Look, Chick.
971
01:00:18,540 --> 01:00:20,918
Me and my guysare happy as shit you brought us beer.
972
01:00:21,001 --> 01:00:24,254
It's the first time I've seena couple of the asswipes smile in weeks.
973
01:00:24,755 --> 01:00:27,966
But we're going out on patrol today, and you can't come with us.
974
01:00:28,675 --> 01:00:31,553
I mean, hell, you don't wanna come with us.
975
01:00:33,055 --> 01:00:36,391
All right, there'll be choppers coming inon the LZ in two to three hours,
976
01:00:36,475 --> 01:00:37,976
once this shit clears up.
977
01:00:38,060 --> 01:00:39,895
Try to grab the first one out of here.
978
01:00:40,687 --> 01:00:41,688
Yeah.
979
01:00:43,106 --> 01:00:44,107
Okay.
980
01:00:46,151 --> 01:00:50,489
Oh, hey. I got something for you.
981
01:00:59,498 --> 01:01:01,625
Reynolds's girlfriendwanted me to give these to him. Reynolds's girlfriendwanted me to give these to him.
982
01:01:03,210 --> 01:01:04,461
Guess you could use them.
983
01:01:08,674 --> 01:01:10,884
That's not a rock you're sitting on.That's elephant shit.
984
01:01:12,511 --> 01:01:14,471
--VC trains them to move equipment.
985
01:01:14,555 --> 01:01:15,556
-Really?-Yeah.
986
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:20,060
Promise me you'll go right to your boat, Chick. End it here, please.
987
01:01:21,395 --> 01:01:24,898
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
988
01:01:24,982 --> 01:01:28,735
And I kind of got to go anyway.I'm running out of time.
989
01:01:29,820 --> 01:01:31,613
Duggan, let's go. We're moving out!
990
01:01:32,197 --> 01:01:33,407
Be right there, Sarge.
991
01:01:35,826 --> 01:01:38,287
Well, thanks for comingall the way out here, Chick.
992
01:01:38,787 --> 01:01:41,498
You're probably the only crazy bastardon earth to do something like this.
993
01:01:50,132 --> 01:01:52,968
-Hey, stay safe, Ricky.-Yeah.
994
01:01:53,468 --> 01:01:55,387
I'll see you back in the neighborhood.
995
01:02:27,461 --> 01:02:28,670
Don't worry about him.
996
01:02:30,506 --> 01:02:33,675
Every once in a while you run into a guywho's too dumb to get killed.
997
01:03:22,558 --> 01:03:26,770
-Hey, can you take me to Saigon?-Is that where you're bringing him?
998
01:03:26,854 --> 01:03:27,896
Bringing who?
999
01:03:48,125 --> 01:03:49,668
Where's the rest of them?
1000
01:03:51,128 --> 01:03:53,005
--He said, "Who?"
1001
01:03:53,505 --> 01:03:57,885
Listen, Charlie, I want names now.Who's been helping you?
1002
01:04:02,681 --> 01:04:04,308
He says, "I don't know anything."
1003
01:04:06,059 --> 01:04:09,354
-Okay. Strap in!-
1004
01:04:09,438 --> 01:04:12,191
Time to see if this piece of shit can fly!
1005
01:04:17,446 --> 01:04:18,697
Now!
1006
01:04:21,074 --> 01:04:22,534
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey!
1007
01:04:22,618 --> 01:04:27,623
You've got ten secondsor you're going out the door! I'm serious!
1008
01:04:27,706 --> 01:04:29,666
What the hell are you doing?
1009
01:04:35,088 --> 01:04:36,632
Who's been helping you?
1010
01:04:50,521 --> 01:04:52,523
He swears he don't know anything.
1011
01:04:52,606 --> 01:04:54,608
Well, tell him he better make something up,
1012
01:04:54,691 --> 01:04:56,026
or he's going out!
1013
01:04:56,109 --> 01:04:58,987
Come on, man!Just tell him to tell him what he wants!
1014
01:05:15,921 --> 01:05:17,005
We got it!
1015
01:05:17,506 --> 01:05:19,466
Okay! Take her down!
1016
01:06:19,359 --> 01:06:21,320
What's this? This isn't Saigon.
1017
01:06:21,403 --> 01:06:24,323
The hell you talking about?Your partner told me to land at Kon Tum.
1018
01:06:29,578 --> 01:06:30,704
Who are you again?
1019
01:06:31,580 --> 01:06:33,832
-Just a tourist, like you!-Yeah?
1020
01:06:36,251 --> 01:06:37,544
Who's your travel agent?
1021
01:06:39,004 --> 01:06:40,088
Same as yours.
1022
01:06:41,548 --> 01:06:43,091
I'll tell the boss you say hi.
1023
01:06:56,522 --> 01:06:58,941
Sorry, sir.I can't find nothing going to Saigon.
1024
01:06:59,024 --> 01:07:00,192
Well, keep looking, okay? Well, keep looking, okay?
1025
01:07:00,275 --> 01:07:03,445
I need to be at the harbor by 8:00 a.m.So I need to get out by tonight.
1026
01:07:03,529 --> 01:07:06,657
I could ask the helicopter you came in onif he could take you to Saigon.
1027
01:07:08,659 --> 01:07:10,202
No, I-I can't go on that.
1028
01:07:10,285 --> 01:07:13,330
Somebody blew their lunchall over the place. It's disgusting.
1029
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:16,041
What about those ones?
1030
01:07:17,042 --> 01:07:18,335
Oh, they're down.
1031
01:07:18,418 --> 01:07:21,672
Got a couple mechanics driving infrom Pleiku air base to pitch in.
1032
01:07:21,755 --> 01:07:23,215

01:07:27,177 --> 01:07:28,637
Pleiku, do they have choppers?
1035
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,889
Sure, it's a helicopter base.

01:07:31,473 --> 01:07:34,059
-Well, how far is it?-Twenty-four klicks due south.

1038
01:07:37,187 --> 01:07:39,982
-Well, can you get me a lift there?-Not tonight, sir.
1039
01:07:40,065 --> 01:07:42,109
But I can get you a ride backwith the mechanics tomorrow.
1040
01:07:42,192 --> 01:07:44,236
-What if I walk?-Sixteen miles?
1041
01:07:44,319 --> 01:07:46,989
-Yeah. I could hitch, you know. I---Not advisable, sir.
1042
01:07:47,072 --> 01:07:48,490
The VC own the night on that road.
1043
01:07:57,958 --> 01:08:01,336
All right. Give me a second.Let me see what I can do. All right. Give me a second.Let me see what I can do.
1044
01:08:03,422 --> 01:08:04,423
Thanks.
1045
01:08:17,394 --> 01:08:18,395
Anything?
1046
01:08:18,478 --> 01:08:20,522
No, but tell you what.
1047
01:08:20,605 --> 01:08:22,608
I'll give you a liftover to Pleiku myself.
1048
01:08:23,108 --> 01:08:25,819
Really?Y-You can just leave your post like that?
1049
01:08:25,903 --> 01:08:28,947
Yeah. As long as I'm backin an hour or so, I should be okay.
1050
01:08:30,073 --> 01:08:33,284
Oh. Amazing. Which way's your head?I gotta take a leak.
1051
01:08:34,286 --> 01:08:35,703
-Last door on the left.-Oh.
1052
01:08:36,705 --> 01:08:37,831
I'll meet you out front.
1053
01:08:38,332 --> 01:08:39,333
Thank you.
1054
01:09:40,018 --> 01:09:43,647
Shit! He's running! Let's go!
1055
01:11:05,854 --> 01:11:07,606
All right. Let's get out of here.
1056
01:12:21,889 --> 01:12:24,683
Raquel Welch is with us tonight.Uh, pretty young lady.
1057
01:12:24,766 --> 01:12:25,893
-Oh, yeah.-Mmm?
1058
01:12:25,976 --> 01:12:27,436
-Yes. I'll drink to that.-
1059
01:12:27,519 --> 01:12:28,937
-You'll drink to that?-
1060
01:12:29,021 --> 01:12:31,064
--You'll drink to a--
1061
01:12:31,148 --> 01:12:33,609
You know."There's a tree. I'll drink to that."
1062
01:12:34,151 --> 01:12:36,987
What do you think, Chick?Am I doing the right thing enlisting?
1063
01:12:37,070 --> 01:12:38,906
Of course you're doingthe right thing, Tommy.
1064
01:12:39,990 --> 01:12:43,076
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I thinkI'm doing the right thing too. Yeah.
1065
01:12:45,746 --> 01:12:46,830
But sometimes, you know…
1066
01:12:48,415 --> 01:12:49,416
What?
1067
01:12:52,878 --> 01:12:54,546
Everything, you know.
1068
01:12:55,172 --> 01:12:59,176
The whole thing is--It's-- It's-- It's confusing.
1069
01:12:59,259 --> 01:13:02,221
I mean, all the shit you hearabout what's going on over there, I mean, all the shit you hearabout what's going on over there,
1070
01:13:02,304 --> 01:13:03,805
and everyone's gota different point of view.
1071
01:13:03,889 --> 01:13:05,307
Who does?
1072
01:13:05,390 --> 01:13:06,475
Like my uncle Leo.
1073
01:13:06,558 --> 01:13:08,727
He was a flamethrower in World War II.
1074
01:13:08,810 --> 01:13:10,562
Even he said he wouldn't fight in Vietnam,
1075
01:13:10,646 --> 01:13:12,731
because he doesn't even knowwho the Nazis are over there.
1076
01:13:13,941 --> 01:13:15,025
There's still Nazis?
1077
01:13:16,068 --> 01:13:17,486
The bad guys.
1078
01:13:19,154 --> 01:13:20,739
Who are we even fighting, huh?
1079
01:13:22,491 --> 01:13:27,996
Well, that would be the Reds, the commies.
1080
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,499
The guys who want to come overand take over everything.
1081
01:13:30,582 --> 01:13:32,251
Yeah. When I was talkingto your sister's friends,
1082
01:13:32,334 --> 01:13:34,169
they said just the opposite thing.
1083
01:13:34,253 --> 01:13:37,881
They said there are no bad guys.It's just a-a revolutionary war.
1084
01:13:37,965 --> 01:13:39,216
And the people we're there defending,
1085
01:13:39,299 --> 01:13:41,176
they don't even want us therein the first place.
1086
01:13:41,260 --> 01:13:43,428
Minogue, don't listen to my sister's friends.
1087
01:13:43,512 --> 01:13:46,557
I told you, sh-- Columbia morons.
1088
01:13:50,894 --> 01:13:51,895
Hey, Tommy.
1089
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:58,569
You're going over thereto defend the United States of America.
1090
01:13:59,444 --> 01:14:02,114
How could that possibly not bethe right thing to do? How could that possibly not bethe right thing to do?
1091
01:14:04,366 --> 01:14:09,121
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right, Chick.Yeah, you're right. You're right.
1092
01:15:48,303 --> 01:15:49,346
You fuckin'--
1093
01:16:12,494 --> 01:16:13,495
No! Don't shoot!
1094
01:16:13,579 --> 01:16:16,164
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
1095
01:16:21,587 --> 01:16:25,340
Chickie? Chickie fricking Donohue?
1096
01:16:25,924 --> 01:16:26,925
Who's that?
1097
01:16:28,635 --> 01:16:30,804
-It's McLoone!-Who?
1098
01:16:30,888 --> 01:16:35,475
Kevin McLoone from Dyckman Street!Jesus! What the hell are you doing here?
1099
01:16:35,559 --> 01:16:36,727
Loony?
1100
01:16:38,270 --> 01:16:39,313
You know this guy?
1101
01:16:39,396 --> 01:16:41,940
Yeah, we used to play CYO basketball together.
1102
01:16:42,024 --> 01:16:44,484
Chickie, what the hell? Why are you--Am I dead?
1103
01:16:44,568 --> 01:16:47,321
Why are you in the middle of the junglein the middle of Vietnam?
1104
01:16:47,404 --> 01:16:49,072
Long story.But the CIA, they're after me, man.
1105
01:16:49,156 --> 01:16:50,866
-But---They're trying to kill me.
1106
01:16:51,366 --> 01:16:53,452
The CI-- What are you talking about?
1107
01:16:53,535 --> 01:16:55,287
The Central Intelligence Agency.
1108
01:16:55,370 --> 01:16:58,957
-They're after me, man.-So you came to Vietnam?
1109
01:16:59,041 --> 01:17:03,503
No, I came to deliver Duggan and Reynoldsand the other Inwood's guys beers. No, I came to deliver Duggan and Reynoldsand the other Inwood's guys beers.
1110
01:17:03,587 --> 01:17:06,215
Wai-Wai-Wait, beers?What-- What do you mean, beers?
1111
01:17:06,298 --> 01:17:07,966
I thought it would be niceto bring them all beers.
1112
01:17:08,050 --> 01:17:10,344
But now the CIA is after me,
1113
01:17:10,427 --> 01:17:12,471
because I saw shitthat I wasn't supposed to see.
1114
01:17:12,554 --> 01:17:14,056
What did you see?
1115
01:17:14,139 --> 01:17:16,016
They were throwing peopleout of helicopters.
1116
01:17:16,099 --> 01:17:19,269
-How'd you know it was CIA?-Because I was in the chopper with them.
1117
01:17:19,353 --> 01:17:22,064
Wait. Y-You're CIA?
1118
01:17:22,147 --> 01:17:26,193
No. No, what? No, no, no, no, no.They thought that I was one of them.
1119
01:17:26,276 --> 01:17:27,903
That's because a major came up to me.
1120
01:17:27,986 --> 01:17:30,531
He saw how I was dressed, so I just-- I went along with it.
1121
01:17:30,614 --> 01:17:32,157
They-- For a second, it--
1122
01:17:32,241 --> 01:17:34,451
Then they started throwing peopleout the helicopter.
1123
01:17:34,535 --> 01:17:37,746
And this kid, he said he could drive meall the way to Pleiku,
1124
01:17:37,829 --> 01:17:39,623
like he could just leave his post.
1125
01:17:39,706 --> 01:17:42,834
But I knew it was bullshit. I knewit was bullshit. He was setting me up.
1126
01:17:42,918 --> 01:17:46,672
There was a foot long caterpillarclimbing up my arm,
1127
01:17:46,755 --> 01:17:48,632
on my face, almost in my mouth.
1128
01:17:48,715 --> 01:17:50,259
-Okay, buddy.-It was seriously--
1129
01:17:50,342 --> 01:17:52,010
Hey, take a breath.Look, get in the Jeep, Chick.
1130
01:17:52,094 --> 01:17:53,971
We got to get the hell out of herebefore we get killed.
1131
01:17:54,054 --> 01:17:55,347
-Come on.-Okay.
1132
01:17:58,016 --> 01:17:59,017
Sorry, guys.
1133
01:17:59,101 --> 01:18:00,769
Can you take me to Pleikuso I can catch a chopper? Can you take me to Pleikuso I can catch a chopper?
1134
01:18:00,853 --> 01:18:02,062
Right now we're heading to Kon Tum.
1135
01:18:02,145 --> 01:18:04,857
-Just a few miles up. We got to fix---What? No, I can't go back there.
1136
01:18:04,940 --> 01:18:07,150
-That's where the CIA is.-Oh, for Chrissakes.
1137
01:18:07,234 --> 01:18:09,152
I have to get to my ship in Saigonright away.
1138
01:18:09,236 --> 01:18:11,655
I'm sorry, man.We got orders. We got to get up there.
1139
01:18:11,738 --> 01:18:13,532
All right, fine. Then I'm out.
1140
01:18:14,116 --> 01:18:15,158
Hey. W--
1141
01:18:16,410 --> 01:18:18,495
Come on, Chick.Please get back in the Jeep.
1142
01:18:18,579 --> 01:18:19,663
We'll get you back to Saigon,
1143
01:18:19,746 --> 01:18:21,707
and we'll make surethe CIA doesn't get you.
1144
01:18:21,790 --> 01:18:23,500
No. I'm not going back to Kon Tum.
1145
01:18:24,084 --> 01:18:26,128
I'm not messing around, Kev.
1146
01:18:26,211 --> 01:18:28,630
I'm in big troubleif I don't get my ass out of this country.
1147
01:18:28,714 --> 01:18:30,507
Look, man.We don't got no choice, all right?
1148
01:18:30,591 --> 01:18:31,842
We got to go fix those helicopters,
1149
01:18:31,925 --> 01:18:34,303
and if you stay out here alone, you're a dead man.
1150
01:18:34,803 --> 01:18:36,138
I'll take my chances.
1151
01:18:36,221 --> 01:18:39,474
-Don't be an asshole! Come on.-No, you don't be an asshole!
1152
01:18:40,684 --> 01:18:44,104
You know me, Loony.Why would I make up a story like this?
1153
01:18:46,899 --> 01:18:48,942
Please. Kev.
1154
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:54,781
Mason, turn it around.
1155
01:18:55,866 --> 01:18:58,035
Thank you.
1156
01:19:04,291 --> 01:19:07,336
Hey, what happened to those elephantsback there?
1157
01:19:07,836 --> 01:19:11,089
Napalm.It's a miracle anything survives out here.
1158
01:19:26,396 --> 01:19:29,441
I'm sorry about this, Kev.I really appreciate it.
1159
01:19:30,275 --> 01:19:33,153
Hey, it's not every dayyou get to help a secret agent in need.
1160
01:19:34,780 --> 01:19:35,864
Hey, Chick.
1161
01:19:37,115 --> 01:19:40,702
I'm real sorry about Tommy Minogue.I know how tight you guys were.
1162
01:19:41,662 --> 01:19:43,914
It's not over yet.They just haven't found him.
1163
01:19:46,124 --> 01:19:47,584
Yeah. Okay.
1164
01:19:51,547 --> 01:19:54,258
Stay safe, Loony.I'll see you back in the neighborhood.
1165
01:20:08,897 --> 01:20:09,982
Hey, Kev.
1166
01:21:08,415 --> 01:21:10,834
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
1167
01:21:24,515 --> 01:21:26,475
The Drake wasn'tsupposed to leave till tomorrow.
1168
01:21:26,558 --> 01:21:29,728
Intel picked up chatter.Enemy planning a raid.
1169
01:21:29,811 --> 01:21:33,524
With all that ammo on board, we unloaded her first.
1170
01:21:33,607 --> 01:21:35,108
She's halfway to Manila by now.
1171
01:21:35,192 --> 01:21:39,112
But she can't leave.I'm her oiler. I-I run the engine room.
1172
01:21:39,196 --> 01:21:41,615
Well, apparently she doesn't give a shit.
1173
01:21:41,698 --> 01:21:43,951
How-- How can I catch up with it then?
1174
01:21:44,034 --> 01:21:46,078
How fast can you swim?
1175
01:21:46,161 --> 01:21:47,704
This ain't funny, man.
1176
01:21:48,205 --> 01:21:51,416
Can you call the shipor something and just tell them to stop?
1177
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:54,127
No, I can't, man.
1178
01:21:54,211 --> 01:21:56,255
Just-- Just give me a break.
1179
01:21:56,755 --> 01:21:59,883
I'm-- I'm a civilian, and I just need to get out of this war.
1180
01:22:00,467 --> 01:22:03,345
Well, you're gonna find outit's a lot harder to get out of a war
1181
01:22:03,428 --> 01:22:04,888
than it is to get into one.
1182
01:22:05,430 --> 01:22:07,599
My suggestion, go to your plan B.
1183
01:22:08,183 --> 01:22:11,353
I don't have a plan B.
1184
01:22:11,436 --> 01:22:16,024
Well, off the top of my head, I'd say you're borked.
1185
01:22:38,881 --> 01:22:41,550
Oklahoma! Oklahoma!
1186
01:22:42,885 --> 01:22:45,220
New York. Happy New Year.
1187
01:22:45,304 --> 01:22:48,098
Aw, thanks.You're about a month too late, but--
1188
01:22:48,182 --> 01:22:52,644
No. Tonight Tét eve. Vietnam New Year.
1189
01:22:54,563 --> 01:22:57,357
Ah. Right. Well, hey, happy New Year.
1190
01:22:57,441 --> 01:22:59,943
Hey. Which way's the US Embassy from here?
1191
01:23:00,694 --> 01:23:03,113
Right around the corner. Cannot miss.
1192
01:23:03,197 --> 01:23:04,323
What corner?
1193
01:23:07,075 --> 01:23:11,163
Come on. I show you.Nobody listen me here anyway.
1194
01:23:12,122 --> 01:23:13,790
Oi!
1195
01:23:17,461 --> 01:23:20,380
After war, I visit Oklahoma.
1196
01:23:20,881 --> 01:23:21,882
Really?
1197
01:23:22,382 --> 01:23:25,093
Well, I doubt there's a direct flightfrom here to Oklahoma,
1198
01:23:25,177 --> 01:23:28,347
so, why don't you stop over in New York, and I'll buy you a beer?
1199
01:23:28,430 --> 01:23:31,558
Okay. New York people nice? Friendly?
1200
01:23:32,059 --> 01:23:33,393
Oh, the best.
1201
01:23:33,977 --> 01:23:35,729
Just don't look them in the eyeon the sidewalk,
1202
01:23:35,812 --> 01:23:36,980
or you might have to fight them.
1203
01:23:38,148 --> 01:23:39,608
There your embassy.
1204
01:23:40,192 --> 01:23:41,568
Thank you.
1205
01:23:41,652 --> 01:23:44,530
Hey, hey.What-- What New York street you live on?
1206
01:23:45,822 --> 01:23:48,408
You serious? You're really coming?
1207
01:23:49,117 --> 01:23:50,702
Unless you-- you not serious?
1208
01:23:51,286 --> 01:23:54,581
No, I'm serious.Yeah, I'm more serious than you.
1209
01:23:55,791 --> 01:23:57,209
Hey, here's my address.
1210
01:23:59,545 --> 01:24:03,966
And this is my phone number. Give me a call. This is great. And this is my phone number. Give me a call. This is great.
1211
01:24:04,049 --> 01:24:05,592
You can stay with me and my family.
1212
01:24:05,676 --> 01:24:08,595
You'll meet my dad.He's a real ballbuster. You'll like him.
1213
01:24:09,179 --> 01:24:10,597
I'm Chickie, by the way.
1214
01:24:10,681 --> 01:24:11,682
Hieu.
1215
01:24:12,182 --> 01:24:14,560
-Hieu. Nice to meet you. Thank you.-Thank you, Chickie.
1216
01:24:14,643 --> 01:24:15,644
Thank you.
1217
01:24:15,727 --> 01:24:16,812
See you in New York.
1218
01:24:16,895 --> 01:24:18,105
See you there.
1219
01:24:21,733 --> 01:24:22,818
Name.
1220
01:24:22,901 --> 01:24:27,489
Donohue. John Donohue.I'm American, I'm a merchant mariner.
1221
01:24:27,573 --> 01:24:31,034
My ship, the Drake, left early.Something about chatter.
1222
01:24:31,118 --> 01:24:33,620
Anyways, it took off without me, so I'm in a real jam here.
1223
01:24:33,704 --> 01:24:35,998
You're right here. I got a file on you.
1224
01:24:36,498 --> 01:24:37,499
Oh, great.
1225
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,502
The captain of the Drakeleft a message for you.
1226
01:24:43,380 --> 01:24:44,381
And…
1227
01:24:44,464 --> 01:24:47,968
The captain said if you're not dead, he'll take you back on the ship
1228
01:24:48,051 --> 01:24:49,219
if you can catch up with it.
1229
01:24:49,803 --> 01:24:53,223
Well, I'm not dead. So…
1230
01:24:55,184 --> 01:24:57,019
Not dead.
1231
01:24:59,271 --> 01:25:02,524
So-- So, sorry. Hold on. What's going on?How do I catch up with it? So-- So, sorry. Hold on. What's going on?How do I catch up with it?
1232
01:25:03,775 --> 01:25:04,985
You sit.
1233
01:25:16,455 --> 01:25:20,209
I can get you on a flightout of Bien Hoa Air Base to Manila
1234
01:25:20,292 --> 01:25:21,835
tomorrow night at 1900.
1235
01:25:21,919 --> 01:25:25,005
Thank you. Thank you.
1236
01:25:25,088 --> 01:25:27,883
Come by tomorrow morning after 10:00,and I'll have your papers.
1237
01:25:27,966 --> 01:25:29,968
Tomorrow morning after 10:00.
1238
01:25:31,386 --> 01:25:32,971
You're the greatest. Thank you.
1239
01:25:33,055 --> 01:25:36,225
Uh, hey. Do you mind if I lay downjust for 20 more minutes?
1240
01:25:36,308 --> 01:25:38,310
Then I'll be out of your hair, I swear.
1241
01:25:38,393 --> 01:25:40,145
Great. Thank you.
1242
01:25:46,860 --> 01:25:48,529
For the first time in five years,
1243
01:25:48,612 --> 01:25:51,114
firecrackers are ringing inthe Lunar New Year.
1244
01:25:51,865 --> 01:25:53,909
The South Vietnamese Government have…
1245
01:25:53,992 --> 01:25:56,995
I hope you have a safe trip back home.
1246
01:25:59,414 --> 01:26:00,874
How'd you know I was leaving? How'd you know I was leaving?
1247
01:26:00,958 --> 01:26:02,709
Everyone leaves Saigon.
1248
01:26:02,793 --> 01:26:06,755
First the Chinese, then the French.Next, the Americans.
1249
01:26:07,881 --> 01:26:10,759
After we fix it up, someone else comes, knocks it back down.
1250
01:26:11,260 --> 01:26:13,846
You really need to bone upon your American history, fella.
1251
01:26:13,929 --> 01:26:15,639
Every country America goes to war with,
1252
01:26:15,722 --> 01:26:17,349
we leave it in better shapethan we found it.
1253
01:26:17,432 --> 01:26:20,644
But don't take my word for it, just ask the Germans and the Japs.
1254
01:26:25,190 --> 01:26:27,109
If the Americans aren't winning,
1255
01:26:27,192 --> 01:26:29,236
then why would Hanoicall for a cease-fire?
1256
01:26:29,736 --> 01:26:33,490
Maybe it's not a cease-fire.Maybe the enemy just ran out of bullets.
1257
01:26:34,199 --> 01:26:37,202
I think you're wrong, Arthur.I think this is the real deal.
1258
01:26:37,286 --> 01:26:39,913
The first stepstowards legitimate peace talks.
1259
01:26:39,997 --> 01:26:42,583
I believe this country wantswhat you Americans want.
1260
01:26:43,083 --> 01:26:44,084
I would hope so.
1261
01:26:44,167 --> 01:26:47,087
I mean, half the people in the citywe saved from bombed-out villages.
1262
01:26:47,170 --> 01:26:48,213
We opened our doors to them
1263
01:26:48,297 --> 01:26:49,882
when they were running awayfrom the commies.
1264
01:26:49,965 --> 01:26:52,217
Maybe they weren't running awayfrom the commies.
1265
01:26:53,051 --> 01:26:55,262
Maybe they were just runningfrom the bombs.
1266
01:26:56,138 --> 01:26:58,765
Well, well, the blustering beer boy is back.
1267
01:26:58,849 --> 01:27:00,350
I agree with him. I agree with him.
1268
01:27:01,852 --> 01:27:04,813
They might smile at us, but they sure as shit don't want us here.
1269
01:27:04,897 --> 01:27:06,982
Maybe the cease-fire will make them happy.
1270
01:27:07,816 --> 01:27:10,319
Cease-fire.Wh-When does this cease-fire start?
1271
01:27:10,402 --> 01:27:13,488
Three days ago.There's a truce through New Year's.
1272
01:27:13,572 --> 01:27:16,533
Well, someone forgot to tell thatto the people living up in the woods.
1273
01:27:17,367 --> 01:27:18,702
What are you talking about?
1274
01:27:18,785 --> 01:27:20,996
They're still fighting like crazyup north.
1275
01:27:21,079 --> 01:27:23,165
-Where'd you hear that?-I didn't hear it.
1276
01:27:23,749 --> 01:27:24,875
I saw it.
1277
01:27:25,709 --> 01:27:29,004
I was up in the mountains at LZ Janewith the First Air Cav.
1278
01:27:29,087 --> 01:27:32,466
Rubbish. They haven't letnon-military personnel up there in weeks.
1279
01:27:32,549 --> 01:27:33,967
That may be true,
1280
01:27:34,051 --> 01:27:37,179
but they didn't mention thatwhen I was up there.
1281
01:27:39,264 --> 01:27:40,682
Let me see that.
1282
01:27:47,731 --> 01:27:50,234
You silly twat. You're serious.
1283
01:27:51,777 --> 01:27:52,778
Yeah.
1284
01:27:55,948 --> 01:27:58,283
Hey, kid.What did you say your name was again?
1285
01:28:00,077 --> 01:28:02,621
Chickie. Chickie Donohue.
1286
01:28:03,205 --> 01:28:09,962
Hien, Chickie Donohue is drinking on me.All night.
1287
01:28:12,714 --> 01:28:16,218
At the same time, Chick, I see 100 villagers killed
1288
01:28:16,301 --> 01:28:17,928
and only ten guns recovered.
1289
01:28:20,556 --> 01:28:25,936
I know someone, one of our guys, got trigger happy.
1290
01:28:26,019 --> 01:28:27,688
And I got to report that story too.
1291
01:28:27,771 --> 01:28:30,190
But see, that's the stuffthat the press can't get enough of.
1292
01:28:30,274 --> 01:28:34,152
That's all you guys report.That's what pisses me off.
1293
01:28:34,236 --> 01:28:36,029
It's not the whole story.
1294
01:28:36,113 --> 01:28:39,783
I don't know. Maybe-- maybe if someof you guys lost as many friends as I had,
1295
01:28:39,867 --> 01:28:41,493
you'd feel a little differently.
1296
01:28:43,245 --> 01:28:44,663
Those names behind the bar…
1297
01:28:47,249 --> 01:28:50,002
that's the names of the journalistswho've been killed so far.
1298
01:28:50,502 --> 01:28:54,548
Friends of mine.Friends of everyone in this room.
1299
01:28:59,887 --> 01:29:02,181
But then why do you guysjust report the bad stuff? But then why do you guysjust report the bad stuff?
1300
01:29:02,264 --> 01:29:04,057
That's what we hear back home.
1301
01:29:04,141 --> 01:29:06,935
I mean, doesn't that hurt us?Like, as a country?
1302
01:29:07,019 --> 01:29:09,188
The truth? The truth hurts us? No.
1303
01:29:09,855 --> 01:29:12,900
The truth doesn't hurt us. It's the lies.
1304
01:29:13,483 --> 01:29:18,906
The lies and the conspiracy to distortthe truth, that's what hurts America.
1305
01:29:20,908 --> 01:29:23,076
You've seen the soldierswe've got out here.
1306
01:29:24,286 --> 01:29:28,582
They're just kids.Good kids being patriots.
1307
01:29:28,665 --> 01:29:33,212
Doing what their country asks.And I want the truth told for them.
1308
01:29:34,004 --> 01:29:37,257
The people running this war, they're not patriots.
1309
01:29:37,966 --> 01:29:41,136
They're politicians.And they deal in the currency of lies.
1310
01:29:41,220 --> 01:29:42,387
And if the lies continue,
1311
01:29:42,471 --> 01:29:44,515
they're just gonna keepsending boys out here to be killed
1312
01:29:44,598 --> 01:29:46,141
to justify the boyswho already got killed.
1313
01:29:47,392 --> 01:29:48,644
And every GI that dies…
1314
01:29:50,646 --> 01:29:52,940
is what, 50, 60 Vietnamese?
1315
01:29:53,649 --> 01:29:54,900
And they're not soldiers.
1316
01:29:56,443 --> 01:30:02,574
They're moms and dads.Children. Little babies. They're moms and dads.Children. Little babies.
1317
01:30:12,876 --> 01:30:15,629
You sure gotsome weird fireworks out here.
1318
01:30:15,712 --> 01:30:19,007
That ain't fireworks, man.They're tracer rounds.
1319
01:30:34,273 --> 01:30:36,316
-Where you going?-The embassy.
1320
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:38,569
-I'm going with you.-No, it's too dangerous.
1321
01:30:38,652 --> 01:30:41,154
Hey, I need to get my papersor I can't fly out tomorrow!
1322
01:30:42,823 --> 01:30:45,284
C-C-C-Come on.
1323
01:30:49,705 --> 01:30:50,831
Wait, wait!
1324
01:31:01,592 --> 01:31:02,759
It could be VC.
1325
01:31:25,574 --> 01:31:27,284
-No, don't shoot.-Don't move.
1326
01:31:27,868 --> 01:31:29,870
Don't shoot.
1327
01:31:32,706 --> 01:31:33,790
Yeah.
1328
01:31:35,042 --> 01:31:37,127
-Hey!-Whoa!
1329
01:31:37,211 --> 01:31:39,922
Wait, yeah?
1330
01:31:46,303 --> 01:31:47,513
Both of us.
1331
01:31:52,976 --> 01:31:55,687
-Ah, yeah?-Go! Go!
1332
01:31:55,771 --> 01:31:57,064
Come on.
1333
01:32:00,901 --> 01:32:02,653
Soldier, what's the word?
1334
01:32:02,736 --> 01:32:03,946
Saigon's under attack.
1335
01:32:04,029 --> 01:32:06,406
Viet Cong are everywhere.They got half of Cho Lon.
1336
01:32:06,490 --> 01:32:07,658
We got to get to the embassy.
1337
01:32:07,741 --> 01:32:10,244
Forget it. There's fighting on every blockand Charlie has the embassy!
1338
01:32:10,327 --> 01:32:12,412
-That's not possible.-Let's move!
1339
01:32:13,872 --> 01:32:16,375
Hey! Hey!Can you get us closer to the embassy?
1340
01:32:17,543 --> 01:32:19,920
No, I told you.Get your asses out of here before you--
1341
01:32:43,485 --> 01:32:44,611
Chick!
1342
01:34:36,807 --> 01:34:37,975
Oklahoma?
1343
01:34:39,101 --> 01:34:40,185
Oklahoma!
1344
01:34:46,024 --> 01:34:47,192
Hieu! Hieu!
1345
01:34:54,867 --> 01:34:57,202
Chickie! Get out of the street!
1346
01:35:01,999 --> 01:35:05,043
He's dead! Move!
1347
01:35:31,612 --> 01:35:32,613
No.
1348
01:35:44,833 --> 01:35:45,918
You okay?
1349
01:35:47,794 --> 01:35:49,296
Yeah.
1350
01:35:49,379 --> 01:35:52,007
Don't forget to breathe.
1351
01:36:00,015 --> 01:36:01,058
I had this coming.
1352
01:36:07,856 --> 01:36:09,316
You know, when I was a kid,
1353
01:36:10,067 --> 01:36:13,987
if I did something wronglike lie to my mother or,
1354
01:36:14,530 --> 01:36:18,075
you know, sneak into the teacher's officeto steal the test answers,
1355
01:36:18,158 --> 01:36:20,118
hocking candy, or whatever…
1356
01:36:21,745 --> 01:36:25,707
God always found a wayto make me pay for it, you know?
1357
01:36:27,793 --> 01:36:33,632
Like, I'd make an error in the big game, or I'd break my leg or something.
1358
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,387
I'm telling you, man.I never got away with nothing. Nothing.
1359
01:36:42,057 --> 01:36:43,851
First time I had sex, I got crabs.
1360
01:36:46,645 --> 01:36:47,771
She blamed me.
1361
01:36:49,106 --> 01:36:51,233
Smuggling beer into a war zone…
1362
01:36:53,402 --> 01:36:55,821
that's not the smartest thingI've ever heard of.
1363
01:36:58,615 --> 01:37:00,450
It's certainly not the worst either. It's certainly not the worst either.
1364
01:37:29,521 --> 01:37:30,522
Hey, Chick.
1365
01:37:32,357 --> 01:37:35,194
Let's go seewhat the world looks like today. Come on.
1366
01:38:51,228 --> 01:38:54,022
Coates, you were right.The cease-fire was bullshit.
1367
01:38:54,815 --> 01:38:58,443
NVA came in with 80,000 troops.Attacked over 100 cities and towns.
1368
01:38:59,111 --> 01:39:00,362
How did they get in here? How did they get in here?
1369
01:39:00,863 --> 01:39:02,489
VC sappers blew the wall open.
1370
01:39:03,740 --> 01:39:04,741
That wall?
1371
01:39:05,284 --> 01:39:09,162
Our guys blew that out.After the VC was already in here.
1372
01:39:09,246 --> 01:39:12,207
The military just briefed us.The VC blew it open and piled in.
1373
01:39:12,291 --> 01:39:14,626
Uh, the military must be mistaken.
1374
01:39:15,627 --> 01:39:17,379
-I saw it with my own---
1375
01:39:20,966 --> 01:39:23,385
Oh, God. Please tell mewe didn't drop an atomic bomb.
1376
01:39:24,011 --> 01:39:27,764
No. Someone just blewthe ammo dump at Long Binh.
1377
01:39:29,349 --> 01:39:31,685
-Shit.-Where are you going?
1378
01:39:32,269 --> 01:39:34,688
I got a friend in Long Binh!I got to get over there!
1379
01:39:36,648 --> 01:39:38,525
You don't even know how to get there.
1380
01:39:38,609 --> 01:39:40,194
I'll follow the mushroom cloud!
1381
01:39:41,653 --> 01:39:45,199
Chickie, they're not gonna let you in. All right?
1382
01:39:45,282 --> 01:39:46,742
They will if I'm with you!
1383
01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:51,914
This one's got keys.I'm going. Are you coming?
1384
01:39:56,418 --> 01:40:00,422
Push over. Come on. Push over. Hold that. Push over. Come on. Push over. Hold that.
1385
01:40:10,766 --> 01:40:11,934
I'm telling you,
1386
01:40:12,017 --> 01:40:14,520
I watched one of our tanks pull upand blast a hole in that wall.
1387
01:40:14,603 --> 01:40:15,604
I believe you.
1388
01:40:15,687 --> 01:40:18,190
Well, then why would the military saythat it was the VC?
1389
01:40:19,775 --> 01:40:23,904
There's a lot of wars going on in Vietnam.Most of all, the public relations one.
1390
01:40:24,738 --> 01:40:27,824
The enemy blasting a holein the wall is an easier sell
1391
01:40:27,908 --> 01:40:30,202
than some kind of VC inside job, you know?
1392
01:41:44,276 --> 01:41:46,445
Whoa. Hold it, cowboy. Identification.
1393
01:41:46,528 --> 01:41:49,072
Arthur Coates. Look magazine.
1394
01:41:50,282 --> 01:41:51,783
All right. They're clear.
1395
01:41:59,291 --> 01:42:01,877
Just get anything. Get over here and help. Just get anything. Get over here and help.
1396
01:42:22,981 --> 01:42:24,441
I'm gonna look for my friend!
1397
01:42:25,317 --> 01:42:26,318
Hey.
1398
01:42:28,153 --> 01:42:31,156
Put this around your neck.Anybody asks you, just say you're press.
1399
01:42:42,626 --> 01:42:45,295
-Hey! Bobby Pappas. Uh, you know him?-No.
1400
01:42:45,379 --> 01:42:47,589
-New York kid. New York kid.-No, I'm sorry.
1401
01:42:51,301 --> 01:42:52,928
Do you know where I can find Bobby Pappas?
1402
01:42:53,011 --> 01:42:54,972
No idea, man.A lot of hurt people out here.
1403
01:42:55,472 --> 01:42:58,559
-Well, is there an infirmary somewhere?-Yeah, building 8.
1404
01:43:02,729 --> 01:43:03,730
There you go.
1405
01:43:03,814 --> 01:43:05,524
They're gonna take good care of you.
1406
01:43:29,464 --> 01:43:30,841
What are you doing?
1407
01:43:30,924 --> 01:43:32,634
I'm just looking for a friend.
1408
01:43:32,718 --> 01:43:35,179
-You can't be in here.-It's okay. I'm with the press.
1409
01:43:35,262 --> 01:43:37,306
You think being with the pressmakes it okay?
1410
01:43:37,890 --> 01:43:39,183
Get the hell out of here.
1411
01:43:45,105 --> 01:43:47,065
Come on. Give me a break, please.
1412
01:43:47,774 --> 01:43:49,860
I've come all the way from New Yorkto look for a friend.
1413
01:43:49,943 --> 01:43:51,195
He might have just got killed.
1414
01:43:51,278 --> 01:43:53,280
Just trying to find outif he's alive or not.
1415
01:43:55,782 --> 01:43:56,992
What's his name?
1416
01:44:01,705 --> 01:44:04,458
Bobby! Holy shit. Thank God.
1417
01:44:05,500 --> 01:44:09,963
Really? They had to flattenmy entire base to get you to visit me?
1418
01:44:10,047 --> 01:44:11,882
Goddamn, it's good to see you.
1419
01:44:11,965 --> 01:44:14,468
Heard a rumor you were coming.Bringing beer or some shit.
1420
01:44:14,551 --> 01:44:15,469
Yeah.
1421
01:44:17,679 --> 01:44:19,598
How you doing? You okay?
1422
01:44:21,433 --> 01:44:25,395
I'm still alive. Better than nothing.
1423
01:44:27,814 --> 01:44:30,192
You shouldn't be here, Chick.It's not safe.
1424
01:44:30,275 --> 01:44:33,570
Don't worry, I got a flight out of Bien Hoa tonight.
1425
01:44:33,654 --> 01:44:36,114
I don't got any papers, but I'm sure I can weasel my way on.
1426
01:44:36,198 --> 01:44:39,117
There are no flights out of Bien Hoa.VC torched the place.
1427
01:44:40,035 --> 01:44:41,161
Then where can I fly out?
1428
01:44:41,245 --> 01:44:43,455
You can't. The whole country'sgrounded for commercial air.
1429
01:44:43,539 --> 01:44:45,499
Only military's allowed in and out.
1430
01:44:45,582 --> 01:44:47,251
-For how long?-Who knows?
1431
01:44:51,171 --> 01:44:52,172
Hey.
1432
01:44:54,174 --> 01:44:58,095
It's just a little thank youfrom everybody back home.
1433
01:44:59,847 --> 01:45:00,848
For what? For what?
1434
01:45:02,015 --> 01:45:04,685
For what? F-For this. For all this. F--
1435
01:45:07,563 --> 01:45:09,314
For putting yourself on the line for us.
1436
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:13,902
And a goddamn beer'ssupposed to make it all okay?
1437
01:45:18,657 --> 01:45:19,658
Ah.
1438
01:45:20,617 --> 01:45:25,163
Listen, Chickie, all right.I got a ton of shit to do.
1439
01:45:26,290 --> 01:45:29,543
Okay, we got to find a place for youto lay low before you get yourself killed.
1440
01:45:33,964 --> 01:45:35,591
Do the phones still work around here?
1441
01:45:35,674 --> 01:45:38,093
Okay. Can you just say that for meone more time?
1442
01:45:40,053 --> 01:45:42,890
Tan Son Nhut.
1443
01:45:43,807 --> 01:45:48,353
Okay, great. Thanks.Yeah, I will be there. Thank you.
1444
01:45:49,563 --> 01:45:52,149
Is there any way that you canget me a ride to Tan Son Nhut?
1445
01:45:52,232 --> 01:45:53,066
Why?
1446
01:45:53,150 --> 01:45:55,319
Because I got a connection there, and he can help me out.
1447
01:45:59,656 --> 01:46:01,533
-Yeah, sure.-Thanks. -Yeah, sure.-Thanks.
1448
01:46:02,242 --> 01:46:04,328
Commander General William Westmoreland
1449
01:46:04,411 --> 01:46:07,414
described the embassy attackas a Viet Cong defeat.
1450
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:12,419
In my opinion, this is diversionary, uh, to his, uh, main efforts,
1451
01:46:12,502 --> 01:46:16,757
which, uh, he had plannedto take place in Quang Tri province.
1452
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:17,966
"Diversionary"?
1453
01:46:19,051 --> 01:46:21,762
They didn't just attack the embassy, they attacked the whole damn city!
1454
01:46:24,181 --> 01:46:25,557
"Diversionary."
1455
01:46:25,641 --> 01:46:27,976
Chickie. Come on. Let's go.
1456
01:46:44,743 --> 01:46:47,079
-Hey, let's go.-What?
1457
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:50,123
-I got us a way out.-A way out of where?
1458
01:46:50,207 --> 01:46:52,918
Vietnam. I called a friend.He's pulling some strings for us.
1459
01:46:53,418 --> 01:46:55,003
I don't need to get out of Vietnam.
1460
01:46:55,671 --> 01:46:57,631
What? What are you talking about?
1461
01:46:58,674 --> 01:47:00,342
I'm a war correspondent, Chick. I'm a war correspondent, Chick.
1462
01:47:01,593 --> 01:47:04,721
This is a war. Somebody's got to be hereto see what's going on.
1463
01:47:04,805 --> 01:47:07,850
Well, yeah. I get that. I get that, but this is just for a few days.
1464
01:47:07,933 --> 01:47:10,602
You can come backas soon as things cool down.
1465
01:47:10,686 --> 01:47:12,062
Chickie, let's go.
1466
01:47:12,855 --> 01:47:15,649
Don't be dumb, Arthur.This ain't a war no more.
1467
01:47:17,025 --> 01:47:18,151
It's mass murder.
1468
01:47:20,362 --> 01:47:24,408
That's what war is, Chick.It's one giant crime scene.
1469
01:47:25,158 --> 01:47:28,871
Come on, Chickie. Let's go.I got to get back here. I got a job to do.
1470
01:47:39,965 --> 01:47:41,925
Hey, take care of yourself.
1471
01:47:42,843 --> 01:47:43,969
You too, Arthur.
1472
01:47:46,138 --> 01:47:48,390
Hey, when you get home, do me a favor.
1473
01:47:50,434 --> 01:47:51,602
Take a bath.
1474
01:48:18,170 --> 01:48:20,839
This will get you to Manila, sir.Then you're on your own.
1475
01:48:21,340 --> 01:48:23,467
Thanks, Habershaw.This is most appreciated.
1476
01:48:23,550 --> 01:48:26,678
Well, we're all on the same team.At least, I'd like to be.
1477
01:48:26,762 --> 01:48:29,181
Uh, I hope you'll let Langley know about this.
1478
01:48:29,264 --> 01:48:30,724
-Langley?-Headquarters.
1479
01:48:31,433 --> 01:48:35,145
Right. Right, I will.Actually, I'm gonna write him a letter.
1480
01:48:35,229 --> 01:48:38,357
Thank you. Thank you so much.
1481
01:48:49,993 --> 01:48:54,206
Look, Habershaw, um, I got to come clean.
1482
01:48:56,208 --> 01:48:57,417
I'm not CIA.
1483
01:48:58,293 --> 01:48:59,336
Yeah, right.
1484
01:48:59,419 --> 01:49:01,421
No, really. I'm not. No, really. I'm not.
1485
01:49:03,048 --> 01:49:04,049
You're not?
1486
01:49:05,217 --> 01:49:06,218
No.
1487
01:49:07,344 --> 01:49:08,345
So…
1488
01:49:10,556 --> 01:49:12,599
What are you?
1489
01:49:15,978 --> 01:49:16,979
I'm nothing.
1490
01:49:25,821 --> 01:49:27,781
You guys are the fucking best.
1491
01:49:41,044 --> 01:49:42,504
I don't even want to know.
1492
01:49:45,716 --> 01:49:48,760
Thanks, Pappy. I appreciateyou taking care of me out here.
1493
01:49:49,803 --> 01:49:52,598
-I'll see you back in the neighborhood.-Yeah, of course.
1494
01:49:52,681 --> 01:49:55,976
You got a good heart, Chickie.It's your brain that I'm worried about.
1495
01:49:59,271 --> 01:50:01,106
This life's just a crapshoot, huh? This life's just a crapshoot, huh?
1496
01:50:01,857 --> 01:50:05,194
And assholes like you and me live, while Reynolds and Minogue die.
1497
01:50:05,277 --> 01:50:07,988
Mate, Tommy could still turn up.
1498
01:50:11,033 --> 01:50:12,659
He's-- He's gone, Chick.
1499
01:50:15,078 --> 01:50:17,414
Tommy, they-- they found him.
1500
01:50:27,174 --> 01:50:28,342
You sure?
1501
01:50:30,886 --> 01:50:32,012
Yeah.
1502
01:51:46,587 --> 01:51:49,965
No way! Chickie!
1503
01:51:51,633 --> 01:51:54,052
Get your ass over here.
1504
01:52:01,727 --> 01:52:03,604
Hey.
1505
01:52:05,731 --> 01:52:07,441
Hey, look who it is.
1506
01:52:08,025 --> 01:52:09,026
-Chickie?-Chickie!
1507
01:52:09,109 --> 01:52:12,404
-Hey.-Son of a bitch, he lives.
1508
01:52:13,030 --> 01:52:16,033
-He came back to settle his tab.-No.
1509
01:52:16,617 --> 01:52:18,785
So how was the trip?You must have had a ball.
1510
01:52:18,869 --> 01:52:21,705
A ball? He was in a war, for Chrissake.It must have been hell.
1511
01:52:21,788 --> 01:52:23,790
Uh-- Yeah. I mean, it must have been hell.
1512
01:52:23,874 --> 01:52:26,835
And if you ever want to talk about it, ever, I'm here for you.
1513
01:52:26,919 --> 01:52:28,378
And if you don't, I won't.
1514
01:52:28,462 --> 01:52:31,006
Jesus Christ.You flip-flopping son of a bitch.
1515
01:52:32,591 --> 01:52:34,092
-I missed you.-
1516
01:52:34,718 --> 01:52:37,554
You, um-- You hear about Tommy?
1517
01:52:41,141 --> 01:52:42,559
The kid died a hero.
1518
01:52:45,604 --> 01:52:47,189
So how was it, Chick? Really.
1519
01:52:48,023 --> 01:52:49,858
Yeah, are we kicking ass and taking names?
1520
01:52:49,942 --> 01:52:50,943
No.
1521
01:52:52,569 --> 01:52:56,156
What? Well, what do you mean?
1522
01:52:56,240 --> 01:52:58,825
I mean, it's tough to make senseof anything over there.
1523
01:52:58,909 --> 01:53:02,120
Well, that's what war is.It's a-a messy business. Well, that's what war is.It's a-a messy business.
1524
01:53:02,204 --> 01:53:07,459
Yeah. Yeah, but Colonel, all due respect……this is different.
1525
01:53:08,794 --> 01:53:09,795
It's…
1526
01:53:12,464 --> 01:53:13,674
It's chaotic.
1527
01:53:14,258 --> 01:53:16,260
They all are. But it's a controlled chaos.
1528
01:53:16,343 --> 01:53:20,013
Not this time.The chaos over there isn't under control.
1529
01:53:20,514 --> 01:53:22,474
It's not under control at all.
1530
01:53:24,768 --> 01:53:27,855
Look, I know our granddads and our dads,
1531
01:53:29,523 --> 01:53:31,733
they went over to Europeto save the world.
1532
01:53:32,860 --> 01:53:36,864
And-- And I would put today's guysup there with them any day.
1533
01:53:38,699 --> 01:53:39,867
And I mean any day.
1534
01:53:42,286 --> 01:53:46,999
But I-- I'm not so surewe're saving the world this time.
1535
01:53:53,630 --> 01:54:00,012
Well, right or wrong, it sounds like you need a drink. Well, right or wrong, it sounds like you need a drink.
1536
01:54:01,555 --> 01:54:04,141
Chickie, grab a stool. First one's on me.
1537
01:54:04,224 --> 01:54:06,059
-Maybe the first couple.-
1538
01:54:06,143 --> 01:54:10,564
Thanks. But I got to go do something first.
1539
01:54:30,876 --> 01:54:31,877
Chickie.
1540
01:54:37,132 --> 01:54:39,593
I'm sorry I couldn'tget these to him, Mrs. Minogue.
1541
01:54:45,057 --> 01:54:46,642
-It's okay.-
1542
01:54:49,853 --> 01:54:52,189
I'm proud of youfor going over there, Chickie.
1543
01:54:53,732 --> 01:54:55,400
No one else would do that.
1544
01:54:55,984 --> 01:54:57,819
It was pointless.
1545
01:55:00,739 --> 01:55:01,990
It didn't help no one.
1546
01:55:04,409 --> 01:55:07,871
It helped us. Everyone in Inwood.
1547
01:55:14,336 --> 01:55:18,173
It felt good knowing that someonewas over there, checking on our boys.
1548
01:55:20,759 --> 01:55:21,760
Take these.
1549
01:55:23,053 --> 01:55:24,763
Tommy would want you to have them.
1550
01:55:27,474 --> 01:55:28,475
No.
1551
01:55:33,230 --> 01:55:35,232
I'm the one who talked Tommy into going.
1552
01:55:36,984 --> 01:55:39,361
What? N-No, he wanted to go.
1553
01:55:39,444 --> 01:55:40,904
No, he didn't.
1554
01:55:44,283 --> 01:55:46,702
I knew Tommy was scared. Everyone knew.
1555
01:55:49,329 --> 01:55:51,456
So, I talked him into it.
1556
01:55:56,587 --> 01:55:59,756
I don't know why.I didn't want him to be afraid.
1557
01:56:05,554 --> 01:56:08,557
But I should have let him be afraid.
1558
01:56:10,184 --> 01:56:13,353
I should have let him listen to himself
1559
01:56:13,437 --> 01:56:14,980
instead of listening to me.
1560
01:56:30,829 --> 01:56:32,706
I'm sorry.
1561
01:57:02,903 --> 01:57:04,863
-Yeah, I think so.-I can--
1562
01:57:04,947 --> 01:57:06,114
Guys.
1563
01:57:12,204 --> 01:57:13,205
Hey.
1564
01:57:15,123 --> 01:57:16,124
Hey.
1565
01:57:18,502 --> 01:57:20,128
Do you know what you've put us through?
1566
01:57:21,296 --> 01:57:23,924
We've been worried sick.Don't ever do something like that again.
1567
01:57:25,634 --> 01:57:26,635
I won't.
1568
01:57:28,971 --> 01:57:30,681
So did you give them their stupid beers,
1569
01:57:30,764 --> 01:57:32,724
or did you drink 'em allbefore you got there?
1570
01:57:34,977 --> 01:57:36,478
They got the stupid beers.
1571
01:57:39,147 --> 01:57:41,942
Well, I'm sure it meant a lot to them.
1572
01:57:46,405 --> 01:57:47,406
You okay?
1573
01:57:49,825 --> 01:57:51,410
Got to change a few things up.
1574
01:57:52,286 --> 01:57:53,495
Such as?
1575
01:58:00,085 --> 01:58:03,547
A little less drinking.A little more thinking.
1576
01:58:19,938 --> 01:58:21,523
You really gonna quit drinking?
1577
01:58:22,858 --> 01:58:24,651
I said "less drinking".
1578
01:58:31,783 --> 01:58:33,327
I saved the last one for you.
