1
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:26,359
Hey!
2
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:23,203
"Ma chère tante,
3
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:25,455
"These men want their country back.
4
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:27,374
"But what they need is to be recognized,
5
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:30,168
to be remembered,
to be the men they once were."
6
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:34,589
And you, old friend,
what is it that you need now?
7
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:39,219
I need-- We need to save
our friend, Bon, from us,
8
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:41,304
from the guns and swords of our side.
9
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:55,545
To the Republic,
we will be always true!
10
00:05:01,551 --> 00:05:03,386
Stirring speech, sir.
11
00:05:04,471 --> 00:05:06,181
I've been further considering
our predicament
12
00:05:06,181 --> 00:05:07,932
with this troublesome newsman.
13
00:05:07,932 --> 00:05:09,893
Well, that much is clear, sir.
14
00:05:09,893 --> 00:05:11,811
Perhaps you ought to brief the men.
15
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:13,104
Provide them with a cover story.
16
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:17,067
If that subversive comes fishing
for his leftist propaganda rag,
17
00:05:17,067 --> 00:05:18,902
then our men need only tell him the truth.
18
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:20,779
And which truth is that, sir?
19
00:05:20,779 --> 00:05:23,114
That this is a charitable organization.
20
00:05:24,366 --> 00:05:28,244
And a legally registered nonprofit,
no less.
21
00:05:28,244 --> 00:05:30,205
"The Benevolent Fraternity
22
00:05:30,205 --> 00:05:33,416
of Former Soldiers of the Army
of the Republic of Vietnam."
23
00:05:36,795 --> 00:05:37,796
We are?
24
00:05:39,381 --> 00:05:41,758
And what is our charitable cause?
25
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:44,427
Humanitarian aid
for all the poor Vietnamese
26
00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:46,471
still oppressed by the commies.
27
00:05:47,263 --> 00:05:50,475
It's all legitimate, on the books.
28
00:05:50,725 --> 00:05:53,770
This is how we receive
tax-deductible donations
29
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:56,356
from certain generous friends.
30
00:05:59,693 --> 00:06:03,571
Whoever these friends are,
they must be very generous indeed.
31
00:06:54,622 --> 00:06:56,583
- Chinese laundry's next door.
- No, I'm--
32
00:06:56,583 --> 00:06:58,752
Oh, I'll be damned.
33
00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:02,005
I thought you got blown up.
34
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:08,428
You know, of course,
I don't partake myself,
35
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:12,849
but I just like to have somethin' on hand
for my constituents.
36
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:17,687
What can this humble
representative do for ya?
37
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:23,651
I was rather wondering
what I could do for you, Congressman.
38
00:07:24,903 --> 00:07:27,113
I was so taken by your speech
at the party, I--
39
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:28,740
Meant every word, kid.
40
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:32,786
You know, I'm makin'
a long-term investment in your community.
41
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:34,662
Sure, you're not voters yet
42
00:07:34,662 --> 00:07:37,123
but your children, their children.
43
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:41,378
So, you see, I've located
great value in you people.
44
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:45,048
And I value that you value us.
45
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,176
So, whatever I might do to be of value,
46
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:50,679
- offer it to the campaign--
- That's a great idea.
47
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:53,765
I'd be delighted
to have an ethnic on the trail.
48
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:59,062
Do you have skills
other than being Vietnamese?
49
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:05,902
I know when to talk
and I know when to shut up.
50
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:12,158
Do you know when to play deaf?
51
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:16,705
That motherfucker
just won't fucking listen.
52
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:20,208
A touch higher! Fucking white trash.
53
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:27,465
Shoot. That is totally not like me.
54
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:29,843
I didn't catch what you said, madam.
55
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:33,430
- Ned sent you?
- Yes, yes, he did.
56
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:35,432
Now you must let me guess.
57
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:38,643
Vietnamese?
58
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:40,770
Only my better half.
59
00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:44,649
No, no. If there is one thing I learned,
60
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:47,902
it's that here in America,
race is all or nothing.
61
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,702
Maria, tell the kids
62
00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,954
- to turn off that hippie shit.
- Sí, señora.
63
00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:00,707
I won't allow it in my house.
64
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:03,626
It's a slippery slope to socialism.
65
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:06,046
This music is my life!
66
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:09,549
Tom Collins? Of course,
I don't usually partake myself.
67
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:11,301
Please.
68
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:14,721
Help yourself if you don't mind.
I've got some things to take care of here.
69
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:28,943
Donors, donors.
70
00:09:28,943 --> 00:09:32,197
I do my best to memorize them,
but I just can't.
71
00:09:33,323 --> 00:09:37,035
I could whisper their names for you,
when you're greeting them.
72
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:39,788
That's how I did it for the General
back in Saigon.
73
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:41,331
I can be very discreet.
74
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:45,877
No can do.
Ned says I'm not to show this to anyone.
75
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:49,047
- Of course.
- I simply can't wrap my head around
76
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:52,884
what politicians can and cannot do
with their money in this country.
77
00:09:52,884 --> 00:09:57,889
What in Cuba we called electioneering,
here you call election fraud.
78
00:09:58,306 --> 00:10:00,475
Well, at least our restrictive
campaign laws
79
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:03,520
can't prevent civically-minded
individuals like yourselves
80
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,815
from donating to a worthy cause.
81
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:10,235
Oh, you're speaking of
your General's Benevolent Fraternity?
82
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:12,529
So you know.
83
00:10:12,529 --> 00:10:14,739
Ned said it's all in the books.
84
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:19,285
What kinda books?
85
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:22,330
You know what kind.
86
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:32,757
Ah, fuck it. Just a tipple.
87
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:35,635
I'm with company, after all.
88
00:10:39,014 --> 00:10:41,474
So, what were we talking about?
89
00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:48,815
What's gotten into you, coming here
wasted when the sun's still up?
90
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:52,402
It's almost down.
And who says I'm wasted?
91
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,530
Right there.
92
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,991
You can see his pad from here.
93
00:10:59,409 --> 00:11:04,039
You fantasized about killing Nicos,
didn't you?
94
00:11:05,915 --> 00:11:07,208
Admit it.
95
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:10,754
What about now?
96
00:11:10,754 --> 00:11:13,214
Hey, we all fantasize
about killing people.
97
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:15,300
Just as a passing thought.
98
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:20,972
Like, "Oh, what if I...
99
00:11:21,973 --> 00:11:24,517
ran over that asshole with my car?"
100
00:11:25,977 --> 00:11:30,065
Or at least we fantasize
what it'd be like if someone were dead.
101
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:32,942
Sure, like some motherfucker
who'd write me off as a bastard
102
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:34,277
and steal my girlfriend.
103
00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:39,366
Sounds like you got
someone specific in mind.
104
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,410
Come on, you bought that?
105
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:44,788
It sounds pretty specific.
106
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:58,945
So, when do they give you the Pulitzer?
107
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,572
Did the General send you to shake me down?
108
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:03,783
Why don't we go outside and talk?
109
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:06,286
Sorry, can't. I just placed an order.
110
00:13:06,286 --> 00:13:08,538
Well, have it to-go.
We can talk in the car.
111
00:13:08,538 --> 00:13:10,206
Chaps sitting at the table next to me
112
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:13,960
were just remarking that
you need to have pho in situ,
113
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,838
at the restaurant, to truly appreciate it.
114
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:21,551
Apparently, it's not the same
out on the training grounds.
115
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:27,891
Actually, I just wanted to offer you
some constructive criticism
116
00:13:27,891 --> 00:13:29,934
as an invested reader.
117
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:34,689
You never could keep
your literary opinions to yourself.
118
00:13:35,357 --> 00:13:37,984
Well, spit it out.
No one here speaks English.
119
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:49,412
If I were you, I'd trace the money.
120
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,011
Why are we surprised?
This is the Vietnamese joint, after all.
121
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,060
Your soup should be here any minute.
122
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:15,146
Time doesn't matter to her.
Not when it comes to cigarettes.
123
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:19,442
Let's go outside.
124
00:14:19,442 --> 00:14:21,861
Wait, what is this?
125
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:27,283
If you don't return
by the time I'm down to the butt,
126
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:29,160
I am coming to rescue you, darling.
127
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,497
No, no, it's men's business.
Be right back.
128
00:14:38,003 --> 00:14:39,629
Is it safe here?
129
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:42,173
What if one of the General's men sees us?
130
00:14:42,173 --> 00:14:45,260
Officially, I'm questioning
who your informant is.
131
00:14:45,844 --> 00:14:48,471
That's a good cover.
132
00:14:49,014 --> 00:14:50,849
You could be a spy.
133
00:14:59,441 --> 00:15:00,859
Why'd you tip me off?
134
00:15:00,859 --> 00:15:02,277
You're the General's man.
135
00:15:02,277 --> 00:15:04,571
'Cause we've got something in common.
136
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:11,828
What's Sofia got to do with this?
137
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:13,788
No, leave her the fuck outta this.
138
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:18,543
I'm trying to say that we don't want
any more of our people to die for nothing.
139
00:15:24,049 --> 00:15:25,884
You said to follow the money.
140
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:29,429
- Is there a paper trail?
- I can try to get you one.
141
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:32,515
Get one, by any means necessary.
142
00:15:33,475 --> 00:15:34,851
I've got a friend at the LA Times.
143
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:38,188
I can make sure everyone in America
reads this story.
144
00:15:58,124 --> 00:16:00,126
Is he looking?
145
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:02,128
Oh shit, he's right behind us.
146
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:22,524
Don't forget we need enough time
to shape them into soldiers again!
147
00:16:22,524 --> 00:16:24,901
Oh, thank you for getting me up to speed!
148
00:16:24,901 --> 00:16:28,947
You forget yourself, General.
Here's how this relationship works.
149
00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:34,077
For future reference, I say, "Eat shit,"
you grab a goddamn fork and knife.
150
00:16:34,536 --> 00:16:36,746
This fuckin' reporter's
changed everything.
151
00:16:36,746 --> 00:16:38,540
Our investors are freaking out.
152
00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:42,210
Get a grip on yourself.
Fucking jagoff.
153
00:16:48,883 --> 00:16:50,844
Don't come back here. I remember.
154
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:53,304
- I remember your stupid faces.
- Easy, man. Easy.
155
00:16:53,304 --> 00:16:55,223
Motherfucker!
156
00:18:44,416 --> 00:18:46,543
What's goin' on in here?
157
00:18:47,168 --> 00:18:50,380
You put him on recon detail, huh?
158
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:51,840
This fucking idiot?
159
00:19:01,725 --> 00:19:03,560
Get the car.
160
00:19:17,949 --> 00:19:19,951
Where are we going, sir?
161
00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:23,747
Drive. Don't talk.
162
00:20:27,769 --> 00:20:29,729
You think Sonny's a threat?
163
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,900
- Potentially.
- He makes our investors nervous.
164
00:20:35,443 --> 00:20:37,570
I'll leave it in your hands.
165
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:42,617
Strip.
166
00:20:44,953 --> 00:20:47,580
- Sir?
- I said strip.
167
00:20:56,506 --> 00:20:59,968
It's good for arthritis, skin infections,
168
00:21:01,177 --> 00:21:03,054
sore muscles.
169
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:06,766
Not to mention blood circulation.
170
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:08,893
It smells.
171
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:10,854
Ah, the sulfur.
172
00:21:10,854 --> 00:21:14,065
Tend to smell like rotten eggs.
173
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,903
Breathe it in. It's good for you.
174
00:21:24,993 --> 00:21:28,163
- You're wondering how I lost them.
- No, sir.
175
00:21:28,163 --> 00:21:30,665
I never told you the story
of how I made it through
176
00:21:30,665 --> 00:21:34,127
nine months in the communist
prison camp, did I?
177
00:21:35,170 --> 00:21:39,007
- No, sir?
- Well, no need for graphic details.
178
00:21:39,924 --> 00:21:43,553
Suffice to say, it was not all at once.
179
00:21:45,221 --> 00:21:47,807
The pinky toe, it was infected.
180
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:49,392
I had bad boots.
181
00:21:50,143 --> 00:21:55,106
And the next one
were electrocuted under torture
182
00:21:55,106 --> 00:21:58,193
until all the nerves were dead.
183
00:21:59,569 --> 00:22:01,112
And the rats snapped 'em off.
184
00:22:02,364 --> 00:22:03,740
Just for somethin' to chew.
185
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:05,867
Is it my toes?
186
00:22:07,577 --> 00:22:09,412
The smell?
187
00:22:11,790 --> 00:22:15,627
It's a sin to waste food. Swallow it.
188
00:22:23,385 --> 00:22:24,636
Well done, Captain.
189
00:22:25,387 --> 00:22:26,846
Thank you, sir.
190
00:22:28,682 --> 00:22:32,310
The cold, the vermin, that was nothing.
191
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:35,021
I knew that whatever I lost in there,
192
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:38,692
I had to get out of that camp
with my mind intact.
193
00:22:39,484 --> 00:22:42,946
For her. My little girl.
194
00:22:45,573 --> 00:22:49,160
I lost everything to this country.
195
00:22:50,161 --> 00:22:55,375
America, they eat your heart,
then complain about indigestion.
196
00:22:57,419 --> 00:22:59,629
And now they have Lana too.
197
00:23:02,632 --> 00:23:04,843
But I'll get her back.
198
00:23:05,844 --> 00:23:08,263
I'll get everything back.
199
00:23:14,811 --> 00:23:18,106
- Put me on the mission too.
- No.
200
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:20,191
No, out of the question.
201
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:24,112
You'd be more useful here
working with me
202
00:23:24,112 --> 00:23:26,823
on the planning and logistics.
203
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:29,492
I need you, my boy.
204
00:23:30,577 --> 00:23:32,454
You are the only one I can trust.
205
00:23:32,454 --> 00:23:36,166
Please, sir.
Bon's lost so much already.
206
00:23:36,958 --> 00:23:38,877
He made his choice.
207
00:23:39,544 --> 00:23:43,548
A choice only granted to someone
who has lost so much already.
208
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:47,385
Don't stand in his path.
209
00:23:56,644 --> 00:23:59,064
"Bon volunteered to join the mission.
210
00:23:59,064 --> 00:24:01,107
I beg your leave to end my mission here
211
00:24:01,107 --> 00:24:02,817
and return to Vietnam."
212
00:24:04,527 --> 00:24:06,321
So you think you can save Bon?
213
00:24:06,321 --> 00:24:08,073
And what makes you think that?
214
00:24:08,073 --> 00:24:12,077
There must be some consideration.
Some clemency?
215
00:24:12,077 --> 00:24:14,371
In the event that we're captured,
can't I defend him?
216
00:24:14,371 --> 00:24:16,122
Can you? Why?
217
00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:19,167
Because I'm a hero of the revolution.
218
00:24:22,545 --> 00:24:24,130
I infiltrated the enemy.
219
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:27,258
I worked in their ranks for three years,
enduring risks untold.
220
00:24:27,258 --> 00:24:29,636
The danger of being exposed?
That was nothing.
221
00:24:29,636 --> 00:24:34,099
No, the real danger was the contamination
of one's mind with capitalism,
222
00:24:34,099 --> 00:24:35,600
with Western culture.
223
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,187
The rank and file of the foot soldiers?
They never had to worry about that.
224
00:24:39,187 --> 00:24:41,272
All they had to do was stoke their hatred
of the enemy.
225
00:24:41,272 --> 00:24:42,816
They never feared they might become them.
226
00:24:42,816 --> 00:24:44,526
- Brother--
- No! We win the war,
227
00:24:44,526 --> 00:24:46,152
what do I get in return?
228
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:49,155
Banishment to America.
But I did what you asked of me.
229
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,282
I was tasked to serve
under a pathetic clown.
230
00:24:51,282 --> 00:24:54,160
I even killed for him.
No, for our cause.
231
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,288
Or was it the General's cause?
Or Claude's? Or yours?
232
00:24:57,288 --> 00:24:58,540
I don't even know anymore.
233
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:01,543
You think you'd be better off
if you come here?
234
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:03,878
Think carefully, my friend.
235
00:25:03,878 --> 00:25:07,382
What happens to a mole
that has lived too long in darkness
236
00:25:07,382 --> 00:25:10,385
when it is suddenly thrust into the sun?
237
00:25:10,385 --> 00:25:11,970
It is blinded.
238
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:18,351
No. You are better
suited to the underworld
239
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:20,979
that goes by the name America.
240
00:25:20,979 --> 00:25:23,565
You belong there.
You're American.
241
00:25:24,441 --> 00:25:25,817
Admit it.
242
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:33,199
Yeah, did ya get that?
243
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:37,328
Alright, we got that. Good one.
Thank you, brothers.
244
00:25:37,328 --> 00:25:39,289
- Thank you for your support.
- Of course.
245
00:25:39,289 --> 00:25:42,167
Part of the problem is simply discursive.
246
00:25:42,167 --> 00:25:44,377
We let those unwashed hippies
247
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:47,172
and the Negroes steal the meaning
of the word freedom.
248
00:25:47,172 --> 00:25:49,215
Sure, yeah, yeah...
249
00:25:52,927 --> 00:25:55,013
What's a fuckin' gook doin' here?
250
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:56,264
...basic freedoms.
251
00:25:56,264 --> 00:25:58,266
You know, what I'm sayin' is,
ignorance is not a sin.
252
00:25:58,850 --> 00:26:02,187
They can't sympathize with the communists
all that much.
253
00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:06,232
I hear they killed quite a few of them
in Vietnam.
254
00:26:08,693 --> 00:26:11,738
Rita, what's the occasion?
Havin' a little drinky-poo this afternoon?
255
00:26:12,781 --> 00:26:14,657
Oh, my. I thought it was seltzer.
256
00:26:14,657 --> 00:26:17,118
My fault. I'll get the seltzer.
257
00:26:21,206 --> 00:26:23,166
- There we go.
- Alright.
258
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:25,919
My God, she is just a gem of a woman.
259
00:26:34,094 --> 00:26:34,928
Professor?
260
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:39,766
The quiet Eurasian.
261
00:26:40,266 --> 00:26:42,435
What brings you into my lair?
262
00:26:42,435 --> 00:26:44,896
Well, I might ask you the same question.
263
00:26:44,896 --> 00:26:49,401
Well, as you can see,
I've alighted to greener pastures.
264
00:26:49,984 --> 00:26:54,739
Our beloved Oriental Studies
has at long last been slaughtered
265
00:26:54,739 --> 00:26:57,659
upon the altar of identity politics.
266
00:26:58,993 --> 00:27:01,955
I've been lending the Congressman
my expertise.
267
00:27:01,955 --> 00:27:03,790
Who knew I'd have a knack
for speechwriting?
268
00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:05,083
But I do.
269
00:27:05,583 --> 00:27:07,752
At least there are still those
in public service
270
00:27:07,752 --> 00:27:11,756
who value my insights
into the Oriental Mode of Destruction.
271
00:27:11,756 --> 00:27:14,759
The Oriental Mode of Destruction?
272
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:17,345
Still don't understand why
you're such a fan of that book.
273
00:27:17,345 --> 00:27:18,638
A fan?
274
00:27:18,638 --> 00:27:20,515
- Yeah.
- I admit,
275
00:27:20,515 --> 00:27:22,851
I've been accused
of intellectual narcissism
276
00:27:22,851 --> 00:27:26,104
but I don't think I'm quite that extreme.
277
00:27:29,774 --> 00:27:32,652
One can't write everything one wants
278
00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:35,321
within the inelasticity
of formal scholarship.
279
00:27:36,489 --> 00:27:39,784
- So then you--
- Oh, and you never surmised as much
280
00:27:39,784 --> 00:27:42,203
with that marvelous brain of yours?
281
00:27:43,038 --> 00:27:46,666
R.H. Robert Hammer. Richard Hedd.
282
00:27:50,462 --> 00:27:52,547
Dick Hedd. Pleasure to meet you.
283
00:27:55,216 --> 00:27:58,678
"If the Orient has one inexhaustible
resource, it is people"?
284
00:27:58,678 --> 00:28:00,638
"Life in the Orient
is plentiful and cheap"?
285
00:28:00,638 --> 00:28:02,015
That Dr. Hedd?
286
00:28:02,015 --> 00:28:03,308
How could you?
287
00:28:04,184 --> 00:28:05,435
Oh, dear.
288
00:28:06,269 --> 00:28:08,188
I had such hopes for you.
289
00:28:09,022 --> 00:28:10,648
But there it is,
290
00:28:10,648 --> 00:28:13,443
bubbling under the surface,
that primeval fury,
291
00:28:13,443 --> 00:28:17,739
that irrepressible
Oriental urge to destroy.
292
00:28:18,615 --> 00:28:20,909
My duality is difficult to parse.
293
00:28:20,909 --> 00:28:23,203
Not unlike your Hammer and Hedd.
294
00:28:23,203 --> 00:28:25,622
If one side wins,
then the other side must die.
295
00:28:27,123 --> 00:28:30,919
Alright, settle down.
This is comin' right off the cuff.
296
00:28:30,919 --> 00:28:33,546
- That's right, brother...
- You have such hate for me.
297
00:28:33,546 --> 00:28:36,591
But what was it that
Hesse wrote in "Demian"?
298
00:28:36,591 --> 00:28:39,719
Ah, yes. "If you hate a person,
299
00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:43,014
you hate something in him
that's part of yourself."
300
00:28:44,432 --> 00:28:46,434
Does that resonate?
301
00:28:49,062 --> 00:28:52,273
You know, I admit,
I prepared some remarks,
302
00:28:52,273 --> 00:28:56,528
but we're all military men
here, so, right?
303
00:28:56,528 --> 00:28:59,531
How 'bout I just mix it up
304
00:28:59,531 --> 00:29:02,659
and speak from
the damn heart instead, huh?
305
00:29:07,956 --> 00:29:11,292
I don't need to make big speeches
about what happened in Nam.
306
00:29:11,292 --> 00:29:14,462
You know, brother,
you know, sister, we lost.
307
00:29:14,462 --> 00:29:17,173
It was a failure, a failure of will.
308
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:20,593
A war of obliterations, right?
That's the only kinda war
309
00:29:20,593 --> 00:29:23,221
the Oriental understands and respects.
310
00:29:23,972 --> 00:29:27,976
Yeah. Nota bene. Hiroshima. Nagasaki.
311
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,814
But, well, see, we Americans who respect
the sanctity of human life.
312
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:35,859
We pause before we annihilate our enemies.
313
00:29:35,859 --> 00:29:40,739
And our Oriental enemies,
they read this reluctance as weakness.
314
00:29:40,739 --> 00:29:43,158
See, if the communists in Vietnam
315
00:29:43,158 --> 00:29:45,827
have one inexhaustible resource,
it is people.
316
00:29:46,453 --> 00:29:48,997
Life is plentiful in Vietnam.
317
00:29:48,997 --> 00:29:51,332
Life is cheap to the communists.
318
00:29:51,332 --> 00:29:53,793
The generals who fought
the Japanese in World War II,
319
00:29:53,793 --> 00:29:56,504
you know all too well
the Oriental perspective,
320
00:29:56,504 --> 00:29:59,299
their mode of destruction.
321
00:29:59,674 --> 00:30:02,260
But their voices were muted in this war.
322
00:30:02,260 --> 00:30:06,056
Just look at Cuba, China,
Russia, and, of course, Vietnam.
323
00:30:06,473 --> 00:30:10,185
The flower that disguises
itself as idealism
324
00:30:10,185 --> 00:30:13,104
is being exposed for what it really is:
325
00:30:13,104 --> 00:30:18,485
a corrupt, carnivorous
plant of crowny thorns.
326
00:30:20,987 --> 00:30:23,239
In the battle of ideologies,
327
00:30:23,239 --> 00:30:25,283
communism will always lose.
328
00:30:25,283 --> 00:30:27,702
We must fight for the rights
329
00:30:27,702 --> 00:30:31,081
that our founders fought for
all those centuries ago.
330
00:30:31,081 --> 00:30:32,207
Come on!
331
00:30:32,207 --> 00:30:34,751
- Dignity, justice.
- Dignity, justice.
332
00:30:34,751 --> 00:30:36,670
- Freedom for all.
- Freedom for all!
333
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:39,964
We must not rest until these rights
334
00:30:39,964 --> 00:30:43,343
are possessed by all peoples
of all nations.
335
00:30:43,343 --> 00:30:44,469
All nations!
336
00:30:44,469 --> 00:30:46,096
Yeah!
337
00:31:00,694 --> 00:31:02,153
I thought you went to bed.
338
00:31:02,487 --> 00:31:04,906
Would you like me to take you
to the Congressman?
339
00:31:05,824 --> 00:31:06,825
Please.
340
00:31:06,825 --> 00:31:10,829
He just needs me there so I can
speak Spanish to the fucking valet.
341
00:31:11,413 --> 00:31:13,665
You also here for a drink?
342
00:31:14,582 --> 00:31:17,585
Congressman told me to put these in here.
343
00:31:27,721 --> 00:31:29,889
Ned thinks I don't know his game
344
00:31:30,974 --> 00:31:34,519
throwing these beautiful
young things at me.
345
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:38,273
Like that counterbalances
him bedding every blonde with a pulse.
346
00:31:39,691 --> 00:31:42,402
Then I guess the Congressman
doesn't know his wife very well.
347
00:31:43,987 --> 00:31:45,530
I'm sorry?
348
00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:48,408
Well, such a blatant tactic
would never work.
349
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,455
Not on someone as astute as you.
350
00:32:00,045 --> 00:32:02,047
- Yes.
- Right.
351
00:32:03,131 --> 00:32:04,132
Quite.
352
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:05,800
Okay.
353
00:32:12,849 --> 00:32:15,018
- Hello?
- I've got the money trail.
354
00:32:15,018 --> 00:32:17,604
Tomorrow. Noon. Where?
355
00:32:17,604 --> 00:32:18,730
My place.
356
00:32:22,859 --> 00:32:23,943
No Sofia?
357
00:32:24,778 --> 00:32:26,196
No Sofia.
358
00:32:27,155 --> 00:32:28,948
- Hey.
- Hey.
359
00:33:33,513 --> 00:33:37,517
The money.
Napalm Ned and the CIA.
360
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,730
Holy shit.
361
00:33:44,315 --> 00:33:45,525
Holy shit.
362
00:33:47,277 --> 00:33:49,946
Send them to your contact at the LA Times.
363
00:33:50,196 --> 00:33:52,198
Yeah, right.
364
00:33:52,991 --> 00:33:54,993
And if I were you,
I wouldn't disclose your informant.
365
00:33:55,410 --> 00:33:58,455
You'll get the CIA on your case,
and then it's only a matter of time
366
00:33:58,455 --> 00:34:00,749
before it reaches the General's ears.
367
00:34:03,418 --> 00:34:07,422
Sure, the scale of this,
well, it's bigger...
368
00:34:08,256 --> 00:34:09,215
a lot bigger.
369
00:34:09,215 --> 00:34:13,386
And I do try not to actively
invite assassination.
370
00:34:18,308 --> 00:34:22,479
Listen, we never did have the talk
we should've had about Sofia.
371
00:34:22,479 --> 00:34:24,272
I apologize for that.
372
00:34:25,857 --> 00:34:28,485
Honestly, Sonny, I don't care about Sofia.
373
00:34:29,694 --> 00:34:33,114
I'm being a bad host.
Haven't even offered you a drink.
374
00:34:33,114 --> 00:34:34,616
How 'bout it?
375
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,826
Yeah, sure.
376
00:34:40,121 --> 00:34:42,749
- Hey, can I turn that up?
- Sure.
377
00:34:43,249 --> 00:34:46,336
...Draconian measures
to reshape Cambodian society
378
00:34:46,336 --> 00:34:48,296
in accordance with his vision.
379
00:34:48,296 --> 00:34:51,675
Despite public diplomatic
exchanges of solidarity,
380
00:34:51,675 --> 00:34:53,927
- friction simmers beneath the surface...
- Hear that?
381
00:34:53,927 --> 00:34:55,595
...between Cambodia and its neighbor...
382
00:34:55,595 --> 00:34:57,972
After all the Cambodian
attacks on our border towns,
383
00:34:57,972 --> 00:35:00,308
we're now raiding Cambodia.
384
00:35:01,184 --> 00:35:03,645
You think we had enough
of war that we wouldn't want another one.
385
00:35:03,645 --> 00:35:06,773
I'm sick and tired of talkin'
about politics, Sonny.
386
00:35:06,773 --> 00:35:08,858
You were the one that turned it up.
387
00:35:20,662 --> 00:35:25,333
That's it. I swear not to talk
any more politics today.
388
00:35:25,333 --> 00:35:29,379
You know, I confess, I don't really know
what to talk about besides politics.
389
00:35:29,379 --> 00:35:33,383
Most people can't stand it, but Sofia can.
390
00:35:33,883 --> 00:35:36,845
- That's love.
- So you're in love with her?
391
00:35:36,845 --> 00:35:39,347
You weren't in love with her, were you?
392
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:44,060
You know, it-- I understand.
393
00:35:44,060 --> 00:35:47,605
Losing her, it hurts.
It's very painful.
394
00:35:47,605 --> 00:35:51,484
Even if you didn't love her,
that's human nature, right?
395
00:35:51,484 --> 00:35:55,155
But, try to see it from my point of view.
396
00:35:55,155 --> 00:35:58,616
It's just that when we started talking
at that poor major's
397
00:35:58,616 --> 00:36:01,911
mother's longevity party,
we couldn't stop.
398
00:36:02,746 --> 00:36:04,164
That's love.
399
00:36:05,457 --> 00:36:06,708
Let me ask you something.
400
00:36:06,708 --> 00:36:10,378
If it's not about Sofia,
why do you hate me so damn much?
401
00:36:10,378 --> 00:36:11,838
Who says I hate you?
402
00:36:12,547 --> 00:36:14,424
Then what? You envy me?
403
00:36:15,592 --> 00:36:17,218
I don't know, Sonny.
404
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,346
Perhaps it's because you seem
405
00:36:20,221 --> 00:36:21,639
unburdened.
406
00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:25,477
Because you simply picked a side
and then you lived with the consequences.
407
00:36:31,858 --> 00:36:34,277
- I have something to confess to you.
- So, you do love her.
408
00:36:34,277 --> 00:36:35,278
Just get it out.
409
00:36:35,278 --> 00:36:37,489
No, I already told you
I'm not here for Sofia.
410
00:36:38,073 --> 00:36:41,659
I asked you before
if you were a communist
411
00:36:41,659 --> 00:36:44,204
and you said
you wouldn't tell me if you were.
412
00:36:44,204 --> 00:36:45,997
But what if I told you that I...
413
00:36:46,956 --> 00:36:49,125
was a communist?
414
00:36:49,125 --> 00:36:50,919
What's the point of playing such a game?
415
00:36:50,919 --> 00:36:53,254
It's not a game.
I am a communist.
416
00:36:54,381 --> 00:36:57,634
I've been an agent for years,
for the revolution.
417
00:36:57,634 --> 00:37:00,845
I infiltrated the Secret Police
and sent intelligence back to Hanoi.
418
00:37:00,845 --> 00:37:03,390
Even now,
I report on reactionary activities
419
00:37:03,390 --> 00:37:05,433
and do everything I can to undermine them.
420
00:37:05,433 --> 00:37:07,769
In fact, me handing you
these documents now
421
00:37:07,769 --> 00:37:11,481
is part and parcel
of my anti-anti-revolutionary strategy.
422
00:37:17,195 --> 00:37:19,155
You want me to say I'm a communist too.
423
00:37:19,155 --> 00:37:22,826
- I'm being honest for once.
- Did the General put you up to this?
424
00:37:22,826 --> 00:37:27,288
You two are setting me up to report
on some concocted CIA conspiracy
425
00:37:27,288 --> 00:37:30,041
so you can discredit me and my criticism?
426
00:37:30,041 --> 00:37:32,085
That's what you Secret Police do,
isn't it?
427
00:37:32,085 --> 00:37:33,837
How stupid do you think I am?
428
00:37:33,837 --> 00:37:36,548
What, did you think you'd suddenly be
attractive to Sofia again
429
00:37:36,548 --> 00:37:37,799
if you said you were a communist?
430
00:37:37,799 --> 00:37:40,760
I told you, I'm sick and tired
of talking about Sofia.
431
00:37:41,761 --> 00:37:43,263
When? You said that about politics.
432
00:37:43,263 --> 00:37:45,640
You know, for a long time,
I've worn a mask.
433
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,934
I just needed a chance
to safely take it off
434
00:37:47,934 --> 00:37:50,020
at least once,
435
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:51,980
even if it's just for a moment.
436
00:37:54,232 --> 00:37:56,818
And since I've taken that one off,
here's another one.
437
00:38:00,363 --> 00:38:01,781
I killed him.
438
00:38:02,615 --> 00:38:04,325
Major Oanh.
439
00:38:07,245 --> 00:38:08,455
With that toy?
440
00:42:29,174 --> 00:42:31,968
That's it? That's it?
441
00:42:31,968 --> 00:42:33,636
That's all you have to say to me?
442
00:42:33,636 --> 00:42:35,221
Request denied.
443
00:42:35,221 --> 00:42:38,391
And our brother? You'd just let him die?
Should I tell him that?
444
00:42:38,391 --> 00:42:40,643
Tell him that "all for one"
was a bunch of bullshit?
445
00:42:40,643 --> 00:42:42,270
Request denied.
446
00:43:09,714 --> 00:43:12,384
Thank God you picked up.
447
00:43:14,803 --> 00:43:17,806
I am so sorry. Why--
448
00:43:18,181 --> 00:43:20,016
Who could've done
such a horrible thing like--
449
00:43:20,016 --> 00:43:22,227
- We'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
450
00:43:22,227 --> 00:43:24,312
Officers, thank you so much.
451
00:43:35,073 --> 00:43:36,241
I...
452
00:43:38,535 --> 00:43:41,621
I said you were here
the day before yesterday
453
00:43:41,621 --> 00:43:42,789
for an afternoon delight.
454
00:43:42,789 --> 00:43:44,666
That should cover you for a while
455
00:43:45,375 --> 00:43:47,377
even if it makes me a two-timing slut.
456
00:43:51,131 --> 00:43:53,842
These cops are not meatheads.
457
00:43:53,842 --> 00:43:55,593
What do you mean?
458
00:43:55,593 --> 00:43:58,054
It won't be too long
until they identify you as a suspect.
459
00:43:59,139 --> 00:44:03,768
A jilted lover blinded by jealousy?
Is that what you think, too?
460
00:44:04,352 --> 00:44:06,813
Well, then why'd you come up with
an alibi for me?
461
00:44:06,813 --> 00:44:08,898
You don't love me that much.
462
00:44:09,524 --> 00:44:12,527
And even if you did,
you wouldn't kill over it.
463
00:44:14,529 --> 00:44:16,531
Because you're not impulsive.
464
00:44:22,912 --> 00:44:24,164
Indeed.
465
00:44:25,457 --> 00:44:27,042
- Indeed.
- Everyone knows
466
00:44:27,042 --> 00:44:29,627
the General is livid at Sonny.
467
00:44:29,627 --> 00:44:32,922
And everyone knows
you're the General's man.
468
00:44:33,590 --> 00:44:36,301
A man who'd commit a murder
at the General's order?
469
00:44:36,301 --> 00:44:38,386
Is that your theory, too?
470
00:44:40,096 --> 00:44:41,973
Then again, why the alibi?
471
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:43,850
I know.
472
00:44:45,643 --> 00:44:46,644
What?
473
00:44:47,145 --> 00:44:49,939
Sonny told me
that the source who informed him
474
00:44:49,939 --> 00:44:53,234
about the General's mission was you.
475
00:44:54,694 --> 00:44:55,987
You're a spy.
476
00:44:57,947 --> 00:44:59,616
- I'm not.
- And he told me
477
00:44:59,616 --> 00:45:02,452
that you were planning
on meeting him again
478
00:45:03,995 --> 00:45:05,121
at his place
479
00:45:06,164 --> 00:45:08,500
the day before yesterday.
480
00:45:10,418 --> 00:45:11,795
Are you...
481
00:45:15,215 --> 00:45:17,676
thinking of killing me too?
482
00:45:18,385 --> 00:45:20,095
No, Sofia.
483
00:45:21,388 --> 00:45:22,347
No.
484
00:45:31,940 --> 00:45:33,942
How did you become this?
485
00:45:44,035 --> 00:45:47,831
Go. Far away.
486
00:45:49,165 --> 00:45:50,166
Sofia.
487
00:45:52,252 --> 00:45:53,878
Ms. Mori.
488
00:46:00,593 --> 00:46:02,220
Is it raining?
489
00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:04,305
I ran here.
490
00:46:05,098 --> 00:46:07,851
- From where?
- Sawtelle.
491
00:46:09,728 --> 00:46:11,229
Are you crazy?
492
00:46:14,816 --> 00:46:16,443
What's goin' on?
493
00:46:33,168 --> 00:46:35,587
Good night. Take care.
494
00:46:41,968 --> 00:46:43,303
I would like to join the mission.
495
00:46:43,303 --> 00:46:46,639
I feel guilty sitting behind
the safety of a desk.
496
00:46:48,850 --> 00:46:52,312
When an American has an ulterior motive,
497
00:46:52,312 --> 00:46:54,606
he looks you straight in the eye.
498
00:46:55,315 --> 00:46:58,318
I guess you have become fully American.
499
00:48:52,891 --> 00:48:55,518
Flight attendants,
prepare for departure.
500
00:49:53,076 --> 00:49:54,994
Mind if we come along?
