1. Saigon.Copy !req
2. Shit.Copy !req
3. I'm still only in Saigon.Copy !req
4. Every time, I think
I'm gonna wake up back in the jungle.Copy !req
5. When I was home after my first tour,
it was worse.Copy !req
6. I'd wake up, and there'd be nothing.Copy !req
7. I hardly said a word to my wife
until I said yes to a divorce.Copy !req
8. When I was here, I wanted to be there.Copy !req
9. When I was there, all I could think
of was getting back into the jungle.Copy !req
10. I'm here a week now.Copy !req
11. Waiting for a mission.Copy !req
12. Getting softer.Copy !req
13. Every minute I stay in this room,
I get weaker.Copy !req
14. And every minute
Charlie squats in the bush,Copy !req
15. he gets stronger.Copy !req
16. Each time I looked around,
the walls moved in a little tighter.Copy !req
17. Everyone gets everything he wants.Copy !req
18. I wanted a mission.Copy !req
19. And for my sins, they gave me one.Copy !req
20. Brought it up to me like room service.Copy !req
21. Captain Willard, are you in there?Copy !req
22. Yeah, I'm coming.Copy !req
23. It was a real choice mission.Copy !req
24. And when it was over,
I'd never want another.Copy !req
25. - What do you want?
- Are you all right, Captain?Copy !req
26. What does it look like?Copy !req
27. - Are you Captain Willard, 505th Battalion?
- Affirmative.Copy !req
28. - 173rd Airborne?
- Yeah.Copy !req
29. - Assigned to SOG?
- Hey, buddy, you gonna shut the door?Copy !req
30. We have orders
to escort you to the airfield.Copy !req
31. - What are the charges?
- Sir?Copy !req
32. What'd I do?Copy !req
33. There's no charges, Captain.Copy !req
34. You have orders to report
to COMSEC Intelligence at Nha Trang.Copy !req
35. - I see.
- All right?Copy !req
36. - Nha Trang for me?
- That's right.Copy !req
37. Come on, Captain. You still
have a few hours to get cleaned up.Copy !req
38. - I'm not feeling too good.
- Captain?Copy !req
39. Dave, come here and give me a hand.
We got a dead one.Copy !req
40. Come on, Captain. Let's take a shower.Copy !req
41. - Don't be an ass.
- Get hold of him good.Copy !req
42. We're gonna take a shower, Captain.Copy !req
43. - In we go.
- Now stand underneath this, Captain.Copy !req
44. I was going
to the worst place in the worldCopy !req
45. and I didn't even know it yet.Copy !req
46. Weeks away
and hundreds of miles up a riverCopy !req
47. that snaked through the war
like a main circuit cable,Copy !req
48. plugged straight into Kurtz.Copy !req
49. Insult me again
and I'll kick your ass.Copy !req
50. It was no accident
that I got to be the caretakerCopy !req
51. of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz's memoryCopy !req
52. any more than being back
in Saigon was an accident.Copy !req
53. There is no way to tell his
story without telling my own.Copy !req
54. And if his story is really a confession...Copy !req
55. Captain Willard reporting, sir.Copy !req
56. then so is mine.Copy !req
57. - Captain. Good. Come on in.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
58. - Stand at ease.
- General.Copy !req
59. Do you want a cigarette?Copy !req
60. No, thank you, sir.Copy !req
61. Captain, have you ever seen
this gentleman before?Copy !req
62. No, sir.Copy !req
63. - Met the General or myself?
- No, sir.Copy !req
64. Not personally.Copy !req
65. You've worked a lot on your own,
haven't you, Captain?Copy !req
66. Yes, sir, I have.Copy !req
67. Your report specifies Intelligence,Copy !req
68. Counterintelligence with COMSEC, I Corps.Copy !req
69. I'm not presently disposed
to discuss those operations, sir.Copy !req
70. Did you not work for the CIA in I Corps?Copy !req
71. No, sir.Copy !req
72. Did you not
assassinate a government tax collector,Copy !req
73. Quang Tri Province, June 18, 19687Copy !req
74. Captain?Copy !req
75. Sir, I am unaware
of any such activity or operation...Copy !req
76. nor would I be
disposed to discuss such an operationCopy !req
77. if it did, in fact, exist, sir.Copy !req
78. I thought we'd have
a bite of lunch while we talk.Copy !req
79. I hope you brought a good appetite,
Captain.Copy !req
80. I noticed that you have...Copy !req
81. a bad hand, there. Are you wounded?Copy !req
82. I had a little fishing accident
on R&R, sir.Copy !req
83. - Fishing on R&R?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
84. But you're feeling fit?
You're ready for duty?Copy !req
85. Yes, General. Very much so, sir.Copy !req
86. Well, let's see what we have here.Copy !req
87. Roast beef, and usually it's not bad.Copy !req
88. Try some, Jerry, and pass it around.Copy !req
89. To save a little time,
we might pass both ways.Copy !req
90. Captain, I don't know how
you feel about this shrimp,Copy !req
91. but if you'll eat it,Copy !req
92. you'll never have to prove
your courage in any other way.Copy !req
93. Right, well,
why don't I just take a piece here?Copy !req
94. Captain,
you've heard of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz?Copy !req
95. Yes, sir, I've heard the name.Copy !req
96. Jesus.Copy !req
97. Operations officer, Fifth Special Forces.Copy !req
98. Luke, would you play
that tape for the Captain, please?Copy !req
99. - Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
- Listen to this carefully, Captain.Copy !req
100. October 9, 0430 hours,
sector Peter Victor King.Copy !req
101. These were monitored out of Cambodia.Copy !req
102. This has been
verified as Colonel Kurtz's voice.Copy !req
103. I watched a snail...Copy !req
104. crawl along the edge...Copy !req
105. of a straight razor.Copy !req
106. That's my dream.Copy !req
107. It's my nightmare.Copy !req
108. Crawling, slithering...Copy !req
109. along the edge...Copy !req
110. of a straight razor...Copy !req
111. and surviving.Copy !req
112. Transmission 11, received '68,
December 30, 0500 hours.Copy !req
113. Sector King Zulu King.Copy !req
114. But we must kill them.Copy !req
115. We must incinerate them,Copy !req
116. pig after pig...Copy !req
117. cow after cow...Copy !req
118. village after village,Copy !req
119. army after army.Copy !req
120. And they call me an assassin.Copy !req
121. What do you call it when
the assassins accuse the assassin?Copy !req
122. They lie.Copy !req
123. They lie, and we have to be mercifulCopy !req
124. for those who lie.Copy !req
125. Those Nabobs...Copy !req
126. I hate them.Copy !req
127. I do hate them.Copy !req
128. Walt Kurtz
was one of the most outstanding officersCopy !req
129. this country's ever produced.Copy !req
130. He was brilliant.
He was outstanding in every way.Copy !req
131. And he was a good man, too.Copy !req
132. A humanitarian man.Copy !req
133. A man of wit and humor.Copy !req
134. He joined the Special Forces.Copy !req
135. And after that...Copy !req
136. his ideas, methods...Copy !req
137. became...Copy !req
138. unsound.Copy !req
139. Unsound.Copy !req
140. Now he's crossed into Cambodia
with this Montagnard army of hisCopy !req
141. that worship the man like a god.Copy !req
142. And follow every order,
however ridiculous.Copy !req
143. Well, I have some
other shocking news to tell you.Copy !req
144. Colonel Kurtz is about to beCopy !req
145. arrested for murder.Copy !req
146. I don't follow, sir. Murdered who?Copy !req
147. Kurtz had ordered the execution
of some Vietnamese intelligence agents.Copy !req
148. Men he believed were double agents.Copy !req
149. So he took matters into his own hands.Copy !req
150. Well, you see, Willard...Copy !req
151. in this war, things get...Copy !req
152. confused out there.Copy !req
153. Power, ideals, the old morality,Copy !req
154. and practical military necessity.Copy !req
155. But out there with these natives...Copy !req
156. it must be a temptation...Copy !req
157. to be God.Copy !req
158. Because there's
a conflict in every human heart...Copy !req
159. between the rational and the irrational,Copy !req
160. between good and evil.Copy !req
161. And good does not always triumph.Copy !req
162. Sometimes...Copy !req
163. the dark sideCopy !req
164. overcomes what Lincoln called,
"The better angels of our nature.”Copy !req
165. Every man has got a breaking point.Copy !req
166. You and I have them.Copy !req
167. Walt Kurtz has reached his...Copy !req
168. and very obviously he has gone insane.Copy !req
169. Yes, sir. Very much so, sir.
Obviously insane.Copy !req
170. Your mission is to proceed
up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat...Copy !req
171. pick up Colonel
Kurtz's path at Nu Mung Ba,Copy !req
172. follow it,
learn what you can along the way.Copy !req
173. When you find the Colonel,
infiltrate his team byCopy !req
174. whatever means availableCopy !req
175. and terminate the Colonel's command.Copy !req
176. Terminate the Colonel?Copy !req
177. He's out there operating
without any decent restraint,Copy !req
178. totally beyond the pale
of any acceptable human conduct.Copy !req
179. And he is still in the field,
commanding troops.Copy !req
180. Terminate with extreme prejudice.Copy !req
181. You understand, Captain,
that this mission does not exist...Copy !req
182. nor will it ever exist.Copy !req
183. How many
people had I already killed?Copy !req
184. There were those six
that I knew about for sure.Copy !req
185. Close enough to blow
their last breath in my face.Copy !req
186. But this time it was
an American and an officer.Copy !req
187. That wasn't supposed to make
any difference to me, but it did.Copy !req
188. Shit, charging a man
with murder in this placeCopy !req
189. was like handing out
speeding tickets at the Indy 500.Copy !req
190. I took the mission.
What the hell else was [ gonna do?Copy !req
191. But I really didn't know
what I'd do when [ found him.Copy !req
192. Did you check the tank?Copy !req
193. Yeah.Copy !req
194. I was being ferried
down the coast in a Navy PBR.Copy !req
195. A type of plastic patrol boat,
a pretty common sight on the rivers.Copy !req
196. They said it was a good way
to pick up information and moveCopy !req
197. without drawing a lot of attention.Copy !req
198. And that was okay.Copy !req
199. I needed the air and the time.Copy !req
200. Only problem was, I wouldn't be alone.Copy !req
201. Morning, Captain.Copy !req
202. The crew were mostly just kids.Copy !req
203. Rock 'n' rollers
with one foot in their graves.Copy !req
204. - How old are you?
- Seventeen.Copy !req
205. The machinist,
the one they called Chef,Copy !req
206. was from New Orleans.Copy !req
207. He was wrapped too tight for Vietnam.Copy !req
208. Probably wrapped
too tight for New Orleans.Copy !req
209. Lance, on the forward.50s,
was a famous surferCopy !req
210. from the beaches south of LA.Copy !req
211. To look at him, you wouldn't believe
he'd ever fired a weapon in his life.Copy !req
212. Clean, Mr. Clean,
was from some South Bronx shithole,Copy !req
213. and I think the light and space of VietnamCopy !req
214. really put the zap on his head.Copy !req
215. Then there was Phillips, the Chief.Copy !req
216. It might have been my mission,
but it sure as shit was the Chief's boat.Copy !req
217. There's about two points
where we can draw enough waterCopy !req
218. to get into the Nung River.Copy !req
219. They're both hot, belong to Charlie.Copy !req
220. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
221. Don't smoke.Copy !req
222. You know,
I've pulled a few special ops in here.Copy !req
223. About six months ago,Copy !req
224. I took a man who was going up
past the bridge at Do Luong.Copy !req
225. He was regular Army, too.Copy !req
226. I heard he shot himself in the head.Copy !req
227. Good morning, Vietnam.
I'm Army Specialist Zack Johnson on AFVN.Copy !req
228. It's about 82 degrees in downtown
Saigon right now, also very humid.Copy !req
229. And we have an
important message for all GlsCopy !req
230. who are living off base
from the Mayor of Saigon.Copy !req
231. Yeah!Copy !req
232. He'd like you to hang your laundry up
indoors instead of on the windowsills.Copy !req
233. The Mayor wants you
to keep Saigon beautiful.Copy !req
234. And now, here's another blast
from the past going out to big SamCopy !req
235. who's all alone out there with
the First Battalion, 35th Infantry,Copy !req
236. and dedicated by the fire team
at An Khe to their groovy CO...Copy !req
237. - The Rolling Stones, "Satisfaction.”
- Ooh! All right!Copy !req
238. Work out, Clean!Copy !req
239. Get down, Bubbal!Copy !req
240. Hang on, Lance!Copy !req
241. Get down, Bubbal!Copy !req
242. Yeah!Copy !req
243. Can you get it, Lance? Can you get it?Copy !req
244. I see you is right on target.Copy !req
245. Work out! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Copy !req
246. All right!Copy !req
247. Look out, Lance!Copy !req
248. Sayonara!Copy !req
249. At first, I thought
they handed me the wrong dossier.Copy !req
250. I couldn't believe
they wanted this man dead.Copy !req
251. Third-generation West Point,
top of his class,Copy !req
252. Korea, Airborne, about 1,000 decorations,
et cetera, et cetera.Copy !req
253. I had heard his voice on the tape
and it really put the hook in me,Copy !req
254. but I couldn't connect up
that voice with this man.Copy !req
255. Like they said,
he had an impressive career.Copy !req
256. Maybe too impressive.Copy !req
257. I mean, perfect.Copy !req
258. He was being groomed for one
of the top slots in the corporation,Copy !req
259. General, Chief of Staff, anything.Copy !req
260. In 1964, he returned from a tour
with advisory command in VietnamCopy !req
261. and things started to slip.Copy !req
262. His report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and Lyndon Johnson was restricted.Copy !req
263. Seems they didn't dig
what he had to tell them.Copy !req
264. During the next few months,
he made three requests for transferCopy !req
265. to Airborne training, Fort Benning,
Georgia, and was finally accepted.Copy !req
266. Airborne?Copy !req
267. He was 38 years old.Copy !req
268. Why the fuck would he do that?Copy !req
269. 1966, joins Special Forces,Copy !req
270. returns Vietnam.Copy !req
271. - Hey, what's that?
- Arc light.Copy !req
272. - What's that?
- B-52 strike.Copy !req
273. - What's that?
- Arc light.Copy !req
274. I hate that. Every time
I hear that, something terrible happens.Copy !req
275. Charlie don't never see them
or hear them, man.Copy !req
276. There they are.Copy !req
277. Concussion will suck
the air out of your damn lungs.Copy !req
278. - Something terrible's gonna happen.
- Smoke!Copy !req
279. Secondary burning.Copy !req
280. Hueys over there. Lots of Hueys.Copy !req
281. Let's have a look, Chief.Copy !req
282. It was the air cav, First of the Ninth.Copy !req
283. That's them.Copy !req
284. Our escorts
to the mouth of the Nung River.Copy !req
285. But they were supposed to be
waiting for us another 30 km ahead.Copy !req
286. Well, Airmobile,
those boys just couldn't stay put.Copy !req
287. Kid, come on. Get down. Come on.Copy !req
288. First of the Ninth
was an old cavalry divisionCopy !req
289. that had cashed in its horses for
choppers and gone tear-assing around NamCopy !req
290. looking for the shit.Copy !req
291. They'd given Charlie a few
surprises in their time here.Copy !req
292. What they were mopping up now
hadn't even happened yet an hour ago.Copy !req
293. Just keep running by. Run for television.Copy !req
294. Don't look at the camera.
Just keep... Go on! Keep going.Copy !req
295. This is for television.
Don't look at the camera.Copy !req
296. Don't look at the camera.Copy !req
297. Just go by like you're fighting.
Like you're fighting.Copy !req
298. Don't look at the camera.
It's for television. Just go through!Copy !req
299. Go through! Just go by! Keep on going!Copy !req
300. Keep going. Don't look at the camera.
Go on. Keep going.Copy !req
301. Where can I find the CO?Copy !req
302. I'm the fourth tank commander.
I got five tanks broken down.Copy !req
303. We're all right with the tanks.
It's all right, Captain.Copy !req
304. Captain Willard!Copy !req
305. I carry priority papers from
Intelligence, ll Corps.Copy !req
306. I understand Nha Trang has briefed
you on the requirements of my mission.Copy !req
307. What mission?
I haven't heard from Nha Trang.Copy !req
308. Sir, your unit is supposed
to escort us into the Nung!Copy !req
309. - We'll see what we can do, but...
- Colonel.Copy !req
310. just stay out of my way
until this is done, Captain.Copy !req
311. All right, let's see what we have.
Let's see what we have.Copy !req
312. A two of spades, three of spades,
four of diamonds,Copy !req
313. six of clubs, eight of spades.Copy !req
314. There isn't one worth a jack
in the whole bunch. Four of diamonds.Copy !req
315. - Hey, Captain, what's that?
- Death cards!Copy !req
316. - What?
- Death cards!Copy !req
317. - Death?
- It lets Charlie know who did this.Copy !req
318. - Cheer up, son.
- We will not hurt or harm you.Copy !req
319. - Fire in the hole!
- Fire in the hole!Copy !req
320. We are here to help you.Copy !req
321. We are here to extend a welcome handCopy !req
322. - to those of you who would like...
- Come on. Everybody in?Copy !req
323. to return to the arms
of the South Vietnamese government.Copy !req
324. Hurry up!Copy !req
325. Move it out!Copy !req
326. This is an area that is controlled
by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese.Copy !req
327. Hey! What's this?Copy !req
328. What is this?Copy !req
329. This man's hurt pretty bad, sir.Copy !req
330. About the only thing
that's holding his guts in, sir,Copy !req
331. - Is that pot lid.
- Yeah?Copy !req
332. What does he have to say?Copy !req
333. This soldier is dirty VC.Copy !req
334. He wants water. He can drink paddy water.Copy !req
335. Get out of here! Give me that canteen.Copy !req
336. - He's VC!
- Any man that's brave enough to...Copy !req
337. Get out of here!
I'll kick your fucking ass!Copy !req
338. He killed a lot of our people!Copy !req
339. Any man brave enough to fight
with his guts strapped on himCopy !req
340. can drink from my canteen any day!Copy !req
341. Hey, Colonel, I think one of those
sailors is Lance Johnson, the surfer.Copy !req
342. - Where? Here? You sure?
- Down there.Copy !req
343. Yeah? Here.Copy !req
344. Repeat, we have a body count. We have...Copy !req
345. What's your name, sailor?Copy !req
346. Gunner's Mate Third Class I. Johnson, sir!Copy !req
347. - Gunner's Mate Third Class...
- Wait. Lance Johnson, the surfer?Copy !req
348. Yes, sir.Copy !req
349. Well, it's an honor to meet you, Lance.
I've admired your nose riding for years.Copy !req
350. I like your cutback, too. I think
you have the best cutback there is.Copy !req
351. - Thank you, sir.
- You can cut out the "sir" crap, Lance.Copy !req
352. I'm Bill Kilgore. I'm a goofy foot.Copy !req
353. - This guy with you?
- Yeah.Copy !req
354. I want you to meet some guys.
This is Mike from San Diego.Copy !req
355. - Far out.
- Johnny from Malibu.Copy !req
356. - John, hi. Far out.
- Pretty solid surfers.Copy !req
357. None of us are anywhere
near your class, though.Copy !req
358. No way.Copy !req
359. We do a lot of surfing around here, Lance.
I like to finish operations early,Copy !req
360. fly down to Vung Tau
for the evening glass.Copy !req
361. Been riding since you got here?Copy !req
362. No way.
I haven't surfed since I been here.Copy !req
363. Through Christ our Lord,
from whom all good things come.Copy !req
364. Through him
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,Copy !req
365. all glory and honor is yours,
Almighty Father. Amen.Copy !req
366. Let us pray with confidence to the Father
in the words our savior gave us.Copy !req
367. Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.Copy !req
368. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be doneCopy !req
369. on Earth as it is in heaven.Copy !req
370. Give us this day our daily bread...Copy !req
371. as we forgive those
who trespass against us.Copy !req
372. Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.Copy !req
373. Kilgore had had
a pretty good day for himself.Copy !req
374. They choppered in the T-bones and the beerCopy !req
375. and turned the LZ into a beach party.Copy !req
376. The more they tried
to make it just like home,Copy !req
377. the more they made everybody miss it.Copy !req
378. Make my meat rare, rare but not cold!Copy !req
379. Well, he wasn't a bad officer, I guess.Copy !req
380. He loved his boys
and you felt safe with him.Copy !req
381. He was one of those guys that
had that weird light around him.Copy !req
382. You just knew he wasn't gonna
get so much as a scratch here.Copy !req
383. What happened to your mission, Captain?Copy !req
384. Nha Trang forget all about you?Copy !req
385. Airborne.Copy !req
386. Sir, two places
we can get into the river...Copy !req
387. - Yeah.
- ... here and here.Copy !req
388. It's a pretty wide delta, but these
are the only two spots I'm really sure of.Copy !req
389. Well, that village you're
pointing at is kind of hairy, Willard.Copy !req
390. - What do you mean "hairy," sir?
- It's hairy,Copy !req
391. got some pretty heavy ordnance.Copy !req
392. I lost a few recon ships
in there now and again.Copy !req
393. What's the name of that goddamn village?
Vin Drin...Copy !req
394. - Dop.
- Dop or Lop?Copy !req
395. Damn gook names all sound the same.Copy !req
396. Mike, you know anything
about this point at Vin Drin Dop?Copy !req
397. That's a fantastic peak.Copy !req
398. - Peak?
- About six foot.Copy !req
399. Yeah, it's an outstanding peak. It's got
both the long right and left slideCopy !req
400. with a bowl section. It's unbelievable.
It's just tube city.Copy !req
401. Well, why didn't you tell me that before?
A good peak.Copy !req
402. There aren't any good peaks
in this whole shitty country.Copy !req
403. - It's all goddamn beach break.
- It's really hairy in there, sir.Copy !req
404. That's where we lost McDonald.
They shot the hell out of us there.Copy !req
405. That's Charlie's point.Copy !req
406. Sir, we can go in there tomorrow at dawn.Copy !req
407. There's always a good
offshore breeze in the morning.Copy !req
408. We may not be
able to get the boat in.Copy !req
409. The draft at the mouth of
that river may be too shallow.Copy !req
410. We'll pick your boat up and put it
down like a baby, right where you want it.Copy !req
411. This is the First of the Ninth air cav,
son. Airmobile.Copy !req
412. I can take that point
and hold it just as long as I like.Copy !req
413. And you can get any place up that
river that suits you, young Captain.Copy !req
414. Hell, a six-foot peak.Copy !req
415. All right,
take a gunship back to the division.Copy !req
416. Lance, go with Mike
and let him pick out a board for you,Copy !req
417. and bring me my Yater Spoon, the 8'6".Copy !req
418. - I don't know, sir, it's...
- What is it, soldier?Copy !req
419. Well, I mean, it's pretty hairy in there.
It's Charlie's point.Copy !req
420. Charlie don't surf!Copy !req
421. Hey, Jesus, Clean,
you ain't gonna believe this. Look.Copy !req
422. Hey, man!
They're picking up the boat!Copy !req
423. - How are you feeling, Jimmy?
- Like a mean motherfucker, sir!Copy !req
424. All right, son, let her rip.Copy !req
425. Let's go!Copy !req
426. I never have
gotten used to a light board,Copy !req
427. and I can't get used to one.
I'm used to a heavy board.Copy !req
428. I know, it's a real drag.Copy !req
429. - You prefer a heavy or a light board?
- Heavier.Copy !req
430. - Really?
- Yeah!Copy !req
431. I thought all the young
guys like lighter boards.Copy !req
432. You can't ride the nose on those things.Copy !req
433. Big Duke Six, this is Eagle Thrust Seven.
We've got it spotted.Copy !req
434. Big Duke Six to Eagle Thrust,
put on heading 2-7-0.Copy !req
435. Assume attack formation.Copy !req
436. That's a roger, Big Duke.
Okay, we're going in.Copy !req
437. Lance, we'll come in low
out of the rising sun,Copy !req
438. and about a mile out,
we'll put on the music.Copy !req
439. - Music?
- Yeah, I use Wagner.Copy !req
440. Scares the hell out of the slopes.
My boys love it.Copy !req
441. Hey, they're gonna play music!Copy !req
442. How come all you guys sit on your helmet?Copy !req
443. So we don't get our balls blown off.Copy !req
444. Big Duke Six to Eagle Thrust,
put on psy war op, make it loud.Copy !req
445. This is a Romeo Foxtrot. Shall we dance?Copy !req
446. - Jimmy!
- Yes, sir!Copy !req
447. Run, Charlie!Copy !req
448. We got some...
There's more and more down there.Copy !req
449. Look out, automatic.50-cal!
.50-cal in the open!Copy !req
450. I've spotted a large weapon down below.
We're gonna go down and check it out.Copy !req
451. All right, this is Fox Five.
We're going in.Copy !req
452. - All right. What a shot.
- Outstanding, Red Team. Outstanding.Copy !req
453. Get you a case of beer for that.Copy !req
454. 6-4-1-0,
we're over the village right now.Copy !req
455. I think I see a vehicle
down in the courtyard.Copy !req
456. - I'm gonna check it out.
- Well done, hawks. Well done.Copy !req
457. I want some 20 Mike-Mike
Vulcan right along those tree lines.Copy !req
458. Ripple the shit out of them.Copy !req
459. Got a vehicle on the bridge,
50 caliber on board.Copy !req
460. He's moving across to resupply the weapon.Copy !req
461. Big Duke Six, clear the area.
I'm coming down myself.Copy !req
462. Don't these people ever give up?Copy !req
463. Nice shot, Bill.Copy !req
464. - Shit!
- All right, all right!Copy !req
465. - It's just a flare!
- It's a flare! Gotta get out of here!Copy !req
466. Un-ass that shit. Get it out of here!Copy !req
467. Get it out. It's just a flare.
It's all right. It's just a flare.Copy !req
468. - Everybody all right? Lance?
- I'm fine!Copy !req
469. Get down!Copy !req
470. I'm not going!
I'm not going! I'm not going!Copy !req
471. We just got a secondary
down there in the plaza.Copy !req
472. Blue Three, Blue Four,
hold out over position...Copy !req
473. Duke Six, Duke Six,
we've got wounded down there.Copy !req
474. My God! Oh, my God!Copy !req
475. - Get a stretcher over here!
- You're all right.Copy !req
476. Please! Help me!Copy !req
477. - Please, God! Help me!
- Stay with me, son, you're gonna be okay.Copy !req
478. - Let's give him some morphine.
- My God! My God!Copy !req
479. - 0-3-7-7-4-2.
- Where's that duster?Copy !req
480. I want my wounded out of there
and in the hospital in 15 minutes.Copy !req
481. I want my men out.Copy !req
482. Somebody stay in
there tight with Big Duke.Copy !req
483. This is 10-10. We're gonna
be in, throw them on and get out...Copy !req
484. She's got a grenade! She's got a grenade!Copy !req
485. Jesus! The whole goddamn thing just...Copy !req
486. - She blew the shit out of...
- Fucking savages.Copy !req
487. Can I get a medevac?Copy !req
488. What's going on...
Holy Christ, she's a sapper.Copy !req
489. I'm gonna get that dink bitch.
Get over there, Johnny. Go in there.Copy !req
490. Put that right skid right up her ass.Copy !req
491. We got to get some air in these trees.
It's goddamn eat up with enemy down there.Copy !req
492. I'm taking fire.
I'm taking hits all over...Copy !req
493. Three o'clock! Three o'clock, my position!
Drawing fire, drawing heavy fire!Copy !req
494. I'm hit! Mayday! Mayday! I'm going in.
My tail rotor's out. I got control.Copy !req
495. - What do you think?
- Wow, this is really exciting, man.Copy !req
496. - No, no! The waves! The waves!
- Oh, right.Copy !req
497. Look at that, breaks both ways.
Watch. Watch.Copy !req
498. Look! Good six-foot swells!Copy !req
499. Come here, Lance.Copy !req
500. Incoming!Copy !req
501. This LZ is still pretty hot, sir.
Maybe you ought to surf somewhere else.Copy !req
502. What do you know about surfing, Major?
You're from goddamn New Jersey.Copy !req
503. Come here! Come here!Copy !req
504. - Change!
- You mean right now, sir?Copy !req
505. I wanna see how rideable that stuff is.
Go change.Copy !req
506. It's still pretty hairy out there, sir.Copy !req
507. - Do you wanna surf, soldier?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
508. That's good, son, 'cause you either
surf or fight. That clear? Now get going.Copy !req
509. I'll cover for them.
And bring a board for Lance!Copy !req
510. We can't do shit till the boat gets here.Copy !req
511. Lance,
I'll bet you can't wait to get out there.Copy !req
512. - What?
- See how they break both ways?Copy !req
513. One guy can break right, one left,
simultaneous. What do you think of that?Copy !req
514. We ought to wait for the tide to come up.Copy !req
515. - Lance, come here. Look. Look!
- Incoming!Copy !req
516. The tide doesn't come in for six hours!Copy !req
517. You wanna wait here for six hours?Copy !req
518. Yo! Hey! Chief!Copy !req
519. Okay, fellas, quit hiding. Come on!Copy !req
520. - Let's go, dickheads, take off!
- God damn it!Copy !req
521. Don't you think
it's a little risky for R&R?Copy !req
522. If I say it's safe to surf this beach,
Captain, it's safe to surf this beach!Copy !req
523. I mean, I'm not afraid to surf this place!
I'll surf this fucking place.Copy !req
524. Give me that RT, soldier.Copy !req
525. Dove Four, this is Big Duke Six.Copy !req
526. God damn it! I want that tree line bombed!Copy !req
527. Big Duke Six, roger.
Dove One-Three, stand by.Copy !req
528. Blow them into the Stone Age, son!Copy !req
529. Hawk One-Two, Dove One-Three, roger.Copy !req
530. They need some napalm
down there in the tree line.Copy !req
531. Can you guys push
ground and put it down there?Copy !req
532. Right, One-Three. We're fixing
to fuck with them. What's the target?Copy !req
533. We're trying to suppress some
mortar fire off the tree line down there.Copy !req
534. Roger. Here we come.Copy !req
535. Good, give it all you got.
Bring in all your ships.Copy !req
536. Don't worry. We'll have this place
cleaned up and ready in a jiffy, son.Copy !req
537. Don't you worry.Copy !req
538. You smell that?Copy !req
539. - Do you smell that?
- What?Copy !req
540. Napalm, son.Copy !req
541. Nothing else in the world
smells like that.Copy !req
542. Come on. Move it! Move it! Move it!Copy !req
543. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.Copy !req
544. You know, one time we had
a hill bombed for 12 hours.Copy !req
545. And when it was all over, I walked up.Copy !req
546. We didn't find one of them,
not one stinking dink body.Copy !req
547. But the smell, you know,
that gasoline smell...Copy !req
548. The whole hill,Copy !req
549. it smelled likeCopy !req
550. victory.Copy !req
551. Someday this war's gonna end.Copy !req
552. - Lance.
- Chef, light up, man.Copy !req
553. Come on. Let's get high.Copy !req
554. - Want to smoke?
- Let's do it, man. Light up.Copy !req
555. Someday this war's gonna end.Copy !req
556. That would be just fine
with the boys on the boat.Copy !req
557. They weren't looking
for anything more than a way home.Copy !req
558. Captain?Copy !req
559. Trouble is, I'd been back thereCopy !req
560. and I knew that it
just didn't exist anymore.Copy !req
561. Buddha time, here.Copy !req
562. All right, that's great,
you motherfuckers. Yeah.Copy !req
563. If that's how Kilgore fought the war,Copy !req
564. I began to wonder what
they really had against Kurtz.Copy !req
565. It wasn't just insanity and murder.Copy !req
566. There was enough of that
to go around for everyone.Copy !req
567. I mean, he never was hurting for pussy.Copy !req
568. I'm not here.Copy !req
569. I'm walking through the jungle
gathering mangos.Copy !req
570. I meet Raquel Welch.Copy !req
571. I make a nice mango cream pudding,Copy !req
572. kind of spread it around on us.Copy !req
573. Hey captain,
I wanna get some mangoes.Copy !req
574. Just don't go out there by yourself.Copy !req
575. You don't wanna go in there alone...Copy !req
576. not unless you really know the territory.Copy !req
577. Any poisonous snakes around here?Copy !req
578. Fuck it! I'm gonna get some mangoes.Copy !req
579. Chef?Copy !req
580. - Yes, sir?
- How come they call you that?Copy !req
581. - Call me what, sir?
- Chef.Copy !req
582. - Because you like mangos and stuff?
- No, sir, I'm a real chef.Copy !req
583. - I'm a saucier.
- Saucier?Copy !req
584. Yes, sir. See, I come from New Orleans.
I was raised to be a saucier,Copy !req
585. a great saucier.Copy !req
586. - What's a saucier?
- You specialize in sauces.Copy !req
587. Gotta be a mango tree here somewhere.Copy !req
588. Then I was supposed to go to Paris,
study at the Escoffier School.Copy !req
589. But then I got orders for my physical.Copy !req
590. Hell, I joined the Navy.
Heard they had better food.Copy !req
591. A cook school, that did it.Copy !req
592. - Oh, yeah? How's that?
- You don't want to hear about that.Copy !req
593. They lined us up in front
of 100 yards of prime rib.Copy !req
594. All of us lined up, looking at it.Copy !req
595. Magnificent meat, really.
Beautifully marbled.Copy !req
596. Magnifique.Copy !req
597. Next thing, they're throwing
the meat into these big cauldrons.Copy !req
598. All of it, boiling it.Copy !req
599. I looked inside, man. It was turning gray.Copy !req
600. I couldn't fucking believe that one.Copy !req
601. That's when I applied for radioman school,
but then they gave me the...Copy !req
602. What is it?Copy !req
603. Charlie?Copy !req
604. It's a tiger!Copy !req
605. Tiger, man! It's a tiger!Copy !req
606. Battle stations. Lance, up front!Copy !req
607. - On the.60, Clean!
- Got it, man.Copy !req
608. Holy shit.Copy !req
609. - Chef, come on!
- Fucking tiger!Copy !req
610. - Captain, come on!
- What's happening?Copy !req
611. - Let's go!
- Tiger!Copy !req
612. Chief, you were right.
Never get out of the fucking boat.Copy !req
613. - Bring that.60 forward!
- Never get out of the boat!Copy !req
614. Never get out of the boat! I got to
remember. Never get out of the boat.Copy !req
615. - What happened? How many is it?
- A fucking tiger!Copy !req
616. - What?
- A fucking tiger!Copy !req
617. - Tiger?
- Yes! I've had it!Copy !req
618. I've had the whole goddamn fucking shit,
man!Copy !req
619. You can kiss my ass on the county square,
because I'm fucking bugging out.Copy !req
620. I didn't come here for this.
I don't fucking need it! I don't want it.Copy !req
621. I didn't get out of the goddamn
eighth grade for this kind of shit!Copy !req
622. All I wanted to do was fucking cook!Copy !req
623. I just wanted
to learn to fucking cook, man!Copy !req
624. - It's all right. It's all right.
- What happened, bro?Copy !req
625. You're all right.
You're gonna be all right.Copy !req
626. - All right. It's all right.
- You're all right.Copy !req
627. It's gonna be all right.
Never get out of the fucking boat.Copy !req
628. Never get out of the fucking boat.
Hi, tiger! Bye, tiger! Good-bye!Copy !req
629. Never get out of the boat.Copy !req
630. Absolutely goddamn right.Copy !req
631. Unless you were going all the way.Copy !req
632. Kurtz got off the boat.Copy !req
633. He split from the whole fucking program.Copy !req
634. How did that happen?Copy !req
635. What did he see here that first tour?Copy !req
636. Thirty-eight fucking years old.Copy !req
637. If you joined the Green Berets, there
was no way you'd ever get above colonel.Copy !req
638. Kurtz knew what he was giving up.Copy !req
639. And the more I read and began
to understand, the more I admired him.Copy !req
640. His family and friends
couldn't understand it,Copy !req
641. and they couldn't talk him out of it.Copy !req
642. He had to apply three times
and he put up with a ton of shit.Copy !req
643. But when he threatened to resign,
they gave it to him.Copy !req
644. The next youngest guy
in his class was half his age.Copy !req
645. They must have thought
he was some far-out old man,Copy !req
646. humping it over that course.Copy !req
647. I did it when I was 19
and it damn near wasted me.Copy !req
648. A tough motherfucker.Copy !req
649. He finished it.Copy !req
650. He could have gone for General...Copy !req
651. but he went for himself instead.Copy !req
652. "Dear Eva,Copy !req
653. today was really a new one.
Almost got eaten alive by a fucking tiger.Copy !req
654. Really un-fucking-believable, you know?Copy !req
655. We're taking this guy, Captain Willard,
up the river,Copy !req
656. but he hasn't told us
yet where we're taking him."Copy !req
657. "Thought you might have heard by
now from Elwood. I'll be coming home..."Copy !req
658. October 1967,Copy !req
659. on special assignment, Kon Tum Province,
Il Corps.Copy !req
660. Kurtz staged Operation Archangel!
with combined local forces,Copy !req
661. rated a major success.Copy !req
662. He received no official clearance.
He just thought it up and did it.Copy !req
663. What balls.Copy !req
664. They were gonna nail his ass
to the floorboards for that one.Copy !req
665. But after the press got a hold of it,
they promoted him to full colonel instead.Copy !req
666. Oh, man,Copy !req
667. the bullshit piled up so fast in Vietnam,Copy !req
668. you needed wings to stay above it.Copy !req
669. This sure enough is a bizarre
sight in the middle of this shit.Copy !req
670. Expecting us this time?Copy !req
671. Damned if I know.Copy !req
672. - Hello. Hello...
- Jesus.Copy !req
673. Everything goes back up into the truck.Copy !req
674. What?Copy !req
675. We got to get all that stuff up.Copy !req
676. Hau Phat.
You ever been up here before, Chef?Copy !req
677. - Let's go!

678. Yo, man, check out the bikes, Lance.Copy !req
679. Yamaha, Suzuki. Yeah!Copy !req
680. - That's a good one.

681. Yeah, man. This is something.Copy !req
682. Please!Copy !req
683. - This must be the guy.

684. Sergeant. Sergeant?Copy !req
685. Three drums of diesel fuel, PBR 5.Copy !req
686. Come on, man! Move! We don't have time.
One hour. That's all. What do you want?Copy !req
687. Can I get some Panama Red with it?Copy !req
688. Panama Red. Yeah, I'll get you Panama Red.Copy !req
689. - Sergeant?
- Destination?Copy !req
690. - I don't have no destination.

691. without a destination.
You got a destination?Copy !req
692. - Sergeant.

706. You want those? The show, man.
The show out here.Copy !req

743. Charlie didn't get much USO.Copy !req
744. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast.Copy !req
745. His idea of great R&R was
cold rice and a little rat meat.Copy !req
746. He had only two ways home,Copy !req
747. death or victory.Copy !req
748. No wonder Kurtz put
a weed up Command's ass.Copy !req
749. The war was being run
by a bunch of four-star clownsCopy !req
750. who were gonna end up
giving the whole circus away.Copy !req

758. What the fuck they think they're doing?Copy !req
759. Late summer, autumn 1968.Copy !req
760. Kurtz's patrols in the
highlands coming under frequent ambush.Copy !req
761. The camp started falling apart.Copy !req
762. November.Copy !req
763. Kurtz orders assassination
of three Vietnamese men and one woman.Copy !req
764. Two of the men were colonels
in the South Vietnamese army.Copy !req
765. Enemy activity in his old
sector dropped off to nothing.Copy !req
766. Guess he must have hit
the right four people.Copy !req
767. He joined the Special Forces.
And after that, his...Copy !req
768. The Army tried one last
time to bring him back into the fold.Copy !req
769. methods...Copy !req
770. And if he'd pulled over,
it all would have been forgotten.Copy !req
771. unsound.Copy !req
772. But he kept going...Copy !req
773. Now he's crossed into Cambodia...Copy !req
774. and he
kept winning it his way...Copy !req
775. with this
Montagnard army of his...Copy !req
776. and they called me in.Copy !req
777. man like a god. And follow
every order, however ridiculous.Copy !req
778. They lost him.Copy !req
779. He was gone.Copy !req
780. Nothing but rumors
and random intelligence,Copy !req
781. mostly from captured VC.Copy !req
782. The VC knew his name by now,
and they were scared of him.Copy !req
783. He and his men were playing hit and run,
all the way into Cambodia.Copy !req
784. I know where I'm going.
I'm going to the White HouseCopy !req
785. to have dinner with the
President of the United States, baby.Copy !req
786. That's where I'm going.Copy !req
787. Hey, Chef, put the cover on that.Copy !req
788. Clean.Copy !req
789. - How long has that kid been on this boat?
- Seven months.Copy !req
790. He's really
specializing in busting my balls.Copy !req
791. Very possible, Captain,
he thinks the same of you.Copy !req
792. Oh, yeah? What do you think, Chief?Copy !req
793. I don't think.Copy !req
794. My orders say I'm not supposed to know
where I'm taking this boat, so I don't!Copy !req
795. But one look at you, and I know
it's gonna be hot, wherever it is.Copy !req
796. We're going upriver about 75
klicks above the Do Luong bridge.Copy !req
797. - That's Cambodia, Captain.
- That's classified.Copy !req
798. We're not supposed to be in Cambodia,
but that's where I'm going.Copy !req
799. You just get me close to my destination,
and I'll cut you and the crew loose.Copy !req
800. All right, Captain.Copy !req
801. "Dear Son,Copy !req
802. I'm afraid that both you
and your mother will have been worriedCopy !req
803. at not hearing from me
during the past weeks.Copy !req
804. But my situation here
has become a difficult one.Copy !req
805. I have been officially
accused of murder by the Army.Copy !req
806. The alleged victims were
four Vietnamese double agents.Copy !req
807. We spent months uncovering
them and accumulating evidence.Copy !req
808. When absolute proof was completed,
we acted, we acted like soldiers.Copy !req
809. The charges are unjustified.Copy !req
810. They are, in fact,Copy !req
811. and in the circumstances
of this conflict, quite completely insane.Copy !req
812. In a war, there are many moments
for compassion and tender action.Copy !req
813. There are many moments for ruthless
action, what is often called ruthless,Copy !req
814. what may, in many circumstances,
be only clarity.Copy !req
815. Seeing clearly what there
is to be done and doing it."Copy !req
816. Medevac, come in.Copy !req
817. - "... directly, quickly, awake..."
- Alpha Tango Tango.Copy !req
818. - Echo Tango Alpha...
- "... looking at it."Copy !req
819. request dust-off.
Three, maybe four KIAs. Over.Copy !req
820. "I will trust you to tell your
mother what you choose about this letter.Copy !req
821. As for the charges against me,
I am unconcerned.”Copy !req
822. Medevac, come in.Copy !req
823. "I am beyond their timid, lying morality.Copy !req
824. - "And so I am beyond caring."
- Medevac, do you read? Over.Copy !req
825. "You have all my faith.
Your loving father.”Copy !req
826. Shove it, fuck-up!Copy !req
827. Sure sorry about that. If I had known,
I'd have taken you to New Orleans...Copy !req
828. - Man, fuck you.
- ... Introduce you to cooze, Bubba!Copy !req
829. You're a fucking dog!Copy !req
830. Come on down to New Orleans, Bubba,Copy !req
831. - and I'll get you fixed up, you prick.
- Lay off, Chef.Copy !req
832. You're the only fucking
prick I see around here.Copy !req
833. If I want to play with a prick,
I'll play with my own!Copy !req
834. - Lay off, Chef!
- What you gonna do with it, cherry boy?Copy !req
835. - Fucking cherry boy!
- Chef, I said lay off!Copy !req
836. Chef, knock it off! Give him a break!
What do you think I said?Copy !req
837. And give your jaws a rest!Copy !req
838. And this ain't the Army. You are a sailor!Copy !req
839. So get out of that frizzly Army-looking
shirt and stop smoking that dope!Copy !req
840. You hear me?Copy !req
841. Lance,
what's with all the green paint?Copy !req
842. - Camouflage.
- How's that?Copy !req
843. So they can't see you.
They're everywhere, Chief.Copy !req
844. Uh-huh. I want you to stay awake up there,
man. You got a job to do.Copy !req
845. Sampan off the port bow. Sampan
off the port bow. Let's take a look.Copy !req
846. Lance. Bring them in.Copy !req
847. Clean, on the.60. Chef, get a.16.Copy !req
848. Clean, get on that.60!Copy !req
849. What's up, Chief?Copy !req
850. A junk boat, Captain.
We're gonna take a routine check.Copy !req
851. Well,
let's forget routine now and let them go.Copy !req
852. These boats are running
supplies in this delta, Captain.Copy !req
853. I'm gonna take a look.Copy !req
854. Chief, my mission's got priority here.Copy !req
855. Hell, you wouldn't even be in this
part of the river if it wasn't for me.Copy !req
856. Until we reach your destination, Captain,
you're just on for the ride.Copy !req
857. - Stand by, Lance.
- Come on, throw the rope, asshole.Copy !req
858. All right. Come on.
Let's bring it over.Copy !req
859. Look in that forward hooch.
Bring the people out of there.Copy !req
860. Come on! Hurry up, motherfucker!
Move it!Copy !req
861. - You two, come on.
- Keep your eyes open, Clean.Copy !req
862. I got you, Chief.Copy !req
863. It's clear, Chief.Copy !req
864. Okay, that's them.
That's them. They're okay.Copy !req
865. Board and search it.Copy !req
866. It's just a fucking boat.
There ain't nothing on it, Chief.Copy !req
867. Board it and search it.Copy !req
868. Just some baskets and some ducks,
fucking bananas.Copy !req
869. Ain't nothing on it.
Don't be ashamed, Chef.Copy !req
870. What's wrong with you?
Go on and search it.Copy !req
871. There's a goat and some fish.Copy !req
872. - Chef!
- Bunch of fucking vegetables.Copy !req
873. - Get on that boat!
- There's nothing on it, man!Copy !req
874. - Get on it!
- All right!Copy !req
875. Move it, asshole! Goddamn it!
Just some pigs.Copy !req
876. Look, mangos.Copy !req
877. - What's in the rice bag?
- Fucking rice!Copy !req
878. - Look in there, Chef. Look in it.

Get over there, Goddamn it.Copy !req
882. Check that vegetable basket.Copy !req
883. - All right!
- Shut up, slope!Copy !req
884. - There ain't nothing in here.
- What's in the boxes?Copy !req
885. Not a fucking thing.Copy !req
886. - Look in that tin can.
- Nothing.Copy !req
887. - That rusty can.
- Just fucking rice, that's all!Copy !req
888. - There ain't nothing on it!
- Check the yellow can.Copy !req
889. Check the yellow can!
She was sitting on it. What's in it?Copy !req
890. Chef!Copy !req
891. Motherfuckers!Copy !req
892. - Hold it!
- Come on, let's kill them all!Copy !req
893. - Fucking cocksucking mothers!
- Hold it! Hold it!Copy !req
894. Let's kill all the assholes!
Shoot the shit out of all of them.Copy !req
895. - Chef, hold it!
- Why not? Jesus Christ.Copy !req
896. Why the fuck not?Copy !req
897. - Clean?
- I'm good.Copy !req
898. - You okay, Lance?
- Shit! Fuck! Shit!Copy !req
899. - Chef!
- Look what she was hiding, huh?Copy !req
900. - You all right?
- See what she was running for?Copy !req
901. It's a fucking puppy.Copy !req
902. It's a fucking puppy.Copy !req

Slow down and take it easy.Copy !req
916. All right, Chef,
just wait a minute. Wait a minute, Chef.Copy !req
917. - Bring her up.
- Is she breathing, Chef?Copy !req
918. - She's hurt. She's bleeding.
- Oh, man.Copy !req
919. Bring her on board.
We're taking her to an ARVN.Copy !req
920. What are you talking about?Copy !req
921. We're taking her to some friendlies,
Captain.Copy !req

- The book says, Captain...Copy !req
924. Fuck you. Fuck him.Copy !req
925. I told you not to stop.
Now let's go.Copy !req
926. It was the way we had
over here of living with ourselves.Copy !req
927. We'd cut them in half with a machine gun
and give them a Band-Aid.Copy !req
928. It was a lie,Copy !req
929. and the more [ saw of them,Copy !req
930. the more I hated lies.Copy !req
931. Those boys were never gonna
look at me the same way again.Copy !req
932. But ] felt like I knew one
or two things about KurtzCopy !req
933. that weren't in the dossier.Copy !req
934. Do Luong bridge was the last
Army outpost on the Nung River.Copy !req
935. Beyond that, there was only Kurtz.Copy !req
936. Lance! Hey, Lance, what do you think?Copy !req
937. It's beautiful.Copy !req
938. Huh? I mean, what's the matter with you?
You're acting kind of weird.Copy !req
939. Hey, you know that last
tab of acid I was saving?Copy !req
940. - Yeah.

You'll get what you deserve!Copy !req
944. Is there a Captain Willard on board?Copy !req

949. Expected you here a little sooner.
This is mail for the boat.Copy !req
950. You don't know how happy
this makes me, sir.Copy !req
951. - Why?
- Now I can get out of here,Copy !req
952. if I can find a way.Copy !req
953. You're in the asshole
of the world, Captain!Copy !req
954. Captain, where you going?Copy !req

1036. Months ago,
a man was ordered on a missionCopy !req
1037. which was identical to yours.Copy !req
1038. We have reason to believe that he
is now operating with Colonel Kurtz.Copy !req
1039. Saigon was carrying him
MIA for his family's sake.Copy !req
1040. They assumed he was dead.Copy !req
1041. Then they intercepted a letter
he tried to send to his wife."Copy !req
1042. Captain Richard Colby...Copy !req
1043. he was with Kurtz.Copy !req
1044. Disneyland.Copy !req
1045. Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland.Copy !req
1046. "Charles Miller Manson

1048. That's really weird, ain't it?Copy !req
1049. - Purple haze, look.
- Hey, Lance, put away that smoke.Copy !req
1050. - I got a tape from my mom.
- Chief, rainbow reality, man.Copy !req
1051. Hey, Chief, get a good whiff.Copy !req
1052. Eva can't picture me in Vietnam.Copy !req
1053. She pictures me at home
having a beer and watching TV.Copy !req
1054. Hey, Lance, man.Copy !req
1055. Hot potato! Hot potato!Copy !req
1056. I'm so glad you decided to join...Copy !req
1057. Eva's not sure if she can
have a relationship with me, you know?Copy !req
1058. Here I am, 13,000 fucking miles away,Copy !req
1059. trying to keep a relationship open,
my ass.Copy !req
1060. That's much more
than I can say for some of your friends.Copy !req
1061. If this tape is any good,
I will have Dad and the familyCopy !req
1062. - send you a tape of their own...

but pretty soon,Copy !req
1077. I'll have a lot of grandchildren
to love and spoil,Copy !req
1078. and then when your wife get them back,
she'll be mad with me.Copy !req
1079. Ha, ha, ha.Copy !req
1080. Even Aunt Jessie and Mama
will come to celebrate your coming home.Copy !req
1081. Granny and Dad are trying
to get enough money to get you a car.Copy !req
1082. But don't tell her,
because that's our secret.Copy !req
1083. Anyhow, do the right thing,
stay out of the way of the bullets,Copy !req
1084. and bring your heinie
home all in one pieceCopy !req
1085. because we love you very much. Love, Mama.Copy !req
1086. Oh, man. You're so young.Copy !req
1087. Clean.Copy !req
1088. Can't see nothing. We're stopping.Copy !req

to stop this boat, Chief.Copy !req
1090. I said I can't see a thing,
Captain. I'm stopping this boat.Copy !req
1091. I ain't risking no more lives.Copy !req
1092. I'm in command here,
God damn it. You'll do what I say.Copy !req
1093. You see anything, Chef?Copy !req
1094. Why don't they fucking attack, man?Copy !req
1095. Watch it over here, Chief.Copy !req
1096. Got a stump.Copy !req
1097. Lance, on the.50s.Copy !req
1098. He was close.Copy !req
1099. He was real close.Copy !req
1100. I couldn't see him yet,
but I could feel him,Copy !req
1101. as if the boat were being sucked upriverCopy !req
1102. and the water was
flowing back into the jungle.Copy !req
1103. Whatever was going to happen,Copy !req
1104. it wasn't gonna be the way
they called it back in Nha Trang.Copy !req
1105. Arrows!Copy !req
1106. Fire!Copy !req
1107. Chef, open up! Fire!Copy !req
1108. Lance, fire!Copy !req

They're just little toy arrows.Copy !req
1110. Cut it out! Quiet!Copy !req
1111. Chief, tell them to hold their fire!Copy !req
1112. They're just little sticks.
They're just trying to scare us.Copy !req
1113. Quiet!Copy !req
1114. You got us in this mess,
and now you can't get us outCopy !req
1115. because you don't know where
the hell you're going, do you?Copy !req
1116. Do you?Copy !req
1117. You son of a bitch! You bastard!Copy !req
1118. - Lance, get the wheel!

1122. There's a Green Beret
colonel up there who's gone insaneCopy !req
1123. and I'm supposed to kill him.Copy !req
1124. That's fucking typical! Shit!Copy !req
1125. Fucking Vietnam mission!Copy !req
1126. I'm short and we got to go up there
so you can kill one of our own guys?Copy !req
1127. That's fucking great!
That's just fucking great, man.Copy !req
1128. Shit! That's fucking crazy.Copy !req
1129. I mean, I thought you were
going in to blow up a bridgeCopy !req
1130. or some fucking
railroad tracks or something.Copy !req
1131. - Sorry.
- No, no, wait, wait.Copy !req
1132. We'll go together on the boat.
We'll go with you.Copy !req
1133. We'll go up there, but on the boat. Okay?Copy !req
1134. Part of me was
afraid of what I would findCopy !req
1135. and what I would do when I got there.Copy !req
1136. I knew the risks...Copy !req
1137. or imagined I knew.Copy !req
1138. But the thing I felt the most,
much stronger than fear...Copy !req
1139. was the desire to confront him.Copy !req
1140. Just keep moving.Copy !req
1141. Lance, keep your hands away from the guns.Copy !req
1142. It's all right! It's all right!
It's all been approved!Copy !req
1143. I ain't coming in there!
Them bastards attacked us!Copy !req
1144. Zap them with your siren, man.
Zap them with your siren.Copy !req
1145. There's mines over there
and mines over there, too.Copy !req
1146. And watch out. Those goddamn
monkeys bite you, I'll tell you.Copy !req
1147. That's a pretty one.
Move it right in toward me.Copy !req
1148. I'm an American! Yeah!
An American civilian. Hi, Yanks.Copy !req
1149. Hi, American.Copy !req
1150. American civilian. It's all right.Copy !req
1151. And you got the cigarettes.
And that's what I've been dreaming about.Copy !req
1152. Chef.Copy !req
1153. - Who are you?
- Who are you?Copy !req
1154. I'm a photojournalist.Copy !req
1155. I've covered the war since 64.
I've been in Laos, Cambodia and Nam.Copy !req
1156. I'll tell you one thing,
this boat is a mess, man.Copy !req
1157. Who are all these people?Copy !req
1158. Yeah, they think you've come to...Copy !req
1159. take him away,Copy !req
1160. - and I hope that isn't true.
- Take who away?Copy !req
1161. Him!Copy !req
1162. Colonel Kurtz.Copy !req
1163. These are all his children, man,
as far as you can see.Copy !req
1164. Hell, man, out here,
we're all his children.Copy !req
1165. Could we...Copy !req
1166. talk to Colonel Kurtz?Copy !req
1167. Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel.Copy !req
1168. Well, you listen to him.Copy !req
1169. The man's enlarged my mind.
He's a poet warrior in the classic sense.Copy !req
1170. Sometimes you'll say hello to him, right,Copy !req
1171. and he'll just walk right by
you and he won't even notice you.Copy !req
1172. And then suddenly he'll grab you,
he'll throw you in a corner and he'll say,Copy !req
1173. "Do you know that 'if is the middle
word in 'life"? If you can keep your headCopy !req
1174. "when all about you are losing
theirs and blaming it on you,Copy !req
1175. if you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you..."Copy !req
1176. I'm a little man. I'm a little man.
He's a great man.Copy !req
1177. "I should have been
a pair of ragged claws,Copy !req
1178. Scuttling across
the floors of silent seas."Copy !req
1179. Stay with the boat.Copy !req
1180. Don't go without me, okay?
I wanna get a picture.Copy !req
1181. He can be terrible, he can be mean,
and he can be right.Copy !req
1182. He's fighting the war. He's a great man.Copy !req
1183. I mean...Copy !req
1184. I wish I had words, you know?
I wish I had words.Copy !req
1185. I can tell you something, like,
the other day he wanted to kill me.Copy !req
1186. - Something like that.
- Why'd he want to kill you?Copy !req
1187. Because I took his picture.Copy !req
1188. He said, "If you take my picture again...Copy !req
1189. I'm gonna kill you..."Copy !req
1190. and he meant it.Copy !req
1191. So you just lay cool.
Play it cool, laid back. Dig it.Copy !req
1192. He gets friendly again. He really does.Copy !req
1193. But you don't judge the Colonel.Copy !req
1194. You don't judge the
Colonel like an ordinary man.Copy !req
1195. Okay, watch it now.
These are Americans. Americans!Copy !req
1196. You can feel the vibe of this place.Copy !req
1197. Let me take your picture.
Could you hold... Hello? Hello?Copy !req
1198. Could you hold up a minute?Copy !req
1199. Colby.Copy !req
1200. The heads. You're looking at the heads.Copy !req
1201. Sometimes he goes too far.Copy !req
1202. He's the first one to admit it.Copy !req
1203. - He's gone crazy.
- Wrong, wrong!Copy !req
1204. If you could have heard
the man just two days ago.Copy !req
1205. If you could have heard him then, God...Copy !req
1206. You're gonna call him crazy?Copy !req
1207. Fucking A.Copy !req
1208. I just wanna talk to him.Copy !req
1209. Well, man, he's gone away.Copy !req
1210. He's gone away. He disappeared
out in the jungle with his people.Copy !req
1211. - I'll wait for him.
- He feels comfortable with his people.Copy !req
1212. He forgets himself with his people.Copy !req
1213. - He forgets himself.
- Captain?Copy !req
1214. Maybe we should wait back at the boat.Copy !req
1215. Okay, Chef.Copy !req
1216. - We'll go back to the boat for a while.
- Yeah, stay with Lance.Copy !req
1217. This Colonel guy, he's wacko, man.
He's worse than crazy. He's evil!Copy !req
1218. That's what the man's got set up here!Copy !req
1219. Man, it's fucking Pagan idolatry.
Look around you!Copy !req
1220. - Shit, he's loco.
- Then you'll help me?Copy !req
1221. Help you? Fucking A, I'll help you.
I'll do anything to get out of this joint.Copy !req
1222. Good boy.Copy !req
1223. We could blow
all them assholes away.Copy !req
1224. They're so fucking spaced out,
they wouldn't even know it.Copy !req
1225. I ain't afraid of all them
fucking skulls and altars and shit.Copy !req
1226. I used to think
if I died in an evil place,Copy !req
1227. then my soul wouldn't be
able to make it to heaven.Copy !req
1228. But now, fuck.Copy !req
1229. I don't care where it goes,
as long as it ain't here.Copy !req
1230. So what do you wanna do?
I'll kill the fuck.Copy !req
1231. - No, no.
- Get out of here.Copy !req
1232. I'm gonna need you to wait here, Chef.Copy !req
1233. I'll go up with Lance and scrounge around,
check the place out,Copy !req
1234. see if I can find the Colonel, okay?Copy !req
1235. - What do you want me to do?
- Damn it.Copy !req
1236. Here, you take the radio,
and if I don't get back by 2200 hours...Copy !req
1237. you call in the air strike.Copy !req
1238. Air strike?Copy !req
1239. The code is "Almighty,”
coordinates 0-9-2-6-4-7-1-2.Copy !req
1240. It's all in there.Copy !req
1241. 0-9-2-6-4-7-1-2.Copy !req
1242. Everything I saw told me
that Kurtz had gone insane.Copy !req
1243. The place was full of bodies.
North Vietnamese, Viet Cong, Cambodians.Copy !req
1244. If I was still alive,
it was because he wanted me that way.Copy !req
1245. Hey!Copy !req
1246. It smelled like slow death in there.Copy !req
1247. Malaria, nightmares.Copy !req
1248. This was the end of the river, all right.Copy !req
1249. Where are you from, Willard?Copy !req
1250. I'm from Ohio, sir.Copy !req
1251. - Were you born there?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
1252. - Whereabouts?
- Toledo, sir.Copy !req
1253. How far are you from the river?Copy !req
1254. The Ohio River, sir?Copy !req
1255. - Uh-huh.
- About 200 miles.Copy !req
1256. I went down that river
once when I was a kid.Copy !req
1257. There's a place in the river,
I can't remember.Copy !req
1258. It must've been a gardenia plantation
or a flower plantation at one time.Copy !req
1259. It's all wild and overgrown now,Copy !req
1260. but for about five miles, you'd think
that heaven just fell on the Earth...Copy !req
1261. in the form of gardenias.Copy !req
1262. Have you ever
considered any real freedoms?Copy !req
1263. Freedoms from the opinion of others?Copy !req
1264. Even the opinions of yourself?Copy !req
1265. Did they say why, Willard?Copy !req
1266. Why they wanted to terminate my command?Copy !req
1267. I was sent on a classified mission, sir.Copy !req
1268. No longer classified...Copy !req
1269. is it?Copy !req
1270. What did they tell you?Copy !req
1271. They told meCopy !req
1272. that you had gone...Copy !req
1273. totally insane...Copy !req
1274. and that your methods wereCopy !req
1275. unsound.Copy !req
1276. Are my methods unsound?Copy !req
1277. I don't see any method at all, sir.Copy !req
1278. I expected someone like you.Copy !req
1279. What did you expect?Copy !req
1280. Are you an assassin?Copy !req
1281. I'm a soldier.Copy !req
1282. You're neither.Copy !req
1283. You're an errand boy...Copy !req
1284. sent by grocery clerks...Copy !req
1285. to collect a bill.Copy !req
1286. Why, huh? Why would a nice guy
like you wanna kill a genius?Copy !req
1287. Going down pretty good, huh?Copy !req
1288. Why?Copy !req
1289. You know?Copy !req
1290. Do you know that the man...Copy !req
1291. the man really likes you?Copy !req
1292. He likes you. He really likes you...Copy !req
1293. but he's got something in mind for you.Copy !req
1294. Aren't you curious about that?Copy !req
1295. I'm curious. I'm very curious.Copy !req
1296. Are you curious?Copy !req
1297. There's something happening out here, man.Copy !req
1298. You know something, man?
I know something that you don't know.Copy !req
1299. That's right, jack.Copy !req
1300. The man is clear in his mind...Copy !req
1301. but his soul is mad.Copy !req
1302. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
1303. He's dying, I think.
He hates all this. He hates it.Copy !req
1304. But the man's...Copy !req
1305. He reads poetry out loud, all right?Copy !req
1306. And a voice...Copy !req
1307. a voice...Copy !req
1308. He likes you 'cause you're still alive.Copy !req
1309. He's got plans for you.Copy !req
1310. No, no, I'm not gonna help you.
You're gonna help him, man.Copy !req
1311. You're gonna help him.Copy !req
1312. What are they gonna say, man,
when he's gone? Huh?Copy !req
1313. 'Cause he dies when it dies, man.
When it dies, he dies.Copy !req
1314. What are they gonna say about him?
What are they gonna say?Copy !req
1315. "He was a kind man. He was a wise man.Copy !req
1316. He had plans. He had wisdom."
Bullshit, man!Copy !req
1317. Am I gonna be the one that's gonna
set them straight? Look at me. Wrong!Copy !req
1318. You.Copy !req
1319. Almost eight hours.Copy !req
1320. God. I'm asleep.Copy !req
1321. I'm asleep and dreaming
I'm on this shitty boat.Copy !req
1322. Fuck.Copy !req
1323. Has it been eight hours?Copy !req
1324. Hello, Almighty, Almighty,
this is PBR Street Gang.Copy !req
1325. Radio check. Over.Copy !req
1326. PBR Street Gang,
this is Almighty standing by. Over.Copy !req
1327. What the hell! Jesus!Copy !req
1328. Oh, Christ!Copy !req
1329. "We are the hollow men,
We are the stuffed men,Copy !req
1330. Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!Copy !req
1331. Our dried voices,
when we whisper together,Copy !req
1332. Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass...Copy !req
1333. - Or rats' feet over broken glass..."
- Oh, he's out there.Copy !req
1334. “In our dry cellar... ”Copy !req
1335. He's really out there.Copy !req
1336. "Shape without form,
shade without color...Copy !req
1337. Paralyzed force,
gesture without motion..."Copy !req
1338. Do you know what the man's saying?Copy !req
1339. - Do you?
- "Those who have crossed..."Copy !req
1340. This is dialectics. It's very
simple dialectics. One through nine,Copy !req
1341. no "maybes," no "supposes," no fractions.
You can't travel in space.Copy !req
1342. You can't go out into space, you know,
without like... With fractions.Copy !req
1343. What are you gonna land on?
One-quarter? Three-eighths?Copy !req
1344. What are you gonna do when you go
from here to Venus or something?Copy !req
1345. That's dialectic physics, okay?Copy !req
1346. Dialectic logic is,
"There's only love and hate.”Copy !req
1347. You either love somebody or you hate them.Copy !req
1348. Mutt!Copy !req
1349. You mutt.Copy !req
1350. This is the way the fucking world ends.
Look at this fucking shit we're in, man!Copy !req
1351. "Not with a bang, a whimper."Copy !req
1352. And with a whimper,
I'm fucking splitting, jack.Copy !req
1353. On the river, I thought
that the minute I looked at him,Copy !req
1354. I'd know what to do.Copy !req
1355. But it didn't happen.Copy !req
1356. I was in there with him for days,
not under guard.Copy !req
1357. I was free.Copy !req
1358. But he knew I wasn't going anywhere.Copy !req
1359. He knew more about
what I was going to do than I did.Copy !req
1360. If the generals back in Nha Trang
could see what ll saw,Copy !req
1361. would they still want me to kill him?Copy !req
1362. More than ever, probably.Copy !req
1363. And what would his people back home want,Copy !req
1364. if they ever learned just how
far from them he'd really gone?Copy !req
1365. He broke from them,
and then he broke from himself.Copy !req
1366. I'd never seen a man
So broken up and ripped apart.Copy !req
1367. I've seen the horrors,
horrors that you've seen.Copy !req
1368. But you have no right
to call me a murderer.Copy !req
1369. You have a right to kill me.Copy !req
1370. You have a right to do that.Copy !req
1371. But you have no right to judge me.Copy !req
1372. It's impossible for words to describe...Copy !req
1373. what is necessary...Copy !req
1374. to those who do not know...Copy !req
1375. what horror means.Copy !req
1376. Horror.Copy !req
1377. Horror has a face.Copy !req
1378. And you must make a friend of horror.Copy !req
1379. Horror and moral terror are your friends.Copy !req
1380. If they are not,
then they are enemies to be feared.Copy !req
1381. They are truly enemies.Copy !req
1382. I remember when I was with Special Forces.Copy !req
1383. It seems a thousand centuries ago.Copy !req
1384. We went into a camp
to inoculate some children.Copy !req
1385. We'd left the camp after we had
inoculated the children for polio.Copy !req
1386. And this old man came running after us,
and he was crying, he couldn't see.Copy !req
1387. We went back there,Copy !req
1388. and they had come
and hacked off every inoculated arm.Copy !req
1389. There they were, in a pile. A pile...Copy !req
1390. of little arms.Copy !req
1391. And I remember...Copy !req
1392. I cried. I wept like...Copy !req
1393. some grandmother.Copy !req
1394. I wanted to tear my teeth out.
I didn't know what I wanted to do.Copy !req
1395. And I want to remember it.
I never want to forget it.Copy !req
1396. I never want to forget.Copy !req
1397. And then I realized...Copy !req
1398. like I was shot,
like I was shot with a diamond...Copy !req
1399. a diamond bullet
right through my forehead.Copy !req
1400. And I thought, "My God,
the genius of that. The genius.”Copy !req
1401. The will to do that...Copy !req
1402. perfect, genuine,
complete, crystalline, pure.Copy !req
1403. And then I realizedCopy !req
1404. they were stronger than me
because they could stand it.Copy !req
1405. These were not monsters.
These were men, trained cadres.Copy !req
1406. These men who fought with their hearts,Copy !req
1407. who have families, who have children,
who are filled with love...Copy !req
1408. but they have the strength...Copy !req
1409. the strength...Copy !req
1410. to do that.Copy !req
1411. If I had 10 divisions of those men...Copy !req
1412. then our troubles here
would be over very quickly.Copy !req
1413. You have to have men who are moral...Copy !req
1414. and at the same time, who are able...Copy !req
1415. to utilize
their primordial instincts to Kill...Copy !req
1416. without feeling, without passion...Copy !req
1417. without judgment. Without judgment.Copy !req
1418. Because it's judgment that defeats us.Copy !req
1419. I worry that my son might not
understand what I've tried to be.Copy !req
1420. And if I were to be killed, Willard,Copy !req
1421. I would want someone to go to my
home and tell my son everything.Copy !req
1422. Everything I did. Everything you saw.Copy !req
1423. Because there's nothing that I detest
more than the stench of lies.Copy !req
1424. And if you understand me, Willard,
you will do this for me.Copy !req
1425. PBR Street Gang,
this is Almighty. Over.Copy !req
1426. PBR Street Gang, this is Almighty.
Standing by. Over.Copy !req
1427. PBR Street Gang, this is Almighty.
Standing by. How do you copy?Copy !req
1428. They were gonna
make me a Major for this,Copy !req
1429. and I wasn't even
in their fucking Army anymore.Copy !req
1430. Everybody wanted me to do it...Copy !req
1431. him most of all.Copy !req
1432. I felt like he was up there,
waiting for me to take the pain away.Copy !req
1433. He just wanted to go out like a soldier.Copy !req
1434. Standing up.Copy !req
1435. Not like some poor, wasted,
rag-assed renegade.Copy !req
1436. Even the jungle wanted him dead,Copy !req
1437. and that's who he really
took his orders from anyway.Copy !req
1438. "We train young men to drop fire
on people, but their commanders...Copy !req
1439. won't allow them to write 'Fuck!'
on their airplanesCopy !req
1440. because it's obscene!”Copy !req
1441. The horror.Copy !req
1442. The horror.Copy !req
1443. Calling PBR Street Gang.Copy !req
1444. PBR Street Gang, this is Almighty.
Do you read me? Over.Copy !req
1445. PBR Street Gang.Copy !req
1446. PBR Street Gang, this is Almighty...Copy !req
1447. The horror.Copy !req
1448. The horror.Copy !req
