I hope I can see them off before I go.

I'll do my best.

I'll need some cash too.

I have some. You can have it tomorrow.

You're still with us?

For three more days.

Thank you for all your hospitality.

You're an artist.

All artists are our friends.

I have to leave myself.

Remember that time you wanted

to take my photo?

You can do it now.

I don't have my camera.

You wanted a photo of my scar.

I'm sure my photo

would make your collection more popular.

Comrade Nguyen, congratulations.

You've been appointed

Commander of the N.E.Z. At Mao Nam.

The car is waiting. Let's go.

Let me get dressed.

Why bother, you look fine as you are.

"There are scents as fresh as

the flesh of children"

"And others, rich, triumphant,

that reek of decay"

We are true comrade, you and me.

Mr. Akutagawa, to be

a true revolutionary...

you must reject

petty-bourgeois emotions!

You have three more days here.

Right, I came here to say Goodbye.

Goodbye!

Goodbye, Akutagawa-san.

If you see To Minh,

tell him not to forget the bar

in New Orleans.

I'll be working till I'm 70.

I will.

I'm frightened, Sister. Hold me!

What's that, Uncle?

Diesel oil. Can you lift it?

I'm not strong enough.

You'll have to eat more then, won't you?

You'll need these papers for the boat.

And you'll need this US money.

Keep it safe.

The boat you're on is very reliable.

They asked you to bring

one can of diesel.

I'll take it for you.

Second Brother, do you like the way

your sister sings?

Yes!

Ask her to sing again.

Sing it again, Sister.

Stop! Who's there?

- Stop... - Don't go...

Run to the boat. Now!

Over there.

Who are you?

I'm Japanese.

What are you doing here? Your ID?

What are you doing out this late?

I couldn't sleep,

Comrade.

I've been here a month

but I can't find a woman?

Mr. Akutagawa, this is not

a safe district.

It's very late. You'd better go back

to your hotel.

Papers, Okay, where's your diesel oil?

It's coming, right behind us.

You can't go without it.

Don't block the way.

Papers!

Stop running!

Sail!

Get aboard!

Cast off!
