Braddock Missing in Action III Page #2

It's been a long time.

Oh, you can do it.

I tell you...

it's a lot calmer up here...

than it is in your automobile.

You know, when we get

to the drop zone...

I'm gonna pull her

up into a climb...

and you'll have

about five seconds...

to make the drop before

I put her into a dive.

I'll need ten seconds.

Well, if you're a good boy,

I'll give you ten seconds.

Vietnam.

I never thought

I'd be coming back.

I guess we never really

can leave, can we?

Aw, come on.

Get your ass back there.

I'll take it.

OK, Braddock.

You got thirty seconds.

Good luck, mother.

See you in hell,

you crazy bastard.

Come on!

Let us each give thanks

in our own way.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Thank you, Father,

wise and good...

for home and friends

and daily food.

Bless, dear Lord,

the food we take...

and keep us all...

Oh, my God.

And keep us all home and safe.

Amen.

Please start without me.

I'll be right back.

Braddock.

How on earth did you get here?

Where's my wife?

She doesn't live very far.

Can you tell me

how to get there?

I'll take you there.

Here. Wear this.

There's a curfew.

We must be very careful.

I tried to tell you

how bad it was.

You'd better go, Reverend.

And thanks.

Good luck. God bless you.

I didn't know.

I thought you were...

It's not important.

I prayed you would

come for us...

and you are here.

That is all that matters

to Van and I.

This is your son, Jim.

Hello, Van.

I speak English, Braddock.

For years, he dreamed about you.

Sometimes, in very

difficult moments...

I would find him

talking to you...

as if you were there...

and somehow you would

make things right for him...

but one day,

he stopped believing.

I tried to keep you

alive in his heart.

I tried.

I guess I know

how you feel, Van...

thinking that I deserted

you and your mother...

but... I want you

to know that...

Van, please.

If I had known that you

and your mother were alive...

there's nothing in the world...

that would have stopped me

from coming for you before now.

You've suffered so much.

I know I have changed, Jim.

I'm sorry I'm no longer

pretty for you.

You'll always be

beautiful to me.

We have to go now.

We are ready.

Let me check the street first.

Van, hurry.

Come on.

Hurry, hurry.

The boat's right down there.

It might be a tight squeeze...

but I think you're going

to enjoy the ride, Van.

If you say so, Braddock.

Please be patient.

We've only had each other

for twelve years...

and now...

it is very difficult for him.

He will need some time.

We have all the time

in the world.

I love you very much,

Jim Braddock.

I think I should talk

to our son for a moment.

I'll go get the boat ready.

Van.

Everything will be all right.

You don't care about me now.

You only care about HIM.

That is not true.

It was our love that

brought you into this world.

Your father loves you as I do.

If you will only

give him a chance.

Please try, Van.

I'm very scared.

I know you are...

but once we get to America...

everything will be better.

I promise.

Your father promises.

Lin, we have to

get out of here.

Hurry!

Foolish.

You're in Nam.

Very foolish to come back.

I am General Quoc.

How do you do, Madam Braddock?

And yoi.

And this must be your son Van.

Very good-looking boy.

When I received the report...

that a strange-looking boat

had outrun my gunboats...

and heading towards

Ho Chi Minh city...

I took the privilege...

of assuming it was you,

Colonel Braddock...

since Reverend Polanski

had just returned...

from your country...

but now...

Braddock...

you must pay for the crimes

that you have committed...

against my beloved country.

They have nothing

to do with this.

You are absolutely right.

No!

Ma!

You will find your first test...

quite challenging.

Usually, we use people

who are...

a little bit taller.

I have tested

many before, Braddock...

and no one has lasted

even an hour.

Maybe you can be the first, eh?

I'll do whatever you want.

Just let the boy go.

You will do what I want anyways.

Well done.

Well done, Colonel Braddock.

You are every bit as tough

as your reputation.

I like that.

You have not disappointed

me, Braddock.

No!

This has gone on long enough.

No!

Van!

I'm in here!

Come on! Come on!

Can you make it?

Yeah.

Go to the mission.

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Where is Braddock?

I don't know where

Braddock is, General.

You lie, priest. You lie!

We know you helped Braddock!

I? You must be mistaken.

You lie!

Perhaps a change

of environment...

will help you

to think more clearly!

Take him!

Please, no.

I can't leave my children.

They need me!

Of course!

I would not want

to separate you...

from your half-breed

American bastard children!

Take them all!

Priest, your new home

will be Olaha prison!

Don't! Don't!

Don't!

No! No!

Stop!

Stop!

Kids! In the truck!

Van!

Where's the Reverend?

I know! I get him, Braddock!

Come on, Reverend.

Thank God, Braddock!

Protect yourself!

Reverend, get the kids

out of here!

Out! Hurry! Hurry!

We must get away

from the truck!

Hurry up, Braddock! Here!

Get down, Reverend!

It's OK.

Ninety kilometers to the border.

You don't expect

these children...

to walk ninety kilometers!

I don't expect

a damn thing, Reverend.

But walk or crawl,

we're gonna make it.

Come on, kids.

Come on, Reverend.

Braddock...

Braddock...

the children are dead tired.

We must stop to rest.

Please, Braddock.

They are not very strong.

Wait here.

Reverend. Reverend!

Bring the kids.

Hurry.

Come. Come, children.

Quiet. Be quiet.

Come, children. Hurry. Hurry.

Come, children.

Be careful. Be careful.

Don't hurt yourselves.

Come.

Go. Go.

Come on, kids. Hurry!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry up!

Thomas!

Hurry!

Sit down and hold on.

Damn it.

Braddock, get back, you bastard!

Come on!

Hold on!

Braddock! I will kill you...

and I will burn

those filthy children!

Hold on.

Oh, my God.

Get back there

with the kids, Reverend.

It's gonna get rough.

It's going to get rough.

Mayday. Mayday.

This is

Colonel James Braddock...

calling American Military

Assistance Command.

Come in.

Mayday. Mayday.

Here. Take a seat.

Mayday. Mayday.

This is Colonel Braddock.

I'm in a crippled C-47.

I have a planeload

of Amerasian children.

Losing fuel.

I'm approximately eighty miles

east of the Thai border.

If anyone can hear me,

please transfer this message...

to the American Military

Assistance Command.

Is everyone OK back there?

Are you OK?

Yeah. I fine.

How you?

I'm fine, too.

Reverend! We're going down!

Children! Get down!

Hold on! Hold on!

We're gonna die!

Just hold on!

Van.

Come on, Van.

Help the kids.

Everybody down.

Reverend.

My God.

Braddock, there's the border.

As soon as I take

the guards out...

you get the kids

over the bridge...

as fast as you can.

Did you hear what I said?

On my way over here...

I was wondering

what you would be like.

I want you to know...
