Off Limits Page #6

Just wanna tell her it's all wrapped up

and say so long.

She was a good Joe.

Sister?

Lanh. The dancer we visited.

She was...

...killed last night.

How did it happen?

The same as the others.

Only this time he killed the child.

No, please.

I'm sorry, Sister.

I thought it was over.

You two will be picking up

where Perkins and McGriff left off.

I'll be working close with you

because now I'm pissed off.

The files of this mess are over at HQ.

Just get your asses

over there right now.

Son of a b*tch.

When did this come in, Dix?

About a half an hour after you left.

- Who are these guys?

- The new investigators.

- You guys are out of here.

- Not yet, we're not.

You miss that flight

and you are AWOL.

You got 40 goddamn minutes.

Come on, get.

Hey, take these two to Tan Son Nhut

and stick with them.

Goddamn it. Can't you see?

Someone sped up those orders

because of what we're working on.

That is either true or it is not.

In either case,

I'm the one that's gotta deal with it.

You are enlisted men and they can

put you in f***ing jail. Move them out!

I'm coming.

Oh, man, f*** them insect hookers.

I refuse to give a sh*t.

We weren't doing it for them.

We were doing it for us.

To give it all

some kind of f***ing meaning.

Leaving this place outside a plastic bag

is all the meaning I need.

Get down!

Hey. Hey.

Jesus.

I was hit.

Am I gonna be all right?

Am I gonna be all right?

I want... I wanna sit up.

I wanna sit up.

Jesus.

The little f*** is coming back.

He's coming back?

What's he coming back for?

- What's he coming back for?

- Get down!

What the f***

are you coming back for?

Hey! What you coming back for?

What the f***

are you coming back for?

You motherf***er.

Go ahead on.

Hey, they had a prisoner.

Just put it down.

- Clear the streets, Neil.

Spread out.

Get this gun out of here.

Come on, let's go. We're walking.

- You're dead now, you motherf***er.

Put him in the back.

I ain't dead.

F***ing gook motherf***er.

I'm talking to you.

What happened to you?

Somebody on our side tried to kill us.

I had no place to go.

What time is it?

It's almost 9.

How badly are you hurt?

I'm okay.

I'm worried about my partner.

I know where Nguyen is.

I have known.

I take her child to her

every two weeks.

Why didn't you tell us?

I was sworn to secrecy.

Where is she?

She is with the Vietcong near Cu Chi.

Will she talk to us

now that her sister's been killed?

She believes she will also be killed

if she comes to Saigon.

Can I go to her?

Why not, Sister?

You know these people.

You could tell them

what we're trying to do.

You're an American soldier. Do you have

any idea the hatred they have for you?

Doesn't anyone give a f***

but me and my partner?

Please, just hold me.

I'm sorry, Sister.

This world is so insane.

What a play!

UCLA with the ball again.

Alcindor's at the top of the key.

He wants it. He wants the ball.

He's got it!

Two men on him. Fakes left.

Oh, what a move!

That's the win.

He gets his own rebound.

He fakes again.

Gorillas the ball and two points.

Two points.

He's fouled on the play.

The crowd's going wild.

Big man's gotta make two.

Two to win the game.

He sets.

He shoots.

He misses.

Are you all right?

Nothing can hurt the big man.

How'd you get away?

Medics took off my cuffs.

Big man made a fast break...

...and he ran and he ran and he...

You didn't hurt anybody, did you?

Does big man wanna go for a ride?

Where?

Where we always been going.

Swish.

He says he can only get through

the checkpoints for a short time.

Sergeant McGriff?

I'll spit in your f***ing face.

All right. All right. Stop shoving me.

Stop shoving me. Sh*t.

I'm going.

Chickenshit motherf***er.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

We're gonna f***ing die down here.

Oh, my God.

Nguyen.

We've narrowed it down to two men.

Which one?

No here.

Now, you look at these pictures.

Look at these pictures. It's one of these.

- Just...

- No.

There.

This man here?

This man here? Lime Green.

Not Viet man.

GI here.

This picture old.

He colonel now.

Have ugly mark on arm.

Oh, man. Where the f***

we gonna find him now?

Oh, Jesus.

Sh*t.

He was an officer himself once,

you know.

He performed a series of heroic acts

back in Korea.

He was recommended

for a field commission...

...to the rank of second lieutenant.

But then his regimental commander

saw his...

His tattoo.

Very working class.

It so offended

his regimental commander...

...that his field commission

was never sent through.

I've sinned.

Hear my confession, Sister.

Like a priest.

Dix's regimental commander

was married to a Korean woman.

Typical.

Whore.

But he did love her.

Yeah, boy.

Killing her was the only way...

...to truly make him feel

the kind of pain that Dix felt...

...by being cheated

out of his commission.

There were a few more after that.

Pow. Pow.

Get out of the f***ing way!

Then he behaved.

For years, he behaved.

One dog-eared noncom barracks

after another.

They gotta be up top.

They gotta be.

Dix's pain wouldn't just go away...

...no matter how many whores

he killed.

Goddamn you!

If it wasn't for you,

they never would have found him.

Dix. Enough.

How did it go?

It was really beautiful.

You should have come in.

No, man.

I ain't into that voodoo sh*t.

California.

- You ever been there?

- Yeah.

- You?

- No.

Different.

You know who I got a letter from?

Who's that?

Remember that sweet thing...

...I met at the Memphis Pride?

With big tits and huge nipples?

So she writes me a letter

and she starts it off:

"My sweet Albaby...

...I love you too much."

- "Love you too much."

Peace.
