Get over here!

Oh, Richard.

Cathy, talk to Maria.

l gotta get Maria back.

Talk to Father Paul. She'll listen to him.

Richard, you're 42 years old. You're old

enough to be her father. Forget her.

- l'm in love with her!

- l love you, Richie.

Father Paul has to follow

the papal orders. There's...

Agh!

l hate that. l hate when you do that.

So much. l...

- What about your other wife and kid?

- She left me. She took my kid.

So what are you gonna do?

Bring Maria back to the States?

What's she gonna do up there, Richard?

Sell snow cones on Fisherman's Wharf?

Down here, she has a purpose,

she has a reason.

- ln gringo-land, she's a fish out of water.

- l know...

And besides, a**hole, you don't have

enough money to support her or your kid.

l need to talk to you about my whole life.

lt's such a mess. l'm disgusting!

Richard, what are you doing here?

- You're not making it as a journalist.

- l'll make it again.

l will make it... again.

The white hand has been

painted on the parish-house wall.

The altar boy is dead.

And the f***in' Peace Corps

has moved out.

l love it here.

l just can't go back.

l know. l love it here, too.

- Will you have dinner with me?

- No.

- Tomorrow night?

- No. l really can't.

Besides, you smell.

l gotta go to the airport tomorrow.

Two of the nuns are in from Nicaragua.

- Sometime?

- Maybe.

OK, you... you be careful

on that road to the airport, OK?

Yeah.

Wait a minute. l'll walk you to your car.

Merry Christmas, Richard.

- You be good.

- l will.

l don't trust you.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Oops.

Gringo.

What do you say you and l take

a walk down by the beach, gringo?

l'm not going to the beach with you.

And l'll tell you something else.

l'm not only a f***in' lrishman, l'm a...

l'm a f***in' Viking.

l'll take as many of these creeps

to f***in' Valhalla as l can!

Stop. l want this a**hole alive.

You got a big mouth, Boyle. Major Max

is the person for you. Come to the beach.

Come on, cocksucker! You're gonna have

to kill me. You ain't takin' me alive!

- Agh!

- Ahi, ahi, !meteIe una patada!

!Parate, puto irIandes!

You wanna play a f***in' game, Boyle?

Yeah.

OK. First l'll take your arms.

Then l'll take your legs.

Then l'll take your balls.

Sounds like a fun game?

!DejaIo! !DejaIo!

No esta en Ia cama.

OK, cocksuckers.

How do you like these odds, huh?

Por favor.

He's worthless.

You are an important man.

A photograph for me, please?

OK.

Gracias.

Bueno.

Enough!

Vamonos. Esto Io termino despues.

Gracias.

Boyle, l'll be back for you.

!Pinche gringo marihuano cabron!

Up yours, too, Jack.

There we go.

- How was Nicaragua?

- Oh, bad. There's no gasoline.

People have to line up

for hours to get their food.

The war has been very destructive.

But on the other hand, there's been no

political execution of the Somocistas.

l can't believe this. Looks like police.

Get your passports ready, sisters.

(siren)

We have done nothing.

l am a very good friend

of Ambassador Kelly.

You're going to be in a lot of trouble

when he hears about this.

The fiesta is just beginning, hey?

!Vamos!

The bodies of four American women,

missing since Tuesday,...

..were found here today

in a roadside grave...

..25 miles east of San Salvador.

The victims were identified as...

l just heard that five guards did it for

They got this clown, the mayor,

to sign the death certificates.

- Will he talk?

- Not if we can't keep him alive.

- What are the chances of that?

- Slim to none, and he knows it.

He had no business signing

death certificates without an autopsy.

l want one now, and l wanna know if

those bullets are rebel or government!

You knew Cathy pretty well, didn't you?

What do you think? Rumour has it

they may have run the roadblock,...

..and there was an exchange of gunfire.

- The doctors won't do it because they...

- They don't have the surgical mask.

OK, pal. OK. All right!

? Como puede ser

que no tienen sus mascaras?

l'm recommending we cut off all aid.

Sir, they were coming in from Managua.

They were Communist-oriented.

Maybe they got spooked at the roadblock.

Maybe they were packing,

and it got out of control.

Pistol-packing nuns, my ass!

l knew Cathy Moore.

You can't sell me that sh*t.

Sir, General Garcia has assured me

of a complete investigation.

That's great. We'll let the fox

investigate the chicken coop.

You must think l'm pretty stupid.

l know all about you. Reagan's little

transition team came here last month...

..to talk to Major Max without checking

in with me. lt's all going in my report.

Whatever you did, you gave a clear signal

to the Arana people, and it resulted in this.

We want to do a real in-depth

and sympathetic portrait.

For the first time,

our four armies are united.

We now control the northern third

of Chalatenango province in the west,...

..and Morazan province in the east.

We're asking government troops to join

our offensive, and the people to rise up.

We will take all major cities:

Santa Ana, San Vicente, San Miguel.

Then San Salvador will fall.

- When, Captain?

- Before Reagan.

Then you think you're ready?

With 4,000 troops, take all of El Salvador?

The odds are the Pentagon

won't let that happen, sir.

The will of the people and the march

of history cannot be changed.

Not even by the norteamericanos.

- What does it say?

- Leticia cleans her gun.

- Be careful on your way out of here.

- Don't worry. l've been doing this a while.

- Thanks, huh?

- OK. Bye-bye.

This doesn't show much.

l really stuck my neck out for you, Boyle.

You're not too popular around here.

Where were these taken?

l can't tell you that.

But it's mostly old stuff:

..shotguns, bolt-action rifles,

captured Belgian FLNs,...

..1 20 Mike-Mikes ripped off

government troops.

- Any antiaircraft stuff? Any SAMs?

- Nothing.

- Buenos dias, GuiIIermo.

- Buenos dias, Jorge.

OK, so what about it? How about

a ceduIa for my woman and her two kids?

There's not much here,

or you're not telling us everything.

- What about recoilless rifles, RPGs?

- They're in sh*t shape. They get nothing.

When are you gonna

believe what you see,...

..and not what intelligence

tells you to think?

We got AWACS, infrared, statements

from a defecting FRAN commandant,...

..and enough military intel to prove...

..that this ain't civil war,

but outright Commie aggression.

You guys have lied about

that from the beginning.

You have not presented one shred

of proof to the American public...

..that this is anything but

a legitimate peasant revolution.

So don't preach to me

about military intelligence.

Not after Chile and Vietnam.

l was there, remember?

- l personally resent that kind of sh*t.

- Then resent it, OK?

You lied about the number of advisors

here, about the trainers here on TDY,...

..about switching

''humanitarian'' assistance money...

..to Salvadoran military coffers.

You said this war can be
