can spare a litter.

Working on it, sir.

He says you're very kind.

Tell him if his people are afraid

that we'll go out and get them.

Captain MacDanial will take a patrol out

tomorrow morning and pick them up.

He says he'll deal with you alone.

He'll come with you and you only.

Tomorrow morning at sunrise, or never.

That's pretty positive.

Sunrise it is.

Here's another one.

Let's move out.

Freeze!

You suppose that old chief

was wearing more than one face?

I don't think so.

But we're sure going to

respect your hunch.

We'll back off to the river again...

...and make a detour.

Cut him down.

Do you want to hear the story, sir?

I know the story, but go ahead.

Charlie came at night

to take the young men.

Most of them listened

to the chief and refused to go.

They killed the chief.

And did this...

...as a reminder to anyone

who resisted them.

How many of them were there?

And where did they go?

Safe...

...across the border.

What happened to the little girl?

What did she say?

Five Viet Cong soldiers

took her in the jungle.

They didn't bring her back.

It's no use.

I'll do what has to be done.

It's pretty hard...

...to talk to anyone

about this country until they've...

...come over here and seen it.

The last village that I visited...

...they didn't kill the chief.

They tied him to a tree...

...brought his teenage daughters

out in front of him...

...and disemboweled them.

Then 40 of them...

...abused his wife.

And then they took a steel rod...

...broke every bone in her body.

Somewhere during the process she died.

These people need better medical care

than we can give them.

Where is Colonel Kirby?

I'll find him.

We've got 3 people who'll make it

if we get them to a hospital.

Send for my chopper,

I can take 3.

Coming along?

I'm staying.

I see them, Dai-uy.

Pardon me.

Weapons check in 30 minutes!

Fall out!

Our information checked out. Charlie's

building lots of caskets and ladders!

How far away?

About 15 clicks.

That gives us plenty to do

before they get here.

Restrict all operations

to within 4 clicks of the camp.

- Systems will be operational by dark?

- Affirmative.

May I suggest we contact "C" Team?

See about the weather.

What was all that

about ladders and coffins?

When Charlie knows he's got...

...a nice box to be buried in,

he's just as brave as hell.

The ladders?

They throw the ladders

across the wire to get at us.

Later they use them for litters.

By later you mean

when everybody's dead?

Everybody.

Women...

...children. Everybody.

Come on, Hamchunk.

You like?

What is there not to like?

Who is she?

Her name's Lin. Her father was chief

of the Hang Pham Province.

Until he refused to cooperate

with the Viet Cong.

- And then they killed him?

- They murdered him.

And her little brother.

In a most hideous way.

That's their style.

Besides being one of our top models...

...she could be most helpful

to our government.

Are you trying to tell me

something, Colonel?

That gentlemen seated with her?

He's a double agent.

He works for us

and for General Pham Son Ti.

Then tell me, Colonel...

...who will she be helpful to?

Colonel Morgan, there's

a big buildup around Camp A-107.

It could be the real thing.

They request Tac Air

and a flare ship. We're working on it.

That's fine.

Keep us informed.

Captain MacDanial had a word for you.

- What is it?

- Tabasco.

I've never known

Captain MacDanial to run scared.

I'd kind of like

to eyeball this situation.

Don't you get killed. I don't want

my plans for going home to be upset.

I'll give you full cooperation.

Good night.

You didn't get a chance

to give him the whole story.

I'll arrange another meeting.

Kill that light!

You better check

the gun placements again.

I'm going to have a look-see.

Over there.

A heavy concentration to the south.

Let's see what

Starlight-Starbright has to say.

That's a ruse.

Kowalski, MacDanial,

pass the word. Quietly.

Strengthen the north wall.

I repeat...

...strengthen the north wall.

Out.

Every third man,

north wall, quietly.

Every third man, north wall.

We had better inform the mortar crew.

Pit one.

Pit two.

Pit three.

Zero in on the village,

four rounds, AG. Fire on order.

- What's this?

- You know what it is. Stay here.

- Alone?

- No, you've got your pal.

Now, don't get out of there

until I tell you.

You get down there!

You stay quiet!

- Been assigned to your position?

- No, I haven't.

You better come with me.

Right front, 200.

Get some AG. We'll be dropping it

pretty close so make it charge seven.

- Level?

- Check.

Everything copacetic?

Ready to fire.

Hit the bunker!

Fire!

- The lieutenant?

- He's gone.

- I was just talking...

- Forget it.

Hang!

Fire!

It's on target.

Pit one. You're right on.

Give them 3 rounds of WP.

We're on target.

Three more rounds. Hang!

Fire!

That's what it's all about,

Mr. Beckworth.

You going to referee or help us?

How?

Give the sergeant a hand!

I'll take them.

Hang!

Fire!

This is Bulldog.

I've got the picture.

The Mike Force is right behind me.

We'll try and make it in before sunrise.

Bulldog, this is Two-Niner Savoy.

This is no harassment, sir.

It's the real McCoy.

They're storming the wire right now.

Bulldog, do you read...

It's us.

Check those generators.

That's got to be Bulldog.

Bulldog!

This is Savoy Six. Over.

Hello, Savoy Six, this is Bulldog.

The Mike Force is...

Savoy Eight,

this is Savoy Six. Over.

- This is Savoy Eight.

- This is Savoy Six.

Bulldog's somewhere near you.

Can you get to him?

Savoy Eight.

We saw it.

We're on him. Out.

Let's go.

Damn.

Bulldog!

Hit the deck!

- This man needs attention.

- Medic!

Machine guns are positioned

around LZ green.

Get this man down the hill.

Charlie's got all

landing zones covered.

Mike Force is coming behind us.

We've got to secure one of them.

Why not this one?

Let's move out.

Bring in the dependents.

Here, dog.

Fire!

Skipper's worried about the inner

perimeter. Can you close the breach?

That just fits our pistol. We got

a little machine that can do that.

Let's get them, Seabees!

Come on!

Take over!

Medic!

Hit the phoogas!

Petersen!

Going back to the commo bunker!

Yeah. I'll be right with you!

He was all you had, wasn't he?

You don't have anybody else

in the whole world, do you?

Except you.

Let's get the hell out of here!

We can't hold out any longer!

We're leaving!

Let's go!

Pit One!

- Pit One, Roger.

- Fall back and destroy the tube.

Orders to fall back.

Let's get the hell out of here!

Troop one, we're moving back.

Let's go!

You heard him, move out!

Medic!

- Can you walk?

- Get me on my feet and I can run!

Sir, the Mike Force is all in.

Savoy Six, this is Bulldog.

Over.

This is Savoy Six.

Go ahead, Bulldog.

Mike Force is on the ground.

We're on our way in.

We'll try and make it in

before the damn sun comes up.

Will keep you informed.
