(83) Stand underneath this, Captain
(84) I was going to the worst place in the world
(85) and I didn't even know it yet
(86) Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river
(87) that snaked through the war like a main circuit cable
(88) plugged straight into Kurtz
(89) It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker
(90) of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz's memory
(91) any more than being back in Saigon was an accident
(92) There is no way to tell his story without telling my own
(93) If his story is really a confession
(94) Captain Willard reporting, sir Then so is mine
(95) Captain. Good. Come on in Thank you, sir
(96) Stand at ease General
(97) You want a cigarette
(98) No, thank you, sir

(101) Not personally
(102) You've worked a lot on your own Yes, sir, I have
(103) Your report specifies intelligence
(104) counterintelligence with Com-Sec, "l" Corps
(105) I'm not presently disposed to discuss those operations, sir
(106) Did you not work for the CIA in "l" Corps
(107) No, sir
(108) Did you not assassinate a government tax collector
(109) Quang Tri Province June 18, 1968
(110) Captain
(111) Sir, I am unaware of any such activity or operation
(112) nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation
(113) if it did in fact, exist, sir
(114) I thought we'd have a bite of lunch while we talk
(115) I hope you brought a good appetite, Captain
(116) I notice that you have a bad hand there. You wounded
(117) I had a little fishing accident on R and R, sir
(118) Fishing on R and R Yes, sir
(119) But you're feeling fit You're ready for duty
(120) Yes, General Very much so, sir
(121) Well, let's see what we have here roast beef, and usually it's not bad
(122) Try some, Jerry and pass it around
(123) To save a little time we might pass both ways
(124) Captain, I don't know how you feel about this shrimp
(125) but if you'll eat it
(126) you'll never have to prove your courage in any other way
(127) I swear, why don't I just take a piece here
(128) Captain, you've heard of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz
(129) Yes, sir I've heard the name
(130) Oh, Jesus! Operations officer Fifth Special Forces
(131) Luke, would you play that tape for the captain, please
(132) Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir Listen to this carefully, Captain
(133) October 9, 0430 hours sector Peter, Victor, King
(134) These were monitored out of Cambodia
(135) This has been verified as Col. Kurtz's voice
(136) I watched a snail
(137) crawl along the edge of a straight razor
(138) That's my dream
(139) That's my nightmare
(140) Crawling, slithering
(141) along the edge
(142) of a straight razor
(143) and surviving
(144) Transmission 11, received 68, December 30, 0500 hours
(145) Sector King, Zulu, King
(146) But we must kill them
(147) We must incinerate them
(148) Pig after pig
(149) Cow after cow
(150) Village after village Army after army
(151) And they call me an assassin
(152) What do you call it when the assassins accuse the assassin
(153) They lie. They lie and we have to be merciful
(154) for those who lie
(155) Those nabobs
(156) I hate them
(157) I do hate them
(158) Walt Kurtz was one of the most outstanding officers
(159) this country's ever produced
(160) He was brilliant He was outstanding in every way
(161) And he was a good man, too a humanitarian man
(162) A man of wit and humor
(163) He joined the Special Forces
(164) And after that his
(165) ideas, methods
(166) became
(167) unsound
(168) Unsound
(169) Now he's crossed into Cambodia with this
(170) Montagnard army of his that worship
(171) the man like a god
(172) and follow every order however ridiculous
(173) Well, I have some other shocking news to tell you
(174) Col. Kurtz was about to be arrested for murder
(175) I don't follow, sir Murdered who
(176) Kurtz had ordered the execution of some Vietnamese intelligence agents
(177) men he believed were double agents
(178) So he took matters into his own hands
(179) Well, you see, Willard
(180) in this war, things get confused out there
(181) Power, ideals the old morality
(182) and practical military necessity
(183) But out there with these natives
(184) it must be a temptation to
(185) be God
(186) Because there's a conflict in every human heart
(187) between the rational and the irrational
(188) between good and evil
(189) and good does not always triumph
(190) Sometimes
(191) the dark side
(192) overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature
(193) Every man has got a breaking point
(194) You and I have them
(195) Walt Kurtz has reached his
(196) And very obviously he has gone insane
(197) Yes, sir. Very much so, sir Obviously insane
(198) Your mission is to proceed up the Nung River in a navy patrol boat
(199) pick up Col. Kurtz's path at Nu Mung Ba
(200) follow it, learn what you can along the way
(201) When you find the colonel infiltrate his team by
(202) whatever means available and terminate the colonel's command
(203) Terminate the colonel
(204) He's out there operating without any decent restraint
(205) totally beyond the pale of any acceptable
(206) human conduct
(207) and he is still on the field commanding troops
(208) Terminate with extreme prejudice
(209) You understand, Captain that this mission
(210) does not exist nor will it ever exist
(211) How many people had I already killed
(212) There were those six that I knew about for sure
(213) close enough to blow their last breath in my face
(214) But this time it was an American
(215) and an officer
(216) That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me
(217) but it did
(218) Shit. Charging a man with murder in this place
(219) was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500
(220) I took the mission What the hell else was I gonna do
(221) But I really didn't know what I'd do when I found him
(222) Did you check the tank Yeah
(223) I was being ferried down the coast in a navy PBR
(224) a type of plastic patrol boat a pretty common sight on the rivers
(225) They said it was a good way to pick up information and move
(226) without drawing a lot of attention, and that was okay
(227) I needed the air and the time
(228) Only problem was I wouldn't be alone
(229) Mornin', Captain
(230) The crew were mostly just kids
(231) rock and rollers with one foot in their graves
(232) How old are you Seventeen
(233) The machinist... the one they called Chef... was from New Orleans
(234) He was wrapped too tight for Vietnam
(235) Probably wrapped too tight for New Orleans
(236) Lance, on the forward fifties
(237) was a famous surfer from the beaches south of L.A
(238) To look at him, you wouldn't believe he'd ever fired a weapon in his life
(239) Clean... Mr. Clean... was from some South Bronx shit-hole
(240) and I think the light and the space of Vietnam
(241) really put the zap on his head
(242) Then there was Phillips the chief
(243) It might have been my mission, but it sure as shit was the chief�s boat
(244) There's about two points where we can draw enough water
(245) to get into the Nung River
(246) They're both hot Belong to Charlie
(247) Don't worry about it
(248) Don't smoke
(249) You know, I've pulled a few special ops in here
(250) About six months ago
(251) I took a man who was going up past the bridge at Do Lung
(252) He was regular army too
(253) Heard he shot himself in the head
(254) At first I thought they handed me the wrong dossier
(255) I couldn't believe they wanted this man dead
(256) Third-generation West Point top of his class
(257) Korea, Airborne about a thousand decorations
(258) Et cetera, et cetera
(259) I'd heard his voice on the tape and it really put the hook in me
(260) but I couldn't connect up that voice with this man
(261) Like they said he had an impressive career
(262) Maybe too impressive I mean, perfect
(263) He was being groomed for one of the top slots in the corporation
(264) general, chief of staff anything
(265) In 1964, he returned from a tour with Advisory Command in Vietnam
(266) and things started to slip
(267) His report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff
(268) and Lyndon Johnson was restricted
(269) Seems they didn't dig what he had to tell them
(270) During the next few months, he made three requests for transfer
(271) to Airborne training, Fort Benning Georgia, and was finally accepted
(272) Airborne
(273) He was 38 years old
(274) Why the fuck would he do that
(275) 1966, joins Special Forces
(276) returns to Vietnam
(277) Hey, what's that
(278) Arc light What's up
(279) B-52 strike Yeah
(280) What's that Arc light
(281) I hate that. Every time I hear that something terrible happens
(282) Charlie don't never see 'em or hear 'em, man
(283) There they are
(284) Concussion will suck the air out of your damn lungs
(285) Something terrible is gonna happen
(286) Smoke! Secondary burning
(287) Hueys over there. Lots of Hueys
(288) Let's have a look, Chief
(289) It was the Air-Cav First of the Ninth

(291) our escorts to the mouth of the Nung River
(292) But they were supposed to be waiting for us another 30 kilometers ahead
(293) Well, Air Mobile Those boys just couldn't stay put
(294) Hey, kid, come on Get down. Come on
(295) First of the Ninth was an old cavalry division
(296) that had cashed in its horses for choppers
(297) and gone tear-assing around Nam looking for the shit
(298) They'd given Charlie a few surprises in their time here

(626) That would be just fine with the boys on the boat
(627) They weren't looking for anything more than a way home
(628) Captain Trouble is, I'd been back there
(629) and I knew that it just didn't exist any more
(630) Buddha time. Here
(631) All right, that's great you motherfuckers. Yeah
(632) If that's how Kilgore fought the war
(633) I began to wonder what they really had against Kurtz
(634) It wasn't just insanity and murder
(635) There was enough of that to go around for everyone
(636) I mean, he never was hurtin' for pussy
(637) I'm not here. I'm walking through the jungle gathering mangos
(638) I meet Raquel Welch
(639) I make a nice mango cream pudding
(640) You know, kind of spread it around on us
(641) She's into mangos too
(642) She's like one limb above me
(643) We're both in the jungle here nude Hey, Chief
(644) Yeah Here comes that colonel guy again
(645) You know how hard it is to find a board you like
(646) I will not hurt or harm you
(647) I will not hurt or harm you
(648) Just give me back the board, Lance
(649) It was a good board and I like it

(652) I will not hurt or harm you
(653) Just give me back the board, Lance
(654) It was a good board and I like it
(655) You know how hard it is to find a board you like
(656) I will not hurt or harm you Jesus Christ
(657) That guy's too fuckin' much, man
(658) Do you think he would have shot us
(659) He wouldn't have shot us on the beach
(660) but he would have shot us if he saw me taking his board
(661) Let's go surfin' now Everybody's learnin' how
(662) Let's get this board out of my turret
(663) Sucker
(664) How am I going to shoot him the next time he comes around
(665) Hey, Chef, make some room back there for the board
(666) Sock it to me, Lance
(667) I wonder if that's the same chopper
(668) He's probably got them all over the river with that recording
(669) We'll have to hold up here till dark, Chief
(670) Don't worry, Lance He won't follow us too far
(671) What makes you say that
(672) You think that big Cav colonel wants everyone upriver
(673) to know we stole his board
(674) I didn't steal it
(675) Captain Hmm
(676) Just how far up this river we goin
(677) It's classified, Chief I can't tell ya
(678) We're goin' up pretty far
(679) Is it gonna be hairy
(680) I don't know, kid Yeah, probably
(681) You like it like that, Captain when it's hot, hairy
(682) Fuck
(683) Maybe you'll get a chance to know
(684) what the fuck you are in some factory in Ohio
(685) Hey, Chief, I'm gonna go get those mangos now, okay
(686) Take somebody with ya Yeah, I'll take
(687) I'll go with him
(688) Chef
(689) Yes, sir How come they call you that
(690) Call me what, sir Chef
(691) Because you like mangos and stuff No, sir, I'm a real chef
(692) I'm a saucier Saucier
(693) Yes, sir See, I come from New Orleans
(694) I was raised to be a saucier a great saucier
(695) What's a saucier You specialize in sauces
(696) Gotta be a mango tree here somewhere
(697) Then, I was supposed to go to Paris
(698) study at the Escoffier school
(699) But then I got orders for my physical
(700) Hell, I joined the navy
(701) Heard they had better food
(702) Cook school... that did it
(703) Yeah, how's that You don't wanna hear about that
(704) They lined us up in front of a hundred yards of prime rib
(705) All of us, you know lined up lookin' at it
(706) Magnificent meat. Really Beautifully marbled
(707) Next thing, they're throwing the meat into these big cauldrons
(708) all of it... boiling it
(709) I looked inside, man It was turning grey
(710) I couldn't fucking believe that one
(711) That's when I applied for radioman school, but then they gave me
(712) What is it
(713) Charlie
(714) It's a tiger
(715) Son of a bitch It's a tiger, man! It's a tiger
(716) Battle stations Lance, up front

(719) Captain, come on Let's hop in and go
(720) Let's go
(721) You were right Never get out of the boat
(722) Bring that 60 forward Why never get out of the boat

(724) Never get out of the boat
(725) How many is it A fuckin' tiger
(726) What A tiger
(727) Yes! I've had it! I've had the whole goddam fuckin' shit, man
(728) You can kiss my ass on the county square
(729) because I'm fuckin' buggin' out
(730) I didn't come here for this
(731) I don't fuckin' need it I don't want it
(732) I didn't get out the goddam eighth grade for this kind of shit
(733) All I wanted to do was fuckin' cook
(734) I just wanted to learn to fuckin' cook, man
(735) You're all right What happened, bro

(739) Hi, tiger! Bye, tiger Goodbye
(740) Never get out of the boat
(741) Absolutely goddam right
(742) unless you were going all the way
(743) Kurtz got off the boat
(744) He split from the whole fuckin' programme
(745) How did that happen
(746) What did he see here that first tour
(747) Thirty-eight fucking years old
(748) If you joined the Green Berets
(749) there was no way you'd ever get above colonel
(750) Kurtz knew what he was giving up
(751) The more I read and began to understand
(752) the more I admired him
(753) His family and friends couldn't understand it
(754) and they couldn't talk him out of it
(755) He had to apply three times and he put up with a ton of shit
(756) But when he threatened to resign, they gave it to him
(757) The next youngest guy in his class was half his age
(758) They must have thought he was some far-out old man
(759) humping it over that course
(760) I did it when I was 19 It damn near wasted me
(761) A tough motherfucker
(762) He finished it
(763) He could have gone for general
(764) but he went for himself instead
(765) Dear Eva
(766) Today was really a new one
(767) Almost got eaten alive by a fuckin' tiger
(768) Really un-fucking believable you know
(769) We're taking this guy Captain Willard, up the river
(770) but he hasn't told us yet where we're taking him
(771) Come on, baby
(772) Thought you might have heard by now from Elwood
(773) October 1967 On special assignment
(774) Kontoom Province, II Corps
(775) Kurtz staged Operation Archangel with combined local forces
(776) Rated a major success
(777) He received no official clearance
(778) He just thought it up and did it
(779) What balls
(780) They were gonna nail his ass to the floorboards for that one
(781) But after the press got a hold of it
(782) they promoted him to full colonel instead
(783) Oh, man, the bullshit piled up so fast in Vietnam
(784) You needed wings to stay above it
(785) This sure enough is a bizarre sight in the middle of this shit
(786) Expecting us this time
(787) Damned if I know
(788) Hello. Hello

(874) Charlie didn't get much USO
(875) He was dug in too deep or moving too fast
(876) His idea of great R and R was cold rice and a little rat meat
(877) He had only two ways home
(878) death or victory
(879) No wonder Kurtz put a weed up Command's ass
(880) The war was being run by a bunch of four-star clowns
(881) who were gonna end up giving the whole circus away
(882) Hey, you know, man that was far-fucking-out
(883) I collected every picture of her since she was Miss December, Chief
(884) Hey, Clean, look at that She was here, man
(885) I even wrote to the cunt She didn't write me back
(886) You can really get hung up on these broads, man
(887) just like that cat in the delta
(888) Yeah, you better believe it What cat
(889) The one that went up for murder He was an army sergeant
(890) Remember? This cat, man He really dug his Playboy,  man

(892) When the thing arrived he was there to meet it, man
(893) Look at these beautiful fuckin' jugs, man
(894) Yeah, so anyway he was workin' ARVN patrols
(895) One of them cocky gook asshole lieutenants and shit
(896) One day the gook took his magazine and wouldn't give it back
(897) He said, "Give me my magazine back
(898) Gook say, "You shut up I have you court-martialed
(899) Typical fuckin' ARVN Yeah
(900) Then the gook starts to go too far Chef. Take the wheel
(901) This dude started to stick pinholes in the lady's tits
(902) Take the wheel
(903) He started sticking pinholes and mutilating the centerfold
(904) The sergeant said You better not do that to her
(905) You leave your shitty little gook hands off of that girl
(906) Don't do her like that
(907) Gook say "Fuck you" in Vietnamese Damn
(908) The sergeant couldn't handle it no more
(909) He just picked up his iron
(910) flipped it to rock and roll and
(911) Boom
(912) Gave that little zero a long burst straight through the Playboy mag
(913) It blew his ass clean off of the dock
(914) There wasn't no more lieutenant that day. That was it for his ass
(915) They burn him for it The sergeant? Yeah, man
(916) They stuck his ass in the LBJ
(917) It's too bad he didn't get no medals or nothin
(918) Fuckin' ARVN, man
(919) They should have killed the fuck
(920) Should have given the fucker a Silver Star
(921) Bummer for the gook though ain't it
(922) Good morning, Vietnam
(923) I'm Army Specialist Zack Johnson on AMVN
(924) It's about 82 degrees in downtown Saigon right now, also very humid
(925) We have an important message for all GI's
(926) who are living off base from the mayor of Saigon
(927) He'd like you to hang your laundry up indoors
(928) instead of on the windowsills
(929) The mayor wants you to keep Saigon beautiful
(930) Now here's another blast from the past going out to Big Sam
(931) who's all alone out there with the 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry
(932) and dedicated by the fire team to their groovy CO
(933) The Rolling Stones, "Satisfaction All right
(934) Watch out, Clean
(935) Get down, bubba
(936) I can't get no
(937) Satisfaction
(938) Hang on, Lance
(939) I can't get no
(940) Satisfaction
(941) Cause I try and I try
(942) Get down, bubba And I try and I try
(943) I can't get no
(944) I can't get no
(945) Yeah
(946) When I'm drivin' in my car
(947) And the man comes on the radio Tell 'em you did it, Lance
(948) He's tellin' me more and more
(949) I see you is right on target About useless information
(950) Work out! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah All right
(951) Look out, Lance
(952) That's what I say
(953) Commitment and Counterinsurgency
(954) by Col. Walter E. Kurtz
(955) As long as our officers and troops perform
(956) tours of duty limited to one year
(957) they will remain dilettantes in war and tourists in Vietnam
(958) As long as cold beer hot food, rock and roll
(959) and all the other amenities remain the expected norm
(960) our conduct of the war will gain only impotence
(961) We need fewer men, and better
(962) If they were committed this war could be won
(963) with a fourth of our present force
(964) Shit. Chicken time
(965) You ain't shittin', bro They're motherfuckin
(966) Who is that
(967) Is that you, Lazzaro
(968) Don't chicken out
(969) Lazzaro
(970) Come on
(971) Fire on the canopy I got it! Get outta there
(972) Yeah! I got it I got it! I got it
(973) Lance, get down
(974) Put that fucker out, man
(975) What the fuck they think they're doin
(976) Late summer, autumn 1968
(977) Kurtz's patrols in the highlands coming under frequent ambush
(978) The camp started falling apart
(979) November
(980) Kurtz orders assassination of three Vietnamese men and one woman
(981) Two of the men were colonels in the South Vietnamese army
(982) Enemy activity in his old sector dropped off to nothing
(983) Guess he must have hit the right four people
(984) He joined the Special Forces After that his
(985) The army tried one last time to bring him back into the fold
(986) Methods If he'd pulled over
(987) It all would have been forgotten Unsound
(988) But he kept going
(989) Now he's crossed into Cambodia He kept winning it his way
(990) With this Montagnard army of his And they called me in
(991) Man like a god and follow every order, however ridiculous
(992) They lost him
(993) He was gone
(994) Nothing but rumors and random intelligence
(995) mostly from captured VC
(996) The VC knew his name by now and they were scared of him
(997) He and his men were playing hit-and-run
(998) all the way into Cambodia
(999) I know what I'm doin
(1000) I'm goin' to the White House to have dinner
(1001) with the president of the United States
(1002) That's where I'm goin
(1003) Hey, Chef put the cover on that
(1004) Clean
(1005) How long has that kid been on this boat
(1006) Seven months
(1007) He's really specializing in busting my balls
(1008) Very possible, Captain he thinks the same of you
(1009) Oh, yeah? What do you think, Chief I don't think
(1010) My orders say I'm not supposed to know where I'm taking this boat
(1011) so I don't
(1012) But one look at you, and I know it's gonna be hot, wherever it is
(1013) We're going upriver about 75 clicks above the Do Lung Bridge
(1014) That's Cambodia, Captain That's classified
(1015) We're not supposed to be in Cambodia but that's where I'm going
(1016) You just get me close to my destination
(1017) and I'll cut you and the crew loose
(1018) All right, Captain
(1019) Dear Son
(1020) I'm afraid that both you and your mother will have been worried
(1021) at not hearing from me during the past weeks
(1022) but my situation here has become a difficult one
(1023) I have been officially accused of murder by the army
(1024) The alleged victims were four Vietnamese double agents
(1025) We spent months uncovering them and accumulating evidence
(1026) When absolute proof was completed we acted... we acted like soldiers
(1027) The charges are unjustified
(1028) They are, in fact, and in the circumstances of this conflict
(1029) quite completely insane
(1030) In a war, there are many moments for compassion and tender action
(1031) There are many moments for ruthless action
(1032) what is often called ruthless
(1033) but may in many circumstances be only clarity
(1034) seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it
(1035) Medevac, come in directly
(1036) Quickly, awake Alpha, Tango, Tango, Echo, Tango, Alpha
(1037) Looking at it Request dust-off
(1038) Three, maybe four KIA 's. Over
(1039) I trust you to tell your mother what you choose about this letter
(1040) As for the charges against me I am unconcerned
(1041) Medevac, come in
(1042) I am beyond their timid, lying morality, and so I am beyond caring
(1043) Medevac, do you read? Over
(1044) You have all my faith Your loving father
(1045) Jesus
(1046) No wonder I couldn't get 'em on the radio

(1404) Jim, it's here It really is here
(1405) There has been a new development regarding your mission
(1406) which we must now communicate to you
(1407) Months ago, a man was ordered on a mission which was identical to yours
(1408) We have reason to believe that he is now operating with Col. Kurtz
(1409) Saigon was carrying him MIA for his family's sake
(1410) but they assumed he was dead
(1411) Then they intercepted a letter he tried to send to his wife
(1412) Captain Richard Colby
(1413) He was with Kurtz
(1414) Disneyland
(1415) Fuck, man, this is better than Disneyland
(1416) Charles Miller Manson ordered the slaughter of all in the home
(1417) anyway as a symbol of protest
(1418) That's really weird ain't it
(1419) Purple haze. Look, man Hey, Lance, put away that smoke

(1425) Oh, hot potato hot potato
(1426) I'm so glad you decided to join the navy
(1427) Eva's not sure she can have a relationship with me, you know
(1428) Here I am 13,000 fucking miles away
(1429) trying to keep a relationship with my ass
(1430) That's much more than I can say for some of your friends
(1431) If this tape is any good
(1432) I will have Dad and the family send you a tape of their own
(1433) Fuckers

(1447) And then when your wife get 'em back she'll be mad with me
(1448) Even Aunt Jessie and Mama
(1449) will come to celebrate your coming home
(1450) Granny and Dad are trying to get enough money to get you a car
(1451) but don't tell 'em because that's our secret

(1466) Stand fast. Captain
(1467) All right, you men Put down your weapons
(1468) We lost one of our men
(1469) We French always pay respect to the dead of our allies
(1470) You're all welcome
(1471) My name is Hubert DeMarais
(1472) This is my family's plantation
(1473) It has been such for 70 years
(1474) And it will be such until we are all dead
(1475) Captain, accept the flag of Tyrone Miller
(1476) on behalf of a grateful nation
(1477) This food is really wonderful isn't it? The wine, the sauces
(1478) I can't believe it Hey, can I speak with the chef
(1479) The chef speak only Vietnamese
(1480) No kidding? He cooks like this and he can't even speak French
(1481) Hey, Lance the chef's a slope
(1482) This is Baudelaire It's a very cruel poem for children
(1483) But they need it, 'cause life sometimes is very cruel
(1484) As you can see
(1485) Attack repels by the family
(1486) Just for this war
(1487) Vietcong, 58 North Vietnamese, 12
(1488) South Vietnamese, 11
(1489) Americans, six
(1490) Yes. Well, there were perhaps mistakes
(1491) May I present Captain Willard He is of a paratroop regiment
(1492) Madame Sarrault
(1493) Captain
(1494) Oh, I'm sorry, Captain It was just a little story
(1495) about Paris and people starving during the war
(1496) They are all around the table, and there was a silence and somebody say
(1497) An angel is passing by
(1498) So somebody said Let's eat it
(1499) Oh
(1500) How long can you possibly stay here
(1501) We stay forever
(1502) No, no. I mean
(1503) why don't you go back home to France
(1504) Back home I mean, this is our home, Captain
(1505) Sooner or later, you're
(1506) You don't understand our mentality
(1507) the French officer mentality
(1508) At first, we lose in Second World War
(1509) I don't say that you Americans win, but we lose
(1510) Oh, Papa
(1511) In Dien Bien Phu, we lose In Algeria, we lose
(1512) In Indochina, we lose
(1513) But here we don't lose
(1514) This piece of earth we keep it
(1515) We will never lose it Never
(1516) You Americans
(1517) In 1945, yeah
(1518) after the Japanese war your President Roosevelt
(1519) didn't want the French people to stay in Indochina
(1520) So
(1521) you Americans implant the Vietminh
(1522) What's he mean
(1523) Yeah, that's true. The Vietcong were invented by the Americans
(1524) The Americans
(1525) And now you take the French place
(1526) and the Vietminh fight you
(1527) And what can you do
(1528) Nothing Absolutely nothing
(1529) The Vietnamese are very intelligent You never know what they think
(1530) The Russian ones who help them Come and give us their money
(1531) We are all Communists. Chinese give us guns. We are all brothers
(1532) They hate the Chinese
(1533) Maybe they hate the American less than the Russian and the Chinese
(1534) I mean, if tomorrow the Vietnamese are Communists
(1535) they will be Vietnamese Communists
(1536) And this is something that you never understood, you American
(1537) I don't know
(1538) Maybe in the future we can make something with the Vietminh
(1539) Don't you understand
(1540) The VC say Go away. Go away
(1541) That's finish for all the white people in Indochina
(1542) If you're French, American that's all the same
(1543) Go." They want to forget you Look, Captain
(1544) Look, this is the truth An egg
(1545) The white left
(1546) but the yellow stays
(1547) When I was in Saigon I spoke to an American politician
(1548) He explained it very well He said, "Look
(1549) Yesterday, it was Korea Today, Vietnam
(1550) Tomorrow, Thailand the Philippines
(1551) then maybe Europe
(1552) Come on. Why not Europe
(1553) Look what happened in Czechoslovakia recently
(1554) Even before Second World War Americans knew exactly what was going on
(1555) They don't want that shit to take over! LeFevre
(1556) All you white people are shit
(1557) They are fighting fighting for freedom
(1558) Freedom? Bullshit
(1559) French bullshit American bullshit
(1560) Dien Bien Phu that serious
(1561) All soldiers know they are already dead
(1562) You know anything about Dien Bien Phu
(1563) Yeah, I know No, you don't
(1564) Not really Dien Bien Phu was an error
(1565) A military mistake
(1566) A mistake A voluntary mistake
(1567) Voluntary
(1568) All the soldiers knew We knew we would be dead
(1569) The generals and the colonels believe it's impossible for the Viets
(1570) to get the cannon up there in the mountains
(1571) But they do. Then they wait for the rain to come
(1572) When it comes no aeroplane can fly there
(1573) And our paratroopers jump at 90 meters
(1574) I mean, you know 90 meters... 70 meters
(1575) I mean, that's crazy No army in the world can do that
(1576) And they only do that to be dead with their friends
(1577) The French Army was sacrificed
(1578) Sacrificed by the politicians safe at home
(1579) They put the army in an impossible situation where they couldn't win
(1580) The students are marching in Paris
(1581) protesting, demonstrating
(1582) They stab the soldiers in their back
(1583) The soldier would open the grenade, it wouldn't work
(1584) A piece of paper would fall
(1585) Union of French Women We are for the Viets
(1586) Traitors Communist traitors at home
(1587) Dien Bien Phu, okay
(1588) The French is shit, huh
(1589) No one care No one want
(1590) Why don't you Americans learn from us, from our mistakes
(1591) Mon Dieux,  with your army your strength
(1592) your power, you could win if you want to
(1593) You can win
(1594) You know, I'm sure we can make something here
(1595) I'm sure about it you know
(1596) I never do something wrong to the people here
(1597) That's right, but the Communist at home have never been traitors
(1598) Communist Socialist
(1599) Capitaine,  good night He was a Socialist, you know
(1600) We can stay. I know that we can stay. We can
(1601) You know, we always helped the people
(1602) We work with the people
(1603) So we can be friends we are agreed
(1604) See, Captain when my grandfather
(1605) and my uncle's father came here
(1606) there was nothing nothing
(1607) The Vietnamese were nothing
(1608) So we worked hard
(1609) very hard, and brought
(1610) the rubber from Brazil and then plant it here
(1611) We took the Vietnamese work with them
(1612) make something
(1613) something out of nothing
(1614) So when you ask me why we want to stay here, Captain
(1615) we want to stay here because it's ours... it belongs to us
(1616) It keeps our family together
(1617) I mean, we fight for that
(1618) While you Americans you are fighting for
(1619) the biggest nothing in history
(1620) I'm sorry, Captain. I will see if your men need any help to
(1621) repair your boat
(1622) so that you can go on with your war
(1623) I apologize for my family, Captain
(1624) We have all lost much here
(1625) Hubert... his wife and two sons
(1626) And I have lost a husband
(1627) I understand
(1628) You are tired of the war
(1629) I can see it in your face
(1630) Twas the same in the eyes of the soldiers of our war
(1631) We called them Les Soldats Perdus
(1632) The Lost Soldiers
(1633) If you like we can have some cognac
(1634) I have to to see about my men and
(1635) The war will be still here tomorrow
(1636) Yeah, I guess you're right
(1637) I noticed you had no wine at dinner
(1638) No, I don't drink wine
(1639) I do like cognac, but I don't want any now. Thank you
(1640) Well
(1641) then I I must drink alone
(1642) Will you go back after the war to America
(1643) Then you're like us your home is here
(1644) Do you know why you can never step into the same river twice
(1645) Yeah. 'Cause it's always moving
(1646) I used to prepare a pipe for my husband
(1647) Twas the morphine he took for the wounds he suffered in his heart
(1648) He would rage and he would cry my lost soldier
(1649) And I said to him There are two of you
(1650) Don't you see
(1651) One that kills and one that loves
(1652) And he said to me
(1653) I don't know whether I'm an animal or a god
(1654) But you are both
(1655) You want more
(1656) All that matters is that you're alive
(1657) You are alive, Captain
(1658) That's the truth
(1659) There are two of you don't you see
(1660) One that kills
(1661) and one that loves
(1662) Can't see nothing We stoppin
(1663) You're not authorized to stop this boat, Chief
(1664) I said I can't see a thing, Captain I'm stopping this boat
(1665) I ain't riskin no more lives
(1666) I'm in command here, goddam it You'll do what I say
(1667) You see anything, Chef
(1668) Why don't they fucking attack, man
(1669) Watch it over here, Chief
(1670) Got a stump
(1671) On the fifties
(1672) He was close
(1673) He was real close
(1674) I couldn't see him yet but I could feel him
(1675) as if the boat were being sucked upriver
(1676) and the water was flowing back into the jungle
(1677) Whatever was going to happen
(1678) it wasn't going to be the way they called it back in Nha Trang
(1679) Arrows Fire
(1680) Chef, open up! Fire
(1681) Lance, fire
(1682) Chef! Chef, it's okay Quit firing
(1683) They're just little toy arrows Cut it out! Quiet
(1684) Chief, tell them to hold their fire
(1685) They're just little sticks They're just trying to scare us
(1686) Quiet
(1687) You got us into this mess and now you can't get us out
(1688) because you don't know where the hell you're going, do ya

(1694) My mission is to make it up into Cambodia
(1695) There's a Green Beret colonel up there who's gone insane
(1696) and I'm supposed to kill him
(1697) That's fucking typical Shit
(1698) Fuckin' Vietnam mission
(1699) I'm short and we gotta go up there so you can kill one of our own guys
(1700) That's fucking great That's just fucking great, man
(1701) Shit That's fuckin' crazy
(1702) I mean, I thought you were going in to blow up a bridge
(1703) or some fuckin railroad tracks or somethin
(1704) That's all right No. No, wait. Wait
(1705) We'll go together, on the boat We'll go with you
(1706) We'll go up there but on the boat. Okay
(1707) Part of me was afraid of what I would find
(1708) and what I would do when I got there
(1709) I knew the risks
(1710) or imagined I knew
(1711) But the thing I felt the most
(1712) much stronger than fear
(1713) was the desire to confront him
(1714) Just keep movin
(1715) Lance, keep your hands away from the guns
(1716) It's all right! It's all right It's all been approved
(1717) I ain't comin' in there Them bastards attacked us
(1718) Hey, zap 'em with your siren, man Zap 'em with your siren
(1719) There's mines over there and mines over there too
(1720) And watch out. Those goddam monkeys will bite you, I'll tell you
(1721) Ah, that's a pretty one Move it right in towards me
(1722) I'm an American
(1723) Yeah. An American civilian Hi, Yanks
(1724) Hi. American
(1725) American civilian It's all right
(1726) And you got the cigarettes. And that's what I've been dreaming about
(1727) Who are you Who are you
(1728) I'm a photojournalist
(1729) I've covered the war since '64
(1730) I've been in Laos Cambodia and 'Nam
(1731) Hoo-wee, baby. I'll tell you one thing This boat is a mess, man
(1732) Who are all these people
(1733) Yeah, well, they think you've come to
(1734) to take him away
(1735) And I hope that isn't true Take who away
(1736) Him! Col. Kurtz
(1737) These are all his children man, as far as you can see
(1738) Hell, man, out here we're all his children
(1739) Could we talk to Col. Kurtz
(1740) Hey, Mac You don't talk to the colonel
(1741) Well, you listen to him
(1742) The man's enlarged my mind
(1743) He's a poet warrior in the classic sense
(1744) I mean, sometimes he'll
(1745) Well, you say hello to him right
(1746) He'll just walk by you and he won't even notice you
(1747) Then suddenly he'll grab you and he'll throw you in a corner and he'll say
(1748) Do you know that 'if is the middle word in 'life
(1749) If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming you
(1750) If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
(1751) I'm a little man. I'm a little man He's a great man
(1752) I should have been a pair of ragged claws
(1753) scuttling across floors of silent seas
(1754) I mean Stay with the boat
(1755) Don't go any... Don't go without me okay? I wanna get a picture
(1756) He can be terrible and he can be mean
(1757) and he can be right
(1758) He's fighting the war He's a great man
(1759) I mean
(1760) I wish I had words, you know I wish I had words
(1761) I could tell you something like the other day he wanted to kill me
(1762) Something like that Why'd he want to kill you
(1763) Because I took his picture
(1764) He said, "If you take my picture again
(1765) I'm gonna kill you
(1766) And he meant it
(1767) See, just lay cool Lay cool
(1768) Lay back. Dig it
(1769) He gets friendly again He really does
(1770) But you don't... you don't you don't judge the colonel
(1771) You don't judge the colonel like an ordinary man
(1772) Okay, watch it now These are Americans. Americans
(1773) You can feel the vibe of this place
(1774) Let me take your picture. Hey could you hold... Hey, hello. Hello
(1775) Could you hold up a minute
(1776) Colby
(1777) The heads
(1778) You're looking at the heads
(1779) I, uh... Sometimes he goes too far
(1780) He's the first one to admit it
(1781) He's gone crazy Wrong, wrong
(1782) If you could have heard the man just two days ago
(1783) if you could have heard him then, God
(1784) You were gonna call him crazy Fuckin' A
(1785) I just wanna talk to him
(1786) Well, man, he's gone away
(1787) He's gone away. He disappeared out in the jungle with his people
(1788) I'll wait for him He feels comfortable with his people
(1789) He forgets himself with his people
(1790) He forgets himself Captain
(1791) Maybe we should wait back at the boat
(1792) I think you should Okay, Chef
(1793) We'll go back to the boat for a while
(1794) Yeah, stay with Lance
(1795) This colonel guy he's wacko, man
(1796) He's worse than crazy He's evil
(1797) I mean, that's what the man's got set up here, man
(1798) It's fuckin' pagan idolatry Look around you
(1799) Shit, he's loco Then you'll help me
(1800) Fuckin' A, I'll help you. I'll do anything to get out of this joint
(1801) Good boy We could blow all them assholes away
(1802) They're so fuckin' spaced out they wouldn't even know it
(1803) I ain't afraid of all them fuckin' skulls and altars and shit
(1804) I used to think if I died in an evil place
(1805) then my soul wouldn't be able to make it to Heaven
(1806) But now, fuck
(1807) I mean, I don't care where it goes as long as it ain't here
(1808) So what do you wanna do I'll kill the fuck
(1809) Get out of here I'm gonna need you to wait here, Chef
(1810) I'll go up with Lance and scrounge around, check the place out
(1811) See if I can find the colonel, okay
(1812) Well, what do you want me to do
(1813) Here. You take the radio
(1814) and if I don't get back by 2200 hours
(1815) you call in the air strike
(1816) Air strike
(1817) The code is "Almighty
(1818) coordinates zero-niner-two-six four-seven-one-two
(1819) It's all in there
(1820) Zero-niner-two-six four-seven-one-two
(1821) Everything I saw told me that Kurtz had gone insane
(1822) The place was full of bodies
(1823) North Vietnamese Vietcong, Cambodians
(1824) If I was still alive it was because he wanted me that way
(1825) It smelled like slow death in there
(1826) malaria
(1827) and nightmares
(1828) This was the end of the river, all right
(1829) Where are you from, Willard
(1830) I'm from Ohio, sir
(1831) Were you born there
(1832) Yes, sir
(1833) Whereabouts
(1834) Toledo, sir
(1835) How far are you from the river
(1836) The Ohio River, sir
(1837) About 200 miles
(1838) I went down that river once when I was a kid
(1839) There's a place in the river I can't remember
(1840) Must've been a gardenia plantation or a flower plantation at one time
(1841) It's all wild and overgrown now But for about
(1842) for about five miles you'd think that
(1843) heaven just fell on the earth
(1844) in the form of gardenias
(1845) Have you ever considered
(1846) any real freedoms
(1847) Freedoms from the opinion of others
(1848) Even the opinions of yourself
(1849) Did they say why, Willard
(1850) Why they wanted to terminate my command
(1851) I was sent on a classified mission, sir
(1852) It's no longer classified, is it
(1853) What did they tell you
(1854) They told me
(1855) that you had gone
(1856) totally insane
(1857) and that your methods
(1858) were unsound
(1859) Are my methods unsound
(1860) I don't see any method
(1861) at all, sir
(1862) I expected
(1863) someone like you
(1864) What did you expect
(1865) Are you an assassin
(1866) I'm a soldier
(1867) You're neither
(1868) You're an errand boy
(1869) sent by grocery clerks
(1870) to collect the bill
(1871) Why, huh
(1872) Why would a nice guy like you wanna kill a genius
(1873) Feeling pretty good, huh
(1874) Why
(1875) Do you know
(1876) Do you know that the man
(1877) the man really likes you
(1878) He likes you He really likes you
(1879) But he's got something in mind for you
(1880) Aren't you curious about that
(1881) I'm curious. I'm very curious Are you curious
(1882) There's something happening out here, man
(1883) You know something, man I know something that you don't know
(1884) That's right, Jack
(1885) The man is clear in his mind
(1886) but his soul is mad
(1887) Oh, yeah
(1888) He's dying, I think
(1889) He hates all this He hates it
(1890) But the man's
(1891) He reads poetry out loud all right
(1892) And a voice
(1893) a voice
(1894) He likes you cause you're still alive
(1895) He's got plans for you No, no, I'm not gonna help you
(1896) You're gonna help him, man You're gonna help him
(1897) I mean, what are they gonna say man, when he's gone, huh
(1898) Cause he dies when it dies, man When it dies, he dies
(1899) What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? He was a kind man
(1900) He was a wise man He had plans? He had wisdom
(1901) Bullshit, man
(1902) Am I gonna be the one that's gonna set them straight? Look at me. Wrong
(1903) You
(1904) Almost eight hours
(1905) I'm asleep
(1906) I'm asleep and dreaming I'm on this shitty boat
(1907) Fuck
(1908) Has it been eight hours
(1909) Hello. Almighty. Almighty
(1910) This is PBR Street Gang Radio check. Over
(1911) PBRStreet Gang, this is Almighty standing by. Over
(1912) Oh, Jesus
(1913) Oh, Christ
(1914) Time magazine
(1915) The weekly newsmagazine
(1916) September 22, 1967 Volume 90
(1917) number 12
(1918) The War on the Horizon. The American people may find it hard to believe
(1919) that the US is winning the war in Vietnam
(1920) Nevertheless
(1921) one of the most exhaustive inquiries
(1922) into the status of the conflict yet compiled
(1923) offers considerable evidence that the weight of US power
(1924) two-and-a-half years after the big build-up began
(1925) is beginning to make itself felt
(1926) White House officials maintain the impact of that strength
(1927) may bring the enemy to the point where he could
(1928) simply be unable to continue fighting
(1929) Is this familiar
(1930) Because Lyndon Johnson fears that the US public
(1931) is in no mood to accept its optimistic conclusions
(1932) he may never permit the report to be released in full
(1933) Even so, he is sufficiently impressed with the findings
(1934) and sufficiently anxious to make their conclusions known
(1935) to permit experts who have been working on it
(1936) to talk about it in general terms
(1937) No date, Time magazine
(1938) Sir Robert Thompson
(1939) who led the victory over Communist guerrillas in Malaya
(1940) is now a RAND corporation consultant
(1941) recently returned to Vietnam to sound out the situation for President Nixon
(1942) He told the president last week
(1943) that things felt much better
(1944) and smelled much better over there
(1945) How do they smell to you, soldier
(1946) You'll be free You'll be under guard
(1947) Read these at your leisure
(1948) Don't lose them
(1949) Don't try to escape You'll be shot
(1950) We can talk of these things later
(1951) We are the hollow men
(1952) We are the stuffed men
(1953) leaning together at peace filled with straw
(1954) Alas, our dried voices when we whisper together
(1955) are quiet and meaningless as wind in dry grass
(1956) or a rat's feet over broken glass in a dry cellar
(1957) He's really out there
(1958) Shape without form
(1959) shade without color
(1960) paralyzed force
(1961) gesture without motion
(1962) Do you know what the man's saying? Do you
(1963) This is dialectics It's very simple dialectics
(1964) It's one through nine No maybes, no supposes, no fractions
(1965) You can't travel in space. You can't go out into space, you know
(1966) without like, you know with fractions
(1967) What are you gonna land on One-quarter? Three-eighths
(1968) What are you gonna do when you go from here to Venus
(1969) That's dialectic physics, okay
(1970) Dialectic logic is there's only love and hate
(1971) You either love somebody or you hate 'em
(1972) Mutt
(1973) You mutt
(1974) This is the way the fucking world is
(1975) Look at this fucking shit we're in, man
(1976) Not with a bang A whimper
(1977) And with a whimper I'm fucking splitting, Jack
(1978) On the river, I thought that the minute I looked at him
(1979) I'd know what to do
(1980) But it didn't happen
(1981) I was in there with him for days. Not under guard
(1982) I was free
(1983) But he knew I wasn't going anywhere
(1984) He knew more about what I was going to do than I did
(1985) If the generals back in Nha Trang could see what I saw
(1986) would they still want me to kill him
(1987) More than ever, probably
(1988) And what would his people back home want if they ever learned
(1989) just how far from them he'd really gone
(1990) He broke from them
(1991) and then he broke from himself
(1992) I'd never seen a man so broken up and
(1993) ripped apart
(1994) I've seen the horrors
(1995) horrors that you've seen
(1996) But you have no right to call me a murderer
(1997) You have a right to kill me
(1998) You have a right to do that
(1999) But you have no right to judge me
(2000) It's impossible for words
(2001) to describe
(2002) what is necessary
(2003) to those
(2004) who do not know
(2005) what horror means
(2006) Horror
(2007) Horror has a face
(2008) And you must make a friend of horror
(2009) Horror and moral terror
(2010) are your friends
(2011) If they are not
(2012) then they are enemies to be feared
(2013) They are truly enemies
(2014) I remember when I was with Special Forces
(2015) Seems a thousand centuries ago
(2016) We went into a camp to inoculate
(2017) some children
(2018) We'd left the camp
(2019) after we had inoculated the children for polio
(2020) And this old man came running after us, and he was crying
(2021) He couldn't say
(2022) We went back there
(2023) and they had come and hacked off
(2024) every inoculated arm
(2025) There they were in a pile
(2026) a pile of
(2027) little arms
(2028) And I remember
(2029) I-I... I cried
(2030) I wept like
(2031) some grandmother
(2032) I wanted to tear my teeth out I didn't know what I wanted to do
(2033) And I want to remember it I never want to forget it
(2034) I never want to forget
(2035) And then I realized
(2036) like I was shot
(2037) like I was shot with a diamond
(2038) a diamond bullet right through my forehead
(2039) And I thought My God, the genius of that
(2040) The genius
(2041) The will to do that
(2042) Perfect, genuine, complete crystalline, pure
(2043) And then I realized
(2044) they were stronger than me because they could stand it
(2045) These were not monsters These were men
(2046) trained cadres
(2047) These men who fought with their hearts
(2048) who have families who have children
(2049) who are filled with love
(2050) that they had the strength
(2051) the strength
(2052) to do that
(2053) If I had ten divisions of those men
(2054) then our troubles here would be over very quickly
(2055) You have to have men
(2056) who are moral
(2057) and at the same time
(2058) who are able to
(2059) utilize their
(2060) primordial instincts to kill
(2061) without feeling without passion
(2062) without judgment without judgment
(2063) Because it's judgment that defeats us
(2064) I worry that my son
(2065) might not understand what I've tried to be
(2066) And if I were to be killed, Willard
(2067) I would want someone to go to my home
(2068) and tell my son everything
(2069) Everything I did Everything you saw
(2070) Because there's nothing that I detest more than
(2071) the stench of lies
(2072) And if you understand me Willard, you
(2073) you will do this for me
(2074) PBRStreet Gang this is Almighty. Over
(2075) PBRStreet Gang, this is Almighty standing by. Over
(2076) PBRStreet Gang, this is Almighty standing by. How do you copy
(2077) They were gonna make me a major for this
(2078) and I wasn't even in their fuckin' army any more
(2079) Everybody wanted me to do it
(2080) Him most of all
(2081) I felt like he was up there
(2082) waiting for me to take the pain away
(2083) He just wanted to go out like a soldier
(2084) standing up
(2085) Not like some poor wasted, rag-assed renegade
(2086) Even the jungle wanted him dead
(2087) And that's who he really took his orders from anyway
(2088) Come on, baby take a chance with us
(2089) Come on, baby take a chance with us
(2090) Come on, baby take a chance with us
(2091) And meet me at the back of the blue bus tonight
(2092) Blue bus tonight
(2093) Blue bus tonight Blue
(2094) Come on, yeah
(2095) We train young men to drop fire on people
(2096) but their commanders
(2097) won't allow them to write "fuck
(2098) on their aeroplanes because
(2099) it's obscene
(2100) The horror
(2101) The horror
(2102) Calling PBRStreet Gang
(2103) PBRStreet Gang, this is Almighty Do you read me? Over
(2104) PBRStreet Gang
