:20:02
Shit, charging a man
with murder in this place
:20:05
was like handing out
speeding tickets
:20:07
at the Indy 500.
:20:11
I took the mission.
:20:13
What the hell else
was I going to do?
:20:17
But I really didn't know
:20:19
what I'd do
when I found him.
:20:33
I was being ferried
down the coast
:20:36
in a navy PBR,
:20:37
a type of
plastic patrol boat,
:20:39
pretty common sight
on the rivers.
:20:41
They said it was a good way
to pick up information
:20:45
without drawing
much attention.
:20:47
That was OK.
:20:48
I needed the air
and the time.
:20:51
Only problem was,
I wouldn't be alone.
:20:54
Morning, Captain.
:20:58
The crew were mostly
just kids,
:21:01
rock 'n' rollers
with one foot in their graves.
:21:06
How old are you?
:21:07
17.
:21:10
The machinist,
the one they called Chef,
:21:12
was from New Orleans.
:21:13
He was wrapped too tight
for Vietnam...
:21:16
probably wrapped too tight
for New Orleans.
:21:19
Lance was a famous surfer
:21:21
from the beaches south of L.A.
:21:24
To look at him,
:21:25
you wouldn't believe
he'd ever fired a weapon.
:21:30
Clean--Mr. Clean--was from
some South Bronx shit hole.
:21:34
I think the light
and space of Vietnam
:21:36
really put the zap
on his head.
:21:41
Then there was Phillips,
the chief.
:21:44
It might have been
my mission,
:21:46
but it was
the chief's boat.
:21:48
There's about two points
:21:49
where we can get
into the Nung River.
:21:52
They're both hot.
:21:54
They belong to Charlie.
:21:56
Don't worry about it.
:21:59
I don't smoke.
