- Who's the Cong?
- You mean to tell me...?

1:06:04
Oh, no, of course not, you're too young.
1:06:07
It was the war, see. Vietnam.
1:06:10
The Cong were the bad guys.
They wore black pyjamas.

1:06:15
In the jungle we were on patrol.
Walked into an ambush.

1:06:19
Only about six of us got out.
1:06:21
We ran.
1:06:23
Went the wrong way.
1:06:26
They caught me.
1:06:29
Threw me in a hole in the ground.
1:06:32
Like being buried alive.
It was always dark like this.

1:06:36
What did you eat?
1:06:38
They threw down rotted rice.
1:06:42
Sometimes I'd eat spiders.
1:06:44
Live ones. Big spiders. I'd chase them
around in the dark and eat them.

1:06:48
Gross.
1:06:50
They turned me into an animal.
1:06:53
You got it easier than me, kid,
but it all comes down to the same thing.

1:06:56
Like a rat in the trap.
1:06:59
You think maybe they'll get
the lights back on pretty soon?

1:07:04
Doesn't matter. We're together.
1:07:08
God, kid. If some day I could help you
the way you're helping me...

1:07:14
You could.
You could get a message to my father.

1:07:19
You know, what's it all about? Why do
they have you and your daddy here?

1:07:23
What do they want you to do?
1:07:30
They won't make me take any more pills.
1:07:34
No more pills, you bastard.
1:07:38
How are you gonna help Charlie
if you're a goddamn zombie?

1:07:43
Listen,
maybe I could get in to see your dad?

1:07:46
- You could? You really think you could?
- I could change with Herbie, an orderly.

1:07:50
I could see your dad, tell him you're OK...
Maybe not tell him, pass him a note.

1:07:56
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
- Shit.
