Howdy. Welcome to Bau Trai, guys.
:54:18
- Terry Pike.
- John Vann.

:54:19
- Doug Elders.
- Nice to meet you.

:54:21
Did you know there's a jeep
outside of town with a body in it?

:54:25
Nobody buries them?
:54:27
They're too afraid
to go out there.

:54:30
I don't mean
to discourage you guys...

:54:33
but this place is gone.
:54:35
You see that bunch of kids
standing over here?

:54:40
They're Vietcong.
:54:42
Now, our defenders either
work for 'em or pay 'em off.

:54:45
So who's in charge?
:54:47
That'd be Colonel Dinh.
:54:49
I don't know if Charlie works for him
or he works for them.

:54:52
Don't matter much, though,
'cause nobody works for us.

:54:55
Maybe we should hand it all
over the communists right now.

:54:58
Mr. Vann, these people don't have
any money, and they don't get to vote.

:55:03
That sounds communist to me.
:55:12
Now, if you don't mind, it cost me
50 bucks to get Colonel Dinh to get...

:55:15
a military escort
so I can get out of here.

:55:17
I better get before the price goes up.
It's all yours.

:55:22
Stay alive, gentlemen.
:55:27
Geez, what a mess.
:55:35
Each family of six or more
gets one can of cooking oil...

:55:38
100-pound sack of flour
per month.

:55:41
Doug, check the manifest,
see when the stuff's due in Tam Huang.

:55:44
We do what we call an inventory.
:55:46
Everything that goes in and out
of here gets accounted for.

:55:50
You got ten cans of oil,
nine sacks of flour, you write it down.
