Our CIA men and MPs
have gone into the embassy...

1:28:13
and are trying
to get the snipers out.

1:28:17
We've got two more alert forces
trying to push him out this way...

1:28:22
but he's heavily fortified--
1:28:25
232 Gls killed and 900 wounded--
1:28:28
Twenty-one towns and cities
attacked by the Vietcong--

1:28:31
Snipers and suicide commandos--
1:28:33
$$"Military Police"
The central palace, the radio station,
the Philippine embassy, four American--

1:28:36
Sniper fire still coming--
1:28:38
Civilians who were caught
in the ground fire--

1:28:45
Hi, baby. You okay?
The baby okay?

1:28:49
Don't you worry about a thing, Gran.
I'm gonna take care of all of you.

1:28:53
I gotta go.
1:28:56
All right?
1:29:04
The official explanation--
1:29:05
that it's all an attempt
to divert American forces--

1:29:08
The Vietcong paid dearly
for their acts of rampant terrorism--

1:29:12
The enemy is mounting
some last desperate campaign.

1:29:16
We're just mopping up here. What's
the word at the radio station? Over.

1:29:21
I see. Real good.
Well, keep us posted. Over.

1:29:24
Keep this line open.
1:29:29
We did it. They threw their best
at us, and we beat 'em.

1:29:31
Yeah, it got a bit crazy out there.
1:29:34
General, what's your assessment
of the situation?

1:29:37
Just our guys clearing up
some unexploded M-79 rounds.

1:29:41
General, can I ask you a question?
1:29:43
The enemy appears to be trying
to take over South Vietnam.

1:29:46
The Vietcong
has very deceitfully...

1:29:51
taken advantage of the Tet truce...
1:29:54
in order to create maximum
consternation in South Vietnam...

1:29:58
particularly in the populated areas.
