- What brings you out to these parts?
- I was hoping to interview the General.

:41:06
But they've thrown me out of the place.
:41:09
- What's your excuse this time?
- This is like a test run for us.

:41:13
The French, in their typically French way,
have been very uncooperative

:41:17
but General Thé has been good enough
to let us set up camp here.

:41:22
I'll get them to let you in.
:41:25
Joe Tunney's running aid programmes
with business people close to Thé.

:41:29
- Mr Muoi.
- Mr Pyle.

:41:32
- Hello. How are you?
- Good.

:41:55
My name is Mr Muoi.
The General only has a few moments.

:41:59
May I first ask you a question?
:42:01
- Please.
- What is your relationship to the General?

:42:05
I'm a businessman and a patriot.
:42:10
Many of the supplies and aid you see
are the result of my efforts.

:42:14
Shall we begin?
:42:16
You say you've broken away from
:42:18
the French and Vietnamese forces
with which you serve.

:42:23
Do any ties remain?
:42:29
The French are colonialists.
:42:33
Not to be trusted.
:42:40
It will take an independent
Vietnamese leader to rule our country.

:42:44
How does the General expect
to launch a successful campaign

:42:47
against the larger forces
of the communists and the French

:42:50
with so few men and supplies?
:42:54
And who is providing the means
for the General to achieve this?
