1:18:01
The French won't stop the communists.
1:18:03
They haven't got the brains
and they haven't got the guts.
1:18:10
How did I fit into all this?
1:18:14
Am I part of your cover?
1:18:17
Or a source of information?
1:18:21
Or did you have your eye
on Phuong all the time?
1:18:25
You and Phuong? I never planned for
any of that to happen. Believe me.
1:18:29
It would have been easier
if I'd never met either one of you.
1:18:33
- But you did. And you lied to us.
- What do you want me to tell you?
1:18:38
That I took no action?
That I have no opinion?
1:18:44
Tell me that you don't mean any of this.
1:18:48
Tell me that you were only obeying orders.
1:18:51
Or tell me that after what you saw
in the square, those children,
1:18:55
who did nothing and hurt no one,
1:18:57
tell me that you were
so confused and horrified
1:18:59
at how brutal and insane
these actions are.
1:19:03
Tell me how your love for Phuong
has caused you to have some doubts.
1:19:07
But it's because of Phuong
that I am even more determined.
1:19:11
Let's just look at Phuong. There's beauty.
There's daughter of a professor.
1:19:16
Taxi dancer.
Mistress of an older European man.
1:19:18
That pretty well describes
the whole country.
1:19:21
Look, Thomas, we are here
to save Vietnam from all of that.
1:19:25
What happened in the square
makes me sick.
1:19:28
But in the long run,
I'm going to save lives.
1:19:34
It's you, isn't it?
1:19:37
Joe Tunney, the staff at the legation,
1:19:40
Mr Muoi, General Thé.
1:19:43
They all take their fucking orders
from you, Pyle.
1:19:48
York Harding prattles on about a third
force in that book you carry around.
1:19:54
You've actually gone out and made one.
1:19:57
I don't think you see
the big picture, Thomas.
