We've never been able 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.039 to infiltrate any of her teams. They come out of 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.960 nowhere and then vanish before we have time to respond. 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:20.600 That's what we know. And now for the last few months, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.360 nothing feels like someone heard that we really wanted to 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:25.279 find her and told. 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.080 Her to keep her head down. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:27.480 You've got a move. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.440 Not in the office here, there's been no breach of 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.080 operational security, but we've got assets all over the place 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.280 in Saigon, and well, frankly, i'd be surprised if at 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.159 least one or two of them aren't double agents for 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.479 the viet Cong. We arrest all the ones we find, 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:49.600 but you arrest one and two more take their place. Yeah, anyway, 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.960 we both want to find her, Joseph, so. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.040 I'll let you know if we get a tip. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.440 Yeah, but it's. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:58.600 The Ted holiday next week. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.000 I know, I know goes home right. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.840 Exactly, so nothing will happen till after that at the earliest. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.120 Okay, Well, thanks, Mike, I appreciate the favor. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.360 No problem. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:17.039 Actually know, as it happens, I have a favor to 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:17.800 ask in return. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.440 Oh yeah, let's. 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:27.880 Go for a drive. I'll tell you on the way. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.320 There you go. Where are we going? 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:39.279 Secret detention facility inside the US military prison Okay, not 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:47.719 far right, actually away from prying years. There is something 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:52.680 else you should know about your daughter. What she got married. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.880 It's another Viet Con fighter. Oh, they had a daughter 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.640 in fifty eight.

A patrol came back 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.000 on the last day, and you knew the leader. It'd 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.360 been someone you'd known in Saigon years earlier. No, and 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:59.360 weird detail. He doesn't have any balls cut them off 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.480 years ago, apparently, so nothing could distract him from the cause. 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.439 Transvend Kim, that's him. 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.040 I think it's him, and if it is, we have 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:11.959 to see if. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:12.920 He'll talk to you. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.280 Corporal Sir, can you let mister Sherman in? 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.720 Yes, Sir, mister Sherman, when I open the door, just 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.480 take one step forward and stay behind the red line 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:24.600 at all times. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:25.840 Ready. 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:35.640 Yeah, Joseph stepped inside. The thin red line was at 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.240 his feet, but the rest of the walls, ceiling, floor 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.600 were all bright white, and sitting motionless on the ground 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.600 was a thin figure with a long, wispy beard. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:59.959 Kim, Kim, it's me Joseph, your old friend. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:07.079 It had been twelve long years since Land's funeral procession, 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.160 but there was no mistaking the piercing eyes and familiar 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.640 face in front of him. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:18.920 How are you, my friend?

So what you saw 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:08.760 is betrayal. He respected his honesty. Yeah, being open about 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:18.560 our passions and not denying them is not betrayal, Kim. Yeah, 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:26.160 it's not a betrayal.
