The United States of America was suddenly and 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:27.320 deliberately attacked by naval and their courses of the Empire 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.560 of Japan. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.480 America had stayed out of the wars in Europe and 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.080 Asia until the attack on Pearl Harbor. Then they were 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.959 all in and immediately began calling up every able bodied 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:48.240 American willing to fight for freedom and liberty. Which is 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.800 how Joseph Sherman came to be flying a p from 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.680 the famous Flying Tiger Squadron based in Kunming, China. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:03.800 Yeah, this is Flying Tiger RB five to kod Mean 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.520 Air Base Coon Mean, can you read me? 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.959 I've taken a hit from Japanese ground fire. 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.120 Leaking oil. 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:20.120 I got low fuel pressure, No got engine failure, losing 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.960 altitude to me, you. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:32.440 Read me, you can't get can't be stuck?

When he woke, 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.920 he was on the floor of a wooden hut, covered 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.040 by a soft blanket. 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.800 Ah, you're awake. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:28.840 Where am I? 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:35.120 You're safe? Joseph. You're in Packba, northern Tonkin, about a 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.640 kilometer south of the Chinese border. Some Loong tribesmen found you. 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:40.800 And brought you here. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.760 Joseph stared at the man talking to him. He was 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.680 thin with a wispy beard. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:56.520 And yet are you I can't be yes, it's me Kim. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.760 We heard a few days ago from a local commander 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.840 that an American had crashed in the jungle, and he 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.360 gave his name, and here I am my friend. 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:13.120 I don't know how to thank you. You saved my life. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.200 We share a common enemy. And now you can find 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:25.040 another day. Keep resting. I will be back soon. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.440 In a few minutes, Kim returned with a man who 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.080 looked like an older version of himself, thin of hair 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.920 and stature, but with piercing eyes. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:43.040 Ah, mister Sherman brought an honor to meet a pilot 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.000 from the famous Flying Tiger Squadron. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:50.680 Thank you, thank you, sir. I'm in your debt. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.320 My name is Jorchi mean they called me Alcoho and 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.360 we are the vietname and the lions are paid is 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.119 fighting to liberate our country. We're waiting guerrilla warfare against 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.120 the Japanese outposts in this region. 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:08.520 Just like you. 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.359 You could say we are brothers. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.480 What about the French? Do they help help us? Not 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:20.320 at all? 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:26.120 The surrender to Japan and then supported invasion. We hope 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.640 when Japan is defeated, the French will accept our independence. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:37.160 But if they do not, well, the America is our inspiration. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.120 It was the first colony in the world to win 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:46.719 independence through revolution. If it must, our little country will 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:47.960 emulate that deed. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.440 That sounds determined. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:58.200 Oh, Vietnam will win independence, mister Sherman. But in the 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.400 short term, we're asking you to carry a message back 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.640 to your American commanders at the airbase in Quinming. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.440 Well, I would if I, but how can I if 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.120 we're in talking it must be a long way, yes, 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:16.880 about two hundred kilometers. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.200 Comrade came, well, and sure you make it back. Then 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.760 you can tell them about us and what we are 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.320 doing to repel the Japanese, and how much more we 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:36.000 could do for America if we had jeeps, machine guns, grenades, radios. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.560 Of course, I'll do my best. I can't promise that 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.800 they'll listen, but I'll give it everything I got. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.440 Yes, we understand that. 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:51.640 Do the best you can. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:57.440 Comrade Kim has spoken highly of you, and take care, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:06:59.520 mister Sherman. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:01.680 Yes, thank you, thank you. 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.240 Don't worry, Jose, It'll be a few more days before. 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:19.480 We leave, Kim. I can I just ask about land. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:21.559 My sister? 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:27.800 Yes, do you have any news, any news at all? 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.000 I suppose she has stayed in Sego, but I haven't 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.560 heard from her since the day my father threw me out. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.760 She said she was going to marry Paul de Rou 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.520 That was nine years ago. You remember, Paul, I. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.680 Remember all the difference. My father used to grovel to 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.000 them all the time. 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:51.440 It made me sick? 0:07:55.200 --> 0:08:00.200 Was it you come? I have to know me what 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.200 Paul's father? Did you kill Paul's father? 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:04.160 Paul? 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.480 Paul didn't think you could, but you were the last 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:11.560 person seen with him. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:22.000 Joseph, the people it's will killed Jack Diville. That's the truth. 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.160 You should try standing up. We'd have to get stronger 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.079 so we can start the journey. Yeah, I give you 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:33.440 a hand. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:37.480 Yes. 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:39.120 Good. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.880 It would be another week before they left the gorilla 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.760 camp at Pac Foe, and three weeks before they finally 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.760 reached the Flying Tiger air base that cut Ming. Then, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.400 after hearing Joseph out, America did join force with Ho 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.439 Chi Min's Vietnamese nationalists. It is one of the least 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:13.600 known quirks of history. America supplied Ho Chi Minh with equipment, weaponry, 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.600 and three US advisors, one being Joseph Sherman, who spent 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.640 months back in the Pacbo jungle training Ho Chi Min's 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:27.000 rebel army. Together, America and Ho Chi Minh did drive 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.520 the Japanese out of Vietnam, and by late nineteen forty 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:42.319 five their defeat was complete. A month after the devastation 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.400 of Hiroshima, a triumphant Ho Chi Minh marched into Hanoi 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:52.079 and opened his victory speech by quoting from America's Declaration 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:58.880 of independence. For more than eighty years, he continued, the 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.839 French imperialist abusing the standard of liberty, equality and fraternity, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:12.840 have violated our fatherland and oppressed our fellow citizens. Hoe 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.240 then recounted how the French had capitulated to the Japanese 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.520 in nineteen forty, and how it had been his Vietnam nationalists, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.960 with America's help, who had finally freed Vietnam. For these reasons, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:30.920 Hoe concluded, we, the members of the Provisional Government, declare 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.920 that from now on we abolish all the special rights 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:40.000 the French have unlawfully acquired in our fatherland. We are convinced. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.160 He finished that the Allied nations, which have acknowledged the 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.280 principles of self determination, will not refuse to acknowledge the 0:10:48.400 --> 0:11:02.560 independence of Vietnam. Unfortunately, Hoe's can was misplaced. He wrote 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.959 three letters to President Truman seeking American recognition for his 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:12.920 Provisional Government and never received a reply. Meanwhile, the French 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:20.280 were telling everyone that Vietnam was still rightfully theirs. By 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.400 the time Joseph returned to Saigon as a liaison officer 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.480 between the Vietman and the American army, no one was 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.760 sure who was governing what anywhere in Vietnam. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:33.080 Can I park here? 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:40.120 Yeah, But Joseph also knew that in a world of change, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.280 some things stay the same. And as the sun set, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.679 he was pretty sure that if Paul Devereux was in 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.360 town an off duty. 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.080 Joseph Sherman, Paul, I knew i'd find you here. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.839 He would probably be in the terrace cafe of the 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.360 Continental Palace Hotel. 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.760 Some thing's never changed. Find the best table in town. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.920 Mon dieu, of all the people, how long has it been? 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.680 Can't believe you're back a drink? 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:08.959 Yes? 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.400 Thanks, Yeah, I've been up in the north for a 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.480 couple of years now. I signed up to the Air Force. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.520 I got posted out to kuon Ming. 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.600 Well, I'm glad they let you come down to Saigon 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:20.920 before sending you home. 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.640 Yeah, you know it feels different this time. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.960 The world work and have that effect on the place. 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.920 True, true, true, But still it used to welcome builders. Yeah, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.079 Now everyone looks suspicious, like they don't know who's on 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:33.720 what side. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.720 Well, the Americans left Lison Gli in charge after Japan 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.760 was beaten, but they're about to hand it back to us, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.800 so it won't be too long before everything gets. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.560 Back to normal, you think, So, what about the Viet Min. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:49.440 What about them? 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.719 We can't let them run things? Why not, it'd be 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.360 a recipe for chaos. Look, our army is back here properly. 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.800 Now we know this country. Most Vietnamese want the French 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:03.400 in charge. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:04.400 Are you sure about that? 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.840 Come on, Joseph, of course they do. There is a loud, 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.680 fanatical fringe we have to deal with, but they are 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:16.240 just a fringe. Vietnam will only prosper when it's back 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.560 under French control. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.679 Well, you always were the optimist, Paul. I'm not sure 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:22.800 the locals would agree with you. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:36.400 But well, Sante, So how's land fine? As far as 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.600 I know, you haven't seen that much of each other. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.440 Oh well, obviously I joined the army. I'm on constant 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.800 tours of duty. But when everything settles down, we'll get 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.360 back to a proper married life. She's staying with her 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.160 parents at the moment. Our battalions off again tonight, flying 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.480 up to Hanoi. I won't see her for another three 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:02.040 months at least. Enough aut me. What about you, Joseph? 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.199 Married children? 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.880 Well, yes, married to Marilyn. Ah, we have a son, 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:09.840 and we have a place. 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.600 Joseph briefly recounted the last nine years, but with little passion. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.839 He had married a Californian woman and settled into a 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:25.000 tolerable state of affairs. The following morning, he drove his 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.200 army issue jeep straight to the Hugh family villa. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:31.080 Ah. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.800 Madame Hugh, how are you? 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:35.520 Yes? 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.760 Oh, sorry, I know it's been a long time, but 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:42.720 we have met before. It's Joseph Sherman. Oh, I was 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.520 briefly here eight or gosh nine years ago, and our 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.040 two families spent some time together a decade before that. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:54.720 When my father brought us out, I didn't recognize you. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.080 Yes, well, it's been a long war. 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.360 I probably don't look like the young man you remember, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.640 and I should not have assumed you would. My apologies, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.680 but yeah, I have such fond memories of your whole family, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.200 Madame Hugh, then especially your wonderful daughter Land. And when 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.760 I posted back here for a few weeks, I thought 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.040 I should drop in and say. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.920 Hello, did you, Monsieur Sherman. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.240 Well, yes, yes, I. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.440 You might have fond memories, but I'm afraid we do not. Goodbye. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.560 Don't wait, I don't understand. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.760 We do not have fond memories of your last visit. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.360 You made our daughter very unhappy and then disappeared. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:41.560 No, I didn't. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.920 She was marrying Paul Devreux. How could I make her unhappy? 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.000 Please go, I would never want to see your daughter unhappy. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.000 Please please, Madame Hugh.

This is my first time 0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.760 back in Saigon. He said you were here, so I 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.480 had to come. Even though you never answered my letters, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.320 you did get my letters. I thought of you often, 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:16.600 lend more than I should admit. I didn't know what 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.120 to think when you never replied. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.199 It was impossible. 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:22.359 It's impossible. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.000 You have a wedding ring? 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.000 Well, yes, but that that wasn't until I mean, it 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.560 was three years after I had left. I'd heard nothing. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:39.480 I believe there was nothing. Her name's Marilyn. We have 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.600 a son Gary. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:50.920 She's a good woman, but not like you. No one's 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:59.720 like you, Lenn, don't. How's life with Paul, it is 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:00.520 what it had to be. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.840 Your mother told me I made you very unhappy, but 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.240 I loved you and you were marrying Paul. Then you 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.359 never answered my letters. 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.080 Please, Landa. I just want to understand. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:28.399 I had a baby, Joseph, Oh god, our child, a 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:37.359 little girl, Oh my God. After you left, I found 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:43.000 out I was pregnant and Joseph, you were the father. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.240 But I was marrying Paul, so I couldn't tell you that. 0:18:53.480 --> 0:19:02.720 But I couldn't lie, so I couldn't write. Paul knows nothing. 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.280 He was away so much and my parents told him 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.960 I was ill. I needed country air to recover before 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:17.120 the wedding, so he never knew anything. No one did. 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.320 Where is she? I need to see her? 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:42.639 Wait here. Her name is too Yette. This is the 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.680 only picture I have of her because of the shame 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.679 he will bring on the family. My father gave her 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.600 to a servant and paid for his silence with a 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.960 house and a wife in one of the villages outside Hey. 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.600 This was taken on her third birthday. I had begged 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.720 to see her and my parents had refused, but finally 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:14.440 my mother agreed to arrange for one photo. If I 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:20.400 never mention her again she looks. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:23.960 Like me. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.080 Yes, she has your eyes. 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.120 Do you know where she is now? 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.639 I know where she was, But that whole stretch of 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.200 coach in China is now in famine. The Japanese burns 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:44.840 the crops as they retreated. There is no rice. I 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.520 have spent the last few months thinking of nothing else, 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:59.439 just worrying how she's surviving. Joseph, do you have a car? 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.200 H yes, right outside. 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:06.960 But help me, please help me find our daughter. 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.320 And in less than an hour they were heading north, 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.280 driving through the middle of the country. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:26.200 The further they. 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:30.639 Drove, the worse things looked. The land became burnt and barren, 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:37.200 and signs of people in livestock were fewer and fewer. Finally, 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.520 eight hours from Saigon, the occasional farmhouse gave way to 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.280 a huddle of shops and huts on either side of 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:49.280 the road. A lifeless silence hung heavily in the air. 0:21:51.520 --> 0:22:01.080 Is this it? I'm not sure? Oh? 0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:01.359 I know. 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.080 Is it's one of these places between here and Canton? 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:04.960 What's that? 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:07.199 Hi? 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:09.119 Yeah? 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:17.960 Come ye. 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:19.760 Made it? 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.160 Look what she's saying. 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.960 Yeah, she's saying. The Japanese destroyed all they could as 0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:36.640 they were treated and killed the adults burnt everything. Then 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:43.280 the Allies swept through, and now there's nothing. She says, 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:44.320 it's hell on earth. 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:02.680 The next three villages were the same, but at the 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:07.280 fourth there was a grand old colonial hotel that had 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.679 miraculously survived the devastation. 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.280 We've seen less than a dozen people in fifty kilometers. 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:16.280 There's no one left. 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.880 We can't give up now, Joseph.
