Apocalypse Now Redux Page #2

WILLARD:

What are the charges? What did I

do?

SERGEANT:

There's no charges, Captain.

The sergeant opens the letter he has been holding.

SERGEANT:

You have orders to report to Com-

Sec Intelligence at Nah Trang.

He holds up the letter in front of Willard's face so he

can see it. We see the word 'RESTRICTED' across the top.

WILLARD:

I see.

SERGEANT:

All right?

WILLARD:

Nah Trang, for me?

SERGEANT:

That's right.

The sergeant folds the letter back and puts it back in the

envelope. Willard doesn't move.

SERGEANT:

Come on, Captain, you still have a

few hours to get cleaned up.

WILLARD:

I'm not feeling too good.

He lays his head on the pillow and closes his eyes.

SERGEANT:

Captain?

(to private)

Dave, come here and give me a hand.

We've got a dead one.

The two of them move over to Willard and pick him up.

SERGEANT:

Come on Captain, Let's go take a

shower.

WILLARD:

Don't be an ass.

SERGEANT:

(to private)

Get hold of him good. We're going

to take a shower, Captain.

They drag him into the shower, and turn on the cold water.

SERGEANT:

Stand under this, Captain.

Willard shudders and yells as they begin to clean him up.

EXT. MILITARY COMPOUND - DAY

A darkly painted Huey lands in a guarded military compound

somewhere in Nah Trang. The two enlisted men jump out of

the helicopter, leading Willard, who seems in much better

shape. As he gets out he sees a platoon of new men drilling

in the hot hazy sun. They are clean and pale.
