Ah Nhac, go away!

Please go, Mister.

You really can't do this.

I'd really like to photograph them.

No, don't! You'll get us all executed!

Don't make things worse!

...I can handle it.

What'd you actually want, Mister?

I just want to photograp you.

I don't understand why tour mother

is so alarmed.

There's no way

the government would let us

be photographed.

You may be okay, but we ain't.

You can stroll away and get on

with yourjob...

But we'll get jumped on.

A few years ago, whan I was dasperate,

I went with a Korean soldier,

and had Second Brother.

Cam Nuong isn't young any more.

What if she finds out?

Hurry up!

I'm sorry about this morning.

It's alright, I telephoned Officer Nguyen...

and he told me you preferred

to work alone.

That's right.

I arranged for you to visit a school today.

I had no office work,

so I've been waiting for you.

You've been here all day?

Did you get any good pictures?

Very good!

Mr. Akutagawa, even though I'm not

accompanying you...

you're still my responsibility

as long as you're here.

If you need my help with anything,

please contact me.

I will.

Then I won't keep you any longer.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Sister, mommy isn't back yet.

I'm hungry. I want some noodles.

Be patient.

Look, Sister, mommy's cooked

some rice and vegetables!

Strange... Where did she the money?

Borrowed it!
