Are they still shooting?

Where are they?

I don't know. I can't see 'em.

Hey, get down, man.

Poole. We gotta get Poole.

You take care of it. I'm gonna go

over there and look out for 'em.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

He fell over there.

Let's set him down.

Goddamn you, Stuckey.

Over here, come on.

Come on, watch out.

No sign of them.

Where the hell's that damn map?

He was holding it. I remember.

Damn! Compass is gone.

How'd that happen?

It was in the water.

What the hell d'you think?

And guess who put it there.

That's right, Bowden. What the hell

d'you tip us over for?

Didn't tip the canoes over.

You started it. It's your fault.

The hell you talkin' about? You

f***ing panicked, you a**hole!

I'll show you panic,

you little f***ing redneck.

I didn't panic.

I didn't panic, you piss-ass!

What the hell is this sh*t?

Look, we're all soldiering together.

Damn it. You two guys shake hands.

All right.

OK.

OK, good.

Simms, where's your radio?

In the water. Where d'you think?

You're supposed to be

in charge of it.

What the hell's the matter

with you?

Look, we have a dead man here.

Now what are we gonna do?

Let's go get them cocksuckers

who shot Poole.

I'll decide where we're going

and when.

Let's haul ass.

What about Sergeant Poole?

I say we leave him

unless you wanna carry him.

He's an American soldier.

He's got a Bronze Star, a Purple

Heart, a Vietnam Service Medal.

We're not leaving him here.

The quicker we get outta here, the

quicker they can come back for him.

We're gonna follow through with our

mission. That's our responsibility.

Come on, Casper. Let's get going.

No, goddamnit!

We're not leaving him here.

- Who says?

- I say,

I've got the stripes, I'm in charge

and I don't wanna hear

any more sh*t about it.

Now, let's just go.

Stuckey, you were one dumb son of

a b*tch firing that machine gun.

Yeah, Stuckey.

Nobody gave you an order to fire.

Look, it was only a goddamn joke.

They were only blanks.

Forget it.

Forget it'? Sh*t! This moron gets

somebody killed - you say forget it?

I got something for you boys

to remember.

Stuckey wasn't the one

that shot Poole.

The big thing is that after we get

Poole back to headquarters

we come back and

get these Cajuns.

Oh hell yes! All we got to do is

swim a couple a hundred yards

and then find 'em back in that forest.

After we done that we can capture

'em and shoot 'em with our blanks.

Well, what d'you think?

This bayou forks to the east.

Easiest to get where we want

moving that way.

We want to be heading north.

The interstate's north.

We're going to the interstate.

Not if you go east.

The interstate's north.
