The Killing Fields Page #3

Bastards!

I am going to tell you something.

I'm walking out of here.

What are you gonna do?

Blow my head off?

You got a general out there,

this is an American passport...

...and I am walking out of here!

- He wants to get higher officer.

- Then get him! Get him!

I'm sorry we couldn't show you the

minor bomb damage in the city itself.

It's still a restricted area.

Now, if you look across the river...

...you'll see positions held by

Khmer Rouge...

...who moved in over

the past few days.

But the Cambodian Republican Army

is moving in on them.

They'll have the K.R. Out

before you can say "Jack Robinson."

Get in the chopper now!

No, Schanberg! You came on a boat,

you go back on a boat!

That won't stop my story!

What is this?

If you weren't down here,

I wouldn't be down here.

And I don't want to be down here!

What good is it doing?

If anybody ever reads about this...

...you won't be able to look them

in the face!

Good morning.

What time is it?

Six o'clock.

Sh*t.

Telex for you.

You been to the telex?

We made the front page.

Sure.

We must be doing something right.

My wife is very worried.

She thinks all foreign journalists

are going to leave Cambodia.

Well, Pran...

...l'd feel kind of stupid trying to

cover this war from a desk in Bangkok.

And she said if the war

keeps going like this...

...the future could be very bad.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I don't know either.

- Is Sarun downstairs?

- Sure.

Let's get going.

All right.

Don't go back to sleep.

I won't.

K.R.'s making a push

for the airport road.

If they cut it,

the city could be lost.

We hype these people up. "You'll be

all right with us," we say.

Now look at all this f***ing mess!

In America, everybody got a good car.

He ask you what car you drive

in United States.

I don't have a car in America,

only the Mercedes here.

Mercedes, number one!

Ask him where he learned

to speak his English.

American advisor with his unit

teach him.

Mercedes, number one, okay?

What did he say?

He said he thought all

American people left already.

Made in the USA.

Are we winning?

No, you're not winning.

What should we do?

Well, you make sure they don't

cut off the airport road.

The first section came

by Route number 36.

And the second one

came down by Route number 26.

Khmer Rouge will come down Route 3.

He doesn't know how many.

They expect an attack today.

- Where's your commander?

- Phnom Penh.

- Why there?

- Don't know.

How many mortar rounds you have...?

Rockoff, get your ass out here!

Get out here!

Come on, let's get him out of here!

- F*** this!

- They pulling out?

I'm not happy here, Syd.

Jon, I'm leaving.

Syd, come on!
