:49:02
- You remember me from the party?
- l do.
:49:04
l'm sorry. l had actually written
two articles about you in Cambodia,...
:49:09
..just before the fall of Phnom Penh.
:49:11
l was the last American journalist out.
Schanberg was chasing his Pulitzer prize.
:49:16
l was almost getting cholera but we saved
1 100 refugees from the Khmer Rouge.
:49:22
- Terrible what they did to Cambodia.
- Yes, sir. lt was.
:49:27
Were you one of the people writin'
'em up as the good guys for a while?
:49:30
Yes, sir. l'm afraid l was wrong on
that one. But a lot of people were.
:49:34
lf these guys in the hills took power, the
Pol Pot incident would look like a picnic.
:49:39
Are they as bad as Major Max
and the Mano Blanca?
:49:43
l don't know. We got
a pathological killer on the Right,...
:49:46
..God knows what on the Left,
and a gutless middle.
:49:51
Anyway, Boyle, about your problem here.
:49:54
Carol checked with the National Guard,
the police, the regular army.
:49:57
Nobody seems to know
anything about this boy. We think...
:50:00
With respect, Ambassador, they're lying.
:50:04
He didn't just disappear. Nobody just
disappears in El Salvador. They got him.
:50:08
- Have you checked with Human Rights?
- The Human Rights Office?!
:50:12
They rearranged this kid's molecules
and they took their time!
:50:16
He is dying out there while
we're talking. He's just a kid!
:50:19
- He's just a kid!
- Richard...
:50:22
- Richard, please calm down.
- l'm sorry.
:50:24
Ambassador, look. His sister is
my girlfriend. She's on the shit list.
:50:29
l gotta get a ceduIa for her. They could
come tonight, take her away and kill her!
:50:34
Richard, Richard!
That doesn't have anything to do with us.
:50:38
You know the laws of this country. She's
gonna have to go back to her home town.
:50:43
- Where's she from?
- Morazan. She can't get near there.
:50:46
lf she does, the guards'll kill her
as a suspected G. Fuck!
:50:50
All right. l'll do the best
l can, but it's very tough.
:50:53
There are thousands of people in this
predicament. Everybody wants a ceduIa.
:50:58
Let me ask you this.
