Fred.
Please continue, Mr. Vann.
1:19:04
I was saying the intelligence
we now have indicates clearly...
1:19:09
that divisions formerly positioned
in this area...
1:19:12
on the Cambodian border
have been moved...
1:19:16
to here, here, here and here...
1:19:20
and now all share
the Saigon theater of operations.
1:19:24
General, there's aerial evidence
of advanced movement to support this.
1:19:29
And what is your conclusion?
1:19:32
Well, sir, our conclusion is...
1:19:35
the enemy is about to strike
at the capital.
1:19:37
Gentlemen, that is exactly
what the enemy wants us to think...
1:19:40
because they
are going to lay siege...
1:19:43
to the Marines here
with regular forces...
1:19:46
to make us believe that they are going
to invade the capital with the Vietcong.
1:19:51
We hold back our forces.
1:19:52
They overrun the Marines
for a spectacular victory...
1:19:55
just like they did the French.
1:19:57
Well, that's not gonna happen
on my watch, gentlemen.
1:20:00
Fred, I want you to have
every available man...
1:20:02
ready to move up there
on a moment's notice.
1:20:05
Sir, I don't believe
a strategist like General Giap...
1:20:08
would risk his troops
openly against us.
1:20:12
I appreciate your input, Mr. Vann.
1:20:14
101st, 199.
You have them ready, Fred.
1:20:28
Lee, what's wrong?
1:20:34
I haven't seen you for so long.
I'm worried.
1:20:39
Look, there's a lot
going on right now.
1:20:43
Let's go away together for Tet.
1:20:46
We can go to my family's home
by the sea.
1:20:51
Please come, John.
1:20:55
I can't.
1:20:57
- Who is it?
- General Weyand.
