While
he delivers Johnny's Place, Lemory Davis has the big surprise to find in
the unknown man leaning on the counter, the former sergeant of his
regiment, Cain Garver. After the surprise, Lemory invites Cain to visit
the city and they end up on the beach. There,
the two men, while sharing the same bottle, evoke the past and the war.
They both have forgotten nothing from Vietnam. Lemory confides to Cain
his difficulties in have a normal life again, his problems to get
rehabilitated after these years of a war for a country that has no
interest for former soldiers. At
the end of this meeting, Cain, finding back his old soldier gestures (he
blackens his face, checks his gun), goes to Cruz Castillo's home to wait
for him. Portrait
