Speaker A
No, Henry, keep away. It's the curse. And as a 16-year-old, he discovered himself. If I don't get home, my father's going to kill me.
Speaker A
Be careful. Riding with Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution. Did you ever kill a man, Indy?
Speaker A
Stay alive. Cavalry. George Lucas presents The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, next. Now, what did we learn in that section?
Speaker A
What's that interesting about ancient Greece and how they had to weave their own sweaters, make their own clothes, raise their own animals?
Speaker A
What's that? They didn't use electricity, right? They used what? An oil lamp. Now, this is the anthropoid sarcophagus of Epicurus.
Speaker A
Now, although this coffin belongs to a woman, it wears a beard to indicate identification of the deceased to the god of the dead, Osiris.
Speaker A
Now, the lid is decorated with figures and text surmounted by the hieroglyphic symbol for sky.
Speaker A
Let's go. Below which is placed a winged scarab. Why aren't you kids in class? This place is boring, man. We're out of here.
Speaker A
Boring? Yeah, it's full of junk. Junk? Junk? Why, some of the greatest adventures of my life are sitting in this museum.
Speaker A
Maybe it's cool for you, dude, but we think it stinks. Hold on. I'll club you. Be cool, man. Be cool.
Speaker A
You from the city? Me, I'm from just across the river. Big deal. Come on over here. Maybe you'll learn something.
Speaker A
Oh. What was it I was talking about? Huh? You heard me. What was I saying just now? Something about yes, yes.
Speaker A
How I was born across the river in New Jersey. That's right. July the 1st, 1899.
Speaker A
I guess that sounds a hell of a long time ago to you, huh? But let me tell you something.
Speaker A
To me, it seemed only a twinkling of an eye. I was raised in Princeton, where my father was professor of medieval studies.
Speaker A
He was a very smart man. My mother adored him. She was the sweetest, smartest, most wonderful woman who ever lived.
Speaker A
I can't say I was crazy about school, either. I guess I thought I already knew everything.
Speaker A
And I preferred having fun with my dog, Indiana. Playing baseball. Or maybe learning about other things.
Speaker A
Like how to get to the moon. How to break the land speed record. Or how this mysterious thing called electricity works.
Speaker A
Then one day, something wonderful happened. My dad was invited to visit all these different schools and universities around the world.
Speaker A
He wrote some important books, he said. So, he was going to make this great trip, and we were going with him.
Speaker A
The trip was going to take on close to two whole years. We boarded a giant steamship and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker A
Our first stop was England, where we visited London, and then went on to Oxford, where my father had gone to university.
Speaker A
He said he had a surprise for me. Some surprise. You think your teacher is tough? Let me tell you, she's a pussycat compared with Miss Helen Seymour, tutor supreme.
Speaker A
Stand up straight, Henry, dear. Young man, how old are you? Nine. And are you anxious to learn?
Speaker A
Depends. Depends? Depends on what? On what's being taught. You may go. I'm sorry, it's impossible. He's far too young. Your son needs a governess. I'm not a governess. I am a teacher. You're the best there is.
Speaker A
That's why he needs you. My dear Professor Jones, he is a child. And I'm used to teaching young gentlemen twice his age. It's quite out of the question.
Speaker A
I hate her. She's a witch. Darling, listen. Miss Seymour is very highly regarded in academic circles.
Speaker A
She tutored your father when he was at Oxford. He thinks a great deal of her.
Speaker A
Then let him go with her, or we can go back home. Which seemed pretty much like the end of it.
Speaker A
Or so I thought. Like I said, my father was a very smart man. I know how much you've always wanted to travel.
Speaker A
It's the chance of a lifetime. Don't say you're going to turn your back on it.
Speaker A
I'm sorry, Professor Jones, but I won't go a single mile with that boy. Not even to see the Great Wall of China?
Speaker A
The gardens of Kyoto? The Taj Mahal by moonlight? Sunset over the pyramids? It took nine days to sail across the Mediterranean Sea.
Speaker A
I guess my mother and father had quite a good time on the voyage. I didn't get to see too much of it, though.
Speaker A
Miss Seymour didn't let up on me for one bit of a minute. Math, literature, history.
Speaker A
It was like nothing could stop her. Not even the ocean. Oh my goodness. Lovely weather, Captain. Good lively business. I hope it's not spoiling your enjoyment of the voyage. No, no, not at all, Governor. We British are a hardy
Speaker A
island breed, what? Well, young fellow, and how are your studies progressing? I want to know about mummies, sir.
Speaker A
Mummies? Yes, sir. About how the ancient Egyptians turned people into mummies when they died. Really?
Speaker A
How did they go about that? Well, first they scooped out the brain. They took it out through the nose. Of course, they had to break it first.
Speaker A
Here. They used a metal hook and kind of teased it out. Excuse me. They took a stone knife, cut open the left side of the corpse, reached in, pulled out all the lower organs. They put them in four separate
Speaker A
jars. One for the liver, one for the lungs, one for the stomach, and one for the intestines.
Speaker A
They tied on the toenails and the fingernails with string. So they wouldn't fall off.
Speaker A
They plugged up the nose and, you know, stuck little bits of cloth under the eyelids. And this is really interesting.
Speaker A
Sometimes they used little, I mean, instead. That completed the first stage, sir. The embalming.
Speaker A
Then they had to wrap the whole body in bandages. Didn't know his work, though.
Speaker A
Most often, the mummies leaked. I believe that I'm wanted on the bridge. That was an interesting speech, Junior.
Speaker A
Thank you, Father. Now, eat your tripe. We landed at Alexandria, and then made our way up the Nile River to the ancient city of Cairo.
Speaker A
I had never seen anything like it. Everything was so wonderful, strange, and exotic. Henry?
Speaker A
As soon as we had settled in, my father started his lectures at Cairo University.
Speaker A
Mother was busy helping me out on the social side with afternoon teas and things.
Speaker A
So, I was left to the tender mercies of the wicked witch. From time to time, I was able to explore things on my own, but for the most part, the goddess of knowledge kept my nose stuck in a book.
Speaker A
Have you finished? Almost. Good. Well, when you're done, we'll take an expedition out to see the monuments.
Speaker A
You mean the pyramids? Yes. The great mysterious things. Oh boy. The Great Egyptian Sphinx was built around 2,500 BC.
Speaker A
Wow. Now, why don't we have a real adventure, hm? And climb one of those pyramids.
Speaker A
Why did you only give him 10 piasters? 10 piasters are entirely sufficient for his services, Mr. Jones.
Speaker A
What if you wanted 30? These people expect to barter. It is part of their nature. You'll see, by the time we get down, he will be perfectly content.
Speaker A
I don't know, Seymour. He looks pretty mad to me. Nonsense, Mr. Jones. Now, when was that pyramid built?
Speaker A
Over 4,000 years old. By King Cheops. It's one of the largest constructions ever made by man. It's one of the seven wonders of the world. Very good.
Speaker A
But can we climb to the top of the biggest pyramid? I should be more than happy to get to the top of this one, Mr.
Speaker A
Jones. Now, let's get on. Excuse me, Seymour. Must've been great to be a pharaoh.
Speaker A
Look, Mr. Seymour. Oh my goodness. He's taking our camels. Hey, wait. Wait. Wait. Come back.
Speaker A
Hey wait. Wait. Wait a minute. Come back. Wait. Come back. Wait a minute. Come back.
Speaker A
Come back with our camels. Wait. Wait a minute. I see he wasn't too content after all.
Speaker A
What on earth shall we do? I don't know, Mr. Seymour. Do we have to walk?
Speaker A
It's much too far. Besides, it will be dark soon. What if we're attacked by bandits? Oh, nonsense.
Speaker A
Or tomb robbers. They're supposed to be real scary. Henry, there's absolutely nothing, nothing to be afraid of.
Speaker A
Look. Someone's coming. Hurrah, we're saved. But what if it's a tomb robber? Hello, Mr. Seymour.
Speaker A
Mr. Law
Speaker A
And I thought I'd take in a bit of Egypt before going home. Hello. Hi.
Speaker A
Mr. Henry Jones Jr. of Princeton, New Jersey, Mr. T. E. Lawrence of Jesus College Oxford.
Speaker A
How do you do, Mr. Lawrence? Awfully well, thank you. And please call me Ned.
Speaker A
I say, you're not related to Professor Henry Jones by any chance? He's my dad.
Speaker A
I've read his books. They're brilliant. What happened? We had a slight altercation with our guide.
Speaker A
Yeah, he ran off with the camels. Yes, they do that sometimes. But what on earth shall we do?
Speaker A
Well, I'd say, gather up some camel dung and make jolly sure we don't catch cold.
Speaker A
Time stands still. It has no meaning. When you open a tomb, you let in the light, the first light that plays the scene for three or 4,000 years.
Speaker A
Your feet are the first to tread that floor since the feet of the men who made it.
Speaker A
You may even see their footsteps going before you in the dust. You are breathing the same air as the men who laid the mummy to rest.
Speaker A
Wow. Sounds great. I'd like to be an archaeologist. Maybe you'll add a new page to history, or discover a treasure beyond price. And get rich. No, Henry. The archaeologists don't get rich. Archaeology doesn't steal from the past. It opens it, so
Speaker A
that everyone may learn from its treasures. But, why did they have all that stuff in the tomb with them?
Speaker A
They didn't need it. They were dead. Yes, but they believed that their spirit continued to live in the tomb and come alive again.
Speaker A
Really? Really? Is it true? No, Henry, it is not true. But it is what many of the ancient Egyptians believed.
Speaker A
Then, what does happen when you die? You know very well. You mean if you're good, your soul goes to heaven?
Speaker A
With all the angels and stuff? Precisely. But that's the Christian belief. Other people have different answers.
Speaker A
Like what? Well, a good Muslim will go to paradise, which according to the Prophet Muhammad is a delightful place, especially if you're a man.
Speaker A
A Hindu believes in reincarnation. Reincarnation, what's that? It means that when the body dies, the soul reappears in another body and lives again. And then it moves on again, and so on and so on.
Speaker A
The same soul? Yes. But in different bodies? Yes. Where do we come from? Where do we go?
Speaker A
It's one of the truly great mysteries, and the spark of most great religions. So, nearly all of them have an answer to what happens when we die.
Speaker A
Which one is true? No one's come back to tell us. Mr. Lawrence. Oh, but Henry, if you should meet a mummy one night, you can always ask him.
Speaker A
Meet a mummy? Ask him? Yes. When his spirit returns at sunset and enters his shriveled body, when he rises slowly from his dusty coffin and creeps out into the darkness, when he glides across the empty desert where nothing is heard but the cry of
Speaker A
the jackal, and the shuffle of his bony feet across the sand. Shuffle shuffle. Shuffle shuffle.
Speaker A
Wow. Mr. Lawrence. Then, if you should chance to meet him, it may be he will answer your question.
Speaker A
Oh, but only if you return with him to his tomb. Mr. Lawrence. It's time we went to sleep.
Speaker A
Oh, by the way, I'm going upriver tomorrow near the Valley of the Kings. A friend of mine is working on a dig with Howard Carter.
Speaker A
Would you like to come? Can we, Mr. Seymour? May we? May we? Your father will have to give his permission.
Speaker A
He will. I know he will. May we, father? May we? Please. Use it as a journal or diary.
Speaker A
Write down anything that interests or strikes you. Thank you, father. And don't neglect your studies, Junior.
Speaker A
No sir. Whoopee! It's wonderful. He wants to know what it is you're reading. It's a book about Napoleon.
Speaker A
She says I have to read it. They're wise people, you see. They prize knowledge above all things.
Speaker A
Anyway, wherever you go, whatever countries you visit, learn the language. It's the key that unlocks everything, the most important thing of all.
Speaker A
DNA I'm most delighted to see May I introduce Miss Helen Seymour and Mr. Henry Jones, Junior.
Speaker A
This is my dear friend Rashid Salaam. Delighted. Delighted. Welcome to you both. My guests, you're in luck. We've discovered a new tomb. The pharaoh?
Speaker A
No, not a pharaoh, I'm afraid. Still, everything is important, as Mr. Carter always says. Will we get to see inside of it? I do hope so, Mr. Jones.
Speaker A
That would be great. Golly! Why are those men sitting idle? They are afraid. Afraid? Afraid of what?
Speaker A
They say there is a curse on the tomb. A curse? To make people die? Now, you know there's no such thing as a curse. That's what the men are saying.
Speaker A
Back to work at once. At once, Mr. Galli. But there could be a curse, couldn't there?
Speaker A
Well, of course not. Demetrius is going to blow up the rock. It'll make a lovely explosion and clear the road to the camp.
Speaker A
All clear, Demetrius! Pierre, make sure you get some pictures of these seals. Very good, Mr. Carter. We found these last month. Pottery, linen, and these clay seals, all 18th Dynasty.
Speaker A
This one bears the name of the king, Tutankhamun. Ah, the boy pharaoh, Mr. Carter.
Speaker A
How old was he? About your age when he became a pharaoh. Do you think his tomb still exists? I'm certain of it, Mr. Lawrence, and I believe we shall find it with hard work and a great deal of luck.
Speaker A
I have an almost superstitious conviction about it. Not very scientific, I'm afraid. And the tomb you found yesterday, Mr.
Speaker A
Carter? Also 18th Dynasty, but alas, not the king's. His name was Kah. Kah? He seems to be in some kind of architect or engineer.
Speaker A
We may know more when we open up his tomb. Will you be the first ones inside of it?
Speaker A
Yes. Would you like to come along? Jeepers creepers. Thanks. The workers won't go in because of the curse. Superstition, Mr. Galli. It's only superstition.
Speaker A
I don't care. It's the curse. We must be very careful in here. Some of these tombs are airtight, and when the artifacts that are left behind begin to decompose, they create poisonous gases.
Speaker A
In the royal tombs, there are many traps that discourage grave robbers. But since Kah was only an architect, I doubt that we're in much danger.
Speaker A
He that enters my tomb, I shall burn with my fire. It's the curse. Rashid, break the seals.
Speaker A
Completely scorched. Good lord. Someone's been here before us. Tomb robbers? Or the curse. Well, there's only one way to find out.
Speaker A
My god. Is that Kah? That is Kah. Holy smokes. Extraordinary. Why are there no artifacts?
Speaker A
Maybe they were stolen. I don't think so. The door seals were intact. There must be another chamber.
Speaker A
Over here. Open it up. Careful, it's a sealed room, remember? Poison gas! Everybody out!
Speaker A
Quick! All safe. We'll go back in the morning. The air will be clear by then.
Speaker A
Put a guard on tonight, Rashid. Someone you can trust. I'll guard it to myself, sir. Good.
Speaker A
Better draw a gun from the armory, just in case. Can I stay and guard with you tonight?
Speaker A
That's very brave of you, Mr. Jones, but I'll be all right. Rashid! Where are you?
Speaker A
Rashid! Where are you? Come on. Rashid! Rashid! Oh dear. Oh wow. The mummy's gone. Rashid climbed out of his coffin and got Rashid. Calm down and don't be silly.
Speaker A
Rashid. No, Henry, keep away. Poor Rashid. What a dreadful way But I didn't kill him.
Speaker A
There's a head wound here. Someone attacked him. He didn't even have time to draw his gun.
Speaker A
We'll have to take him to Cairo. There's bound to be an inquiry. I'll go myself this afternoon.
Speaker A
Hello? What? Some kind of silver powder. His leg's covered with it. No one's been here. Nothing's touched.
Speaker A
It doesn't make sense. There doesn't seem to be a motive. Yes, there is. He that enters my tomb, I shall burn with my fire. Henry.
Speaker A
It's the curse. I mean, there's no motive for his death. I can't see any reason.
Speaker A
God, it seems so pointless. That is just common. All that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity.
Speaker A
He was my friend. I shall miss him dreadfully. You'll see him again, won't you?
Speaker A
See him again? In heaven. After you die. If Kah let him go after he rose from his coffin, after he killed Rashid.
Speaker A
Listen Henry. When I told you all those things about mummies coming alive again and walking the earth, well, I'm afraid I must have Told lies?
Speaker A
Exaggerated. I can't seem to help it. It's something I do. Why? I'm not sure.
Speaker A
But I often tell stories. You know, make things up. To make life seem more exciting.
Speaker A
More worthwhile. There's got to be a motive. Do we have to do this tonight? Don't be afraid.
Speaker A
I want to thoroughly check the room before anybody else gets in here. Shouldn't we wait for Mr. Carter to get back?
Speaker A
No, don't worry. And don't disturb anything. Well Henry this is what Kah really looked like.
Speaker A
He's beautiful. I was beloved of the pharaoh. As a reward for my great service, he gave me the precious headpiece.
Speaker A
Ah, that must be the one he's wearing, Henry. The sacred jackal with the eyes of fire.
Speaker A
Can't be. What? Can't be the headpiece he's wearing. There's no jackal with eyes of fire.
Speaker A
You're right. Wait a minute, though. Something was here. It's been broken off. Stolen. At last, we've got a motive.
Speaker A
That's probably what it looked like. What did it mean, eyes of fire? The jackal's eyes were precious stones.
Speaker A
That's why it was stolen. Poor Rashid killed. But I still don't understand why the mummy disappeared.
Speaker A
A native wouldn't do it. It would be sacrilege. Then who? One of the assistants?
Speaker A
Pierre? Or someone with a foot in both worlds. Who knew the power of the curse, yet didn't himself believe it.
Speaker A
Who needed money and hated Rashid. Mr. Gallini. You going to arrest him? We haven't got enough proof yet. We need hard evidence.
Speaker A
Ah. I'd forgotten all about it. What a fool I am. What is it? The powder I found on Rashid's body.
Speaker A
It's flash powder. Yeah. I need your help, old lad. I'm going to search Pierre's tent.
Speaker A
Pierre will kill you. He's not there. He's over there, see? Keep your eyes skinned. If he moves, come quick and tell me.
Speaker A
Holy smokes. Play up and play the game, eh? Trust me, Ned. Henry? Miss Shimura, have you seen Henry? I know.
Speaker A
What's the matter? Quick, the tomb. What? Get away! No! Get away! No! He's going to kill me! Who's that fool? He's going to kill me just like he killed Rashid!
Speaker A
Junior, I swear this crazy! I did not kill Rashid. Then what are you doing here? I was taking some photographs to sell to the newspapers.
Speaker A
Newspapers? There is much money to be made from such a story. A man must live.
Speaker A
There was magnesium powder found on Rashid's body. But I am not the only person in the camp who uses magnesium powder. Look.
Speaker A
Demetrius. Look, magnesium for making the flares. He will be at port side by now, ready to go by the ship. Not if I have anything to do with it.
Speaker A
Wonderful meeting you, Henry. You really are a splendid chap. Don't go near. I'll write to you. Promise.
Speaker A
Don't forget me! He ruled like the wind, and the dawn was upon him. "Don't forget me!" he cried, as if I ever would.
Speaker A
The man was a hero even then. Then what happened? Hm? Did he catch the killer?
Speaker A
When he got to the pier, the steamship had gone by 5 minutes, and Demetrius with it. So, the bad guys got away?
Speaker A
Hm. Not exactly. So, what did you do? Me? I went back to Cairo with Miss Shimura.
Speaker A
We joined up with my parents and continued our trip. Is that all? Of course not.
Speaker A
So, what about the Jackal? The Jackal? What Jackal? The one with the eyes of fire. Did it ever turn up? Ah, yes.
Speaker A
The Jackal with the eyes of fire. Well, that's another story. Oh, come on, mister. We got to know what happened.
Speaker A
What did you say? Hey, man, we got to. Come on, mister, please. No. All right, but I've got to get home soon.
Speaker A
Got to feed my cat, Henry. Very demanding creature, Henry. Makes my life hell sometimes.
Speaker A
Okay. Let's go. Eight years later, I was in Mexico. What does Mexico have to do with this?
Speaker A
Listen, kid, who's telling this story, you or me? You, sir. Damn right. So, shut up and listen. Now, where was I? In Mexico. I recall. It was spring break, and I was in Santa Fe visiting my cousin Frank. Huh?
Speaker A
The week before I was to return to New Jersey, we decided to hitch down to the border and have a little fun, you know, with the señoritas. The what, Jackal?
Speaker A
Little did I realize that the desperate financial needs of the revolutionaries in Mexico would lead me back to the Jackal and change my life forever.
Speaker A
I was only 16 years old. I think my cousin Frank was a little older.
Speaker A
Yeah, yeah, now I recall. Frank was definitely a little older than me. Thanks mister.
Speaker A
Don't get in trouble now. Howdy. Howdy. What are you boys doing around here looking lost, huh? Sir?
Speaker A
Mama's going to heat your fannies for sure. Is there uh someplace we can get something to eat?
Speaker A
Well, there's the Busy Bee Coffee Shop. Usually it opens up around 6:00. What time's the border open?
Speaker A
Uh you boys looking for a little action, huh? We sure are. Know any good hot spots, sir? Hot spots?
Speaker A
Well, I should say there's the Copa Caliente. There's the Cuero de Oro. Maxie's. You know, I think you boys better stay away from old Maxie. Why?
Speaker A
They serve their chilies real hot. Thanks soldier. You boys steer clear of old Maxie's, you hear? He's liable to give you anything.
Speaker A
Let's get out of here! No! Please! I'll get him back for you, man. What am I going to tell your dad?
Speaker A
That's one. That's two. That's three. I have to be in high school in a couple of days.
Speaker A
If I don't get home, my father's going to kill me. Be careful. What I can't figure is how you got here. I mean, what's a Belgian doing riding with General Villa?
Speaker A
I was a sailor. But I hated to see. One day we tied up at Veracruz, I jumped ship.
Speaker A
Then I met Lupe. She was very beautiful. I adored her. We had a little cantina.
Speaker A
We were very happy. But the federalists came. They destroyed our cantina. And then they killed my Lupe.
Speaker A
And well, I joined the revolution. For revenge? For that and for other reasons. What are you fighting for?
Speaker A
Our children starve. When we get sick, we have nowhere to go. And Presidente Carranza and his rich friends have taken everything from us.
Speaker A
We are slaves in our own land. They've sold off half of our country to you gringos.
Speaker A
Your first job tomorrow will be to pick up the weapons at Klaus' house. That's the last one.
Speaker A
Demetrius. Hey Demetrius. I found the man. Found the man who killed Rashid. Found him at last.
Speaker A
How it all started was I planned a visit to the border. So logical which was to enlarge my education. I feel confident you would have approved.
Speaker A
However, as Robbie Burns so aptly said and as you so often quote him, the best laid schemes of mice and men.
Speaker A
My riot stinks. How about Dear Dad, I've joined the Mexican Revolution. Sorry about high school.
Speaker A
Take care of Indiana for me. Your son, Henry. Much better. How much longer do we have to sit here?
Speaker A
Till we have news of the train. I hate trains. What's so important about this one?
Speaker A
We're going to take this one cuz it's the key to Ciudad Guerrero. Are you crazy?
Speaker A
That place is full of federales. We'll get our asses shot off. Tequila. God bless the United States of America and death to all our enemies.
Speaker A
Including that low-down greaser, Pancho Villa. Same again. That guy's nuts. Americans. Lieutenant Patton reporting, sir.
Speaker A
Looks like you ran into a little trouble on your scouting mission, Lieutenant. Nothing I couldn't handle. Better watch out for young George Patton, gentlemen.
Speaker A
I'd say he's going places fast. I got these guys at a cantina near the railroad.
Speaker A
I'm not so sure if he is headed to the mountains. Good thinking, Lieutenant. I agree.
Speaker A
In fact, I hear he's headed for Ciudad Guerrero. Don't worry. Zacateras is my hometown. I grew up there.
Speaker A
The spur line runs right up to the wall. I will switch the tracks and you go crashing right into it.
Speaker A
Indy. You know how to use that? Did you ever kill a man, Indy? Indy.
Speaker A
There is only one rule in Janos. Stay alive. Hey Indy! Stay clear of the box cars. This is Villa's couple, but Jose can't switch the tracks.
Speaker A
Thank goodness. Never find him in the dark. Easy there, my friend. Hold tight. You'll be okay.
Speaker A
Who owns this wealth? But he doesn't even live here. What is it, Teniente? Are you sick?
Speaker A
Not sick, exactly. I just don't think this is my revolution. My gringo. Fin. In Francia Tropas de Estados Unidos visitan de cortesía a Canadá.
Speaker A
A general dice The last time leaving Cairo they're sending me into the desert to make contact with the Bedouin.
Speaker A
I must take some part in this war. I believe something honorable can be achieved here.
Speaker A
All I am certain of is this war must be fought. Above all, it must be won.
Speaker A
The alternative is unthinkable. Lord, how serious I am. Your friend, Ned. I've come to say goodbye in Cairo.
Speaker A
Goodbye. I'm going home. After seeing that you're still hopeful, I can't stay. This is not my war.
Speaker A
If I have to die I'll die in my own country defending my own home.
Speaker A
Well, let me come with you. Come with me? No, I'm not. I'm not crazy.
Speaker A
I guess I'm just seeing things clearly for the first time. This isn't my war, either.
Speaker A
