- Anderson, Johnson and Baker's Huey is downed. They find an orphaned baby while fleeing a father with a vengeance.
- During a mission, Bravo Company is engaged by a group of NVC. In the course of the fight, the leaders son is shot and killed. While trying to extract from the scene of the fight, Anderson, Johnson and Baker are stranded in hostile territory and must try to find their way to a point where it is safe to signal for help, unaware that they are being followed by the enemy troop that attacked them. Along the way they come across a group of Montagnards who were brutally attacked and killed. The sole survivor is a pregnant woman who is in labor. Soon after giving birth, she dies, leaving the men to carry the baby along with them to safety, over the initial objections of Anderson. There are some humorous moments as the three try to care for the baby, even taking a goat from a farm to provide milk for the baby. Anderson milks the goat, telling the others to never mention having seen him do this.
Low on ammunition and desperate to attract potential rescue, the three light a signal fire although they are aware the enemy is not far behind and will also see it. A firefight ensues, leaving Johnson and Baker wounded and stranded on a rocky outcropping. During the fight, the baby is shot and killed. When the VC leader reaches the top of the hill he finds Anderson holding the dead baby and crying about the fact that the baby never had a chance. The VC leader withdraws after seeing an approaching helicopter. When they are picked up the three form a circle in the helicopter, holding the hand of the dead baby, signifying that he was part of their group and that his life meant something.
