Dispersed to an adjacent village and amid further tension between Anderson and Goldman, the platoon find the village deserted. Marcus Taylor, a slick, fast talking black private disappears and the platoon discovers evidence of the enemy's vast underground tunneling system. After the first exploratory duo sent into the tunnels is attacked Goldman insists on following Anderson into the dank confines of the tunnel network. Held captive by the NVA in the bowels of the earth and tortured for information Taylor finds humanity in the form of the idealistic communist doctor traveling with the North Vietnamese contingent. Finding a cache of hijacked U.S. supplies and equipment in the tunnels and engaging the enemy, Goldman and Anderson are engulfed in a cave-in. During their efforts to extricate themselves from their earthen prison they come to a better understanding of each other. Meanwhile Taylor's captives are on the move, determined to slaughter the remainder of the platoon, the commanding officer ordering the doctor to kill Taylor. Unable to carry out the order, the doctor is killed during a struggle between Taylor and the commanding officer, Taylor escaping in time to warn his buddies of the ambush. As the platoon celebrate their survival with a spit BBQ of the village pig killed by an NVA sniper an explosives ordinance squad lays 500lbs of explosives in the tunnels and Taylor digs a final resting place for his friend the doctor.
