Spoiler alert: He even EATS the squid after using it for his business.

In a tense opening scene, we cut between that moment right before the plane left and Captain’s first days in America. Captain coasts around the panhandle of Texas in a convertible, an easy, breezy life in comparison to the one he had just a few months ago. Did Bon ever make it on that plane? As Captain roars down the highway, we watch Bon sprinting down the tarmac, trying to make the plane with the corpses of his wife and child in his arms.

It’s been two months since the fall of Saigon, and although Captain now resides in America, he’s still working with Man as a spy. In his free time, Captain uses rice starch to hide secret messages that he sends to his “aunt in Paris,” code for Man, who is now hiding out at an unknown location. Man still needs updates on the General , which reminds Captain of something bad that happened just 10 days ago.

The soirée is a real eye-sore: White people are sporting kimonos and other traditional Asian garb as far as the eye can see. Sofia , Hammer’s assistant, carries around a tray of deviled eggs with a pair of chopsticks wedged into her hair. Captain teases her, starting a friendship with the one other Asian person at Hammer’s party. After Captain reads his gibberish list of Oriental vs. Occidental attributes and the party wraps, he finds Sofia lingering on the outskirts of Hammer’s property.

“I fucked a squid, and I enjoyed it,” he shouts. “I’m not ashamed!” It wasn’t just one squid, he goes on. Apparently, there were a few.
