Back out in the bush Team Viking are checking out a village looking for clues and information about Williams an Australian S.O.G Team Leader who is missing (and presumed captured), as there have been reports of a prisoner being paraded through villages.
While talking to the villagers, Sgt. Johnson sees a young boy pull something out of his mothers pocket ,thinking its grenade he calls out and rushes the woman and child knocking them to the ground. Only to find out it was a piece of fruit.

His hunch was right as the group head of out of site a new group appear and this time it is Williams.

This time they open fire and Williams gets shot in the cross fire.

Back at base Sgt.Johnson tells Brewster that the captive in the first group squatted down like a Vietnamese person and that the report was that the prisoner was stripped of his uniform so that why he figured it wasn't Williams.
