Tour of Duty - Season 1 Episode 16

Among other casualties, Lt. Goldman temporarily loses his sight when his Jeep hits a mine. Horn leaves him with a female VC soldier (named Li Kiem) and goes for help at Goldman's demand. He removes her gag in an effort at civility but she tries to get a local woman who comes across them to help her escape by speaking Vietnamese. He manages to sense what she is doing but he counters and they leave, with her as his prisoner/shield. It turns out she speaks English but still implacably considers him her enemy; they debate politics briefly. During this time she tries several times to have him killed or captured but he manages to evade these threats as well. They come across an embittered farmer who hates both sides and initially refuses them food but then reconsiders. She seems to soften towards Goldman, whom she calls "GI". He later regains his sight after a dunking while they cross a very deep river. He saves her from drowning but they come under fire from a VC team chasing them, with ultimately deadly consequences.
