Original subtitles

- Come help me.

- Cover me.

- Are aware that you're trespassing?

What are you doing here?

- Hey, listen,

this is just a recon mission.

- I see.

Well, we'll soon find out.

Take them back to the camp.

- Now.

- [Man] You can take him.

Come on.

- No.

- Please.

Please.

- I am going to give you one more chance.

Tell me

what were you doing just outside our perimeter,

or you're next.

- Please.

I swear to you,

we were on a routine

reconnaissance.

You must believe me, please.

- Die.

- Please,

don't kill me.

There are no missions.

We didn't know about this place.

Let me go.

Please.

- Okay.

I'll let you go.

The border's in that direction.

I'll give you a five minute head start,

then me and my men are coming after you.

If you make it to the border,

you're a free man.

If you don't,

you give my men some practice.

You're wasting time.

Game's over.

- Let's go.

Come on.

I'm dying.

I can't make it.

I'm sorry.

Here.

Don't lose it.

Take it to the hotel.

Give it to the manager.

Go now.

- No.

- Go, Modi.

- That woman who has the film

has escaped, Colonel.

- Stupid scum.

I suppose you realize

that you're on private territory.

Who sent you?

- You won't get any answer out of me,

slimy commie bastard.

- I don't want to hurt you.

Who do you work for?

- [Man] No, no.

- Sit down, Python.

Recognize the man in those photos?

- Colonel William Marshall.

Green Beret special forces.

He's been declared missing in action for years.

- Those photos were smuggled

out of Vietnam by a female operative.

She's in deep shock

and she's babbling about a communist terrorist

training camp

run by Colonel Marshall.

- Colonel Marshall was one of the best guys

in the force,

if not the best.

If he's turned red and is training terrorists,

you've got yourself a problem.

- That's why you're here, Python.

The defense secretary is very upset

and wants this report verified.

Round up these three Vietnam war vets.

I'm sending the four of you on a mission.

- Five.

- Howard, how did you--

- I checked out what was going on in the infirmary.

And I talked with your Vietnamese woman.

You're sending five people

cause I'm joining this mission, Mr. Adams.

- Out of the question, Howard.

This mission is much too dangerous.

These men may not get out of Vietnam in one piece.

- I was trained in commando jungle warfare

and terrorist tactics.

Hell, I just good as Python or any of your men.

Most of all, Mr. Adams,

Colonel Marshall is my father.

- Which only makes it more difficult, Howard.

You'll only endanger the mission.

- Begging your pardon, sir,

killing or getting killed won't make it any better.

You were my father's friend

and you know if there's anybody who can talk sense

to my father,

it's me.

- Makes sense to me.

- Alright, Howard,

you're in.

But only if you agree to two conditions.

One, if Colonel Marshall is not what he seems to be,

then get him out at all costs.

But if he's actually switched sides,

trains and supports the enemy,

then you have no recourse

but to terminate him

with extreme prejudice.

Do you understand that Howard?

Python, you'll find all the details of this mission

in those dossiers.

And one more thing,

if you fail to make it back,

this department shall disavow any knowledge

of your participation in this mission.

Good luck, gentlemen.

- I don't like this man.

These guys aren't coming.

Let's get the hell out of here.

- Relax.

They're late is all.

Give them some time.

- That's great, Garner,

just great.

We've been waiting around this lousy dump

for two hours.

Now let's hit the road

before some cops starts nosing around.

- What's that.

We've been trying to put this deal together

for two weeks now.

I'm not gonna blow it because some

got caught in a traffic jam.

We wait.

- Oh, of course.

You're not answering my question.

What about the cops?

- What cops?

This isn't Nam.

These are school boys we're playing with.

- What happened to you?

You're two hours late.

- [Man] Cut the wisecracking, Garner.

You got the stuff?

First the red, Javi.

- It's a burn.

- Adios.

It was nice doing business with you.

Vaminos.

- Beats the hell out of me.

- Back off Ben,

we got no beef with you.

- Listen man,

where we are,

just take the stash and

we'll split.

- Shut up, Cable.

Who are you?

- You're loosing your touch, Garner.

Where'd you learn to shoot that bad?

- I haven't (inaudible),

how did you find me?

- Fully decorated Vietnam war veterans

who have stooped so low as to push scag.

It wasn't that difficult.

- We need money to feed our families,

not medals.

- Well then let's talk.

- Just hold it a damn minute.

Somebody's got to explain to us what's going on here.

- All of you come with me.

That stuff wears off in about an hour.

- Catch man.

- How well do you know this guy?

- I knew him in Nam man.

He was a stand up guy.

- Good enough for me.

At least let's listen to the man.

- I'm here to offer each of you $250,000.

- 250 grand?

For what?

- Come on man, don't jerk us around.

What's this all about?

- Rescue mission

in Vietnam.

- In your ear.

I don't ever want to go back there again.

- Worse than peddling scag?

Getting busted?

Serving time in the can?

$250,000.

It's a lot of money.

You can do a lot of things with that kind of money.

More fun than being busted broke.

Alright.

- Now listen, hold on there a minute.

Guys, as far as I'm concerned,

I'd rather be doing something I'm good at.

And at a good price.

What the hell, where do I sign up?

- I'm in.

- What about you, Garner?

- We're tapped out.

- Good.

We begin training tomorrow morning

at oh 500 hours.

Have a nice night, gentlemen.

- Training?

- The type of training you're about to undergo,

while still in it's developmental stages,

is best suited for our purposes.

It's a combination of gold old US military know how,

commando survival

and fighting techniques,

a little of that oriental martial art,

and ju jitsu thrown in.

Today is terrain awareness training.

We're to cross this little patch of forest

and get to the other side in 10 minutes.

To liven up our little party,

we've added a few traps along the way.

Some trip wired

explosives here and there

and a couple of snipers.

So please

watch your step.

So put on your masks,

get used to them.

One more thing,

the snipers are using live ammo.

Alright ladies,

it's party time.

Go.

- Come on.

- What are we doing in there?

- 10 minutes

and 10 seconds.

Not bad if you're a boy scout.

- Bad?

If you two guys would just cut us some slack back there.

- The enemy is not gonna cut you any slack, Garner.

Hell, at the rate you were moving,

cross-eyed would have made dog food out of you.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who's the bright young boy there?

- That's Howard Marshall,

son of Colonel William Marshall.

One of the few men in the service

that's ever passed this kind of training.

He's with us.

- Okay, down and dirty.

And here's one the show.

- Dammit, Smitty, you always forget to add.

You got enough bread in your pocket,

you can afford 50 or an ante.

- Okee dokee.

Everybody in.

Let's have a look

and see what's happening, chief.

- I'm gonna enjoy taking you boys' money.

- First place bets.

- I'll bet a hundred.

- I'll bet you a hundred

and up 50.

- It's to you.

- I'll match that. - Alright.

- Alright, pot's ripe.

- Two aces.

- Son of a,

what happened to our guns?

- Looking for these, ladies?

- Never underestimate the capabilities of your enemy.

He won't aim at the table.

- Looking for us, ladies?

- Not bad.

(gun shots firing)

(gun shots firing) (explosion booming)

- The results of your training is very impressive, Python.

You've managed to turn these social misfits

back to their formidable fighting form,

and better.

You've done a good job.

By the way,

you're leaving for Vietnam the day after tomorrow.

- Any last minute words of wisdom?

- Yes there are,

I'm not too keen on that Marshall kid.

I'm not sure how he's gonna react

when he sees his old man

after such a long period of time.

After all, this is the most dangerous mission

he's ever been on.

- You want him out of the mission?

- No, he's still in.

But I want you to be the second gun.

If Howard fails in his assignment,

you terminate the Colonel.

- Kill the kid's father?

- The kid's father trains communist terrorists.

He poses a threat to our national security here

and abroad.

Any threat must be eliminated.

Do you understand, Python?

- I understand.

- Come on Ben, let's go.

- But mama.

- Come on, Ben.

- Colonel,

our train comes under attack.

- What's been done to retaliate?

- All outer perimeter defenses have been mobilized.

- What's the enemy's estimated strength?

- You stay here.

Secure the area.

- Son of a bitch.

- What are you gonna do with us?

- Where's Colonel Marshall?

- I don't know.

- The hell you don't.

- You're gonna kill him, aren't you?

Aren't you?

Murderer!

- Mom.

Momma.

Momma.

- Stay here.

- Get down!

- Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

- Come and get some, assholes.

I was in your shitty little country.

- Party time.

- It's party time.

Let's do it.

- Lin.

Shit.

Those dirty bastards.

- Stop.

Don't make me do it, dad.

- What do you want to do, kid,

shoot your old man?

- Not unless I have to.

I'm a soldier,

trained to kill the enemy.

- They train you to shoot your own father?

Can you?

Maybe you can.

You may be a solider,

but you ain't got no guts.

You're not my son.

- Dad.

- Howard.

We have to go.
