Don't give me any of that crap, Trautman!
You think Rambo was the only guy
who had a tough time in Vietnam.
- He killed a police officer for Christ sake!
- You're god damned lucky he didn't kill all of you.
This character! He comes waltzing in here
full of all kinds of good advice.
I wish we'd let that god damned maniac go loose...
so we could save our own asses!
Well, we saved our asses, Colonel.
And we didn't let him go loose.
The best man lost!
And he doesn't like it!
- How are you doin', Will?
- Hold my calls.
Have a seat.
Miss, can you do this again, please.
- Sure. - And for my friend...?
A shot of wild turkey.
If I was out of line before,
I just want to apologize.
None of that makes much difference now, does it?
No, I guess not.
I suppose...
I just feel...
Like you were cheated out of your chance?
I wanted to kill that kid.
I wanted to kill him so bad, I could taste it.
Doesn't sit well with that badge.
It can get confusing sometimes.
In Vietnam you can bet that Rambo and I got pretty confused.
But we had orders.
When in doubt, kill.
But what the hell, you're a civilian. You can go home
to your wife, your house and flower garden.
You're under no pressure to figure all this out.
What about you colonel,
what did you figure out from all of this?
What would you have done with him if he came in?
Would you wrap your arms around him
give him a big sloppy kiss?
Or would you have blown his brains out?
I couldn't answer that until I met him face to face.
Well, there it is.
Just as well we never got a chance to find out.
Drive!
Don't look at me, look at the road.
That's how accidents happen.
What's your name?
- Cathcart, Robert A.
- What do you got in the back, Robert A.?
- M16s
OK, Robert A., get out of the truck.
- I don't got no beef with you.
- Go home!
Want to turn that up?
What's your story, Steamboat?
Looks like somebody pulled the plug too soon.
That Rambo guy? He's on the loose again.
Hey Will, it's Rambo! He's still around
- Holy fuck!
- Get out there right away. Move!
What the hell's going on?
Watch yourselves!
- They're all gonna blow!
Attention, all civilians!
For your own safety
please evacuate the streets immediately.
Remain indoors until you receive further instructions. I repeat:
This is a police emergency.
Please evacuate the streets immediately.
They found Rambo's body.
lt stole a truck and blew up a gas
station on the other side of town.
The kid is resilient.
Why don't you forget what you're thinking
and clear out while you can.
- Get the fuck out of here Trautman
and take your advice with you.
When I talked to earlier,
you knew he was still alive, didn't you?
I suspected it.
Sure, that's why you stuck around.
You trained him.
You taught him how to get out of places like that cave.
But he's not going to get out of this place.
Teasle, you and all your men couldn't handle him before,
what makes you think you can handle him now?
Because God knows what damage he's prepared to do.
You're going to die, Teasle.
Everybody dies!
There's only one man in this room that has a half a chance.
That's not because I'm better than he is.
But it's because he trusts me.
See, I'm the closest thing to family that he has left,
and that may be all the edge I need.
Jesus Christ, where do you people come from?
This is my job, Trautman,
this is my town!
I'm not giving it up to you,
or to Rambo or anybody else!
You just stay the hell out of my way!
- Get a little closer!
- I can't...
It's too God damned hot!
Will, it's Lester, do you copy, over?
Come on, let's go!
Will, this is Lester, do you copy, over?
We've got some serious problems.
The highway's been cut off.
The truck's out here,
but we couldn't find the body.
I repeat, no body, lt's totally burnt out.
Preston, get those people out of
