here...
Move them back to the south side.
We don't know how many gas tanks
there are under the pumps...
Go ahead, go ahead!
- Go ahead you crazy son of a bitch!
- Rambo!
Rambo, don't do it!
Listen to me, Rambo!
You have no chance.
Drop your weapon.
We're going to order a chopper in
and fly you back to Bragg.
Hold your fire!
- Yeah?
- Hold your fire!
Think about what you're doing.
The building's perimeter's covered.
No exits.
There's nearly 200 men out there and a lot of M16s!
You did everything to make this private war happen.
You've done enough damage!
This mission is over, you understand me?
This mission is over!
Look at them out there.
Look at them!
If you don't end this now,
they're going to kill you.
Is that what you want?
lt's over, Johnny. lt's over!
Nothing is over! Nothing!
You just don't turn it off!
lt wasn't my war.
You asked me, I didn't ask you!
I did everything I had to do to win,
but someone wouldn't let us win.
Then I come back to the world and I see all those
maggots at the airport protesting me, spitting.
Calling me baby killer and all that vile crap!
Who are they to protest me? Who are they?
Unless they've been me and been there and know
what the hell they're yelling about?
It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo,
it's all in the past now.
For you! For me, civilian life is nothing.
In the field, we had a code of honor.
You watch my back, I watch yours.
Back here, there's nothing!
You're the last of an elite group,
don't end it like this.
Back there I can fly a gun ship, I can drive a tank,
I was in charge of a million dollar equipment.
Back here I can't even hold a job parking cars!
Where is everybody?
I had a friend who was there for us.
There were all these guys, man.
Back there were all these fuckin guys!
who were my friends!
back here there's nothing!
Remember Dan Forest?
Wore this black headband.
I took one of his magic markers, and I said "if found...
mail this to Las Vegas",
because we were always talking about Vegas.
And this fucking car. this fucking 58 Chevy convertible
he was talking about his car
he said he would cruise till the tires fell off.
In one of these barns a kid came up
this kid carrying a shoe shine box.
"Shine please, shine?"
He kept on asking. Joe said ya.
I went to get a couple of beers.
And the box was wired. He opened up the box...
Fucking blew his body all over the place.
He's laying there and he's fucking screaming...
there's pieces of him all over me!
And I'm trying to pull them off, you know...
my friend! it's all over me!
I got blood and everything and...
I'm trying to hold him together, I put him together
the fucking entrails keep coming out!
And nobody would help!
They only go "I want to go home!"
just calling my name.
"I want to go home, Johnny!
I want to drive my Chevy!
But I couldn't find his legs.
"I can't find your legs!"
I can't get it out of my head.
It was seven years.
Every day it hurts.
Sometimes I wake up and don't know
where I am. I don't talk to anybody.
Sometimes a day.
Sometimes a week.
I can't put it out of my mind.Excuse me, can you tell me this
where Delmare Berry lives?
He ain't here.
Go on inside.
He's a friend of mine, he wrote
this address down, right here.
Here.
You can see that's Delmare's writing.
I sure had a hard time finding this place.
- That's his writin'.
- Like I said, he's a friend.
My name is John Rambo.
We served on the same team together in 'Nam.
I don't know if he ever talked about me.
I've got a picture of us together.
Somewhere.
This junk in my pocket!
Here... here it is.
That's me, that's Danforth,
Westmore, Bronson, Ortega,
and there's Delmare, right in the back.
Had to put him in the back because he's so big...
if we didn't, he'd take up the whole picture.
- Delmare's gone.
- What time will he be back?
- He died.
What?
Died last summer.
Died how?
Cancer. Brought it back from 'Nam.
All that orange stuff
they
