position, and
we'll come to pick you up.
Murdock...
I'm comin' to get you.
Duck.
This way.
We safe for now.
You look like hell, Rambo.
- Tough night.
Maybe need this.
You hurt bad.
- It's alright.
Listen...
What you did back there...
...I won't forget it.
Thanks.
What you do now?
Try to get across to Thailand?
Yeah.
Then go America?
Yeah.
You take me with you?
You take me?
Yeah.
I think you make good choice.
Yeah.
We go?
- Let's go.
You alright?
Rambo... You... not... forget... me.
No.
No.
No.
I want the rescue team
ready to go in one hour.
You're risking your career,
your reputation, and even
your family's security.
Do you honestly think any
one man's worth all that?
Yes, I do.
I'm getting you a direct order
to withdraw from this project.
Do I get the rescue team
or do I go over your head?
You don't seem to understand something:
I'm in charge here. You're just a tool.
We're the machine.
I want him placed under arrest.
He's not to leave the base.
He never had a chance, did he?
Like you said, Colonel: he went home.
Yeah. Over here.
Get back.
C'mon. Go to the chopper. Move, move.
Go to the chopper.
Go to the chopper.
Move.
Go to the chopper.
That's it.
Move, move, move.
Hold on.
C'mon. Move it, move it.
Move, move, move, move.
A man at the gun.
Yeah, Yeah.
You guys made it.
Chopper on our tail.
Hang on.
Hold on.
Fire in the tail.
Lone Wolf calling Wolf's Den. Over.
Lone Wolf calling Wolf's Den. Over.
Wolf's Den, this is Lone wolf, do you read?
Wolf's den, this is Lone Wolf, over.
Yes, we hear you, Lone Wolf. Over.
Prepare for emergency landing.
Arriving with American POWs.
You heard.
Prepare for arriving POWs. Let's move.
Glad you made it.
Rambo, I don't make the orders.
I take'em, just like you.
I swear to God I didn't know it
was supposed to happen like this.
It was just supposed to
be another assignment.
Mission...
...accomplished.
You know there's more men out there.
You know where they are.
Find'em...
...or I'll find you.
John.
Where are you going?
I don't know.
You'll get a second Medal of Honor for this.
They should give it to them.
They deserve it more.
You can't keep running,
John. You're free now.
Come back with us.
Back to what?
My friends died here...
Part of me died here...
The war, everything that happened
here may have been wrong,
but dammit, don't hate your country for it.
Hate?
I'd die for it.
Then what is it you want?
I want...
...what they want,
and every other guy who came over here,
and spilt his guts and gave
everything he had, wants...
...for our country to love us...
...as much as WE love it.
That's what I want.
How will you live, John?
Day by day.Let's keep those hammers working!
Rambo!
Let's go.
How are you, Johnny?
Good.
That's all.
I'm sorry they sent you to such
a hellhole. - I've seen worse.
Yeah, you have, haven't you...
I told you that I'd help you
when I could. Are you interested?
You can't possibly want
to stay here for another five years.
In here at least I know where I stand.
- Just hear me out first.
A covert operation
is being geared up in the Far East.
A computer gave your name as one of
3 suitable candidates for the mission.
Mission?
- A hunt for POWs in Vietnam.
Why now? Why me?
The prison camp you escaped from in '71
is the target area.
No one knows that terrain better
than you. The risk factor's very high.
You'd be temporarily reinstated in the
forces, and if the mission's successful,
there may be a presidential pardon.
You interested?
Yeah.
Good. I'll get the necessary clearance.
The next time we meet will be in
Thailand with the special ops designate.
Yes, sir.
All clear?
- Yes, sir.
I want you to know I did
what I could to keep you out of here.
I know.
Do we get to win this time?
This time it's up to you.
That'll be all.
How're you doing, Rambo? I'm Ericson.
Why don't we make it over to the hangar?
You're the chosen one, ha?
You
