Pay ransom for our men and finance
the war effort against our allies?
And if some burnt-out POW
shows up on the 6 o'clock news?
Do you want to start the war over again
and bomb Hanoi?
You think the Senate's going to pay
billions for a few forgotten ghosts?
For men! Men who fought
for their country! - That's enough!
Trautman, I'm going to forget
this conversation ever took place.
You bastard!
- And if I were you,
I'd not make the mistake of bringing it
up again. - You're making the mistake.
Yes? What mistake?
Rambo.
Damned Russian bastards.
He's dead now.
Bring him up!
The knife!
These people
are so vulgar in their methods!
They lack compassion.
I'm Lieutenant-Colonel Podovski.
I do not know who you are yet,
but I will.
Take him and clean him up.
That's all.
Thank you, Captain Vinh.
Leave one guard, please.
I see you are no stranger to pain.
Perhaps you have been
among my Vietnamese comrades before?
No answer?
Do you wish to give your name?
What possible harm can that cause?
Pride is a poor substitute
for intelligence.
What you must understand
is that we must interrogate you.
For Sergeant Yushin you're a piece
of meat, a laboratory experiment.
But for me you are a comrade,
similar to myself,
just opposed by an act of fate.
I know you were trying
to facilitate the release
of war criminals. I can appreciate this.
But this incident, your capture, is...
...embarrassing.
We must have an explanation.
Radio your HQ and say that
you have been captured and condemned
for espionage, and that attempts like
these should not be made in the future,
or they
will meet with the same fate as you.
Fuck you!
You wish to test your strength... Good.
Yushin!
Comrade, here is something
that might be of interest to you:
A transcript of the conversation
between your helicopter pilot
and his commander that we intercepted.
"Dragonfly" and "Wolf's Den"...
Colorful names.
Here we are:
"We have them in sight". And the reply:
"Abort the operation immediately."
"This is a recall. Confirm. Over."
It seems you were abandoned
by direct command.
And these are the people
you protect with your pain!
Increase the voltage.
You may scream. There is no shame.
You are strong! Very strong!
The strongest so far.
But you're nearly dead. Poor waif.
Make the radio call.
To talk, to obey
would be so much easier.
Yushin
has a memento for you of this day.
Put it in his eye.
If your own life
means nothing to you, perhaps his does.
Don't tell them anything!
- You will talk.
Yes?
Don't do it!
Do it
now!
Two-two-zero-five-six...
Lone Wolf receive.
This is Lone Wolf...
Lone Wolf, this is Wolf's Den.
Transmit location and status.
What is it?
- It's Rambo, Sir.
We read you,
Lone Wolf. What is your position? Over.
I say again:
What is your position? Over.
Your friend dies if you do not answer.
This is Trautman. Where are you?
Come in!
Murdock...
He's here.
Rambo, we're glad you're alive.
Where are you? Give us your position,
and we'll come to pick you up.
Murdock...
I'm coming 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 get across through Thailand?
Yeah.
- Then go America?
You take me with you?
You take me?
Yeah.
I think you make good choice.
We go?
- Let's go.
You alright?
You... not... forget... me.
No.
I want the rescue team
ready to go in one hour.
You're risking everything. Do you think
one man's worth all that? - Yes.
I order you to withdraw.
- I'll go over your head.
You don't seem to understand that I'm
in charge here. You're just a tool.
We're the machine.
He's not to leave the base.
He never had a chance, did he?
- Like you said: He went home.
Get back.
Come on! To the chopper!
Move!
To the chopper!
Move!
You guys made it!
Chopper on your tail!
