's good to belong somewhere.
But you don't belong here.
When are you coming full circle?
- What do you mean?
You say your war is over.
The war outside maybe,
but not the one inside you.
I know why you're here.
But it doesn't work like that.
You're trying to change yourself,
but you stay who you are.
And what am I?
- A full-blooded fighter.
I don't want to be that any more.
- But that's what you are.
Listen, John,
there was once a sculptor
who found a very special stone.
He carried it home and worked on it
for months, until it was finished.
Then he showed it to his friends.
They said: Great statue!
But the sculptor said
the statue had always been there.
All he had done
was to knock away a few pieces.
We didn't make you
into a fighting machine.
We just knocked the rough edges off you.
You have to finally
come to terms with yourself!
Until you come full circle.
I guess I'm not ready yet.
I have to go.
Come and see me
when you're next in the States.
I promise.
Colonel!
I'm sorry.
But it has to end for me sometime.
I understand.
Take cover!
Drop your weapons and stand still!
You can't escape!
Drop your weapons!
There's no escape!
Drop your weapons!
At once!
Something went wrong.
What happened?
- The Soviets intercepted the team.
Trautmann and the others
were taken to the enemy camp.
And now?
I can't do anything.
I'm sorry.
I just thought you should know.
What about me?
You?
- Can you get me in?
You're not serious.
- Of course I am.
Officially it's not possible.
- Then unofficially.
You should know one thing.
If you get taken prisoner
or something leaks out,
we'll deny any knowledge of you.
I'm used to it.
You'll hear from me.
You want buy? Many guns!
No. I'm looking for Mousa Chanin.
What's your name?
- John Rambo.
Wait here.
They sell well here.
Because of the landmines.
Everywhere landmines.
I am Mousa Chanin. What do you want?
- Griggs sent me.
You don't look like the guys
he usually sends. Soldiers.
I'm not a soldier.
- Then what? A mercenary?
No.
- A tourist that lost his way?
I'm not a tourist.
Sorry.
- Do you know where the American is?
In a Soviet fort.
Near Khost, 30 miles from the border.
Mr. Griggs sent
the supplies you wanted.
Do you want to see?
- Yes.
Did you order these?
- Yes.
I've never seen anything like it before.
What are these?
Detonators.
- And this?
What is this?
A blue light.
- What does it do?
Turns blue.
- I see.
How many men will come with us?
I'm the rescue team.
That's crazy. One isn't enough.
We need more people.
Griggs said you'd take me there.
So do it!
I have to take medicine with me;
if not, many people will die.
Do you understand?
I don't know you,
but from the way you look
you have no experience of war.
Or do you?
I've fired a gun before.
Fired a gun before?
Maybe you should go home again
and think things over.
Very long.
I've done that.
Oh really?
OK, if that's what you want.
But you can't get
that American out alone.
If it doesn't work don't blame me.
I'm not taking the responsibility.
Sounds familiar.
I am Colonel Zaysen,
Regional Commander of this sector.
You're the first American
to be captured in Afghanistan.
Congratulations.
I believe you plan
to supply the enemy rebels
with Stinger missiles
to destroy Soviet aircraft.
I'll only answer to your superiors.
Out here I have no superiors.
I am in full command.
You're on your own,
abandoned by your government.
What do you want?
- Cooperation.
This sector has been controlled by us
for five years.
There's not much left for me to do.
There is, so to speak,
no challenge any more.
If you give me information
about the planned Stinger deliveries,
we could both get out of here.
After all, that is what we all want:
Peace.
In the Kremlin
they really have a sense of humor.
Explain.
To the world you talk about peace,
and here you butcher a whole people.
We're not butchering anyone.
You're too
