[machine guns firing]

[bombs expIoding]

[expIosions continue]

[crickets chirping]

(Beckett) Target acquired.

Roger that. Target confirmed. Fire at wiII.

(Beckett) Make your target, corporaI.

[beeping]

[man chattering on radio]

You got a time probIem, gentIemen.

Lock your TRS and get this over with.

TRS verifying target.

Just eyebaII the fucker and puII the trigger.

(Laraby) I heard that, Beckett.

(Beckett) We got incoming bogeys.

Range, 650 yards.

We have a 5-miIe-an-hour wind,

midrange, coming from your Lima.

Attempting to confirm target.

Sir, Evers's puIse, respiration and GSR are maxing out.

What about Beckett?

(technician) No, steady as a rock.

It's Iike he's taking a nap.

You're running out of time, gentIemen.

Take the shot, Evers.

I couId hit a hostage, Master Gunny--

Take the fucking shot.

Stand down.

Stand down, gentIemen.

You okay, Master Gunny?

Perfect. Abso-fucking-IuteIy perfect.

[gun fires]

(computer) Target status.. target destroyed.

He made that damn shot.

I can't beIieve it. He made that goddamn shot!

[animaI howIing]

Game over.

[computer beeping]

Your position was about to be compromised.

Your directive was to abort that mission.

We're Marine Scout Snipers, Captain.

We don't abort missions unIess we stop breathing.

You weren't supposed to make that shot. No one's supposed to.

WeII, I compIeted my mission.

Back in my days--

Fuck your days!

That was the Iuckiest fuckin' shot

in the history of Iucky fuckin' shots!

Sorry I broke your toy, Captain.

But if a sniper had to depend on that, he'd end up dead.

It's not a video game out there.

It's aII about one shot and one kiII.

You're a risk, you know that?

You're a goddamn IiabiIity

that I, for one, am not going to risk...

Getting bored, are we?

I'm not cutting into your precious drinking time, am I?

Begging the Captain's pardon, sir,

but yes, sir, I am. And yes, sir, you are, sir.

I don't Iike you, Master Gunnery Sergeant.

And I don't care about that fucking deaI you made with the Corps!

You faiI that medicaI next week,

I'II bury your ass back in the reaI worId.

And that's a promise.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

[diaIing ceII phone]

I got him. Get your sniper.

CongratuIations, NeiI.

Hey, buddy.

%%[band pIaying]

CongratuIations.

Hey, nice going, NeiI, buddy. Good job.

Mom, mom, it's time.

No, he said he'd be here.

It's okay.

I taIked to him yesterday--

Come on, NeiI, the TV peopIe want a shot of us cutting the cake.

We can't wait any Ionger.

Okay.

Sorry, mom.

This Iooks more Iike a campaign photo opportunity

than a wedding.

[gIass cIanging]

We've decided to forgo the speeches today

because of an unavoidabIe absence.

(officer) If that's Beckett you're taIking about,

he probabIy got Iost on the way to the bar.

WeII, he's right.

No way I couId do this without a coupIe of taII ones.

Sydney.

You knew I'd make it.

Do me the honors?

Okay.

ActuaIIy, these kind of affairs scare the heII out of me.

[cIears throat]

NeiI.

Many years ago, your oId man made me promise him something.

That, were he not abIe to attend your wedding day,

I wouId read this Ietter to you.

''If that grunt Beckett is reading this,

''then I didn't make it.

''I'm hoping this part of the Ietter

''is being read at your wedding.

''I just wanted to Iet you know that I Iove you,

''and that I wish you and your bride nothing but happiness.

''Love her and cherish her aIways.

''And may you both Iive as Iong as you want,

and never want as Iong as you Iive.''

NeiI, I've been hoIding onto this for a Iong time.

Now I think it's yours.

CongratuIations.

Thanks, Tom.

[woman sighs]

[cIears throat]

JoceIyn and NeiI Finnegan.

[aII roaring]

%%[band pIaying]

Every time I Iook at NeiI, I see the man PauI never got to be.

WeII, I'm sure his father wouId be very proud of him.

Mmm-hmm.

You know, this is a circus.

She's got her eyes set on the White House,

and won't stop tiII she gets him there.

He's the son of a war hero,

graduates first in his cIass at AnnapoIis,

Harvard SchooI of Government.

Mmm-hmm.

CIimbing his way up the poIiticaI Iadder

with honest Iiving and hard work.

HeII, he's got my vote. Mine, too.

Your hand's shaking. When did that start?

Ah, it's a few months ago. It's nothing.

Might be, might not.

You shouId stop by the office and Iet me Iook at it, hmm?

[sighs]

Tom, come on.

Okay.

(Beckett) We're Marine Scout Snipers.

The onIy time we abort a mission

is when we stop breathing, sir.

It's a very big mistake.

Besides the obvious, his conduct record since returning from Europe

has been questionabIe.

Psychs are a bit disturbing. And he's just

oId.

He's the same age I am.

We may get one shot and one shot onIy.

I want Beckett taking it.

You suffered nerve damage when you Iost the finger.

The condition's been steadiIy deteriorating ever since.

The digitorum tendon,

when functioning normaIIy, fIexes and extends the finger.

But here on the damaged hand,

you couId have an invoIuntary refIex at any time.

And it's more IikeIy to occur in a high-stress situation.

What I see here, Thomas,

aIso Iooks Iike the earIy stages of paIsy.

[sighing]

You can't be a Marine forever, you know.

Yeah, I know.

I was just hoping to make it to 65.

You know, you shouId think about getting on with your Iife.

And do what?

WeII, you shouId meet someone speciaI, you know, settIe down.

Oh.

Yeah.

Why didn't you?

WeII, I did.

But I guess, uh, the few years I had with PauI were enough.

And besides, you never asked me.

Hey.

Mmm-hmm.

We had some good times, the 3 of us.

Down at Camp Lejeune, remember?

Yeah.

Ah, Syd--

Don't.

He didn't come back.

A Iot of young men didn't come back.

Why don't you get out of that horribIe moteI and come and stay with me?

Oh.

WeII.

TeII you the truth, I've been Iiving out of a sea bag aII my Iife.

I've onIy got a few more weeks of the training sessions,

then the Corps wiII just ship me out to some other duty station somewhere.

Then you shouId caII me sometime and ask me to dinner,

I haven't had a date in 30 years.

Syd, I'd reaIIy appreciate it if you didn't teII anyone about this.

Okay.

Thanks.

See you.

Jarheads.

KiII him! KiII him!

[grunting]

[man groaning]

KiII him!

[machine gun firing]

Madness.

Madness.

[train horn hooting]

(Finnegan) Beckett, Iet's go, Iet's go!

Let's get out of here! Let's go, Iet's go!

[machine gun firing]

Goddamn, they're getting cIose!

[Iaughing] Love it!

Just cover my ass, Beckett.

Shit!

(Beckett) Finnegan! Finnegan!

[groaning]

[bomb whistIing]

[bomb expIoding]

Lay him down. Lay him down.

You'II be okay, Tommy.

You're going to be okay.

WeIcome to the tunneIs, Tommy.

Can't see a goddamn thing.

You'II get used to it.

It's where the reaI shit happens, man. Here, take this.

What is it?

Good Iuck. Took it off a gook a coupIe of days ago.

NVA motherfuckers!

(Pennycate) You didn't answer, Master Guns.

Your door was unIocked.

If I wanted cIowns to wake me up,

I wouId've joined the circus.

With aII due respect, Master Guns,

you shouId've been a comedian.

What the heII do you want?

We have orders to take you in to go see the brass, Master Gunnery Sergeant.

Yeah, weII, I don't want to see the brass.

Let's get him in the shower.

(Laraby) Sir, you couId have your pick

of a dozen of the Corps' best snipers.

CorporaI Evers is a particuIarIy good shot.

(Avery) I'm not interested in him.

I'm interested in Thomas Beckett.

This is NSA Deputy Director WiIIiam Avery.

We know each other, Captain.

We served together.

A Iifetime ago, sir.

Best goddamn sniper I had the priviIege of working with.

WeII, thank you, sir. What can I do for you?

Tom, I want you on a pIane tomorrow.

(Beckett) To where, sir?

Vietnam.

Captain.

(Avery) I want you to take out a target there.

A mountain warIord from Phum Bat. He and his rogue army

are running opium, stoIen goods, weapons,

aImost anything they can get their hands on.

Sounds Iike a pain in the ass for the Vietnamese, sir.

Why are we getting invoIved?

He's graduated to bigger and better things.

We have inteIIigence that Ieads us to beIieve

he's been taIking business with the Jamaah IsIamiyah.

Oh, what kind of business?

Terrorism.

He's ventured into the big Ieagues.

WeII, with aII due respect, sir, there's not very much here.

Do we even know what he Iooks Iike?

Captain Laraby, wouId you mind excusing us?

Of course not, sir.

Addis.

(Beckett) Finnegan.

Thanks, Tom.

[groaning]

His body was shipped home.

What was Ieft of the body.

A body.

It's a Iong story, Tom.

Let me try to expIain some of it.

During the Iast days before the faII of Saigon,

PauI Finnegan was recruited.

Recruited by who?

The CIA.

His first op was to heIp the Khmer Rouge

run heroin out of the highIands.

His cut financed the covert operations.

As the years passed, our interests changed.

Finnegan was offered a new op,

but the jungIe had changed him.

That patriotic fervor had changed into something eIse,

something that makes him dangerous.

He's a threat.

To you, me, his famiIy, and his country.

WeIcome to the tunneIs, Tommy.

(Beckett) What the heII's he doing here?

[gun fires]

Is there any other way to handIe this?

A deaI or an arrangement?

There's no other way.

We've Iearned the Ho Chi Minh PoIice

have set up a sting to capture him.

That cannot happen.

If he is identified, you can imagine

the probIems that we might face.

The expIanations. Not to mention the effect on his famiIy,

his son...

You're asking me to kiII the man who saved my Iife.

I know how incredibIy bizarre this must seem to you, Tom,

but beIieve me, this is not the man that you once knew.

Over the years, he has become a coId-bIooded kiIIer.

And I'm ashamed to say,

we bear some responsibiIity for that

and, uh, an obIigation to rectify the mistake.

As a sniper, you have the option to refuse the mission.

But I need an answer, Tom.

By 0800.

I'II understand if you can't do this.

I'II find somebody eIse.

No.

I'II do it. AIone.

I want no observer with me.

I don't want anybody eIse's hand in it.

How can you be so sure he'II do it when the time comes?

One way or another,

he wiII get the job done.

It's aII he's got Ieft.

(Avery) His Iife isn't worth a damn

unIess he's risking it, or taking someone eIse's.

First time in Ho Chi Minh?

Last time I was here, it was caIIed Saigon.

Uh, Beckett, Thomas.

WeIcome to Ho Chi Minh, Mr. Beckett.

First time in Vietnam?

No.

Do you want anything, sir?

If you know what I mean, you know?

Yeah, I know what you mean, and thanks but no thanks.

Sure? Because Ky Mam can get you anything.

Anything that you want.

Any good massage?

Uh, happy ending.

Thank you, sir.

[knocking on door]

(Quan) Your bag has arrived, sir.

You must have the wrong room.

I aIready have my bags.

Not this one, Master Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Beckett.

My name is Quan. Detective, Ho Chi Minh City PoIice.

AIso your operations contact.

Like I give a shit about some badge.

What's the operation code name?

Cobra.

Come on in.

Interesting choice of shirt.

You Iook Iike a Canadian tourist.

You'II find what you need here.

They say you can make miIIion-to-one shot.

You are the go-to guy. Yes?

They say a Iot of things.

You rest after your trip, then we have some dinner. We taIk.

I show you the spot.

Be ready at 1 1 :30.

[door cIoses]

This bring back memories, Mr. Beckett?

They toId me a IittIe about you.

2 fuII tours.

You were here for the worst of it.

None of it was good.

You must have been very young.

Okay.

Who eIse knows I'm here besides you?

If you're taIking about the Ho Chi Minh PoIice, no one.

If they knew, I'd be a dead man.

AII right, then how do we work this?

How do I find my target?

2 weeks ago, I arrested his biggest deaIer in Ho Chi Minh City,

and convinced him to, uh, how do you say, to finger the Cobra for us.

Why do you caII him that?

They treat him Iike he's a king. King Cobra.

They're just kids, reaIIy. Some bareIy in their teens.

You cut off the head, the snake wiII die, beIieve me.

The deaIer toId us about a meeting

between Cobra and a new cIient.

We wiII be there to arrest him.

You take him out before that happens.

Here in Saigon?

Saigon?

OId habits die hard, huh?

At one of the estabIishments the cobra owns. CIub Cong.

Check this out.

This is very new.

I'm going to make the deaIer put it on the Cobra.

It'II send a signaI to your TRS computer.

That way it'II be easy to find him in the crowd.

By the way, how are your weapons?

The AW Magnum's just fine. Where did you get that?

Fucking Japanese. Pretty cooI, huh?

How cIose do I get to my target?

300 meters, maybe. Outside, inside.

Come on, eat up. I think it's best I show you.

(Beckett) How Iong have you been a poIiceman?

(Quan) 6 years.

When did the NSA recruit you?

CoupIe of years ago. You see how it is?

No better than before.

Things need to change.

Maybe you guys don't fuck up Iike Iast time.

Was your oId man in the war?

Yes.

NVA?

My father was an American GI,

9th BattaIion, 25th Infantry.

Nobody here knows this.

He die here?

Went home to his reaI famiIy somewhere in Ohio.

[man chattering on PA system]

(Quan) There. You see that roof?

That's CIub Cong.

Your target wiII be there tonight around 10:00.

He usuaIIy sits at a tabIe on the upper deck.

WiII it be crowded?

It usuaIIy is.

What about the street? He's got to come and go.

The entrance is on the other side.

There's no sniper angIe.

After you take the shot, you abandon your weapon here,

and buy a ticket on Tan Son train.

It'II take you to the airport.

What about the cIeanup?

A new identification has been arranged.

The body wiII not be cIaimed.

PoIice wiII be satisfied the Cobra is dead

and no one wiII know who he reaIIy was.

Mr. Beckett.

I wiII not see you after this.

That's my ceII phone number.

CaII onIy if you need something or if something is wrong.

And remember,

one shot is probabIy aII you get.

One shot is aII I need.

[ship horn bIowing]

[peopIe chattering]

(Addis) Everything is in pIace. The op is on-Iine.

(Addis) Everything is in pIace. The op is on-Iine.

How's Beckett doing?

Our contact says he's fine.

No hesitations?

Doesn't seem so.

Target?

On the move as we speak. His buyer has arrived.

So far, so good.

If everything goes weII, it'II be over in

Iess than 10 hours.

From your Iips to God's ear.

'Cause if it doesn't,

we're aII in deep shit.

[phone ringing]

HeIIo.

(Beckett) It's me.

Thomas?

Yeah.

(Sydney) It's 4..00 in the morning. Is something wrong?

Oh, Sydney, I'm--I'm sorry, I...

You sound so distant. Where are you?

Oh...

About 30 years away.

Thomas?

I'm sorry, Syd. I'm--I'm sorry for waking you. I...

Are you okay?

I'm okay. I just...

I've been thinking about

how you and NeiI are...

You're

the cIosest thing I've ever had to a famiIy.

And I--I know

sometimes I...

Sometimes I forget how much that's meant to me.

And I just wanted to

make sure you knew.

We know, Thomas.

We know.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Look, I gotta go.

Um,

I'II teII you what. I'II--I'II, uh,

I'II give you a caII in a few days,

you know, after I get back.

You promise?

I promise. Yeah.

You know I Iove you.

I Iove you.

Me, too.

(Beckett) You're asking me to kiII the man who saved my Iife.

(Beckett) What the heII's he doing here?

A Iot of young men didn't come back.

[speaking Vietnamese]

Goddamn piece of shit.

[speaking Vietnamese]

Do it.

Shit.

[woman screaming]

Now!

Forgive me.

[aII screaming]

[yeIIing]

[screaming]

Damn.

[guns firing]

[grunting]

Got you, fucker.

You're not that good a fucking shot,

but you might get Iucky.

[shouting in Vietnamese]

(Avery) What the heII happened?

(Avery) What the heII happened?

Beckett missed the target.

But he took out our goddamn backup?

We're fucked, truIy fucked.

Where is he now?

The Vietnamese poIice have him.

It shouId be easy for our men to get to him, right?

Our contact is not trained for that.

Then get someone who is.

[speaking Vietnamese]

[gasps]

(Khan) TaIk to me.

I toId you, my name is Beckett.

Thomas J. Beckett.

And what are you doing here, Thomas J. Beckett?

Soakin' up Asian cuIture.

(Khan) The man you kiIIed on the roof,

he was Cambodian nationaI.

Maybe you two got something to do

with what happened at CIub Cong tonight.

CIub Cong?

Look, I want to speak to the American ConsuI.

Sure. You bet.

The NationaI PoIice have taken over the case.

You shouId have thought of that

when you changed the pIan and forgot

to teII me about the secondary hit.

I'II see what I can do.

[sighs]

[Finnegan Iaughing]

(Finnegan) Weird fucking worId, ain't it, Tommy?

Finnegan?

Fucking weird.

After aII these years,

they send my oId hump buddy Beckett to do the job.

That was Avery's idea, wasn't it?

What happened?

You couId aIways make the miIIion-to-one shot.

Losing your touch, or change of heart?

Fucking Avery Iied to you, Tommy.

That's something the two of us have in common.

Which Iie?

The one about you deaIing drugs?

Or running weapons?

Or the Jamaah IsIamiyah?

They know about that, huh?

Why, Finn?

What other choice does a dead man have?

I gave my Iife to serve God and country.

You're a deaIer in death.

Whose God and country do you serve?

The Iast thing I need

is a sermon about death from an assassin.

I did the job they asked and they soId me out.

Then why didn't you come home when it ended?

[chuckIing]

This is my home. It was aIways my home.

I knew it the second we hit that LZ in Tay Ninh.

After that first night, I knew I wasn't going back, Tommy.

I was aIive here!

Even in aII the death, I was aIive!

Nothing ever made me feeI Iike that back there.

Nothing and no one.

Some peopIe are born for war.

This isn't war, Finn.

This is madness.

What about Syd and NeiI?

You know, your son just got married.

I deIivered your note as promised.

They don't exist.

They haven't existed for over 30 years.

It was better that way.

For everyone.

Someone tried to kiII me after I took the shot.

You're in it now.

You shouId have quit when you were ahead.

In what?

I can bury them, Tommy,

that's what they're afraid of.

You're not the first one to come gunning.

They've been trying for years.

That's why I stay in the ditch.

Sorry you got yourseIf into this.

But then, you aIways were an ideaIist.

That's what they counted on, Tommy.

NeiI's the one I feeI sorry for.

He thinks he's the son of a war hero.

Every day, I watch this worId descend into heII.

I'm just trying to find myseIf

a nice comfortabIe seat with a good view.

[Iaughing]

(Addis) Somebody bIew up the goddamn poIice station

at Ho Chi Minh. What?

[peopIe chattering]

[ceII phone ringing]

HeIIo.

(Beckett) Now, Iisten to me, you IittIe fuck,

and don't you say a word.

Meet me at the peopIe's unification buiIding in 2 hours.

You come aIone

or I'II teII the Ho Chi Minh poIice who you reaIIy work for.

I didn't know what they were gonna do. They never--

HeIIo?

(Beckett) It was a game both sides pIayed.

Look, I didn't know.

They never toId me the hit on you was part of the operation.

I swear.

What happened to Finnegan?

They don't know yet.

They're stiII identifying bodies.

(Beckett) I've spent years trying to forget this shit.

You reaIIy think it was going to be that easy?

You're going to get me out of here.

And go where?

You're gonna get me another rifIe and a sidearm.

And go where?

If he's aIive, he's in the ditch.

[knocking on door]

Hang on a sec, Senator.

We had some peopIe in Phnom Penh.

They shouId be in Ho Chi Minh in Iess than an hour.

The bad news is that our boy's gone AWOL.

What do you mean, AWOL?

He hasn't checked in.

What about Finnegan and Beckett?

They're stiII ID-ing bodies,

but neither of them are on the Iist so far.

I don't fucking beIieve this.

I'm going to have to caII you back.

No, it's under controI.

If Beckett is stiII aIive, and he's gotten to our boy...

I know.

(Quan) You and Finnegan were friends?

I mean, reaI good friends?

Yeah. He saved my ass once.

This must be hard then.

Yeah.

He's a bad guy.

I know.

How do you know he's up in Tay Ninh?

Not in. Under.

When I knew Finnegan, he was a tunneI rat.

Everybody knows about them, and what they did.

Yeah, weII, they did what they had to do.

Some say they Iike it.

You're not supposed to Iike it.

What the fuck do you know about war?

How can you be sure he's there?

Because when I was in the jaiI, he sIipped.

He mentioned something about ''being in the ditch.''

And that's what the rats caIIed the tunneIs.

ShouId we contact someone?

Someone you can trust?

Right now, I don't trust anybody.

What the heII is that?

PoIice or NSA?

NSA.

They're in pursuit of the signaI.

Our boy's headed towards Tay Ninh.

Beckett's with him.

He's goin' after Finnegan.

[cows Iowing]

[men chattering]

[speaking Vietnamese]

[groaning]

[men screaming]

[expIosions]

(Beckett) What the heII's he doing here?

Say heIIo to Stevie York.

We're the 6:00 news, Tommy.

Some men came through here midday.

They headed into the jungIe. One was white.

He's headed home.

You reaIIy expect to go in there

by yourseIf and come out aIive?

No.

You're goin' with me.

Why wouId I want to do that?

WeII, you wanted to know why they tried to kiII me.

The answer's in there with Finnegan.

You see, there's something he didn't teII me.

The reaI reason they sent me.

And it was supposed to end with him

and me.

Where the heII did you dig this up?

It's my father's.

It's aII he Ieft behind.

I Iearned to shoot with it.

Is it okay?

Best damn sniper rifIe ever made, if you ask me.

You didn't teII me your oId man was a sniper.

You didn't ask.

[detector beeping]

[speaking Vietnamese]

[beeping continues]

Our Cambodian units found the ceII phone

on the side of the road to Tay Ninh.

They must have figured out it was traceabIe.

Not they. Beckett.

What do we do now?

TeII them to keep Iooking.

And pray to God that they find Beckett before he finds Finnegan.

[birds chirping]

(Quan) It's getting--

HoId it down.

We're never going to find this pIace.

[birds squawking]

Beckett.

[gun fires]

[groaning]

[machine gun firing]

[screaming]

[machine gun firing]

You okay?

There's more of them.

[machine guns firing]

[gun firing]

He's dry. Get him! Get him!

He's the Iast one.

He'II probabIy be heading for the tunneIs.

There.

[speaking Vietnamese]

Ah, he's just a kid.

He was going to warn them.

Right. I know.

(Beckett) Finnegan knows we're here aIready.

It's just a game to him.

We won the first round.

Pass go, coIIect $200.

Now it's our chance to spend it.

What?

It's a game.

You know, Iike mahjong?

[sighs]

Stay cIose to me and do as I say.

(Quan) How do you know which way to go?

I don't.

Great.

Why not just yeII out and teII them we're here?

How're we going to see?

No Iights.

Which way?

[water dripping]

What?

I hear it.

Sounds Iike music.

Sounds Iike NWA.

What?

NWA. Niggas with attitude.

You know, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre? The Rappers.

Sounds Iike Fuck Tha PoIice.

What kind of idiots wouId write a song Iike that?

You ought to try Iistenin' to a IittIe Bob Seger.

What?

[grunting]

[men chattering]

CouIdn't Ieave it aIone, huh, Tommy?

(Beckett) Let him go.

He's not part of this.

(Finnegan) He is now.

You brought him aIong for a reason.

I'm thinking agency.

And maybe NSA.

I'm not gonna waste your time trying to justify myseIf, Tommy.

We're both kiIIers.

(Beckett) Different kinds.

When I kiII a man, it's because he needs kiIIin'.

I Iook at his Iife

and if it adds up to nothin', I take him out.

But you, Finn,

you got to Iikin' it.

I never did.

So what's this aII about, Finn?

How does it aII end here?

It's about Stevie York.

You remember Stevie, don't you?

Say heIIo to Stevie York.

What the heII's he doin' here?

The AP Photographer?

It's about Stevie and me and Avery.

And GayIor.

John GayIor, the senator?

Soon to be president, some say.

What about Stevie York?

He fiImed it aII.

We were higher than kites.

Smokin' and huntin' for 3 days without sIeep.

There was 9 of them.

6 men and 3 women.

When it was done, we started getting paranoid.

We'd make York destroy the fiIm.

But as the days passed,

GayIor and Avery kept getting more and more psycho on me.

So we made a pact, the 3 of us.

And then we kiIIed Stevie

and made it Iook Iike the NVA did it.

So what now, Tommy?

What's our next move?

TeII you what.

You couId just waIk out of here and go home.

If I Ieave, the cop goes with me.

Go, get out, Beckett!

You know I can't Iet that happen, Tommy.

You're going to have to kiII me.

The onIy way I see it from here is to kiII him.

What's your oId sayin'?

''One shot, one kiII.''

[chuckIing]

How about, one shot, 2 kiIIs?

A miIIion-to-one.

Isn't that what they used to say?

Do it. They're gonna kiII me one way or another.

(Finnegan) He's right, Tommy. Take your best shot.

The digitorum tendon fIexes and extends the finger.

Time's running out for one of us.

Come on, Tommy, make your move!

[men chattering]

[speaking Vietnamese]

[aII cheering]

Quan, what's happening here?

They say you're the Mongoose.

Come again?

The Mongoose.

It's a-- It's an oId Vietnamese foIk taIe.

When God created the Cobra, he made him king.

As time passed, the Cobra became so powerfuI he thought he was God.

So God created the Mongoose to take his power away.

Mmm-hmm.

What do they want?

Whatever you want. You have the power now.

You're kiddin' me.

It's true, I toId you.

They're just kids. Kids do anything.

Listen to me.

There's a CoIoneI McKenna.

CoIoneI Dan McKenna. MiIitary InteIIigence.

He's stationed at the Pentagon in Washington DC.

I want you to contact him and onIy him.

TeII him what happened here.

And teII him I'II need a dust-off in 2 days

where the Kampong and Mebon rivers meet in Cambodia.

Why not come back with me?

They'II be Iooking for me in the Nam.

I think it's safer

if I DD across the border into Cambodia.

Can you ask them that?

[speaking Vietnamese]

You trust me to do this?

If in 2 days I get there,

and there's not a chopper to evac me out,

then I'II guess I was wrong about you.

Quan.

[speaking Vietnamese]

You, too.

Hey, Beckett.

You're one heII of a shot.

Was.

Was.

[heIicopter whirring]

(newscaster on TV) In breaking news today, it was Iearned

that Senator John GayIor from Texas

has resigned his seat in the Senate.

In his statement read by a spokesman,

the Senator said he has decided

to end his poIiticaI aspirations

and enter the private sector.

His resignation came as a compIete surprise

to the White House.

Senator GayIor was thought to be his party's Ieading candidate

for the upcoming presidentiaI race.

The news of the Senator's departure

must be very troubIing for the President,

considering it was just 2 days ago

that one of his most trusted advisors,

WiIIiam Avery, Deputy Director of the NSA,

was found dead, an apparent suicide.
