I don't want to spend anytime in a Laotian prison camp

for invading their sovereign airspace.

I'd go through hell to get Sin Jin out.

Come in, Dom. We're pinned down. Come in.

I'm gonna blow the road in front of us.

Careful, String. What if Sin Jin is in that truck?

Excuse me.

Hold it!

Move before you get hurt.

Thank you, Tommy.

See what he's got.

Not so much as a fare-thee-well, Hawke?

Show him the photographs.

He wants the money first.

These refugees know the value of cash on the barrelhead.

The price was agreed.

He wants $2,000 now.

That's par for the course.

If he has what I want, it's worth it.

Show it to him.

You're always saying the Firm's never done anything for you.

Keep on saying it.

That's him. That's Sin Jin.

I couldn't tell, the photograph's so grainy.

The figure's in shadow.

I know my own brother.

Sometimes we see what we want to see, Hawke.

Anyway, that prison camp isn't even government.

It belongs to some local warlord.

But it's deep in Laos.

Politically, it's information we can't act on.

However, if you know someone who can…

Good luck, Hawke.

Michael.

Thank you.

For what?

Laos is Communist territory.

One of the most heavily armed countries on Earth.

I've been waiting for this the better part of my life.

I'd go through hell to get Sin Jin out.

There's so many Communist troops in that place,

it'll take a whole Marine Division to crack ‘em.

What if we put together a small, specialized unit?

Just zip right in there, snatch him out and be gone.

Yeah? And what about supplies, ammunition?

Where you gonna get ‘em?

I'll sell a painting.

Hell, I'll sell them all if I have to.

Well, it might just work.

If you had John Wayne with you.

Where are you gonna find a bunch of guys

who are trained in this kind of stuff on such short notice?

Well, we're down to the final laps

of the last heat, ladies and gentlemen.

It's been one of the toughest and a grueling season for these men.

Number 98 Mike Willamite takes a header off the bumps leaving the field wide open

for the number 2 and 3 man.

The track is heating up as we get into the last lap.

Now, 16, Lancaster pulls up to the 3rd pole position

as these 3 fight it out for dominance in the Olive County Dirt Bike Rally.

It's been a thrilling night for all the competitors as well as the fans,

who've followed them from the beginning.

And the winner is Sebastian Robmiger-Kinney.

Robmiger was hiding there throughout the season,

never placing higher than 2nd with his sheer determination.

And let's hope this works…

I don't know, Hawke. It's been over 10 years since I handled an M-16.

Now, we've changed a lot since Nam.

Now, I don't mean slowed down.

I mean just… changed.

He sure could use you.

When do we go?

And this great nation of ours

has always cherished its many national resources.

Let us not just preserve our environment,

but enhance it for the benefit of all our future generations.

It is the one legacy we must pass on to our children

and to our children's children, for all time.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are you kidd’n?

The next Senator of this state is com’n with us?

No way.

He owes as much to Sin Jin as the rest of us. Maybe more.

We need him.

Gary Wallace can get us visas, permits.

Without his political help, things’ll be a lot tougher.

He was one of us once.

Maybe he won't forget.

Hell, I'm glad that's over.

So, it's good to see you guys again. Really is.

My name is Dominic Santini.

Nice to meet you, sir.

- How are you? - Fine, thanks.

Hawke, I've given your plan a lot of thought.

Did you buy it?

I just can't go along with it.

We got a few bumps to work out.

There's not a chance in a million you'll pull it off.

Well, we'll do it somehow.

Hey, come on, Hawke, stop it. This is complete madness.

It just cannot be done.

Handful of men against an entire garrison? Come on!

No explanations or apologies.

Good to see you again.

Good luck, Senator.

Hey, wait a minute, huh?

You guys'll never get back without me.

- Hey, it's going to be a ball. - Yeah, right, right, right.

Come on.

This is a replica of the camp that we've reconstructed

from 2-month-old surveillance photos.

2 months?

Everything could've changed by now.

You know, more guards.

You know how they moved us around.

The prisoners, they might not even be there.

We know where they are.

Before we move, we'll have up-to-date reconnaissance.

You got any other questions?

Yeah, I got a couple.

Like, who's gonna take out these guard towers?

I'll handle it.

And the guard barracks?

Helicopter pad, armed jeeps, snipers, ground fire.

You're gonna handle all that, too?

Yeah, I got it covered.

String, call this madness off before it's too late.

He's right, Hawke. It's impossible.

I told you, I'll handle it.

You're right, Wallace. There's no way Hawke could cover all that.

What the hell?

Well, what are we all waiting for?

Let's go get Sin Jin.

We've got Tonkin Bay to the north. We're on course for Laos.

Well, there's the Mekong Delta. For better or worse.

We're in Laos. Keep a sharp eye out for bogeys.

Start cameras.

Run infrared, thermal and standards.

Infrared, thermal, and standard.

All strokes tracking.

- How’s it look? - Done.

Let's get outta here. We can analyze later.

I'm gonna go in.

I gotta find out what they really got.

I knew it, I knew it. You just couldn't resist it.

Oh, pray for me, Mother.

Just keep it bolted to the treetops, partner.

I don't wanna spend any time in a Laotian jail

for invading their sovereign airspace.

You've seen enough? Let's get outta here.

They're well-armed. At least we learned that.

Now, I just want to know how you plan on getting into that camp.

Walk.

Here they are.

Here we are.

Did you ever think you'd see this place again?

- No. - Hi. How are you?

- Just like R & R, right, Wallace? - You bet.

Hey, let's get your stuff stowed in the hotel here.

I'll take you over to meet Chin Mao.

Let's do it.

Tom yum kung!

This stuff is pretty good.

Hey, Wallace. Relax.

Enjoy the surroundings while you still have a chance, huh?

Well, even in Bangkok,

4 Americans with a warehouse full of weapons

could draw a bit of attention.

He's right. If we ever get caught,

we could spend the rest of our lives in a Bangkok jail

following elephants with a shovel.

Well, I'm in favor of starting as soon as we can.

Ditto.

This Thai brew hasn't gotten any worse over the years, has it?

Neither has she.

It's been a long time, Hawke.

Too long.

Gentlemen, meet Charmaine Beaucaire.

- This is Jack Kearns. - Hello.

Gary Wallace.

- Hello. - Hello.

And Dominic Santini.

- Would you care to sit? - No. Merci, Monsieur Santini.

It's a small team for what you have in mind, Hawke.

That's why we need an expert guide.

Gentlemen, meet Chin Mao.

I tell you,

I think Kearns would be late for his own funeral.

He probably got himself in trouble.

If the Thai police have him, we'll never get him out in time for this mission.

You know a better cover than being an American tourist?

Shovels?

Now that's the kind of farm work I like.

Well, what do we have here?

Okay, since none of you have to be here,

I'd like to just take a second to tell you thanks.

Tomorrow we're gonna go in and get Sin Jin

and any other Americans we can, out of that camp.

But I'll tell you,

there's nobody else on Earth I'd rather go in with.

Hey, you guys, get those weapons loaded, now.

Hurry up!

Get it. Let's go.

Customs.

Stall ‘em.

Very interesting group.

Is there a problem here?

I want to check your equipment.

Oh, it's just farm equipment for my chateau in the country.

Your friend got something against agriculture?

Very interesting vehicle for tourists.

Kearns, why don't you show him how it works?

Stop!

Hop in! Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go!

Keep your head down. We're out of here. Let's go!

Let's go.

Punji sticks.

For hunting?

These can't be left over from the war.

No, they're new.

Whoever put them there is saying,

"Any further, and you risk your life."

Yeah, but who'd bother?

This is nothing but a freeway for lizards and rats.

Why don't you ask him?

Don't anybody move.

I ain't even gonna breathe.

He asks if you are American mercenaries.

No.

We're combat archaeologists on a field trip.

What'd he say?

Something to me which I will not translate.

Well, you tell him I don't care for his hospitality.

You can also tell him if he doesn't get his act together,

I'm not gonna do business with him.

He says, "What is this business, before I kill you?"

American POWs, Prisoners of War.

Tell him, if he knows where they are,

I'll pay him in American money.

He wants to know where the money is.

First we deal.

To show good faith.

There's more.

Much more, thousands.

So terribly continental.

You know, nothing but the best for my team.

Well, where's the champagne, hmm?

Don't you worry about it.

We get Sin Jin out tomorrow, we'll be swimming in it.

To Sin Jin.

- I'll drink to that. - To...

Well, it's about time.

Are we glad to see you.

Hell, I got her all bedded down.

She's camouflaged and fueled up and ready to go.

Then tomorrow we do it.

Yep. Tomorrow.

Nice and peaceful.

Let's go.

Wallace.

Wallace, come on.

They're Asians. Where are the Americans?

Let's get outta here.

It's a trap.

They're prisoners.

The Cong know we're here.

The Cong? What's the matter with you, Wallace?

They always know.

Come on. Let's get outta here.

I can't stand it anymore. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry man, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It was me, Kearnsie.

What do you mean? What was you?

I sold you out.

What?

I sold you out man. I told them about the… I told them about the break.

The tunnel, I told them where it was.

You buried me in that hellhole for another year?

I just couldn't stand it anymore.

We had the tunnel finished. We were home.

I just thought if I came back here, I'd make it up.

Nothing you do is gonna make up for all you did, Wallace.

No!

Dom, come in. Come in, Dom. We're pinned down. Come in.

I bit my tongue until it bled. I tried to pass out. I tried.

We all almost broke, but we didn't.

I was too weak.

Oh, no. No way.

They're moving the prisoners out.

All right.

Move!

Not him, he left us here.

To hell with him.

I need him. I need all of ya. Let's go.

Let's get those prisoners moved out.

- Watch it! - Let's go.

Come on, move it!

Kearns!

Come on, get in, get in, get in!

We did it, Hawke, we did it!

Sin Jin?

We didn't get him. I think he's in that truck.

We got to cut him off before they get to that bridge.

We'll be facing whole divisions. We'll never get him back.

I don't show ‘em. The river road's a blank.

No, they're down there. Just keep scann’n.

We'll never knock ‘em out with small arms.

We need Hawke and that chopper.

We can't wait for Hawke.

Wallace!

Wallace!

Wallace!

What the hell are you doing? Wallace!

There they are.

It's an old plantation road. They're almost to the river.

I'm gonna blow the road in front of ‘em.

Careful String, what if Sin Jin is in that truck?

Give me the guns.

Sin Jin.

Sin Jin Hawke. 1st Air Cav. Where is he?

They took the others away just after the rains.

When? Where?

Don't know.

Gone, all gone.

Sin Jin?

Oh, Hawke.

Let's get them out of here. Come on! Here! Let's go! Go!

- Get going! - Got it!

We're outta here.

I'm not leaving without Sin Jin.

Another time, String.

Sin Jin.

If you can you hear me,

this is your brother, String.

I'm coming back.

Pal, I swear to God, I'm coming back.

Aim!

Out.

Aim. Out.

Aim. Out.

Order out.

Freeze it. Out.

Hell of a eulogy.

And I thought he was a coward.

But he sure died a hero.

Well, Cong made him crack one time.

But what about all the other times?

He was a hero.

Anybody want a beer?

Too many calories.

Hey, Kearns?

Maybe just one.

You know, they say,

"He who drinks with old friends never puts on weight."

That's an old Italian saying, you know.

Old Italian named Santini.
