No Dead Heroes (1986) - full transcript
Left for dead in Vietnam, Lieutnant Cotter became a guinea pig for KGB baddie Mitovitch. Implanted with a contro microchip, he is turned into a mindless killer. His colleague Lieutnant Sanders goes looking for him in Cambodia, then in Salavador, where they shoot lots of bad Latinos.
Damn it, James!
Order a ceasefire
on your fuckin' mortars.
Move it! Incoming!
What?
You're hitting our area.
One more time
and you don't have to
worry about the slopes.
You'll be worried about me.
Do you read me, James?
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
Very good.
[IVAN LAUGHING]
Help me out, please.
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
So, you don't wanna talk?
You don't wanna
talk to me?
Talk!
[GROANING]
Which one of you
is the CIA agent?
You are the CIA.
I'm not!
[SPITS]
Nobody spits
on my face.
Nobody spits
on my face,
God damn it!
You son of a bitch,
nobody spits on my face.
Oh, there you are, men.
We got a prisoner here
for you, sir.
Send him to
interrogation.
I need you here.
You got new orders.
Again?
I thought we were
supposed to be
going on R and R
in a couple of days.
It seems that
Mr. Baylor here is
in need of our services.
He's with the CIA.
By the way,
this is Captain Cotter,
Lieutenant Sanders.
CIA?
What the hell is
so important that brings
the spooks down here
to the end of the world?
I'll let the CIA explain
about that to you.
One of our people is
running an operation
north of here.
We kept in daily contact
with him until yesterday.
We have reason to believe
he's been captured
and taken to a POW camp.
If I'm not mistaken,
he's in your area
of responsibility.
What's that got
to do with us?
Mr. Baylor here has
orders from the top
to rescue
and if necessary
to terminate his agent
under the guise of
rescuing all the POW.
Terminate?
What kind of shit is that?
COTTER: Correct me
if I'm wrong, sir.
But the camp
you're talking about
is Kobi-tan-tan
and the commander there
is a little sadistic bastard
by the name of
Colonel Minh.
Right on both counts.
Sir, Tien Kien Cao was
at that area last month.
He tells me
it is a real butcher shop.
They got a Russian adviser
that's a little nuts,
and most of the people
going in are dead
in a matter of days.
Now, if you ask me,
we're wasting
a lot of time,
not to mention
lots of good lives.
Besides, they've got
a crack unit in that area
providing security.
Well, gents,
orders are orders.
But just for
the fun of it,
Mr. Baylor,
what makes your agent
so damn important
that I should risk
the lives of my men?
The agent is not important.
He knew he was expendable
when he undertook
the operation.
It's what he knows.
If my man breaks
under interrogation,
he could divulge
certain information
that would be very damaging
in the United States.
I'm afraid that
I'm not in the liberty
to let you know
what that information is.
Call that fuckin' James.
He's at it again.
Are you sure?I could kill
that bastard.
It's Charlie this time.
I already checked it out.
Get your
equipment together.
We move out
immediately.
We've got 24 hours
to reach our objective.
We'll pick you up
at these designated
coordinates.
[WOMAN CRYING]
You are a spy.
You are an agent.
If you're not an agent,
what were you doing
with the opium caravan?
I'm an American soldier.
Liar! Liar!
If I say you're an agent,
you're an agent.
You understand me?
If I say you're an agent,
you're an agent.
Comrade!
One of them is a CIA.
I don't care if
I have to kill each
and every one of them.
Besides, according to
the Geneva Convention,
we can shoot spies.
He was a spy.
Bring the next one in.
[CRYING]
Pass the word for
possible ground assault.
Get moving!
Sir. What?
Air Cav says
they ain't got
anything available.
Bullshit! You still get
contact with them?
Yes, sir.
What do you mean
you ain't got
nothing available?
I need that chopper
at 0700.
Say again?
Okay, I'm coming
over there personally.
Osborne. OSBORNE: Sir.
Get my fuckin'
jeep ready.
We're going over
to Air Cav.
OSBORNE: Yes, sir!
And get some support
from Charlie company.
Yes, sir.
Rover 6, Rover 6,
this is Rover 2,
you read me?
No tying down!
Orders.
Fuck the orders.
Get out of here.
Move! Move!
Where's that fuckin' chopper?
Your guess is
as good as mine.
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
Hey!
Loading.
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
Shit.
Fuckin' bastards.
Move it, Sanders.
Go. Get in.
IVAN: So, Comrade,
after so many failures
do you think
it'll work this time?
SCIENTIST: We've improved it.
The last prisoner that
we implanted with it lived
and he passed all the tests.
IVAN: What's the procedure?
SCIENTIST: The implantation
is quite complicated.
The process takes
about 14 hours.
We implant the chip into
the base of the skull.
Nerve endings are connected
to certain terminals
inside the chip.
We also coat the chip
with special solution
to enhance
the tissue growth.
What do I use
to control the chip?
With this,
we can control
Comrade Cotter.
If you were to
depress this button,
a small electrical current
will be released
into the central
nervous system,
and he'll follow
the pre-programming
of the computer chip.
These buttons bring him
back to normal.
And this button,
please notice that
it's hard to activate.
It will release a larger
electrical charge
to the brain,
and Mr. Cotter
will be rendered,
as the Americans say,
like a vegetable.
Naturally, he's been
programmed to kill.
Naturally.
What about his emotions?
Don't worry.
The chip will override
nearly everything
but the strongest emotions.
You'll have to develop
a method to overcome
that situation.
I have a man at Serbsky
who can take care of that.
But remember, there is
a remote possibility
of failure
if the computer chip
is damaged with
a severe blow
and becomes disconnected
from the nerve.
Let me tell you, Comrade,
if this chip really works,
there's no stopping me.
I can even assassinate
the U.S. president.
What about your promise?
Don't worry.
I keep my promises.
If this is successful,
you will be appointed
to the politburo
including all
the fringe benefits.
But, if you fail, Comrade...
Yes, if you fail,
I'm afraid that
you might meet
with an accident.
When he is able to travel,
take him to the sanitarium
outside of Moscow.
And let me
remind you,
Comrade,
no one must
find out about this.
Well, all I can say is,
if you're gonna continue
to stay out like that,
you're not gonna
go out anymore.
Dad...
[DOORBELL BUZZING]
I'll get it.
You should listen
to your Dad.
Hello. Can I help you?
Mr. Sanders? Yes.
We're from
Mr. Baylor's office.
He'd like to invite you
for a little visit.
Well, you tell Mr. Baylor
I'm not interested, okay?
Hold it.
We're not finished yet.
General Craig
is with Mr. Baylor.
General Arthur Craig?
Yes. Yes, sir.
Your commanding officer
in Vietnam.
CRAIG: Look, Frank,
I let you use my name
to get Sanders here
in the first place.
So, the least you can do
is tell my why,
after 14 years,
you're so interested
in getting Harry Cotter
back from the Russians?
I'm sorry, General.
That's on a
need to know basis.
Need to know basis,
my ass, Frank,
we've known each other
for years.
You know what
my security clearance is.
Well, the Russians
have been experimenting
with new bioelectronics lately
and our sources have it
that they've perfected
a device
using microchips
that can be implanted
in the human brain
and these chips can
override the brain itself.
Are you implying
Harry Cotter got
one of these things
implanted in his head?
Right, General.
Why not just take him out?
You guys definitely
got the hit men to do it.
We need to get
Cotter alive
so the boys in the lab can
investigate this apparatus
and see how it works.
It's much more frightening
than you think, General.
How so?
Just imagine
if they could
implant this thing
into a close aid
of the president
of the United States
or to a head of state,
no matter where.
Excuse me, sir,
Mr. Sanders is here.
Go right in.
Thanks.
Hello, Richard.Hello, General.
Good to see you. How's the family?
Good. Real good. Have a seat.
Thanks.
When did you start
hanging out again
with the spooks?
Thought that wasn't
your style.
It's not.
I'm just trying to make sure
they don't screw up anymore
than they already have.
I presume you remember
Frank Baylor.
I remember Baylor
all right.
We lost Cotter
on that big fiasco of his.
BAYLOR: You know,
I was just doing my job.
I don't need
this kind of talk.
I'll come right
to the point, Sanders.
It's precisely about Cotter
that you're here.
What about Cotter?
We have reason to believe
he's still alive.
Impossible! I saw him hit
when he saved my life.
I'm afraid that
you're mistaken.
Captain Cotter was
merely wounded.
You recognize the man there?
The other man is
Ivan Mitovich.
The two were
evacuated to Hanoi
and then proceeded
to Moscow.
Cotter has been known
to use several aliases.
The most common is
Andrei Zimmerman,
a German national.
It seems that these two
are the perpetrators
of a trail of
international terrorism.
If this is true,
and I seriously doubt
that it is, Baylor,
what do you
expect me to do?
I'm out of the army now.
I want you to work for us.
I want you to find Cotter.
Why me?
CRAIG:
I trained you and Cotter.
You two and myself
are the only survivors
of that group.
If this information
is correct,
and it is Harry Cotter
that they have,
I think you are
the only man
who has a chance
to neutralize this.
You'll have to give me
some time to think
about this, General.
I'm afraid that time
is the only thing
we cannot afford
to give you.
Fuck you, Baylor.
I'm not one of
your pawns anymore.
Okay, Rick,
please make it fast.
We don't have
that much time.
Hi. Hello.
Did you have
a nice day?
So, so.
Okay, let's hear it.
I don't know,
maybe I'm just tired.
Come on.
Let it out.
Harry, Harry Cotter,
they say he's still alive.
The Russians captured him
in Vietnam
and they're making him do
all these terrible things.
My God.
Does Julia know
about this?
No. No, I don't think so.
Is that what those men
came here for?
The CIA wants me
to help them catch Harry.
Are you going to?
I'm thinking about it.
Harry saved my life.
I owe him that much.
Mom, are we going
or not?
Yes, so why don't
you go change?
Going where?
Julia's birthday party.
Oh, I forgot.
Why don't you go change?
No, I'm tired
and I want to think.
Why don't you both
go without me?
Don't say anything
to Julia about what we've
been talking about.
Okay. You're sure
you want us to go?
Come here.
[GUN COCKING]
Happy birthday,
Aunt Julia.
Thank you.
Happy birthday. Thank you.
Here.
Where's Bryan?
They're in the patio.
See you later, Mom. Okay.
My, you look gorgeous.
Thank you.
How was your latest trip?
Great.
I've just arrived
from Hong Kong.
I envy you.
The pleasure is temporary.
I wish Harry was here
to share this moment
with us.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello. Julia.
Listen, happy birthday.
I'm sorry I didn't
get over there.
I'm so tired and...
Thank you,
aren't you coming?
No, Julia...
Well, I won't take no
for an answer.
Okay.
Just give me a chance
to change and I'll be by.
CROWD: ♪ Happy birthday
to you
♪ Happy birthday to you
[DOORBELL BUZZING]
♪ Happy birthday, dear Julia
♪ Happy birthday to you
[GUN COCKING]
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Harry, you're alive.
My God, you were right,
your Dad is alive.
[CAR STARTING]
CRAIG: Nothing I could
possibly say
would make you
feel any better, Rick.
I'm terribly sorry
about your family.
Just want you
to remember,
this mission is
strictly top secret.
On the record,
you don't even exist.
You will start
intensified
training program,
0600, Monday morning.
[SOLDIERS YELLING]
Soon, there'll be
camps like this
around the world, Comrade.
I'm impressed
with the methods.
They've been
carefully planned.
You'd be surprised
with the success
we had
with our
Latin American camps.
But they're nothing
compared to the final plan.
The plan is two-fold.
First, to denounce
these silly
religious beliefs.
Second, discredit
the United States
and the CIA.
How?
We're gonna disrupt
the Pope's
Latin American visit.
Tell me, how long
do you intend
to stay here?
For a few more days.
Then you will
still be here
for the celebration.
I expect so.
Would you accept to
be the guest of honor
for our new graduates?
Of course.
Besides, Andrei needs
more training.
Why don't you
radio Moscow,
let them know
we'll be in El Salvador
on the expected date.
Yes, Comrade.
Excuse me.
Ciao.
Try it.
IVAN: Enough!
Comrade,
meet your new pupil.
Andrei Zimmerman.
But then, I can see
you've already met.
Come on.
Move it, move it.
Come on, move, move.
Move your ass, soldier.
Move!
Move, move, move, move.
You can do
better than that.
Come on!
That was close, lady.
Hey, you're lucky
I didn't blow
your ass off.
You're one second late.
Do it again. Move!
Sir!
Good morning,
Sergeant.
How's our man doing?
Doing just fine, sir.
Coming right along.
Well, I'm afraid
we'll have to cut
his training short.
We need him.
Think he's ready?
I think he can handle it,
I really do.
You've done
a terrific job,
I appreciate it.
Thank you, sir. Carry on.
Rick!
We're going to
have to cut your
training short, old buddy.
Spotted our friends
Ivan and Cotter
in a training camp
in Kampuchea.
Gonna have to
get rolling right away.
Let's do it.
Let's go.
So who are you really?
I'm American.
That's why I'm here.
I don't follow you.
You need
all the help
you can get.
It's America
that's responsible
for most of the economic
and civil strife
in a lot of
Third World countries.
America reaps off
the wealth
and leaves the people
with nothing.
So how can you help?
By setting an example.
How do you mean, example?
I stand up against
the American money machine.
Hopefully,
others will have
enough sense
to follow soon
and help wipe out
this useless
American imperialism.
Don't ask questions.
Your job is to train.
Fine. See you
at training 0600
and don't be late.
Sir, we are
outnumbered.
No. We've got
surprise on our side.
Ten minutes, blow it up.
Everyone knows
their assignments.
Our lives depend
on each other.
No dead heroes.
All right,
that's everything.
Let's go.
IVAN: You should
consider yourselves
very fortunate
for you are among
the chosen few,
entrusted to obtain
our ultimate goal.
You will spread terrorism
around the world
and lay the blame on
the United States of America
for they are
the root of poverty
and hunger everywhere.
In our society,
there must be
one religion,
one government,
one organization
and that is Communism.
You will not fail.
The only failure
you will accept is death.
Stop, open it up.
Right now.
Don't move or
I'll blow you away.
Take him.
Come on.
Where did they go?
I don't know.
Where'd they go?
I don't know.
Hey.
Where did they go?
No.
Where did they go?
They went to El Salvador.
[SCREAMING]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Sanders, come out
or I'll blow your ass off.
Why don't you kill him?
You take care of him.
[SCOFFING]
It will be my pleasure.
Have I got something
for you, baby.
Don't just stand there.
Get in.
Before I blow the boat up.
Why did you blow it up?
So, it won't end up
in the wrong hands.
So, who the hell
are you?
I'm your contact.
I work for Baylor
just like you.
Baylor?
That son of a bitch.
If you have
nothing nice to say,
shut your fucking mouth.
Hurry up.
We've got to be in the camp
tomorrow before noon.
Oh, shit!
[ENGINE STARTING]
SANDERS: So, how did you
get involved with CIA?
BARBARA: Three years ago,
I was studying at UCLA,
political science.
UCLA?
Yes,
my father sent me there.
He had big ambitions for me.
But then, one day,
a group of Communist pigs,
they came
and they killed him.
They also raped my mother
and my sister.
And still, as if
that was not enough,
they burned our house.
They took everything
away from me.
My home and my family
and even my dreams.
Sorry to hear that.
You still haven't
answered my question.
I love freedom
and that's the last thing
anybody's gonna
take away from me.
My God, help me.
I'll do anything
in all my power
to protect that right.
And America
means freedom to me.
I used to think
America should mind
its own business.
I was wrong.
We are a watchdog.
If we go to sleep,
the Communists will
steal this world,
surely as thieves
in the night.
You have your family?
No, no, not anymore.
What happened?
Cotter killed them.
Cotter?
He's the reason
I took this assignment.
I can't believe that.
Well, believe it.
I saw him.
He tried to kill me.
He was my best friend
in Vietnam.
He saved my life.
God, forgive me,
I'm gonna kill him.
What the hell
are you doing out here?
You're young, beautiful,
and your whole life
is ahead of you.
Get out of here
while you got the time.
Don't you think
it's already too late?
It's too late
only if you think it is.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]
There's a traitor
in this camp.
We were ambushed
by government troops.
The weapons are gone.
The coke is gone.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I told you.
You cannot trust a woman.
Are you implying
something?No!
Then, shut your
fucking mouth.
Callate,you're
still too young
to know everything.
But not too young
to die for you.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
MAN: The buyer comes tonight.
What do I do?
You tell me.
What do I do?
[ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING]
[CONGREGATION CLAMORING]
I must admit, Enrique,
I wasn't expecting
all of this.
Senor,for you,
I'll do everything.
And with your help,
I'll free El Salvador
from the imperialist
Americanos
and then you
gonna make me
presidente,no?
IVAN: I suggest
you finish your revolution?
No competencia, Senor.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Look at her,
brains and beauty.
Beauty is
also deceiving.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Good evening.
Gentlemen,
good evening.
For you.
I would like
to propose a toast
for my beautiful senorita.
I would also like to
propose a toast to Andrei,
the former Harold Cotter,
U.S. Army,
and to the success
of his next mission.
Mr. Lim is here.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Buenas noches,
Mr. Lim.
I want you to
meet my friends,
SenoritaBarbara,
SenorIvan,
and SenorAndrei.
You have
our merchandise?
Unfortunately,
Mr. Lim,
my men were ambushed
by the government troops.
They took the guns
and the cocaine.
Mr. Bautista
will not like that.
You have our cocaine.
You give us our guns
or else...
What do you want me
to do?
I told you
we lost everything.
I lost my men,
the guns, the cocaine,
and now,
you tell me this.
I think you better leave
before I kill you.
This is unfortunate.
Nobody crosses
Mr. Bautista.
Ah, Bautista.
I'm not afraid
of Bautista.
You're talking to
the future presidente
of El Salvador.
I think you better leave
before I change my mind.
[SPITS]
Bautista!
Sanders.
Sanders, where are you?
[GASPS]
What the hell
is going on?
Two hours late.
I'm sorry,
I couldn't get away
from Enrique.
Cotter and
the Russians are here.
I heard this morning
that they're getting ready
for a major offensive
tomorrow
to serve as diversion
for the big plan
in three days.
Plan? What plan?
I don't know
what the plans are.
We've got to
get hold of Baylor.
Okay, I'll take you
to the radio room.
Come on. Let's go!
Charlie One.
Charlie One,
this is Charlie Two,
do you read? Over.
Charlie One,
this is Charlie Two.
Do you read? Over.
Charlie Two,
this is Charlie One.
Go ahead.
Subject is confirmed.
I repeat.
Subject is confirmed.
So, what's gonna happen
in three days?
Three days.
Three days.
Hurry up!
Come on. Haven't got
lots of time here.
Three days.
What's gonna happen
in three days?
The Pope! The Pope!
They're going to
El Salvador.
Charlie Two, you must
neutralize the subject
at any cost.
I repeat, at any cost.
Roger.
Soldados,get their guns!
I told you before,
Comrade,
beauty can be
deceiving.
Cabrona!
And you,
I'm going to
blow your head off.
IVAN: Wait, I have
better plans for him.
You and me, Cotter.
You and me.
Take them to
the torture chamber.
Soldados!
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[GROANING]
I'll remember you.
I can assure you,
Mr. Sanders,
my student here is
much better at this
than Lopez.
In fact, maybe
a little demonstration
is in order.
Andrei, why don't you
show Mr. Sanders
some of your skills?
Harry.
Harry.
It's me, Rick.
Rick Sanders.
What...
IVAN: Hold it.
You're a sick man.
Not sick, Mr. Sanders,
perceptive.
In three days,
he's going to
kill the Pope.
After we finish with you,
we'll have to kill
the president
of the United States?
Imagine, all the blame
falls on the CIA.
If you want to
kill somebody,
why not kill her?
She deserves it the most.
SenorComrade.
Why don't you give me
the honor of killing her?
You want her? Si.
Take her. She's yours.
Muchas gracias,Comrade.
Come along, Andrei.
We've got other matters
to attend to.
Cabrona!
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[GASPS]
He's gonna rape me.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I'll kill you.
Do you understand me?
I'll kill you.
You bastard, I'll kill you!
[BARBARA SCREAMING]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]

No!
No!
No! No!

No! No! No!

[GROANING]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SPITS]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
We must hurry.
I just killed Enrique.
Come on.
Get back.
I told you
I'd remember you.
Don't worry.
They're on our side.
Good.
You've got to
blow the camp now.
I'm going to get Cotter
no matter what.
You have an
extra magazine, pal?
Good luck.
Okay, you heard the man,
you know what to do.
Go now.
Hurry! Move!
SOLDIER: Enrique is dead.
Enrique is dead.
Enrique is dead.
Enrique is dead.
Only one of us
walks out here alive.
Get in the chopper.
[HELICOPTER HOVERING]
Get in the chopper man,
I'll cover you.
Sanders?
Where's the fucking chopper?
Where's
the fucking chopper?
Where's the chopper?
[CRYING]
SANDERS: It's over. Where's the chopper?
It's over.
Where's the chopper? We're goin' home.
This time
we're going home.
Come on, buddy.
Sanders, behind you,

Order a ceasefire
on your fuckin' mortars.
Move it! Incoming!
What?
You're hitting our area.
One more time
and you don't have to
worry about the slopes.
You'll be worried about me.
Do you read me, James?
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
Very good.
[IVAN LAUGHING]
Help me out, please.
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
So, you don't wanna talk?
You don't wanna
talk to me?
Talk!
[GROANING]
Which one of you
is the CIA agent?
You are the CIA.
I'm not!
[SPITS]
Nobody spits
on my face.
Nobody spits
on my face,
God damn it!
You son of a bitch,
nobody spits on my face.
Oh, there you are, men.
We got a prisoner here
for you, sir.
Send him to
interrogation.
I need you here.
You got new orders.
Again?
I thought we were
supposed to be
going on R and R
in a couple of days.
It seems that
Mr. Baylor here is
in need of our services.
He's with the CIA.
By the way,
this is Captain Cotter,
Lieutenant Sanders.
CIA?
What the hell is
so important that brings
the spooks down here
to the end of the world?
I'll let the CIA explain
about that to you.
One of our people is
running an operation
north of here.
We kept in daily contact
with him until yesterday.
We have reason to believe
he's been captured
and taken to a POW camp.
If I'm not mistaken,
he's in your area
of responsibility.
What's that got
to do with us?
Mr. Baylor here has
orders from the top
to rescue
and if necessary
to terminate his agent
under the guise of
rescuing all the POW.
Terminate?
What kind of shit is that?
COTTER: Correct me
if I'm wrong, sir.
But the camp
you're talking about
is Kobi-tan-tan
and the commander there
is a little sadistic bastard
by the name of
Colonel Minh.
Right on both counts.
Sir, Tien Kien Cao was
at that area last month.
He tells me
it is a real butcher shop.
They got a Russian adviser
that's a little nuts,
and most of the people
going in are dead
in a matter of days.
Now, if you ask me,
we're wasting
a lot of time,
not to mention
lots of good lives.
Besides, they've got
a crack unit in that area
providing security.
Well, gents,
orders are orders.
But just for
the fun of it,
Mr. Baylor,
what makes your agent
so damn important
that I should risk
the lives of my men?
The agent is not important.
He knew he was expendable
when he undertook
the operation.
It's what he knows.
If my man breaks
under interrogation,
he could divulge
certain information
that would be very damaging
in the United States.
I'm afraid that
I'm not in the liberty
to let you know
what that information is.
Call that fuckin' James.
He's at it again.
Are you sure?I could kill
that bastard.
It's Charlie this time.
I already checked it out.
Get your
equipment together.
We move out
immediately.
We've got 24 hours
to reach our objective.
We'll pick you up
at these designated
coordinates.
[WOMAN CRYING]
You are a spy.
You are an agent.
If you're not an agent,
what were you doing
with the opium caravan?
I'm an American soldier.
Liar! Liar!
If I say you're an agent,
you're an agent.
You understand me?
If I say you're an agent,
you're an agent.
Comrade!
One of them is a CIA.
I don't care if
I have to kill each
and every one of them.
Besides, according to
the Geneva Convention,
we can shoot spies.
He was a spy.
Bring the next one in.
[CRYING]
Pass the word for
possible ground assault.
Get moving!
Sir. What?
Air Cav says
they ain't got
anything available.
Bullshit! You still get
contact with them?
Yes, sir.
What do you mean
you ain't got
nothing available?
I need that chopper
at 0700.
Say again?
Okay, I'm coming
over there personally.
Osborne. OSBORNE: Sir.
Get my fuckin'
jeep ready.
We're going over
to Air Cav.
OSBORNE: Yes, sir!
And get some support
from Charlie company.
Yes, sir.
Rover 6, Rover 6,
this is Rover 2,
you read me?
No tying down!
Orders.
Fuck the orders.
Get out of here.
Move! Move!
Where's that fuckin' chopper?
Your guess is
as good as mine.
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
Hey!
Loading.
[SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE]
Shit.
Fuckin' bastards.
Move it, Sanders.
Go. Get in.
IVAN: So, Comrade,
after so many failures
do you think
it'll work this time?
SCIENTIST: We've improved it.
The last prisoner that
we implanted with it lived
and he passed all the tests.
IVAN: What's the procedure?
SCIENTIST: The implantation
is quite complicated.
The process takes
about 14 hours.
We implant the chip into
the base of the skull.
Nerve endings are connected
to certain terminals
inside the chip.
We also coat the chip
with special solution
to enhance
the tissue growth.
What do I use
to control the chip?
With this,
we can control
Comrade Cotter.
If you were to
depress this button,
a small electrical current
will be released
into the central
nervous system,
and he'll follow
the pre-programming
of the computer chip.
These buttons bring him
back to normal.
And this button,
please notice that
it's hard to activate.
It will release a larger
electrical charge
to the brain,
and Mr. Cotter
will be rendered,
as the Americans say,
like a vegetable.
Naturally, he's been
programmed to kill.
Naturally.
What about his emotions?
Don't worry.
The chip will override
nearly everything
but the strongest emotions.
You'll have to develop
a method to overcome
that situation.
I have a man at Serbsky
who can take care of that.
But remember, there is
a remote possibility
of failure
if the computer chip
is damaged with
a severe blow
and becomes disconnected
from the nerve.
Let me tell you, Comrade,
if this chip really works,
there's no stopping me.
I can even assassinate
the U.S. president.
What about your promise?
Don't worry.
I keep my promises.
If this is successful,
you will be appointed
to the politburo
including all
the fringe benefits.
But, if you fail, Comrade...
Yes, if you fail,
I'm afraid that
you might meet
with an accident.
When he is able to travel,
take him to the sanitarium
outside of Moscow.
And let me
remind you,
Comrade,
no one must
find out about this.
Well, all I can say is,
if you're gonna continue
to stay out like that,
you're not gonna
go out anymore.
Dad...
[DOORBELL BUZZING]
I'll get it.
You should listen
to your Dad.
Hello. Can I help you?
Mr. Sanders? Yes.
We're from
Mr. Baylor's office.
He'd like to invite you
for a little visit.
Well, you tell Mr. Baylor
I'm not interested, okay?
Hold it.
We're not finished yet.
General Craig
is with Mr. Baylor.
General Arthur Craig?
Yes. Yes, sir.
Your commanding officer
in Vietnam.
CRAIG: Look, Frank,
I let you use my name
to get Sanders here
in the first place.
So, the least you can do
is tell my why,
after 14 years,
you're so interested
in getting Harry Cotter
back from the Russians?
I'm sorry, General.
That's on a
need to know basis.
Need to know basis,
my ass, Frank,
we've known each other
for years.
You know what
my security clearance is.
Well, the Russians
have been experimenting
with new bioelectronics lately
and our sources have it
that they've perfected
a device
using microchips
that can be implanted
in the human brain
and these chips can
override the brain itself.
Are you implying
Harry Cotter got
one of these things
implanted in his head?
Right, General.
Why not just take him out?
You guys definitely
got the hit men to do it.
We need to get
Cotter alive
so the boys in the lab can
investigate this apparatus
and see how it works.
It's much more frightening
than you think, General.
How so?
Just imagine
if they could
implant this thing
into a close aid
of the president
of the United States
or to a head of state,
no matter where.
Excuse me, sir,
Mr. Sanders is here.
Go right in.
Thanks.
Hello, Richard.Hello, General.
Good to see you. How's the family?
Good. Real good. Have a seat.
Thanks.
When did you start
hanging out again
with the spooks?
Thought that wasn't
your style.
It's not.
I'm just trying to make sure
they don't screw up anymore
than they already have.
I presume you remember
Frank Baylor.
I remember Baylor
all right.
We lost Cotter
on that big fiasco of his.
BAYLOR: You know,
I was just doing my job.
I don't need
this kind of talk.
I'll come right
to the point, Sanders.
It's precisely about Cotter
that you're here.
What about Cotter?
We have reason to believe
he's still alive.
Impossible! I saw him hit
when he saved my life.
I'm afraid that
you're mistaken.
Captain Cotter was
merely wounded.
You recognize the man there?
The other man is
Ivan Mitovich.
The two were
evacuated to Hanoi
and then proceeded
to Moscow.
Cotter has been known
to use several aliases.
The most common is
Andrei Zimmerman,
a German national.
It seems that these two
are the perpetrators
of a trail of
international terrorism.
If this is true,
and I seriously doubt
that it is, Baylor,
what do you
expect me to do?
I'm out of the army now.
I want you to work for us.
I want you to find Cotter.
Why me?
CRAIG:
I trained you and Cotter.
You two and myself
are the only survivors
of that group.
If this information
is correct,
and it is Harry Cotter
that they have,
I think you are
the only man
who has a chance
to neutralize this.
You'll have to give me
some time to think
about this, General.
I'm afraid that time
is the only thing
we cannot afford
to give you.
Fuck you, Baylor.
I'm not one of
your pawns anymore.
Okay, Rick,
please make it fast.
We don't have
that much time.
Hi. Hello.
Did you have
a nice day?
So, so.
Okay, let's hear it.
I don't know,
maybe I'm just tired.
Come on.
Let it out.
Harry, Harry Cotter,
they say he's still alive.
The Russians captured him
in Vietnam
and they're making him do
all these terrible things.
My God.
Does Julia know
about this?
No. No, I don't think so.
Is that what those men
came here for?
The CIA wants me
to help them catch Harry.
Are you going to?
I'm thinking about it.
Harry saved my life.
I owe him that much.
Mom, are we going
or not?
Yes, so why don't
you go change?
Going where?
Julia's birthday party.
Oh, I forgot.
Why don't you go change?
No, I'm tired
and I want to think.
Why don't you both
go without me?
Don't say anything
to Julia about what we've
been talking about.
Okay. You're sure
you want us to go?
Come here.
[GUN COCKING]
Happy birthday,
Aunt Julia.
Thank you.
Happy birthday. Thank you.
Here.
Where's Bryan?
They're in the patio.
See you later, Mom. Okay.
My, you look gorgeous.
Thank you.
How was your latest trip?
Great.
I've just arrived
from Hong Kong.
I envy you.
The pleasure is temporary.
I wish Harry was here
to share this moment
with us.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello. Julia.
Listen, happy birthday.
I'm sorry I didn't
get over there.
I'm so tired and...
Thank you,
aren't you coming?
No, Julia...
Well, I won't take no
for an answer.
Okay.
Just give me a chance
to change and I'll be by.
CROWD: ♪ Happy birthday

♪ Happy birthday to you
[DOORBELL BUZZING]

[GUN COCKING]
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Harry, you're alive.
My God, you were right,
your Dad is alive.
[CAR STARTING]
CRAIG: Nothing I could
possibly say
would make you
feel any better, Rick.
I'm terribly sorry
about your family.
Just want you
to remember,
this mission is
strictly top secret.
On the record,
you don't even exist.
You will start
intensified
training program,
0600, Monday morning.
[SOLDIERS YELLING]
Soon, there'll be
camps like this
around the world, Comrade.
I'm impressed
with the methods.
They've been
carefully planned.
You'd be surprised
with the success
we had
with our
Latin American camps.
But they're nothing
compared to the final plan.
The plan is two-fold.
First, to denounce
these silly
religious beliefs.
Second, discredit
the United States
and the CIA.
How?
We're gonna disrupt
the Pope's
Latin American visit.
Tell me, how long
do you intend
to stay here?
For a few more days.
Then you will
still be here
for the celebration.
I expect so.
Would you accept to
be the guest of honor
for our new graduates?
Of course.
Besides, Andrei needs
more training.
Why don't you
radio Moscow,
let them know
we'll be in El Salvador
on the expected date.
Yes, Comrade.
Excuse me.
Ciao.
Try it.
IVAN: Enough!
Comrade,
meet your new pupil.
Andrei Zimmerman.
But then, I can see
you've already met.
Come on.
Move it, move it.
Come on, move, move.
Move your ass, soldier.
Move!
Move, move, move, move.
You can do
better than that.
Come on!
That was close, lady.
Hey, you're lucky
I didn't blow
your ass off.
You're one second late.
Do it again. Move!
Sir!
Good morning,
Sergeant.
How's our man doing?
Doing just fine, sir.
Coming right along.
Well, I'm afraid
we'll have to cut
his training short.
We need him.
Think he's ready?
I think he can handle it,
I really do.
You've done
a terrific job,
I appreciate it.
Thank you, sir. Carry on.
Rick!
We're going to
have to cut your
training short, old buddy.
Spotted our friends
Ivan and Cotter
in a training camp
in Kampuchea.
Gonna have to
get rolling right away.
Let's do it.
Let's go.
So who are you really?
I'm American.
That's why I'm here.
I don't follow you.
You need
all the help
you can get.
It's America
that's responsible
for most of the economic
and civil strife
in a lot of
Third World countries.
America reaps off
the wealth
and leaves the people
with nothing.
So how can you help?
By setting an example.
How do you mean, example?
I stand up against
the American money machine.
Hopefully,
others will have
enough sense
to follow soon
and help wipe out
this useless
American imperialism.
Don't ask questions.
Your job is to train.
Fine. See you
at training 0600
and don't be late.
Sir, we are
outnumbered.
No. We've got
surprise on our side.
Ten minutes, blow it up.
Everyone knows
their assignments.
Our lives depend
on each other.
No dead heroes.
All right,
that's everything.
Let's go.
IVAN: You should
consider yourselves
very fortunate
for you are among
the chosen few,
entrusted to obtain
our ultimate goal.
You will spread terrorism
around the world
and lay the blame on
the United States of America
for they are
the root of poverty
and hunger everywhere.
In our society,
there must be
one religion,
one government,
one organization
and that is Communism.
You will not fail.
The only failure
you will accept is death.
Stop, open it up.
Right now.
Don't move or
I'll blow you away.
Take him.
Come on.
Where did they go?
I don't know.
Where'd they go?
I don't know.
Hey.
Where did they go?
No.
Where did they go?
They went to El Salvador.
[SCREAMING]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Sanders, come out
or I'll blow your ass off.
Why don't you kill him?
You take care of him.
[SCOFFING]
It will be my pleasure.
Have I got something
for you, baby.
Don't just stand there.
Get in.
Before I blow the boat up.
Why did you blow it up?
So, it won't end up
in the wrong hands.
So, who the hell
are you?
I'm your contact.
I work for Baylor
just like you.
Baylor?
That son of a bitch.
If you have
nothing nice to say,
shut your fucking mouth.
Hurry up.
We've got to be in the camp
tomorrow before noon.
Oh, shit!
[ENGINE STARTING]
SANDERS: So, how did you
get involved with CIA?
BARBARA: Three years ago,
I was studying at UCLA,
political science.
UCLA?
Yes,
my father sent me there.
He had big ambitions for me.
But then, one day,
a group of Communist pigs,
they came
and they killed him.
They also raped my mother
and my sister.
And still, as if
that was not enough,
they burned our house.
They took everything
away from me.
My home and my family
and even my dreams.
Sorry to hear that.
You still haven't
answered my question.
I love freedom
and that's the last thing
anybody's gonna
take away from me.
My God, help me.
I'll do anything
in all my power
to protect that right.
And America
means freedom to me.
I used to think
America should mind
its own business.
I was wrong.
We are a watchdog.
If we go to sleep,
the Communists will
steal this world,
surely as thieves
in the night.
You have your family?
No, no, not anymore.
What happened?
Cotter killed them.
Cotter?
He's the reason
I took this assignment.
I can't believe that.
Well, believe it.
I saw him.
He tried to kill me.
He was my best friend
in Vietnam.
He saved my life.
God, forgive me,
I'm gonna kill him.
What the hell
are you doing out here?
You're young, beautiful,
and your whole life
is ahead of you.
Get out of here
while you got the time.
Don't you think
it's already too late?
It's too late
only if you think it is.

Senor,for you,
I'll do everything.
And with your help,
I'll free El Salvador
from the imperialist
Americanos
and then you
gonna make me
presidente,no?
IVAN: I suggest
you finish your revolution?
No competencia, Senor.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Look at her,
brains and beauty.
Beauty is
also deceiving.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Good evening.
Gentlemen,
good evening.
For you.
I would like
to propose a toast
for my beautiful senorita.
I would also like to
propose a toast to Andrei,
the former Harold Cotter,
U.S. Army,
and to the success
of his next mission.
Mr. Lim is here.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
Buenas noches,
Mr. Lim.
I want you to
meet my friends,
SenoritaBarbara,
SenorIvan,
and SenorAndrei.
You have
our merchandise?
Unfortunately,
Mr. Lim,
my men were ambushed
by the government troops.
They took the guns
and the cocaine.
Mr. Bautista
will not like that.
You have our cocaine.
You give us our guns
or else...
What do you want me
to do?
I told you
we lost everything.
I lost my men,
the guns, the cocaine,
and now,
you tell me this.
I think you better leave
before I kill you.
This is unfortunate.
Nobody crosses
Mr. Bautista.
Ah, Bautista.
I'm not afraid
of Bautista.
You're talking to
the future presidente
of El Salvador.
I think you better leave
before I change my mind.
[SPITS]
Bautista!
Sanders.
Sanders, where are you?
[GASPS]
What the hell
is going on?
Two hours late.
I'm sorry,
I couldn't get away
from Enrique.
Cotter and
the Russians are here.
I heard this morning
that they're getting ready
for a major offensive
tomorrow
to serve as diversion
for the big plan
in three days.
Plan? What plan?
I don't know
what the plans are.
We've got to
get hold of Baylor.
Okay, I'll take you
to the radio room.
Come on. Let's go!
Charlie One.
Charlie One,
this is Charlie Two,
do you read? Over.
Charlie One,
this is Charlie Two.
Do you read? Over.
Charlie Two,
this is Charlie One.
Go ahead.
Subject is confirmed.
I repeat.
Subject is confirmed.
So, what's gonna happen
in three days?
Three days.
Three days.
Hurry up!
Come on. Haven't got
lots of time here.
Three days.
What's gonna happen
in three days?
The Pope! The Pope!
They're going to
El Salvador.
Charlie Two, you must
neutralize the subject
at any cost.
I repeat, at any cost.
Roger.
Soldados,get their guns!
I told you before,
Comrade,
beauty can be
deceiving.
Cabrona!
And you,
I'm going to
blow your head off.
IVAN: Wait, I have
better plans for him.
You and me, Cotter.
You and me.
Take them to
the torture chamber.
Soldados!
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
[GROANING]
I'll remember you.
I can assure you,
Mr. Sanders,
my student here is
much better at this
than Lopez.
In fact, maybe
a little demonstration
is in order.
Andrei, why don't you
show Mr. Sanders
some of your skills?
Harry.
Harry.
It's me, Rick.
Rick Sanders.
What...
IVAN: Hold it.
You're a sick man.
Not sick, Mr. Sanders,
perceptive.
In three days,
he's going to
kill the Pope.
After we finish with you,
we'll have to kill
the president
of the United States?
Imagine, all the blame
falls on the CIA.
If you want to
kill somebody,
why not kill her?
She deserves it the most.
SenorComrade.
Why don't you give me
the honor of killing her?
You want her? Si.
Take her. She's yours.
Muchas gracias,Comrade.
Come along, Andrei.
We've got other matters
to attend to.
Cabrona!
[SPEAKING SPANISH]

He's gonna rape me.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I'll kill you.
Do you understand me?
I'll kill you.

You've got to

Good luck.
Okay, you heard the man,

Only one of us
