Rambo (1986): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Angel of Destruction - full transcript

(Theme Song Playing)

Rambo!

Anywhere and everywhere, the
savage forces of General Warhawk

threaten the peace-loving
people of the world.

There's only one man to call.

Get me Rambo!

From the canyons of skyscrapers to
the canyons of remote mountain peaks,

Liberty's champion
is unstoppable.

Rambo

helped by the mechanical
genius known as Turbo,

and the master of
disguises named Kat,



the honor-bound
protector of the innocent.

Rambo
the force of freedom.

Company, attention!

I'm sorry my father couldn't
be here, Major Gomez.

I understand.

While we are in the
midst of this invasion crisis,

the President has a great
many demands on his time.

Yes, he does.

But he loves this place as I do.

I feel such a sense
of history here.

I'll bet a lot of history
was made here.

Ah, yes.

Fort Armadilla has
guarded this pass and kept

invaders out of Tierra
Libre for hundreds of years.



Let's hope it can
keep the General out.

Warhawk!

[Explosion]

We're under attack!

Blow it off the face of the map!

Stay here and stay down!

You kids get out of here!

That takes care of them.

Two can play at
that game, Havoc!

See you around, Havoc!

Rambo, catch!
- Thanks, Gomez.

This one's for you.

And don't come back.

See the way those guys ran?

Ha, ha, ha, I wish I'd
been there to see the fun.

We turned them away.

What's this "we" stuff?

I thought you were
a one-man army.

Nah.
- But it's true.

I saw.

You are the bravest
man I have ever seen.

How did you get in here?

Do you know what
breaking and entering is?

It's what you did, and
it's against the law.

I just wanted to join the army.

Turbo's not laughing at you.

It's just that you have a
lot of growing up to do.

You have to go to school.

To be a soldier?

You bet!
- And another thing.

You gotta learn to take orders.

When I told you to get away from
the gate this afternoon, did you listen?

No!

Hey, it's okay.

Look, I tell you
what I'm gonna do.

See this? It's official.

It means that when you grow up,
we're gonna talk this over, okay?

Terrific. Now beat it.

It's past your bedtime.

Another recruit.

Maybe if we play our cards right, there
won't be any fighting when he grows up.

It sounds good.

This gunship is as good
as you say you're bringing.

It could be a real help.

You'll see tomorrow, Troutman.

We in Washington think it'll
make Rambo unnecessary.

It'll have to be
mighty good to do that.

Rambo, you did a great
job defending Tierra Libre

from the General's
Rat Pack yesterday.

Oh, uh, you've met Commander
Steadring, haven't you?

Yes, sir.
What's new in Washington?

Actually, they don't think things
are moving ahead fast enough here.

They're sending a gunship down.

The Spectre. We're gonna
see it in action tomorrow.

Once it's here, I don't think
we'll be needing you anymore.

If you say so.

The General will be
happy to hear this.

They are going to test it tomorrow at
a deserted army base near Rio Ianos.

If it does what they say, I
could level Fort Amadeo

and lead my troops
into Tierra Libre.

But General... I
want that plane!!

I want it at once.

Do you understand?

There she is!

That's some plane.

Now you'll see some action.

Unbelievable.

I think Rambo can
take a vacation.

Look, a small plane.

He's heading straight
for the Spectre.

I don't like it.

It's the General's men.

They're stealing the plane.

Where's the devil is Rambo?!

Go into a roll.

Are you crazy?

Do it!

What's happening,
Troutman? I can't see a thing.

They rolled the plane over.

Rambo was on the wing.

He's falling without a shoot.

Thanks for the lift.

Nice move.

Yes, sir, I'm fine.

We better get that plane
back from the General

before he decides to blow
up all of Tierra Libre with it.

We gotta find the General's
secret base and fast.

I have a hunch he's somewhere up in
the mountains just across the border.

How could you land a plane
like the Spectre in the mountains?

There are hidden
valleys up there.

Some of them are
plenty big enough.

Yeah. Tomorrow we're
gonna fly over those mountains,

find Spectre, and it's
gonna be bye-bye General.

Ah, stupid goat!

I heard something.

Hello, Mr. Rambo.

What are you doing here?

I was just looking
for Federico, my goat.

And I saw spies.

Two of them. They
listened by your window.

They're gone.
Federico chased them.

It's true. I swear it.

I heard them say they're going to meet the
General at "La Cumbre de las Guerreras".

Rainbow Peak.

Hey, I know where that is.

Did I do good?
- You bet you did.

You did very good.

But now I want you to run
home real fast before you get hurt.

Yes, Sir!

All right. Let's go pay
a visit to the General.

We should reach our
destination at about 0600.

We'll drop our weapons and
equipment at the edge of the base.

Then we'll drop
in on the General.

A bomb!

Mr. Rambo! Mr. Rambo!

Mr....

Rambo, Help!

Where have you been?
We're ready to take off.

I thought you might like to
take these along for good luck.

With you guys on
my team, I can't fail.

Neither can we.

If my calculations are right,

we should be over the General's
base in about a half an hour.

Yeah. I think that monster peak

way up ahead may
be Rainbow Peak.

Let's hope the General and
his cutthroats are still sleeping.

Asleep or awake, we're
dropping in for a visit.

Sergeant Havoc, what's going on?

Why haven't my
agents contacted us?

Because right about now
they are five miles behind

Rumble's plane and they
cannot break radio silence.

In exactly 53 seconds,
we should be rid of Rumble.

If the bomb does its job.

Count on it, General.
I built it myself.

Wow! We're gonna have to gain some
altitude to get over that base.

Don't go in too high. We gotta
hug the ground to sneak up on him.

Ten seconds till detonation.

Let's go, men.

One second.

What was that?

Somebody must have
put a bomb on board.

What's the story?
- We're losing altitude, Rambo.

We have to bail out. We'll
never make it over the peak.

Okay, you guys,
it's Geronimo time.

You're gonna need this.

Thanks. Now go on.

Come on, everybody.
Get the lead out.

Come on, Rambo.

Go. I'm gonna try something.

Go!

Come on, baby. You can do it.

It's crashed.

That's the end of Rambo.

Let's head back to base.

Excellent.

Mission accomplished, sir.

The plane was destroyed?

Exploded and crashed
into the mountain.

Nothing can stop me now.

Get the Spectre ready for flight.

When do we take the Tierra Libre?

At sundown tonight.

We'll level Fort Amadeo.

And I will march my troops in.

What's going on out there?

Rambo!

This should take care of you.

There's the Spectre.

Rambo, help!

Rambo!

Gotcha!
- I can't believe he's still alive!

We're going home.

He, he, he. I guess they
don't want to play anymore.

Can we go home now?

And for service and bravery,
beyond any call of duty,

We, of Tierra Libre,
gratefully honor you.

Please, accept this Medal.
With our heartfelt appreciation.

Thank you.

Now can I be in your army?

You have a lot of other
things to do first, fella.

You hear that bell?

Tierra Libre is your country,

and a free country
needs educated people.

So you're gonna
get an education.

Now get those little legs pumping
before you're late for school.

Prado!

Nice going, Rambo.

I think we've got the general
right where we want him now.

Don't count on it, sir.

This is only a minor defeat.

Now that we have the
plans for the Spectre,

we can build as many as we want.

Nothing will be able
to stop my invasion,

and I'll have Rambo's
head on a silver platter.

To be continued.
