The brakes!

Jesus! Jump!

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

You all right, Chiun?

Christ!

God! Chiun.

In Korea, door handles do not break.

Are you all right?

- Are you hurt?

- No.

When you approach middle age...

there is a tendency

towards bruising, my son.

What?

What did you call me?

I called you a clumsy oaf.

You drive like a monkey in heat!

Oh, my God!

- Are you all right?

- And why should I not be?

What are we going to do now?

You're gonna stay with Chiun.

He'll probably teach you to breathe.

- I have a job to finish.

- Remo!

Do not embarrass us.

I won't...

Little Father.

This is ridiculous.

Do you know what he's trying to do?

- They'll arrest him, court-martial him.

- Silence.

They'll lock him up, and you just stand there

like Nanook of the North!

Why don't you help him, for God's sake!

I thought he was...

Lesson 22:

Blessed silence.

This is Pine Tree Command.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Hope we're in for some good hunting today.

Prepare to copy your sector priorities.

That includes you

and your little buddies, Liebowitz.

Go ahead, Pine Tree.

All stations to Situ-1.

Pull your fingers out of your ears

and give a listen. We're live this morning.

- Pine Tree, this is Mistletoe.

- Come on in, Mistletoe.

Bearing 120.

We have contact.

- Target's heading west.

- Range?

- 3.6 and closing.

- That's a Roger. Thank you, Mistletoe.

Pine Tree to all stations, go to Situ-2.

I say again, go to Situ-2.

This is not an exercise. We are live.

This is Redwood.

We have triangulation.

Alpha-7-1-2-Zulu-0-0-Niner.

Target entering carpet area.

This is Bandit Chief. Go to Situ-3.

- Lock and load.

- On your command, Bandit Chief.

Prime.

Red-4 live. Red-5 live.

Pine Tree Command.

We show two in the green.

All sectors secure.

Over to you, Bandit Chief.

Commence pattern.

This is Pine Tree Command.

Good work, gentlemen.

Prepare to stand down sectors

Redwood, Douglas, Cedar and Mistletoe.

Mop up commands search party

to Red-4 and report.

Roger, Pine Tree, will comply.

They better take the Batjet.

You're not going to believe this, Pine Tree.

My sensor indicates human presence

50 meters above the ground.

This sucker must've grown wings.

This is Bandit Chief.

I say again, this is Bandit Chief.

Stop chattering and give me radio silence

and some map coordinates!

Yes, sir! Coming right up, sir!

You are proceeding in a northerly direction.

Not us, you jackass! The target!

Yes, sir!

Foxtrot-4-6-4-Zulu...

5-0-5.

Heading toward the lake.

Stop!

All right, soldier.

Nail that commie son of a b*tch.

Get him.

That guy's going nowhere, sir.

Sh*t.

- Are you out of your mind, George?

- It's your ass, too, Scott.

Damn. Get me more ammo.

He's getting away!

- I can see that.

- What the hell are you waiting for?

Pine Tree Command.

Come in, Bandit Chief. Over.

Stop right there.

I used to be interested in who you work for.

Now I don't give a damn.

You're a dangerous liability, my friend.

You'll be dead in about 15 seconds.

The amusing thing is,

I might get a medal for shooting you.

Who are you?

Remo Williams.

...also found in the wreckage

of a tragic accident was George S. Grove...

chairman of Grove Industries...

multiple recipient

of the Presidential Medal for Excellence...

and well known

for his contributions to charity.

Also killed was Brigadier General Scott...

- Where's Chiun?

- He went to look for you.

First squad, take the right flank.

Wheeler, take the bogies left and around.

Be careful, they may be armed.

And for crying out loud, watch the Major.

She's a woman and she's on our side.

There he is.

Careful, men. Hold your fire.

You must run very fast.

Who are you?

Would you believe we're the good guys?

Are you all right, Major?

Yes, I'm fine.

Everything's fine.

- Faster!

- Sometimes you're a real pain in the ass.

That is because it is the shortest route

to your brain!

- But we must hurry.

- What's the rush?

We must return in time

to see if Jim is truly going to walk.

- What did you say?

- Or has the doctor merely told him so...

because he hoped to get a new wing

for the hospital from his stepmother.

- Chiun, you're incredible.

- No.

I am better than that.

Richard Sapir

Richard Ben Sapir (; 1936–1987) is best known for The Destroyer series of novels that he co-created with Warren Murphy.The first Destroyer was written in 1963, while Sapir worked as a city hall reporter in Jersey City and Murphy served as secretary to the city's mayor. Ahead of its time with a plot centered upon a brash young westerner trained in the martial arts by a master assassin from North Korea, the book went unpublished until June 1971 but eventually spawned a highly successful adventure series with over 30 million copies in print by the late 1990s. Before arriving on the illustrious shores of Sinanju, Sapir worked as an editor and in public relations. In addition to The Destroyer series, Sapir wrote five novels: Bressio (1975), The Far Arena (1978), The Body (1983), Spies (1984), and Quest (1987), a modern-day search for the Holy Grail. The Body, which was made into a movie in 2001, is about a Jewish archaeologist who finds a skeleton underneath an Arab shopkeeper's basement that might be the body of Jesus and the American Jesuit priest who is sent by the Vatican to investigate. Richard Sapir was a graduate of Columbia University and lived with his wife in New Hampshire before he died in 1987 from a heart attack. more…
