Uncommon Valor Page #3

Congratulations, Sailor.

You wasted a prisoner.

He's a collaborator.

You all right?

Can't sleep, huh?

Foryears, I couldn't sleep after Korea.

My nightmares all had to do

with the Chosin Reservoir.

The ground there was so frozen

we couldn't bury our dead.

Piled them on trucks and

lashed them against tanks.

For years, I'd wake up

with those frozen faces staring at me.

Did it ever go away?

No.

I finally made friends with them though.

No.

Left.

No.

Left, right, left.

No.

Get together, guys!

Gentlemen!

The object of the next exercise...

Get from here to the bridge

without being tagged by Wilkes.

Sh*t.

Sneaky little sh*t.

Aw, sh*t. I'm dead.

Wilkesy, I'm supposed...

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

F***, man.

Come on!

Come on. Come on.

You can make it.

Come across.

You people got caught

'cause you got careless.

I told you...

All right, Wilkesy!

All right, Wilkesy!

The object was not to get caught!

[Psychedelic RockMusic Plays]

That guy's elevator

doesn't go to the top.

Agent Orange.

No. Red wine and uppers.

That's why he's called Sailor.

He'd take red wine and uppers

and sail away.

How come he wears that grenade?

Sailor says if life got shitty,

he'd pull the pin.

@@@ To be where I'mgoing@@@.

Wilkesy, remember that song?

Get down, boogie, remember?

Yeah!

Boogie! Come on.

Come on, remember that?

Come on, Wilkesy.

Hey, Blaster.

Yeah! Come on!

Come on, Johnson!

Get out here.

Come on, Johnson!

Go for it!

Do it, boy!

@ I'll stay with you, darling, now @

@ I'll stay with you

till my seed sare dried up @.

Agent Orange.

All Agent Orange.

@... waitingso long @

@ To be where I'm going @

@ In the sunshine of your love @.

O.K., Curtis.

Follow the leader.

Sounds good to me.

Close it up!

Let's go!

Fly this thing!

Get your Sierra together, my man.

Kiss my Sierra, buddy.

You were the ace of the base.

Getting too old, buddy?

Looking good, guys.

Looking good.

Left, right, left.

Left, left, left, right, left.

Sh*t!

What the f*** am I doing here?

Come on! Don't quit!

Fuckyou!

We have to work

together... everybody!

I don't believe this motherfuckin' sh*t!

I've been workin' my ass off,

and I don't need

no wet-nosed a**hole

screaming in my face!

Back off!

Curtis!

Let the sh*t ride!

We're on the same team!

We have to work together!

We are the team, a**hole.

We were there, not you.

Now, a**hole.

Right now!

Sailor, Colonel Rhodes was wrong.

I can't earn your respect,

'cause you have no respect for yourself.

Boy...

you just bought the whole

can ofwhoop-ass.

Come on, Sailor!

Kick his ass, Sailor!

Boy, using that yellow

martial bullshit on me

is going to get real expensive.

Get up!

Come on, hero!

That's enough, Sailor!

Get up, boy!

You can't keep me from this mission!

Why are you getting up, marine?

Stay down, man.

Stay down!

Stay down, little f***er.

No! No!

Why you wanna go die, boy?

Why?

Why?

I'll tell you why.

His father's missing in action...

shot down in Vietnam, that's why.

Blaster, when I come over the treeline

at 0300,

that's your cue to blow up

the radio tower,

then the bridge to cut off

reinforcements from the village.

Boom...

Mister Scott, that's your cue

to neutralize guard tower "A".

All right, Charts, Johnson...

you pick up Blaster after

we've snatched the prisoners.

Major Johnson, you pick up Scott.

O.K., Blaster,

this is the big ride.

All right, Sailor!

Gentlemen, study every

inch of this compound.

It's an exact reproduction

ofthe P.O.W. camp in Laos.

It's imperative that we're in and out

in less than three minutes.

The lives of everyone

involved may depend on it.

We're rehearsing so we can

do this operation in our sleep.

10 days time, we'll have

a live fire exercise.

Look, we have been pursuing

diplomatic negotiations

for the release

of all P.O.W.s,

if there are any.

An armed incursion now

would undermine those negotiations.

It's been 10 years!

They'll be dead

by the time you negotiate!

Damn it, as my friend,

call Rhodes and drop this project!

Look, I didn't want it to get this far.

You know, they're prepared

to take serious measures

against your company...

I.R.S. audits,

anti-trust suits...

F*** you, Art.

The men we're going after

will be in rough shape...

something like these men.

They may not be able to walk.

They may not want to walk.

They will be shattered...

both physically...

and emotionally.

After all these years,

they may not be able to speak English.

Remember, gentlemen,

everything we do tonight...

is motivated...

by them.

It looked like the Fourth of July!

It was beautiful!

It was gorgeous!

Gentlemen!

Mr. MacGregor.

I wanted to thank you personally.

After watching you,

I know Jason's chosen

the right men for the job.

And as a token of my esteem,

a check and pocket money for Bangkok.

Take it.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Do you ever regret

letting Frank go, Jason?

He was in the service.

There wasn't any question.

Couldn't your Washington contacts

get him stationed elsewhere?

When there's war, the Rhodes fight.

We lost almost the whole family

at Gettysburg.

That's all we're good at.

Haven't always been real good

at fighting, either.

A lot of us been killed.

But we're always there.

You know, Jason...

I'd give everything

I have... everything...

for just one hour with him.

See if that's our truck.

There's a C.I.A. man for sure.

[Speaking Thai]

Johnson, Rhodes...

you're in a sh*t pile oftrouble.

We're confiscating your weapons.

My orders are to put you

in jail... a Bangkok jail.

I don't want to put

an old soldier like you in jail,

but damn it,

this scheme of yours is crazy.

Sh*t!

Get on the next plane home.

And don't go back to the hotel.

They're waiting for your ass there, too.

Since our government's

confiscated our weapons,

I'm not going to ask

you gentlemen to go any further.

It's over!

I'm not giving up to those bastards.

My son Frank's waiting for me.

I'll go in there with a pocket knife!

You people do whatever

you want, O.K.?

There's got to be someplace

in Bangkok to get guns.

No. Up north

in the Golden Triangle.

We need money for that!

What about the C.I.A.?

Who cares?

It's a total wipe-out!

We've got money.

That's right.

The money MacGregor gave us.

Everybody give it up.

Come on, all of it.

That's all I got.

What you been doin'?

Seeing the sights.

Wilkes, we're going

to need transportation.

4-wheel drive?

Preferably.

Buy it or borrow it?

Steal the f***er!

Left. Left!

Hey!

[Speaking Thai]

Some other fella's moved in

on your man's drug operation.

Even moved into his house.

We can find him down the street.

Colonel Rhodes.

Sit down.

Jiang, how are you?

I understand you've had some trouble.

The misfortunes of the narcotics world.

I barely escaped with my life.

Do you still have men

to take us into Northern Laos?

I'll take you myself.

I'm weary of this life of uselessness.

Jiang, we need weapons.
