Universal Soldier Page #2

He just froze up. We can't

figure out what happened.

- What do you mean ''froze up''?

- At the end of the mission,

he became completely unresponsive.

- Did he overheat?

- Colonel, he hardly broke a sweat.

GR44.

Why did you not respond?

What happened?

- Innocent.

- Innocent?

What do you mean by ''innocent''?

The village was cleared.

The girl was innocent, Sarge.

Sarge? Wh-wh-who the

hell's he talkin' about?

That could be an old memory.

I think we should take him out of the

program until we can run some tests on him...

and find out what's

going on in his head.

- GR44 stays with the

program. - But, Colonel-

He just got a little mixed

up. Just give him the serum.

Okay. guys, memory clearance.

Take your positions.

Activate injection.

They're moving something

else onto the Tarmac.

- We're not gonna get anything from out here.

- Ronnie, are you nuts?

It's a classified military operation.

You're not gonna get within

ten yards of that truck.

I'll be right back.

- You were confused.

- I was confused.

You must follow orders at all times.

I must follow my orders.

- He's fine.

- Well. if you say so.

You're in charge.

Here we go. Oh, this looks pretty bad.

Looks pretty bad.

As soon as the flotation chamber

is filled, we'll have to put him in.

Great.

I always have to do this

part. I hate this part.

Hey, Dr. Haines! Dr. Haines!

Can I get a little help on this?

Jesus. No casualties or injuries, huh?

Power up the cooling generators on the

flotation chamber. He's almost ready.

You got it.

- He's ready. Yes, sir.

- Bring him in. Thank you.

Prepare for flotation chamber entry.

Colonel, we've spotted an intruder.

Who the f*** is that?

She's takin' pictures.

- Huey!

- Oh. sh*t. What the hell has she done this time?

Start the car!

I think now would be a

good time to leave, Huey.

- What'd you get?

- Redemption.

Let's get outta here.

- Sh*t. Watch out!

- Look what you're doin'.

D'you think we lost 'em?

How ya doin'?

Uh, Veronica Roberts, uh, uh, CNA.

You wanna help me out?

Thank you. Thank you very

- Hey, hey, hey! Easy!

- Take it easy, man.

- Ow! Oh!

Let go of me!

- Huey. Hu-

- Okay, okay.

You all right?

Okay, they got 'em. Bingo.

I want to speak to someone in charge.

- You guys speak English?

- Awaiting instructions.

Tell them to find that film and

bring those civilians back to base.

I'm sure that we can handle this whole situation,

all right? Uh, if I could make a phone call.

- What's wrong with these

guys? - I don't know. - GR13.

get the film and return to base.

- The film. - Uh, fellas.

look, I don't know where-

- Hey, hey, I don't know what

you- - Hey, she didn't do anything.

Christ! GR13, cease fire! Cease fire!

Do you read me? Cease

fire! Cease fire! I repeat:

- Fire. Fire.

- That's an order!

GR86, visual.

What the f*** is he doin'?

Stop the girl. Shoot if you have to.

GR44. stop the car.

That is an order.

- Whaddya doin'? Whaddya doin'? - He

stopped the car. - Cease fire! Cease fire!

What the hell you doing?

Come on! Get out of here!

Hey, go! Jesus Christ,

they're gonna kill us!

- GR44, turn the car around.

- Are you deaf?

You are simply confused.

- I'm confused.

- What are you talking about, man? Let's go. Hit it!

- Do not listen to her.

- What the hell is that thing?

- GR44, can you hear me? - Will you

stop f***in'- Stupid piece of sh*t!

Sh*t! The b*tch cut me off.

- Go!

- I must follow orders.

Bull sh*t. Hit the road!

Sh*t!

Woodward, do something, will ya?

Traitor.

He didn't do anything.

Well. they're not gonna get away

with this sh*t. I swear to God,

- they're not gonna get away with this sh*t.

- You ready?

- Just about.

- We have to take him out of the loop.

- He shot a man, for God's sake.

- Don't tell me what to do.

Right now I need every soldier

I've got. We're goin' after them.

Colonel Perry.

We killed an innocent man.

What do you suggest we do, Woodward?

Let that reporter run off

with one of our UniSols?

We can't just cover this up.

We have a moral obligation

to tell the truth about this.

I thought you were more

clever than that, Woodward.

This whole goddamn

program is off the shelf.

Do you really think for one second

those wimps at the Pentagon...

would allow the regeneration

of dead soldiers,

American soldiers?

I don't think I can be

a part of this anymore.

If this is uncovered now,

we're all goin' to jail.

Do I make myself clear?

Why did you do that?

Why did you help me out like that?

My tour's up. Just want to go home.

But I can't until you're safe.

Wh-what do you mean?

My God! You've been shot!

Oh, Jesus. Jesus, we

gotta stop the bleeding.

Oh, God.

Jesus Christ, it's gotta hurt you, man.

The bleeding has stopped.

Get in here. Secure your positions.

All right, secure and lock!

What, wh-why are we

stopping now? What happened?

Out of gas.

We're out of gas. Why not?

Sh*t! God!

- Oh, God.

- Tracking system activated and we're in business.

We've picked 'em up moving due

east seven miles ahead of us.

Estimated time of interception.

You must be pretty tired after

all that, that pushing and stuff.

Okay. well, I'm gonna go on the

You mind?

Okay? Okay.

Uh, refuelin' truck will

be here in the morning.

You wanna rent a roo

Nice outfit.

Sh*t.

Hey, pal, you don't look so good.

- I need to cool down.

- Oh, well, all our rooms...

all have air-conditioning, you know?

Got some with water beds.

Hey. the, uh, pay phone's out.

Do you have a phone I can use?

All our rooms all have

telephones, too, only $50 a night.

No, no, look, I don't need

a room, I need a phone.

- What about this one?

- Oh, uh, sorry, that's, uh, for employees only. Yeah.

Oh, well. since there's the two of you,

see, that's called double occupancy.

That's another ten dollars. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. Great.

And a matter of a small

$20 security deposit.

Of course. Twenty dollars. Here you are.
