Universal Soldier Regeneration: Behind the Lines Page #2

---

The general's son is growing anxious.

He'd like to be micro-chipped this instant.

It can't possibly wait.

I'm nobody's son anymore, Doctor.

It is Commander Topov.

Right.

I've done it to myself.

It does hurt a little bit now.

Maybe for you.

- Failsafe is active, sir.

- Satisfied?

No. My men.

Fine. Round them up.

Gentlemen, two-pronged objective.

Securing of the reactor site

and the dismantling of the detonators,

and the extraction

of the two known hostages.

Now, we have reason to believe

that the children are being held here.

However, their positions could be fluid,

so we're moving in

on a staggered six-front maneuver.

Disable all communication

and transportation vehicles

that you encounter,

and remember the objective.

If it comes down to either-or,

we go big picture and we take the reactor.

- Are there any questions?

- What if we encounter the freak?

Avoidance, if you can.

- Keep it occupied.

- Is that the best you can do, Doctor?

It's probably programmed

to defend the reactor site,

so it'll stick close to it like a nest,

making it impossible to use high-powered

weaponry in the presence of the explosives.

Captain, your men should not engage

with the NGU.

That's what my men are for.

- It's hot in here.

- Take your coat off.

- We've been here before?

- Every week.

That's what I thought.

- Can I get you guys some coffee?

- Yeah, sure, I'll have some coffee, thanks.

- What would you like, Luc, to drink?

- Orange juice.

Great. I'll be right back to take your orders.

- How are your knees feeling?

- A little better.

I think the anti-inflammatories are working.

We need to get you some more of those.

The weather report said

there may be another snow front on the way.

Could get a couple of inches

over the weekend.

I think the cold weather's

been affecting your joints.

The next shipment should be in

by next week, so...

Luc!

Luc, stop! Luc! No!

Luc, stop! Luc!

Luc, stop! Stop!

No! Luc, no!

No! Luc, stop, stop!

Luc, stop!

- Somebody help him.

- Go! Go! Go!

- Man down! We got a man down.

- Move, move, move!

- Let's go! Move, move, move! Go!

- Come on, come on!

Hold fire, holding fire.

All units proceed to reactor complex.

Repeat, hold fire, holding fire.

All units proceeding to reactor complex.

Copy that. Unit One holding fire.

All units holding fire.

- All systems green, sir.

- Good.

The complex in sight.

All units falling into position, over.

Unit One, Unit Two, two units,

report to the south perimeter. Cover your...

Unit One holding. Contact back.

I'll take the north side.

Unit Two is on the move.

Proceeding to north perimeter.

Unit Two to north perimeter.

Unit Two, hold position in north perimeter.

We're on the south perimeter, Structure 3.

We're going in. Over.

Burke, the show's on.

Send them in and provide cover.

Sir, we have successfully taken out

all lines of defense.

We need to send in two units.

Negative. Send in the freaks.

That's an order, Burke. Pull back.

Roger that.

It's all yours, boys.

Don't f*** it up.

How long before they reach

the Meeting Point A?

Stand by, sir.

There he is. There he is.

- Shut him down.

- I'm on it.

Holy sh*t, did you see that?

Did you see that?

One is out. Tell Two and Three

One is down.

We need Two, Three and Four to triangulate

on the new position. Do it!

We're gonna triangulate... Come on!

We're gonna triangulate on what's...

Hang on!

Triangulate... Listen to me.

Let him go! Let him go!

Move Four to the reactor.

Have Three engage. Have Three engage.

- What the hell is going on?

- He's too fast. They can't track him.

All right, let's get Four to the reactor.

Get Four.

Four moving to the reactor, sir.

Four moving.

- Sir, approaching the reactor right now.

- Okay, there they are. There they are.

- Shut them down, Doctor.

- Deactivate. Repeat, deactivate.

Complete evac. Send the order.

Burke, complete evac. Pull them out!

- Evac. Evac.

- Pull back now!

- Get everybody out of there!

- Complete evac now. Complete evac.

Colonel.

Tell them to retreat. Get them out.

Get the men out of there.

- Retreat. I repeat, retreat...

- Get them all out. Tell him that is an order...

- You're not coming in clear.

- Sir.

We're under fire. Unit One under fire.

Falling back.

Sh*t.

Colonel Petrov's down.

Request transportation.

No, no.

Request transport.

Go. Go.

Listen to me, God damn it.

You're coming with me.

Go now. Take him with you. Go.

Take him with you! Go!

Look. Is he coming?

- How's my boy?

- I feel good.

Good. That's very good.

That's my good boy.

Yes.

Magnificent.

That's because

we're gonna give you a chance

to explain the situation when they get here.

- I told you from the start...

- We were sitting ducks out there.

You don't need to tell me.

I saw it with my own eyes.

If you let us in,

we would've taken him out ourselves.

You didn't stand a chance. You never did.

- Hey, hey, come on. Knock it off. Get back.

- You don't have to like it, but it's the truth.

It took on your entire outfit

and forced you to retreat.

One man.

We're talking about a perfect specimen.

One who knows nothing other

than to obey an order.

Something you seem

to know nothing about.

- F***ing knock your teeth out!

- Hey, hey, hey! Get back!

What the hell was that?

"This imprudent act of aggression

has resulted in a swift response.

"We have detonated one of the explosives

around the reactor.

"Consider it a warning shot.

"The world doesn't appear to apply pressure

to the Bosorow bullies.

"They're allowing them to stall.

"You are not doing anything.

Think about your children.' '

I empathize with your father.

I know how he feels.

You only hope for your family to be safe.

And when they are not you carry it with you

like a cancer.

Unlike me, he can change this.

I would rather die

than see my father give in to you.

And so it may be, for all of us.

Hey. Stockholm syndrome, huh?

Bonding with the captives.

You know, I'm touched.

What's the matter with you, Doctor?

Did the kids pick on you in school?

Yes, yes, they did.

I was asthmatic, bad athlete, terrible skin.

- Don't be so hard on yourself.

- No, no, it's true.

Perhaps I overcompensated.

Yes, we all congratulate you

on your science project.

Now, why don't you go back to your room?

You're boring us.

Hey, you know, kids,

this is an important lesson.

You always have to ask yourself

who's in control.

It's not always the one doing the talking.

Sometimes it's the guy in the background.

I mean, okay,

let's be honest with ourselves here.

You call that an army?

Come on, it's a bunch of peasants

with slingshots.

But just one of my men, just one...

That's all it took.

Now I want you to imagine

an army of men like that.

That, children,

that is real power.

Bravo.

- Very captivating.

- Thank you.

Or maybe your poodle

would like to get a word in.

My poodle. Well, he's kind of shy.

- No, please...

- He's not blessed with the gift of the gab.
