Universal Soldier Regeneration: Behind the Lines Page #3

---

Then maybe you can shut the f*** up

and do what I'm paying you for.

Hey, you're the boss.

We think that the main detonators

are over here.

Pull back and encompass

the whole compound.

Copy that, sir.

That's the cooling tower.

If we can get in those pipes,

we can access the reactor there.

It's probably been capped off after

the accident, but it can be reopened, sir.

He's here.

Hello, Luc.

I expect you're feeling somewhat fatigued.

That's normal.

The sedation should wear off soon enough.

Sandra?

Dr. Fleming is here

and has authorized this examination,

so there should be no cause for alarm.

We're your friends. You're home, Luc.

I have a few questions for you.

Please answer yes or no.

- I want to talk to Sandra.

- Just answer the questions.

Do you see yourself as a person

who is a reliable worker?

Yes.

Do you see yourself as a person

who is original, comes up with new ideas?

No.

- Is relaxed? Handles stress well?

- Yes.

- Starts quarrels with others?

- Sometimes.

Yes or no.

Sometimes.

I'm gonna give you something

that will help with your recovery.

I'm gonna make you feel better, Luc.

Gonna make you whole again.

Where am I?

Where am I?

We started him on a mixture of both

psychotropic drugs and ergogenics.

- His system isn't ready for that.

- Methylphenidate

- and mentenolone...

- Please, listen to me.

His nervous system will break down.

You can't reverse years of hormonal therapy

in a day.

It's like rehabilitating a fight dog,

then putting it back to fight.

- This could backfire in a myriad of ways.

- Rehabilitation was never part of his design.

And as you can see,

he's at odds with his nature.

He was created to serve a need,

and he's not doing that.

But now

you're just compounding the situation.

Dr. Fleming, you have to ask yourself

whether a dog, once it has tasted blood,

can ever forget that taste.

There is substantial power inside of him

that I have spent two years regulating.

If you unleash it this quickly,

you may not be able to control it.

Just get him up to speed, Doc.

You let me worry about controlling it.

Listen. You said something

about some pipes earlier.

- Yes, sir.

- You still think you can

- get in through there?

- I know I can, sir.

Okay, we're gonna try this your way.

Listen to me.

This is strictly recon.

Do not engage this thing.

It's not combat. You understand?

- Yes, sir.

- Okay, let's go.

Why is she in there?

Unfortunately, at the moment,

she's the only one he trusts.

You know, in business, as in life,

people are so distrustful.

- They always want insurance.

- Yes, sir.

I mean, whatever happened

to the handshake deal? Am I right?

- You're right, sir.

- Failsafe. Everybody wants a failsafe.

- But where is my failsafe? You understand?

- Yes, Doctor.

No, no, I'm asking you. Where's my failsafe?

- This is your failsafe.

- And why is that?

Because the NGU cannot hurt

the commander and his men.

Right.

But... But he can.

Indeed he can.

- Very smart, Doctor.

- Of course it is.

You see, Miles,

there's always a way around things.

Now, I want you to count his fingers

and toes. No, I'm just kidding.

We've come a long way from replicating

sheep, wouldn't you say, Miles?

Yes, sir.

Happy birthday, my boy.

Colonel, I can disconnect this thing.

That'll tip them off too soon.

Find the kids. Do not engage the freak.

We need you alive.

Roger that.

He's going to do as he threatens, you know.

Are you listening to me?

I have to address the country in an hour.

I can't discuss this with you right now.

You are not alone in this.

You think I don't know this?

Sending in troops

was the act of a desperate man.

That frightens me.

They've left me with no choice.

Yes they have.

Is it right to sacrifice others' children

but not our own?

And what then?

What is proved?

I am obliged to think beyond myself.

Beyond our son and daughter.

Obliged to what?

Your image in history?

If you allow something to happen to them,

I will never forgive you.

I hear two voices.

You guys picking this up? Over.

There's a female voice.

That must be where he's got the kids.

- We don't have all day, Miles.

- Yeah, right. Okay, Doctor, all right.

Miles is gonna run the diagnostic today,

Andrew. Are you okay with that?

- Yes.

- Okay, first question.

You are a punctual and reliable person.

Yes.

You know how to make efficient use

of your time.

Yes.

Okay. Friends find you impulsive

and unpredictable.

No.

You like to spend leisure time relaxing

in a tranquil family atmosphere.

Yes.

You often contemplate

the complexity of life.

Yes.

Andrew, did you hear the question?

- Hook him up.

- Yes, sir.

Okay, just a sec.

Andrew, listen carefully.

You often contemplate

the complexity of life.

- No.

- That's right.

You have to listen, Andrew. It's important.

As the leader of a nation in crisis,

my decisions have been dictated

by a single principle:

to serve the common good of the people,

no matter what might be sacrificed

in the process.

While pride demands aggression

be met with aggression,

humanity depends on diplomatic

and peaceful conflict resolution.

It is therefore the responsibility

of those in positions of power

to question any hard line policy

that threatens survival as we know it.

Therefore, I have authorized

the release of 110 prisoners

in exchange for immediate

deactivation of the detonator

at Chernobyl reactor three.

Over the next 48 hours

all troops will stand down

in ceasefire mode,

as the terms of exchange are implemented.

The remaining prisoners

will then be released

in exchange for the hostages.

It's over, Luc.

We might have had our share of differences,

but it is the result that is important, yes?

Yes.

For a world leader to give in to the demands

of a small outfit such as our own,

one should savor

the rarity of the experience.

The thing is,

to stop at this moment would be a shameful

waste of both leverage and position.

Yeah, you're young, you'll learn,

- but now we have to move...

- It is over,

- and that is that.

- That's not really for you to say,

because there have been expenses.

Unanticipated expenses.

It's hard to budget these things in advance.

Now, I have an army to build.

And, like you said, moments like these

don't often present themselves.

I don't think you're hearing me.

You want to f*** around?

Is that what you're trying to do?

You have been paid.

You and me, our business together,

it is all over.

You want to try to test me?

Easy. Easy.

Who is this?

Vasilly!

Okay. Very good.

That's a good boy.

We have to go now.

You have to finish your job. Then we'll go.

The children.

Can I ask you a question?

No, you cannot.

You often contemplate

the complexity of life?

Hey, it's not for you

to ask questions, understand?

- Andrew.

- Yes or no?

Andrew, you're tired.

You've been through a lot today.

Are you a punctual and reliable person?
