Possessed God in heaven to make a man like Rambo. God didn't like Rambo. I made him.
Who the hell are you?
Sam chuckling. Colonel Samuel. Travelin', but we're a little busy this morning, Colonel. What can I do for you?
I've come to get my boy.
Your boy? I recruited him. I trained him. I commanded him in Vietnam for three years. I'd say that makes him mine.
I wonder why the Pentagon sent a full-bird Colonel down here to handle this.
The army thought I might be able to help.
Well, no. In what way?
Rambo's a civilian now. He's my problem.
I don't think you understand. I didn't come here to rescue Rambo from you. I came here to rescue you from him.
Well, we all appreciate your concern, Colonel. I will try to be extra careful.
I'm just amazed that he allowed any of your posse to live.
Is that right? Strictly speaking, he slipped up. You're lucky to be breathing.
That's just great, Colonel. You came out here to find out why one of your machines blew a gasket. You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare. Well, the man who's the best with guns, with knives, with his bare hands; a man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore wither, to live off the land, to eat things that'll make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam, his job was to dispose of enemy personnel; to kill, period. Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best.
Okay, Colonel. They got us all scared to death. What? What are you in the Special Forces? Think I ought to do about your psycho out there?
Let him go.
What for? Now, defuse the whole situation. Defuse him. Provide a little gap and let him slip through it. Then put out a nationwide APB. In a couple of weeks, you'll pick him up in Seattle or someplace, working in a car wash. That'd be no fight, and nobody else will get hurt.
I do my own work. That'll figure. The best way to do that is to close my eyes and then hope he gets picked up in Seattle.
Well, if you send your people in there after him, they'll get killed. You know, we're just a small hick town Sheriff's Department, Colonel, but we're expected to do our duty, just like our heroes in the Special Forces.
And Special Forces, we teach our people to stay alive in the line of duty.
No [ __ ] I never thought of that. You want a war you can't win? Are you telling me that 200 men against your boy is a no-win situation for us? You send that money, don't forget one thing: a good supply of body bags. I don't know which side you're on, problem. I still think you came out here just to cover your ass, but if you're serious about taking Rambo out clean, follow me.
