Just you? Come on, this is no good!

I can not take only one man to the fort.

You need more men to help.

Griggs said you'd take

me there. Take me there!

I am meant to take medical supplies,

if I not take it, many people will die.

Do you understand?

Well, I do not know who you really are,

but by the way you look, I can see

you have no experience in war. Do you?

Come on, do you?

I've fired a few shots.

A few shots?

Come on, maybe you should go back home,

and think it all over again.

For a very long time.

I did think it over.

You did?

Well, this is your choice.

But let me tell you, you can

not get this American alone.

If you fail, do not blame me.

I will accept no responsibility.

Sounds familiar.

My name is Colonel Zaysen,

Regional Commander of this sector.

You're here as the first

American captured in Afghanistan.

Congratulations.

I believe you're planning to

supply enemy rebels forces

with Stinger missiles, intending

to destroy Soviet aircraft.

If I'm gonna be interrogated,

I wanna be interrogated

by your superiors.

Out here, I have no superiors.

I am in full command.

You're alone here.

Abandoned by your government.

- What do you want?

- Cooperation.

This sector has been under

total control for over five years.

There's little more I can do here.

It is, as you say, without challenges.

If you supply to me

worth information about most

stinger missiles

you're planning to deliver,

it could provide a way

out of this further post.

After all, the end what

everyone really wants...

...is peace.

The Kremlin's got a hell

of a sense of humor.

Please explain.

You talk peace and

disarmament to the world,

and here you are, wiping

out a race of people.

We are wiping out no one.

I think you're too intelligent

to believe such a propaganda!

Now again:
where are the missiles?

I don't know anything

about any missiles!

Of course you do!

But you do not seem to realize

I'm providing a way out for us both.

You expect sympathy?

You started this damn war,

now you have to deal with it!

And we will. It is just a matter of time

before we achieve a complete victory.

You know there won't be a victory.

Everyday, your war machines lose

ground to a bunch of poorly armed,

poorly equiped freedom-fighters!

The fact is that you

underestimated your competition.

If you studied your History,

you'd know this people

never gave up to anyone.

They'd rather die than be

slaves to an invading army.

You can't defeat a people like that.

We tried. We already had our Vietnam!

Now you're gonna have yours!

So, you wish to test me. Good.

This is Afghanistan.

Alexander the Great tried

to conquer this country,

then Ghenghis Khan, then
