some of the filth in there.

I like that. That's nice.

It's a lot nicer than "kill," or "destroy,"

or "terminate with extreme prejudice."

That's what you're really talking about,

isn't it?

I think he's got it, Mr. Smith.

That's exactly what we're talking about,

Mr. Williams.

Suppose I say no?

Then you're a dead son of a b*tch.

And we already got a coffin.

How big is this organization?

Just the three of us.

Mac here

will get you cleaned up and briefed.

You start work Monday night, Mr. Williams.

Here we are.

Nice pad.

First hit. No big deal. You'll get used to it.

Nothing like throwing in a man

at the deep end.

What's this guy done that's so special?

Come on, Remo, we run

on a need-to-know basis. You know that.

Don't take any chances. This guy's a killer.

Remember...

in, out, like a duck mating.

- Where are you gonna be?

- Right behind you.

How do you open this?

Speak English?

Does a nightingale sing?

Yeah...

- How do you get out of here?

- The same way you came in.

No good.

There's a guy outside

who wants me to knock off your boss.

I am here alone.

There is no one upstairs.

Okay, now look, let's not make

any trouble for each other.

All I wanna do is to get out of here.

It is too late for that.

Hold it! I don't want to kill you,

but I will if I have to.

I'll show you chop-socky,

you sawed-off little runt.

Chiun, what do you think?

He is very slow.

His reflexes are pitiful.

Poorly coordinated.

He is in wretched physical condition.

Impetuous.

And clumsy.

He moves like a baboon with two club feet.

However...

there is a feeble glint of promise in his eyes.

I think I can do something with him.

Good.

George S. Grove.

Born Albany, New York, May 10, 1933.

BA, Electrical Engineering, Parkson College.

Served two tours, supply sergeant,

Korean conflict.

In 1962, founded Grove Industries...

Advanced Weapons Technology.

Current projects:

CD-18 surface-to-air missile.

HARP. High Altitude Reconnaissance Probe.

Prototype for the Star Wars program.

Investigation, corporate tax evasion, 1979.

No charges filed.

1981. Suspected bribery.

Procurement, defense contracts.

After the disappearance of

Investigating Officer Murray Benton...

no charges filed.

There were three witnesses

alleged to have seen the murder of Benton.

No charges were filed for lack of evidence.

They disappeared, too.

If the Company can't get anything on Grove,

then you know he's good.

All I can promise is terror for breakfast...

pressure for lunch,

and aggravation for sleep.

Your vacations will be two minutes

when you're not looking over your shoulder.

If you live to draw a pension,

it'll be a miracle.

Are there any disadvantages?

Richard Sapir

Richard Ben Sapir (; 1936–1987) is best known for The Destroyer series of novels that he co-created with Warren Murphy.The first Destroyer was written in 1963, while Sapir worked as a city hall reporter in Jersey City and Murphy served as secretary to the city's mayor. Ahead of its time with a plot centered upon a brash young westerner trained in the martial arts by a master assassin from North Korea, the book went unpublished until June 1971 but eventually spawned a highly successful adventure series with over 30 million copies in print by the late 1990s. Before arriving on the illustrious shores of Sinanju, Sapir worked as an editor and in public relations. In addition to The Destroyer series, Sapir wrote five novels: Bressio (1975), The Far Arena (1978), The Body (1983), Spies (1984), and Quest (1987), a modern-day search for the Holy Grail. The Body, which was made into a movie in 2001, is about a Jewish archaeologist who finds a skeleton underneath an Arab shopkeeper's basement that might be the body of Jesus and the American Jesuit priest who is sent by the Vatican to investigate. Richard Sapir was a graduate of Columbia University and lived with his wife in New Hampshire before he died in 1987 from a heart attack. more…
