Universal Soldier Regeneration: Behind the Lines Page #2

---

- I thought there was five.

- There were. Now there's four.

What happened to the fifth?

He's the subject of a privately-funded

program run by Dr. Sandra Fleming.

- Project Phoenix.

- Doing what?

Behavioral modification therapy

or psychological rehabilitation,

as Dr. Fleming calls it.

She's trying to reintroduce him into society.

He was one of the very first,

but by far the best of the group.

Dr. Fleming has been conducting

her research in Switzerland.

I think of escape.

Peaceful feeling.

- Shame.

- Why do you say that?

- I don't know.

- Yes, you do.

Just say the first thing

that comes into your mind.

I don't remember.

Maybe for things I have done.

What have you done, Luc?

I don't know.

I think he's hungry.

Why don't you feed him?

How do you feel?

Helpless.

Maybe you're feeling

the weight of responsibility.

It's what it feels like to grow older, Luc.

Do you realize how far you've come?

Two years ago when we started this,

when you first woke up,

you couldn't remember the day before.

- My head feels full.

- It's just another stage in your development.

We're getting there.

You may have forgotten our agreement,

Doctor, but I haven't.

Consider this my last reminder.

I haven't forgotten, I've been in surgery,

which appears to be quite a success.

- So, when will we do it?

- I told you, I'm gonna run a diagnostic...

I have to guarantee the safety of my men,

as well as my own.

It'll be taken care of.

So you want to wait? Then I guess

the wire transfers can wait as well.

What's the hurry, right?

- Miles.

- Yes, Doctor?

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
