American Ninja Page #5

Synopsis: Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter will little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in The Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap Patricia, the base colonel's daughter, who happens to be along for the ride. Joe rescues Patricia and gets her safely back to the base, but everyone else in the platoon is killed, leading his superiors to conclude that Joe is guilty of cowardice, collaboration or simple incompetence. At the same time, the rebel leader vows revenge against the serviceman who disrupted his plans, and sends an army of ninjas to assassinate him and bring back Patricia. If he wants to survive and save the girl, Joe's going to have to draw on every last ounce of his training.

OK.

OK. Hey, listen, you through thinkin'

about those exhibitions yet?

Cos we can make a great team. We could

quit the army. We'd make a fortune.

- Maybe Charley can help you.

- No thanks. Sweating's bad for ya.

It means you're puttin' forth effort.

Jackson, you gotta help me.

I set myself up with a date with this girl,

but the colonel's got me runnin' errands.

In 30 minutes, I'm to meet her

at the country club, and I won't make it.

Could you run a note over there

and tell her I'll be late?

I hate to burst your bubble, but I can't.

I have to report in a few minutes.

Ah, sh*t. Man, I hate to lose this chick.

Jackson, she thinks I'm intense.

- I'll get her the note.

- No, no, you can't.

- You're confined to the base, man.

- I'll be fast. No one will notice.

- Are you sure?

- Do you want her to get the note?

She'll be on the balcony, wearin'

a white dress. You cannot miss her.

Jackson. I'm gonna need your bike.

Oh, man, that's my baby. That's my

life's blood. You sure you can handle it?

Look, Joe, call me a worrywart,

call me irresponsible...

...but how do you plan to get off the base

without the MPs catching you?

Watch.

Watch what, Joe? Joe, Joe...

- Joe?

- What's he gonna do?

Is he gonna do what

I think he's gonna do?

Well, look here, Charley. I wanna

talk to you about your future.

My future?

See, you're gonna put on working fatigues

and be ready to cover up for Joe.

- What's that got to do with my future?

- If you don't do it, you won't have one.

- Ah.

- Yeah, OK.

Hi, Joe.

Is this note from Charley for you?

Nope. It's for you.

- This was your idea?

- I had to see you.

Look...

...it can never work.

Oh, be quiet.

It's gonna be a wonderful evening.

Come on.

Come on.

Why, thank you, Luis.

Oh, don't worry about it, Joe. You can

order anything. It'll go on Dad's account.

That's him.

That's the one from the convoy.

- I thought you'd taken care of him.

- I did. I had him confined to the barracks.

- I'll place him under arrest...

- One moment.

Let me look at him.

What's the matter?

The sergeant? Oh, don't worry

about him. He's a real pussycat, really.

That's seor Ortega. He owns a big

plantation on the other side of the island.

Dad really likes him.

Arresting this guy is not enough.

- I want him dead.

- Dead?

There's an investigation

goin' on right now.

Could blow the whole thing

wide open. You sure?

Yes.

And already I know

how you are going to do it.

Oh, come on.

Come on!

Like my bike?

Yeah. Yeah.

I had a nice time today.

So did I.

Would you like to come in?

I don't think I should.

I think you should.

Ten hut!

Come on. Get up.

We've got some soldiers in this unit
