Commando Page #3

Synopsis: A retired special agent named John Matrix led an elite unit and has left the armed forces to live in a secluded mountain home with his daughter Jenny. But now he is forced out of retirement when his daughter is kidnapped by a band of thugs intent on revenge! Unbeknownst to Matrix, the members of his former unit are being killed one by one. Even though Matrix' friend General Franklin Kirby gives Matrix armed guards, attackers manage to kidnap Matrix and Jenny. Matrix learns that Bennett, a former member of his Matrix' unit who was presumed dead has kidnapped him to try to force Matrix to do a political assassination for a man called Arius (who calls himself El Presidente), a warlord formerly bested by Matrix who wishes to lead a military coup in his home country. Since Arius will have Jenny killed if Matrix refuses, Matrix reluctantly accepts the demand.

- I'm almost through with you.

Listen to me.

My daughter has been kidnapped.

He's the only chance I've got

of finding her.

If he sees me or I lose him,

they'll kill her.

I need you to follow him,

tell him you're crazy about him.

Bring him over here.

I will do the rest.

You go back to your normal life.

Got it?

- No.

- Please, help me.

You're the only

chance I've got.

She has less

than 10 hours left.

They're going to kill her.

OK. All right. I'll help you.

There's this huge guy outside

in a green t-shirt.

He's a paranoid maniac,

and he's kidnapped me.

I need your help.

- I'll check it out.

- Thank you.

I hear you're great

with transmissions.

That's right.

Oh, yeah.

This will work just fine.

Biggs, are you there?

There's a guy over here

that may be wacko.

- I doubt I can handle him alone.

- I'll be there.

Want to see me kick ass?

- Wait here, miss.

- Thank you.

Attention all units.

Emergency on the theater level.

Suspect, 6'2", brown hair.

He's one gigantic

motherf***er.

This used to be a great place

for hunting slash.

It's got crowded now.

I think I found

something, though.

See you.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm waiting for my...

Hey, you looking for me?

Come with us.

Eh!

What?

Matrix.

I need a quarter.

Give me a quarter!

Move it!

Son of a b*tch!

- Out of the way.

- Freeze!

Aah!

Get him!

Come on.

- Stop or I'll shoot!

- No!

Hey, lady! Stop!

Wait for me!

Don't you go anywhere!

Who the hell are you, huh?

You steal my car,

rip the seat out, kidnap me,

you ask me to help find your

daughter, which I kindly do,

then you get me in a shoot-out

where people are dying.

You rip a phone booth

out of the wall,

swing from

the ceiling like Tarzan,

then a cop's going to shoot you,

and I save you,

and he starts chasing me!

Are you going to tell me

what's going on or what?!

No.

No? No?

Oh, my god! Watch out!

What are you doing?

Oh, look out! Aah!

This is not my day!

Whoa!

Whoa!

My car!

Aah!

- Are you all right?

- I'm dead.

You're all right.

Wait for me.

Where is she?

- Kiss my ass.

- I can't hear you!

I'll say it louder:

get f***ed.

Your loyalty is very touching,

but it's not the most important

thing in your life right now.

But what is important

is gravity.

I have to remind you, Sully,

this is my weak arm.

You can't kill me.

You need me

to find your daughter.

Open the door

Cook knows.

I'll take you where I meet him.

- No, you won't.

- Why not?

Because I already know.

Remember I promised

to kill you last?

That's right, Matrix.

You did!

I lied.

Aah!

Now you don't have a car.

Now I do.

- What did you do with Sully?

- I let him go.

Andale!
