Commando Page #4

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 sorry

I got you involved.

Tell me

what this is about.

- It's about her.

- Is this your daughter?

People are using her

to force me to do a job.

If I don't get to her soon,

they'll kill her.

- Did you do the job?

- No.

They would kill her

even if I did it.

Our only chance

is to get to her...

before they find out

what I'm doing.

All that matters

to me now is Jenny.

Let's go. Out!

Stay put.

- What are you doing?

- Helping you get her back.

- Check the drawers.

- All right.

It's Cook.

Mess up the bed.

Act like you had

a good time with Sully.

Look at this.

All right.

Yeah?

- Where's Sully?

- In the shower.

- Who are you?

- Room service.

Open the door.

Move over there.

Hey, Sully!

Oh!

Aah!

You scared, motherf***er?

Well, you should be.

This Green Beret's

going to kick your big ass.

I eat Green Berets

for breakfast,

and right now

I'm very hungry.

I can't believe

this macho bullshit.

F*** you, a**hole.

F*** you, a**hole.

These guys eat

too much red meat!

Ah!

Where is she?

Cook!

Let's go.

This must be Cook's car.

Let's search it.

I think

I found something.

Look at this.

What is this?

Coastal is a fuel depot

that supplies planes.

To whom, the airlines?

Usually smaller,

private aircraft.

Are you sure?

This is where my

flight instructor gets his fuel.

There are a lot of warehouses

on Pecondo Street.

Harris must be keeping

a plane there.

Let's go.

We'll take Cook's car.

He won't be needing it.

This is it.

Patria Enterprises.

This is where I was

this afternoon.

Go this way

and wait for my signal.

Cindy? Come on.

I've seen all the equipment,

but there's no airplane.

What about your daughter?

Harris and Bennett

aren't here.

She's wherever they are.

OK. Look at this.

These coordinates are

somewhere near Santa Barbara.

Longitude...

There's something going on

at this island north of here.

This must be where

they've taken Jenny.

Look, here's a photo

of an amphibian airplane.

- Maybe they use it to fly there.

- Let's look at that invoice.

Type 4 fuel is amphibian.

to the island and back.

But it isn't here.

I've seen everything.

It was refueled at pump station

That's San Pedro.

- How long to fly to the island?

- About two hours.

- Are we going to the plane?

- Not yet.

- Where are we going?

- Shopping.

Shopping?

Come on. Come on!

Wow!

- What's that?

- Rocket launcher.

Go!

Freeze! Don't even think

about it!

- Stick him in the truck.

- Come on. Come on.

If you call

General Franklin Kirby,

he will explain everything.

Kirby, huh? I think

we ran him in last week.

Hey.

Hooker.

Not bad.

- What's she doing?

- She's got something for us.

I bet she does.
