Red Scorpion Page #3

Synopsis: Hesitating in the moment he is about to kill the rebel leader, Nikolai fails and is captured. Rather than being killed outright, he is forced to undergo a shamanic initiation ritual.

Sundata? He's with you?

Yeah.

All right. Pick over these foreign dogs

and let's go.

This is the rebel life?

Kallunda.

I have brought some friends.

Mister Dewey Ferguson.

Sir, Did you bring some chewing gum?

Sorry, sir.

Well, we'll just have to tighten

our belts another notch then.

And who is this?

A deserter.

He helped us escape from Cuamo.

He saved our lives.

I am grateful to you.

I am the one who's grateful, sir

I think it is best,

if we keep you confined for now.

It will be safer for everyone.

Keep an eye on him (In African)

Yes, sir.

As a member of the armed forces

of the USSR...

I will always be ready...

to defend my country...

with dignity and honor...

with dignity and honor...

Shut the hell up.

Guard.

What is it?

Do you have a bandage?

Bandage.

You'll make me look all damn night.

How's everything (In African)

It's quiet.

Keep alert during the night.

Don't fall asleep, huh?

Keep your eyes open, okay? (In African)

Be a good pal...

I'm afraid I am not as trusting

as Kallunda.

It is a weakness that

I indulge for the

sake of those who rely upon me.

You son of a b*tch!

They sent you on a fool's mission,

solider.

Whether I live or die

makes no difference in the world.

We are a people...

and we want our destiny.

I understand what happened.

I leave you as an insult to your people.

They will find him...

And see that even their most

perfect tools of war...

cannot harm us.

And they will deal with him in ways...

we ourselves could never bear.

Look, look, look.

What have we here?

The pride of the Soviet Army.

Look at you.

What happened out there, Lieutenant?

They did not trust me.

Sundata is alive?

Yes, General.

How could you fail?

How!?

I am a soldier, General.

I tried everything possible.

But, I know when it is wrong.

Wrong! What does that mean, wrong!?

Everything was wrong.

You are a simple instrument of war,

Lieutenant...

not a true warrior at all.

It is not your place

to question the plan.

You are Spetsnaz.

A perfect killing machine.

Now... what have you told the Cubans?

They know nothing.

Good.

Very good. Well, that's something

in your favor.

General, I am giving you my best.

Best?

Can this man be killed.

Yes.

Yes. But, apparently not by you.

You are a great, great disappointment

to me, Lieutenant.

You are no longer Spetsnaz.

General.

Please...

you are taking away my life.

Now, now. I will speak to

the Cubans, Nikolai.

And we'll get you cleaned up

and released.

General Vortek, has given me

the most delightful task... advisor.

The task of arranging...

for your execution.

Does that surprise you? Eh?

It certainly surprises me.

You see, I don't think
