The Prototype...

Currently, our friend Grove

is playing the D.C. charity circuit.

Big donor.

He's also big with the Star Wars crowd.

And he ought to be.

Half of them are on his payroll.

He's good. Real good.

No more Boy Scouts.

Yes, George.

This is interesting.

Someone's trying to enter a circuit

I had marked for special surveillance.

I wonder who the intruder is.

- What's the matter?

- I can't get what I'm looking for.

I hate to hear you say that.

Why should the HARP D.B.A. Cost-62

be restricted?

Maybe you've got cold hands.

Allow me.

See?

Do I sense frustration?

I'll bet you've had

a lot of experience with that.

If I continue to stroke these little keys here...

You might stunt your growth.

No, Lieutenant,

I'll seek satisfaction elsewhere.

Come in.

- Major Fleming.

- General, I have a problem.

The computer is classifying cost overruns

within the HARP database.

- You know what I think about computers.

- Sir, it's not a malfunction.

Maybe it hasn't been entered yet.

They're entered and available,

otherwise access would not be denied.

General, I'm the senior W.C.A.,

I should have access to that information.

There's no reason for it to be withheld.

Right. We do have a problem.

Just let me have a full report.

It'll be on your desk tonight, and, sir...

I really would appreciate action

by the time I return from Fort Baxter.

- Fort Baxter?

- The AR-60 test.

Grove infantry assault rifle.

Of course. The AR-60. You have a job to do.

But, Rayner,

let me give you a word of advice.

Never feel you have to overdo it.

You know what I mean?

It makes no difference to me

that you're a woman.

That's good news, sir.

If it's any reassurance, it makes

no difference to me that you're a man.

All right, what have you done with the food?

A Korean fingerboard.

What are you staring at?

- You can't see.

- I can see.

Then what're you wearing those for?

I wear glasses so that I may see more.

A Korean fingerboard.

Begin tapping your fingers.

Slowly at first and then increasing the force.

With time, your nails will become hard,

your fingers strong.

They will be able to do more than

just carry food to your face.

- They will become a trained weapon.

- Trained to kill?

Not kill. A truck kill.

Meat of cow, kill.

American assassins kill...

like butchers.

Masters of Sinanju, since the dawn of time...

have killed to promote harmony...

and to bring about a more peaceful humor

to the entire community.

We have done this throughout history.

For example...

Genghis Khan...

the Persian boy, Alexander...

Richard Sapir

Richard Ben Sapir (; 1936–1987) is best known for The Destroyer series of novels that he co-created with Warren Murphy.The first Destroyer was written in 1963, while Sapir worked as a city hall reporter in Jersey City and Murphy served as secretary to the city's mayor. Ahead of its time with a plot centered upon a brash young westerner trained in the martial arts by a master assassin from North Korea, the book went unpublished until June 1971 but eventually spawned a highly successful adventure series with over 30 million copies in print by the late 1990s. Before arriving on the illustrious shores of Sinanju, Sapir worked as an editor and in public relations. In addition to The Destroyer series, Sapir wrote five novels: Bressio (1975), The Far Arena (1978), The Body (1983), Spies (1984), and Quest (1987), a modern-day search for the Holy Grail. The Body, which was made into a movie in 2001, is about a Jewish archaeologist who finds a skeleton underneath an Arab shopkeeper's basement that might be the body of Jesus and the American Jesuit priest who is sent by the Vatican to investigate. Richard Sapir was a graduate of Columbia University and lived with his wife in New Hampshire before he died in 1987 from a heart attack. more…
