get me mixed up in... Look!

I can take you with me

or I can leave you here.

Where are you going?

I can't very well tell you

if you're not comin'

with me, can I?

If you think I'm going

to fink on you,

you're probably right.

Wait a minute!

Wait!

(Sandra cries out)

Can I please stop now?

My feet are killing me.

We can slow down a while.

Oh, we can slow down,

that's wonderful!

- Hey!

Don't you know I

killed Colonel Nunez?

And they're after both our asses?

They wanna kill us both.

Well can you at least tell me

where we're going?

- No!

The less you know the

better, now let's go.

(suspenseful music)

[Sandra] Wait for me!

(Sandra whimpers)

(snake hisses)

(gunshots booming)

(yelling)

(groaning)

(gunshots booming)

Hold it!

Wait, no no.

Wait.

Wait, wait, here's

the man you want,

right there... Move!

That's the one... Move!

Their main force is concentrated

on the northern slopes of

these hills over here.

At 05:
00, we'll launch

a surprise attack.

Catch them off guard.

Helicopter attack

will swoop down.

And commence firing at exact

zero point 5:
10 ten hours.

Good, well that oughta do it.

The usual mopping up

operations will follow.

Are there any questions?

That's it gentlemen, thank you.

He is an enemy of the people.

Why don't we just kill him now?

[Laura] No, he's also a

fugitive of the government.

We don't know that,

he could be a spy.

Wait a minute.

There's another thing

to be considered here.

For instance, he's

not directly known

to have been involved

in any atrocities.

I am a fugitive

of the government.

I killed Colonel Nunez.

I'm wanted as much as you are.

Seein' as how we're

fightin' the same enemy,

I could be a great help to you.

Can you believe he can

change sides automatically?

Just like that?

That kind of mercenary

we don't need.

Don't you think I'm as

skeptical as you are?

But this must be democratically

decided in the morning.

(somber music)

(martial music)

(helicopter whirring)

Chopper!

(muffled speaking)

Get outta here!

(gunshots booming)

(explosions booming)

Sh*t!

You gonna stand there, or

you gonna use that thing?

Quick!

- Thanks!

(Sandra screams)

Come on, move!

Come on.

(yelling)

(explosions booming)

(gunshots booming)

Number one, number one, come in.

Change your coordinate,

from 030, at four o'clock.

They are now on the southern slope.

(explosion booming)

(bones crunching)

(gunshots booming)

(groaning)

(explosion booming)

(explosion booming)

(yelling)

Red Leader to Bravo One, Red

Leader to Bravo One, over.

Redirect fire, to northern valley.

Range of target 200 meters, over?

That's a negative.

Convoy has been captured by enemy.
