The Ultimate Weapon

>> ( gunfire )

>> ( girl screams )

>> ( men shouting )

>> ( screaming )

>> ( groans )

No.

No, no!

Oh, no.

>> ( heart beating )

>> ( gunshot )

>> ( wings flapping )

>> Hey, honey.

How's the barn coming?

>> Just about done.

Just finishing the roof.

>> Huh.

Hey, careful.

Okay, what's wrong?

>> Nothing.

>> ( phone ringing )

>> Hello?

Yeah, sure, I'll tell him.

Right.

That was Top.

Your schedule's been moved up

and he wants you over there

ASAP.

So I guess we can forget

about that weekend getaway

we planned, huh?

>> Come on, Lorrie.

This is business.

Don't start on me.

>> Oh, I'm sorry for being

so disappointed.

You see, I just like spending

time with you.

It makes me happy.

But it's okay.

If you want to go off

and fight someone else's war,

hey...

I'm really tired of it.

>> And you think I'm not?

>> Yeah. Yeah.

That's exactly what I think.

We both know why you do this.

You are running away.

You are running away from

dealing with your daughter,

you're running away from

marrying me,

you're running away from

everything.

>> Lorrie.

>> Ben Cutter, you're not

the only one who can leave,

you know that?

Except you never have to

worry about me coming back

in a body bag.

>> You son of a bitch.

You look tired.

>> Not as tired as you, Top.

>> Not bad.

Just don't start thinking

you're invincible.

Come on.

Mercenaries die

when they get cocky.

>> Mercenaries die, period.

That's what they're born to do.

>> ( laughs )

Hell of a downside, isn't it?

>> The trick is not to play

the game too long.

>> You'll never quit.

Life doesn't get any better

than this and you know it.

Hardball,

this is Colonel Dermott Roark

of Her Majesty's Royal Marine

Demolitions Squad.

He'll be in command of the

United Nations interdiction

team during Operation Shamrock.

>> Hardball. Heard a lot

of good things about you.

>> Thank you.

>> It'll be a pleasure having

you under my command.

>> Let's get one thing

straight, Colonel.

I'm an independent contractor

for the NSC.

I get suggestions, not orders.

That means we're not subject to

or under your command.

Is that clear?

>> Perfectly.

But if my men or mission

are in jeopardy,

either you do what I say

or get out of my way.

Am I clear?

>> Gentlemen, please.

This is a joint op.

Once Hardball clears the LZ

of hostile forces,

Colonel Roark takes over.

Now remember, the UN team

will be unarmed as usual.

Colonel Roark's men are

prohibited from engaging

the enemy.

We want a clean takedown.

We don't want

an international incident.

Understood?

>> Everything should work

according to plan

unless you get neutralized.

>> You do your job,

I'll do mine.

Hang onto this for me, will you?

>> Why?

You're coming back.

>> What about my second?

Axeman or Crazy horse?

>> What about Cobra?

>> Cobra's dead.

>> Not quite.

>> Cobra!

Hey, Cobra, over here.

>> ( blows whistle )

Dead and out, Cobra.

>> That's BS, man.

Top called me off.

>> Cry to your mama, boy.

If you're on my course, you're

a full-time target, mister.

>> Yeah, Top? What's up?

Oh, Ben Cutter.

How you doing?

>> Is this a joke?

There's only one Cobra,

and he isn't it.

>> That was my dad's handle.

Now it's mine.

>> Give him a chance, Cutter.

>> No way.

>> He's the best I got.

>> Well, then you're a bigger

horse's ass than he is.

>> Come on, Ben.

You've got to give me a chance.

>> You haven't earned the right

to call me Ben.

When we're here, I'm Hardball.

And you're getting on my

nerves, got it?

>> All right, I'm sorry.

I forgot it.

>> Sorry doesn't cut it, kid.

First rule:

never break your ID code.

>> Look, you and my dad

were partners for 15 years.

All he ever talked about

was how you were the best.

I think he'd want us to

hook up and raise some hell.

>> And I'd think he'd want you

to go home and raise babies.

Look, kid, your old man

was my friend, and he died

in some half-baked country

nobody ever heard of

because some first-timer

like you screwed up.

>> I'll bet you my mission pay

I'm just as good as you are.

You and me right now

on this course one on one.

>> ( groans )

Hardly worked up a sweat.

Oh, man.

>> Looks like you made

a bad impression.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Hey, Top.

You're right. I'll take him.

>> ( men shouting )

>> Watch your back.

But if you need me,

I'll be there.

>> ( grunts )

>> ( rustling )

>> Whoa!

>> ( groans )
