Which was something they had never seen...
which liberated a yellow, very pungent and acrid vapor.
The actions of the hard line military regime are the cause...
of increasing international concern. The regime crushes all dissent.
Ethnic groups are being oppressed in the East of the country...
and foreign journalists are rarely...
Tonight that some form of chemical weapon has been used in Burma...
- by military rule... - ...Has led the national uprising.
Thousands took the streets and thousands were killed in Burma.
Many peaceful protesting monks have been killed, some burned alive...
and others drowned. Foreign journalists have been shot and killed.
As thousands of villages have been destroyed.
Rape and torture are a daily occurrence.
In Burma, there are more landmines than anywhere in the world.
Young men are beaten and forced into the Army. Many as young as 12 years old.
Beheadings and mutilations are commonplace.
The Karen people, comprised mostly of poor Christian farmers...
have been singled out for extermination.
Military government wants the abundant natural resources on Karen land.
The bloody Burmese military campaign against the Karen people...
has been going on for almost sixty years.
The longest running civil war in the world.
Okay, the first man here is the number one in Thailand.
He is very, very dangerous, number one.
Two snake that you see...
that are snake cobra or common cobra.
It is not King Cobra and not Spitting Cobra.
Hey, he!-
Where have you been? Give him the bag.
We need another Python. See what you can do.
We have enough Cobras, okay'?
Fuck off, okay?
The next one, number two...
still have venom and still have poison.
He is Thailand's number one.
King Cobra, number two.
They're called Spitting Cobra because they spit poison to your eye.
One hour.
He is very, very dangerous. Number one in Thailand.
Careful, my friend.
Looks like danerous work.
I'm Michael Burnett. Do you have some time to talk?
It won't take Ion, I promise.
I was told it might be possible to rent your boat. We'd like to do that.
Is that possible? We need to get upriver.
- Where you going? - lnto Burma.
Burma's a war zone.
Well, that's what people call it, but it's more like genocide than war.
Anyway, this will be my fifth trip in, so, we are aware of all the risks.
I don't go that far North.
Let me explain our situation.
Our church is part of a Pan-Asian Ministry, located in Colorado.
We're all volunteers, who around this time of year...
bring in medical supplies, medical attention...
prayer books and support for the Karen tribes people.
People say you know the river better than anyone.
- Well they lied. - So what I'm asking...
is that we compensate you for a few hours of your time...
that will help change people's lives.
- Are you bringing in any weapons? - Of course not.
You're not changing anything.
Well...
It's... it's thinking like that, that keeps the world the way it is.
Fuck the world.
- Let's go. - Why?
He's not interested. Let's... let's just go.
- Let me try. - Look, Sarah. I don't...
Didn't you say it's the only way up there?
- I know I did. But I've already told... - No, wait, then what do we have to lose?
- I talked to the man and... - Just let me try, Michael.
- Sarah? - Please.
Hello?
I'm Sarah Miller. I hope you don't mind me coming back here.
- Uh, the man that you were talking to... - I wasn't talking to anybody.
All right, the man that was talking to you...
asked if we could hire you to take us up the river.
- You said no. Why? - Can't help you out.
Well, if you have pod reasons, would you mind if I heard them?
Go home.
Please, not my son!
These boys are now our soldiers!
They belong to me now!
If you try to get them back, your whole village will burn!
If you ask the Karen Rebels for help, I will cut out your tongues!
If you go against me I will feed you... your intestines!
Hear me, believe me and fear me!
Why'd you come back?
Waiting for you.
I told you before, I can't help you.
We need to go and help these people. We're here to make a difference.
We believe all lives are special.
- Some lives, some no. - Really?
If everyone thought like you, nothing would ever change.
- Nothing does change. - Of course it does!
Nothin stays the same.
Live your life, because you got a good one.
It's what I'm trying to do.
No, what you're trying to do is change what is.
And what is?
Go home.
Really. Go home.
Maybe, maybe you've lost your faith in people.
But you must still be faithful to something.
You must still care about something.
Maybe we can't change what is.
But trying to save a life isn't wasting your life, is it?
As bad as these people are, they will eventually lose.
They can't keep it up against a united front. They can't.
I mean, time alone will only tell, but...
in the meantime, we just have to help hold it together.
I mean, just the other day I read... Excuse me. Sarah?
Where are you going'?
- To talk to him. - Well, he probably wants his privacy.
Michael, you shouldn't ignore him. He's helping us.
- He's been paid. - He didn't take anything.
Thank you, again, for doing this. Really, from all of us.
You know, you never told us your name.
John.
Where are you from?
Bowie, Arizona.
Why'd you leave?
I got drafted in Nam.
And you just stayed?
It's complicated.
Do you have family back home?
Father maybe, I don't know.
Aren't you curious to see how things might have changed back home?
Got to have a reason for that.
Sarah?
Because of you, we're going upriver.
Any time you want to turn around, it's done.
Okay.
What is it? Who are they?
Burmese pirates. Tell everyone to stay down. Don't make a sound.
- Who are they? - lt's all riht, it's all riht, just keep...
Don't talk!
- Any more of them? - Maybe. What do you want to do?
We should keep going. We made a commitment.
I ain't talking to you. What do you wanna do?
We're a group here. If they wanna vote, we'll vote.
- Sit down! - If it's money they want, we'll can...
Nobody talks. Heads down.
Keep your heads down and nobody look them in the eye or they'll kill you.
You have lights! Turn them on!
I want to see you fucking fools. Do it!
This part of the river belongs to us.
You try to go past?
We could kill you right now.
- Why didn't you respect us? - I respect you.
We want what you have on the shit boat!
Where are you white fools going?
- To bring medicine to the sick. - Look here.
Is that a woman? Bring her here! Bring her!
Take what you want and leave her alone!
You shut up!
You bring her!
We'll pay you.
I know you will. Bring her here!
- We'll pay you all we have. - Fuck you!
Get up! Get up, whore!
No!
What did you do?
We came here to help stop the killing!
- Who are you to take... - Who are you?
- Let him go! - They would've raped her fifty times...
and cut your fucking heads off“.
Who are you?
Who are any of you?
We're going back!
No!
No, we shouldn't go back.
- Let go. - What are you doing?
We are so close!
What would happen here...
it's horrible.
But the people in there are being killed like this everyday.
Michael! This was your idea!
We made a commitment.
I know you don't believe in what we're doing...
but it's our life. Our choice.
You're not gonna change anything.
Please.
Please, John. Please.
Go sit down.
It's alright.
We'll be taking the overland route on the way back...
so there's no need to wait around.
I have to report this. I know you think what you did was right...
but taking a life is never right.
I don't know what to say.
Maybe you shouldn't say anything, should you?
Good luck.
Hey!
Open.
With power, through his spirit, in your inner being...
so Christ may dwell in your hearts with faith.
And I pray.
You may have power together with all of us.
Well, let me see if I can fix this little problem, okay?
Hey you.
Hand me one of those bandages'?
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay.
- Get outta here! - What about them?
Go on, I'll take them!
No!
Come in here, calling Raven.
Come on, Raven.
What am I?
You made me this way?
A full-blooded combat soldier.
You just don't turn it off.
Talk to me, Johnny.
You just don't turn it off!
- It's over. - Nothing is over!
When are you gonna come full circle?
- I know the reasons you're here, John. - No!
Aren't you curious to see how things might have changed back home?
Haven't you done enough damage'?
You're always gonna be tearing away at yourself...
until you come to terms with what you are.
Until you come full-circle.
- So you're just gonna stay here forever? - John!
I wanna go home, I wanna go home.
John Rambo!
John?
John Rambo?
My name is Arthur Marsh...
pastor of the Christchurch in Colorado.
I need to talk with you.
It's very important. I wouldn't have come here like this if it wasn't.
The morning of the day the group left...
Michael Burnett notified me that they were traveling from this location.
- What happened? - No one knows, exactly.
They were supposed to return ten days ago, but they never came back.
I requested help from the Embassy, but they can't help.
Not in Burma. And not in time.
How do you know they're alive?
Because we've been in contact with the Karen Freedom Fighters...
who say they think they know where they were taken.
And I was given the name of an ex-military American local...
from the Embassy who put me in touch with men
who say they have experience in this part of the world.
Mercenaries.
Yes.
I don't have any other choice.
You know the exact spot. We need you to take these men...
to where you let our people off.
When are they ready to leave?
When you are.
You know what you are.
What you're made of.
War is in your blood.
Don't fight it.
You didn't kill for your country.
You killed for yourself.
God's never gonna make that go away.
When you're pushed...
killing's as easy as breathing.
My head was mangled And my words were torn
Covered in blood Like a newly born
Hey, the wishing well
Sing it soft and low
I stayed for a while In the hollow sound
The only water came up From the ground
Look at this fucking place. Only a fucking ape would live here.
What the fuck am I doing here?
HEY-
Knock that shit off!
- And you don't like the arts. - And you don't like shit.
I like your sister, Diaz.
She got a thing for retards.
Hey, boat man.
How much loner on this ancient piece of shit?
So what did the Reverend say to you?
Some shit about folks going missing. I said to him, "Look, mate.
That's what you get when you go trespassing into fucking Burma.
That's what you get when you go sniffing around other people's garbage.
You know those enerals in there make millions crankin out meth...
more than any other place on the fucking planet.
- Bullshit. - Millions, moron.
How do you think they pay for that shit army?
Yeah, try reading the paper, redneck, instead of sleeping under it.
Fuckin enerals, biest junkies of all of them.
- It's noble, Lewis. - You what?
Those people going in there with no weapons. Just books and meds.
- It's noble. - Hey. Schoolboy.
You stick your noble nose into other people's business, you get fucked up...
or you get dead.
The only reason I'm doing this is for an ex-wife and three kids.
And after this shit is over, you can shove that soldiering right up your ass.
- Try the decaf, mate. - Fuck off.
And you. I don't wanna fuckin die of old ae before I et there. So move.
You say something'?
Sing it to yourself Sing it all night
Spent a lotta time In the garbage can
Fighting over food With the garbage man
Hey, the wishing well
Brin that one out to the pis.
I was digging a well
With an old blood stain
Poking around With a blind man's cane
Is it me?
Or does the air this time of year smell like a goddamn wet dog?
Fuck sake, I could swim faster than this.
- Am I right? - Heard that.
Come on, chop, chop.
The quicker we get there, the quicker we get back.
Those God Squalors.
They come over here, spouting all that shit.
And they expect the whole world to work like their fucking neihborhood.
Well, it doesn't.
So they send in a devil...
to do God's work. It's ironic, isn't it?
Am I boring you, mate?
Or is it... is it the trip? Has it got you nervous?
Because really you should appreciate the action, you know what I mean?
It's gotta be better than looking at the ass end of a snake.
Oh dear.
You really are an uptight bastard, aren't you? bastard, aren't you?
You can drop that act with the eye stare.
I've seen it all before.
And I'm not impressed.
He's old school SAS.
The first rate soldiers who've been told they're maniacs.
They call me Schoolboy.
The name stuck with me since sniper school.
And me mates won't stop calling me no matter how many people I shoot.
He still waits patiently But time is a snake
What do you want from us?
One man and a kid. You gotta be fucking joking.
- Is this all the rebels they've put up? - l'm not liking it.
We're in the fucking jungle, so there's nothing to like.
How you're doing'?
My name is Myint. This is Tha.
- Is this it? - Yes.
- What's up with the kid, man? - He's pod tracker.
We don't need a tracker. We need a fucking guide.
You know the exact location, right?
Ten kilometers west, to north, six tall walk.
- How many soldiers? - Hundred, maybe.
- Hundred? - Yeah, what'd he say?
More new soldiers come tomorrow.
I know I'm just a white trash runt, but I can count.
- Fuck fuckin with a hundred stron... - All riht, all riht, all riht.
Let's get this straight.
We don't engage anybody. If we can extract these people, good.
But it's in and out, clean, or we fuck off.
Somebody wanna tell me what the boatman's doing?
What? Why aren't you waiting with the boat?
My men are staying with the boat.
You're the boatman. You stay with the boat.
- I won't slow you down. - Yeah, I know you won't.
- It's not a fucking nature hike. - Believe that.
- He could hang with me at the back. - Hey, hey. He stays here.
He's the boatman. He stays with the fucking boat.
I want a white man on it, not some fucking dink.
- Now who's got explosives? Tombstone? - None.
- Round of C4 and primer. - I ot a Claymore.
All right.
Let's get on with it.
Come on, move. Move!
What the fuck is that?
Called Tallboy Bomb.
English dumped in World War Two.
Your people. Taken from here.
Man, I have seen some shit.
Brother, I ain't never seen no shit like this.
Word.
Check it out.
Armies come. Kill everything. Leave our dead here as warning.
Tha? Go home. Hurry!
You've seen enough.
Mines everywhere.
Watch where you waking.
- All right, let's move on. - To what?
They even killed the fucking dogs.
- Those people are dead. - l'm with En-Joo.
We'll at least have to go and have a look-see.
- Check it out. - l'm with you. Let's check it out.
- Check what? They're a hundred strong! - Hey, we took the man's money!
Hey, hey, hey. Just calm down. Calm down.
We go then. And we see what's what.
If anything's wrong...
anything at all...
we leave.
All right?
Yeah.
- All right. - Good.
- Which way? - This way.
Army! Go! Go!
- I'm going to fire on them. - No.
If they don't make it back to wherever the hell they came from...
man, they're onto us.
You hold the money. I bet the one on the end.
What the fuck are they doing, man'?
- How long before they go missing? - Three hours. Maybe four.
- Who are you, boatman? - Let's move.
Move'? They're gonna come hunting our asses down when these guys dent show up.
We don't need this shit. We're oin back to the boat. Let's o.
Whoa! - Hey, hey, hey!
If any of you boys wanna shoot...
now's the time.
And there isn't one of us that doesn't wanna be someplace else.
But this is what we do.
Who we are.
Live for nothing.
Or die for something.
Your call.
What's your call?
Let's move.
Come on.
When Schoolboy's on the tower, we ot fifteen minutes.
Set our watches to one forty-five.
In, out, no waitin around for nobody.
We'll meet at the base of the tower.
If he don't make it up there, we're fucked.
He will, people. All set?
- Yeah. - Set.
We're in.
Go!
Don't talk, hear me out!
- Where's the girl? - She's over there.
You untie him. We'll be back for you.

There are two of them in the cage. Near the pigs. Get them.
Got it.

- Let's move! - Where's the boatman?
And Sarah.
Fifteen minutes, that's the deal. We're leaving.

- Bullshit! - He knew the deal.
Hey, we came toether, we fuckin leave toether!
- Your life. Let's go. - Not without her!
God didn't save your life, we did. Now fucking get up.
Get up. Move!
This way.

- Why'd you come back? - Why did you?
- An hour till daylight. - This way.

Shut up, shut up, we got you. We're getting you out.
- Oh shit. - His leg is shredded.
- Oh shit. - Where's the guide?
- That son of a bitch is one. - Fuck him, I know the coordinates.
We're not making it to the river with him.
Will you shut the fuck up? Come on, untie his leg.
- Take off his boot. - No!
Leave his boot on.
Let us in here, we're doctors. I need a knife.
Here, here, here.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Spread out!
Take the point.
Take it. Take it.
You hear that?
They're tracking us.
- Turn around. - What are you doing?
- Just move. - What?
Turn, turn.
I want you two, to head Southeast of the river. And the boat will be waiting.
If it's not there, you keep following the shoreline.
- Till I find you. - What about you?
I'll be all right. Give me that Claymore.

Fire off a shot!
Go! Go!
