You've got a family?
I'm the only one in this team who has one.
I belonged to the artillery.
I used to shoot cannons so big you could fit your head inside.
While trying to work out what to do with my life,
I met Koko by chance in Asia, and she hired me.
As you can see from these papers,
we're working the skies!
Thank you very much, Ms Hekmatyar.
Thank you for taking us on board.
Dragan Nicolaevich is the leader of the "Balkan Dragons" militia,
more commonly known as the Dragons.
You have ten of those fuckin' docs stuffed up your plane, doncha?
Hand 'em over.
Oh please, now we've got even more black hats.
Our presence here is causing Ms Hekmatyar considerable difficulty.
I can't just sit by and pretend to be cargo.
You're one of those fuckin' doctors who goes around undoin' my good work!
That makes you my enemy.
Koko, what's next?
Looks like we've got no choice.
Eliminate the Balkan Dragon militia!
Too close!
Too damn close!
A gunfight?!

Ms Hekmatyar! Please! Stop this!
Fucking arms dealer!
Don't shoot, Jonah!
Hold your fire.
Goddamn that bitch!
You'll pay... You'll pay for this!
I'll fucking kill you!
Clear.
Any casualties?
None.
What have you done to my airport,
Ms Hekmatyar?
You've dyed the tarmac with the Dragons' blood.
If their boss knew some manners,
it wouldn't have had to come to this, Captain.
The problem is, how are we gonna get out of this country now?
They'll attack us in the air for sure.
By road?
With all our cargo? No chance.
The Dragon took the leader of those docs and escaped in that car.
If I'd shot him, he wouldn't have had the chance.
Why didn't you let me shoot him?
Jonah, he wasn't worth soiling your hands.
The knight's sword remembers everything it has cut.
I can't allow you to go blunt.
You use so many metaphors that I don't get what you're trying to say.
That'll change soon.
And I let him get away on purpose. More or less.
Are you even thinking at all?
You're one to talk! Steal a tank? Are you nuts?
Hold it right there!
Let's hear your ideas before this turns into a brawl.
This is all a huge mess anyway.
If we don't hurry, he'll be back with even more men.
What anti-air defenses do they have?
Rocket launchers and artillery.
There's a good chance they'll launch missiles as well.
I'd bet money on it.
What if we launch flares?
You make it sound so simple.
What would we do afterward?
What about those 122mm cannons?
Mao, say that again.
Why don't we use those 122mm cannons to destroy their missile turrets?
Okay! That's the plan!
Excuse me, Captain, but could we have one of your 122mm cannons?
At an appropriate price, of course.
We'll be out of your hair in ten minutes, tops.
And in recognition of your help...
I can offer you a 20% discount on your next purchase!
Just do whatever you like.
Ugo! You and the pilot prep for takeoff!
Roger!
Everyone else follow Mao's orders! Take a 122mm on board and install it!
Ms Hekmatyar!
Where's Dr Riviere?
He was shot and taken away.
I'm very sorry.
What are you apologizing for?
It's the Dragon and I who are the crazy ones.
Don't forget your helmet.
Our takeoff may be rather turbulent.
Attack the moment they're off the ground!
Blow those fuckers sky-high before they can hide in the clouds! Got it?!
You know what'll happen if you fail, right?
He's like a kindergartener...
I can't believe people are actually following you.
It's a shame you've still got enough strength to run your mouth.
We'll make a video of you begging my men for mercy while the world looks on.
Then you'll die.
Keep dreaming.
Let's go!
Take off!
And while you're at it, activate both infrared jammers!
Dammit! They're really shooting at us!
That was close!
Like I said, Koko and the sky...
It's not her fault!
Anti-air battery!
They're using powerful infrared jammers! It's throwing off our aim!
The target's turning southwest! Put me through to the second turret!
Pilot, take us higher! Higher!
Roger!
Incoming missile!
Launch flares!
I've never been shot at in a plane before!
Re... Reload!
Don't let them shoot, Mao.
10,260 feet. Maintain altitude and speed!
Of course!
Cover your ears! Open your mouth!
Three! Two! One!
Flechette round fired. Direct hit confirmed.
Reloading.
Of course it hit. But saying it out loud helps relieve the tension.
Nice job, Mao! You've still got it.
They just had six thousand steel arrows rain down on them. I doubt anyone was left alive.
But don't let your guard down!
Schokolade, what are you doing soldering in my office?
It fuckin' stinks!
If you've got time to complain, why not treat me to lunch?
Yeah, what?
Scarecrow? It's me!
Hekmatyar?! Who gave you this number?!
Koko?
It was her?!
Listen. There's no time.
If you start blabbing, I'll hang up.
We're flying over the Balkan...
and we've found the Dragon.
What?!
There's a $5 million reward on his head...
That's awe- Wait, no it isn't.
I don't believe you! Where is he?
That's the information I'm selling.
The man himself, and the bragging rights for having caught him...
For a cool five million.
Five milllion-
Fuck you!
I wouldn't give a cent to vultures like you!
I see. That's too bad.
What a foolish man.
She hung up. That's some way to dump a guy.
Yes?
Schokolade, I've found the Dragon on the Balkan Peninsula.
I can set things up so you'll catch him easily.
The price is five million. You in?
You bet!
That was close!
Good thing they weren't using the missiles I sell, or we'd have been blown to smithereens!
Indeed.
How can you laugh at that?
How can you laugh at that?!
Ms Hekmatyar,
thank you for bringing us this close to the refugee camp.
We'll transfer the rest of the payment to your account.
I guess it's time for us to say goodbye...
Not quite.
My job isn't over just yet.
It's going to take a little bit longer, Ms Messner.
The contract was to deliver the ten of you.
There's one missing, and I'm out of replacement stock.
I'll need to retrieve it personally.
Thank you!
So, HQ is tracing the Dragon by satellite?
Yes. We haven't let him out of our sight since the Planina airport incident.
Could you do something about the annoying way you talk?
Anyway, I figured out this whole incident a while back.
It's got Floyd written all over it. He's behind this, right?
As cold as ever toward your father, I see.
Either way, I applaud your quick wits.
This way, everyone wins.
Floyd Hekmatyar wishes to gain influence with the Outspoken Doctors and the CIA,
and you're after the reward for the Dragon.
Scarecrow has just requested the US Navy to mobilize.
They're dispatching the special strategic unit, "Last Spurt".
Well, then.
Lehm.
Yes?
Time for the hunt.
Who should I take with me?
Wilee, let's put that 122mm ammo to use.
Mao! Load it up.
Commence mission.
People who kill too much turn into dragons one day.
Beasts that rule the land atop piles of money,
and fly the skies on wings of authority.
They become more and more violent,
until they can no longer understand the language of men.
We cannot allow dragons to remain in this world,
even though we are the ones from which they are spawned.
To slay a dragon is the greatest of honors.
You went too far, Balkan Dragon.
Goddamn, this hurts!
Damn those fuckers!
Doc, don't think you'll live to see the sun rise!
I didn't realize this when I picked the team,
but the three of us have been in charge of cleaning up since the old days.
Now that you mention it...
Phew, Wilee's bombs are scary.
They're pretty much all dead.
They took a 122mm flechette round right up their asses.
It's a mine.
What's that sound?
What?
Steel arrows?
Flechettes?
Got the doc and the Dragon.
The head doctor? He's quite lively.
Looks like it takes more than a handgun bullet to bring him down.
Your leader is safe.
Thank you!
Thank you very much, Ms Hekmatyar!
We're very grateful!
Thank you for saving Riviere, Ms Hekmatyar.
But your power is amazing. Scary, even.
I thought about what you said earlier,
and aren't you a dragon too?
I mean, not a bad one like the Balkan Dragon...
Nice one! You're a riot, Maggie!
Oh, I'm sorry...
What is it?
Did Maggie say something weird again?
A dragon, huh? Sounds nice.
Hopefully I'll get a bit better at flying through the skies, then.
Is it over?
Just one more thing.
Hekmatyar!
Ah, so good of you to call me back, Scarecrow.
Did you have a change of heart regarding my price?
I'll take it! Five million!
A pleasure doing business with you.
I've sent over the coordinates.
Congratulations! This will be all over the headlines tomorrow.
Adieu!
You bitch!
One day I'll see you behind bars!
Get me a visual on the location!
Right away!
Whoa, Koko doesn't mess around!
So this is what she meant by making him easy to catch!
I'll fucking kill you! I'll fucking kill you,
Koko Hekmatyar!
See you again, Jonah, Koko!
Some of those docs were pretty weird, huh, Jonah?
I like how she called me a dragon.
Jonah, what sound do dragons make?
...I think.
