In the Claws of the CIA (殺手營)

What time is the Russian due in?

Two o'clock.

Mr. Chan said we should be very careful.

The KGB will stop at nothing to get him back.

You don't suppose they're going to try

one of their fake reception committee stunts, do you?

I doubt if they'd pull that on Bruno.

An old intelligence operative like him

would spot that trick in a second.

So far they've answered all our signals.

Good, he doesn't suspect a thing.

This is like taking candy from a baby.

I can't believe the CIA haven't interfered with us yet.

You don't suppose we've been overestimating them?

Welcome to freedom, Mr. Bruno.

Thank you very much.

Please watch your step, sir.

We're not out of danger yet.

Goodbye, sir.

Thank you, my friends.

What's going on?

I don't understand.

Those two are probably tourists,

but we can't be too careful.

Hands up.

Drop that gun.

Just keep moving towards the car, sir.

We'll keep those two covered.

I've got good news for you, Colonel.

Your man was safely intercepted at the last minute.

So I've heard.

He's on his way to Washington right now.

That's swell.

Don't let me interrupt you, do sit down.

That was a close one.

I knew you would bring it off.

Nobody suspected they'd try that old trick.

Don't laugh, it almost worked.

Oh, would you please have this film developed

at the usual drugstore?

Certainly, sir.

We certainly appreciate all you've done for us.

We of the Chinese-American community

are proud to serve our adopted --

And the money's not bad, either.

Mr. Bruno, you were in charge of the insurgency program

for the KGB.

You seem to have some kind of secret weapon.

No bullets, but plenty of dead adversaries.

I've got a strange feeling

this technique you've been using isn't all that new.

As a matter of fact,

you have hit the nail right on the head.

What we have done, basically, is add the modern technique

of auto suggestion to the ancient Chinese martial arts.

The result is a human killing machine.

Of course, the men have to be in

perfect physical condition and completely trained

in a wide variety of different fighting styles.

What about the auto suggestion?

We have developed a method by which...

by which, you might say, the fighters can put themselves

in a kind of hypnotic trance.

In this operation, only the Killer instinct remains alert.

They even lose their sex drive?

So would you in that state.

You've certainly supplied us with a wealth of information.

I'm pleased to help the cause of freedom.

It's good to have you aboard, sir.

Thank you.

That was pretty mind blowing, sir.

You guys are really on the ball.

Thank you for --

It's an honor to be associated

with a professional like you.

Thank you.

Now, how about some real American hospitality?

You are very kind.

I'll bet you're hungry after that long session.

Well...

Where the hell are the security guards?

Right at our front door.

Is this your idea of freedom?

I tell you, heads are gonna roll for this.

How in blazes did they get a sniper on the CIA lawn?

I don't believe it.

One of our own people.

Here's the file on that killing,

but as far as we're concerned, that Russian

never set foot in the United States.

Stop making faces, Sanders, this is the CIA.

Sometimes, we play rough.

I know.

Now we're supposed to find ways and means

of copying this Russian fighting technique.

I don't know who this we is you're talking about,

you're the martial arts expert.

Would you please tell me

where I'm supposed to find that --

Easy, Sanders, ours not the reason why.

How about paying a call on that venerable gentleman

who taught you all you know? The Chinese connection?

All right.

I know when I'm licked.

If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

That's what the man said,

I'll get back to you on this one.

I sure hope he can help us.

Hold it, this is private property.

If you don't want your face rearranged, get lost.

Listen, if you hold these for a second,

I can prove I'm a friend of the boss.

You call that fighting?

You guys never learn, do you?

Oh.

Not so fast, buster.

Halt, who goes there?

Not another beginner.

Pleasant dreams.

Where's Mr. Chan?

Right in back of you, turkey.

I thought you were a fighter. What's this flower power routine?

Watch.

Huh?

You old devil, you haven't changed.

Something nice for your lapel.

Now then, to what do I owe the honor of your visit?

I'm on a confidential mission for the agency.

We've just discovered the Russians have developed

a new technique of martial arts.

Oh, there's nothing new about that technique.

We've known about it for centuries.

As a matter of fact, there's a man teaching that technique

right here in the United States.

His name is John Liu.

Right here?

Well, not exactly around the corner.

He has a school somewhere in the suburbs of Santa Barbara.

He calls his technique Zen Kwan Do.

He's a real hotshot, champion of the world. Twice.

He and his brother are native born Americans.

He served in Vietnam.

When he got out, he said he was so disgusted with war,

he never wanted anything to do with the military again.

Since then, he's become a pretty good tournament fighter.

All the belts, championships, you know.

It's ironic, his identical twin brother

is still serving in the military.

Something to do with a liaison in the far East.

Far East?

I suggest we bring him home on a recruiting mission.

This time, destiny got there before we did.

The twin was injured in a car accident.

He's recuperating on his brother's ranch right now.

Well, how's the patient doing?

Okay.

It takes more than a car accident

to put me out of commission.

Right, being tough's an old family tradition.

Listen, I thought about what you told me last night.

You know how I feel about war.

I think you're going to have to be

the patriotic member of the family.

John, I wasn't asking you if you'd like to get involved

with the CIA.

I was telling you what you're going to have to do.

You know how Uncle Sugar is.

No way he's gonna take no for an answer.

He's not gonna get a yes outta me.

I'm looking out for number one.

What's so goddamn funny?

For a guy who's been all over the world,

you're awfully naive.

If the government wants your services,

they know how to make you volunteer.

Not this boy.

I wouldn't be so sure of myself.

Even a macho like you has his weaknesses.

Blow it out your ear, brother dear.

You'll see.

Take my word for it.

You won't win this one.

I win them all.

Put down the groceries, honey, you're coming with me.

Easy does it, honey.

Get your hands off me, you low-life creeps.

Get her.

Oh, please help me.

Those men are trying to molest me.

Get back here.

You stay outta this, mac.

Going my way?

Save yourself! Run.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

I live just around the corner.

Come on.

Talk about a knight in shining armor.

You've got a great place here.

My brother and I were really lucky to find it.

Here.
