Rambo stays one jump ahead, until he is surprised by a boy hunting in the woods; he jumps the boy, knife in hand, but simply tosses the boy's rifle away and flees. Guard troops then spot him and open fire, chasing Rambo to an old mineshaft where he hides, but the Guardsmen manage to trap him inside. Rambo, however, fires back at the raw Guardsmen and succeeds in pinning them behind a hill. They then use a shoulder-fired rocket and blow up the mineshaft. They believe that they have killed John Rambo, to the anger of Teasle, who is unaware that Rambo manages to narrowly escape.Once out of the woods, John steals a truck which contains an M60 machine gun and boxes of ammunition. He drives through a police roadblock and back into the town, where he sets fire to a gas station. Teasle learns that Rambo is still alive but is trapped in the police station as Rambo uses his M60 to shoot power boxes on phone poles and thus cut off power, then shoots up and blows up a gun shop, and finally blasts away at the station. John eventually opens fire and badly injures Teasle, but is confronted by Trautman who tries to talk him out of killing him. Rambo, now surrounded by Guardsmen and police, finally breaks down and yells out all the frustrations he has kept inside himself since he returned from the war and tells a meandering story about a bombing in Saigon that killed some of his buddies. Rambo finally is reduced to tears, and agrees to surrender himself, his anger finally purged from his soul as he is led away by Trautman.
