Later in the film after Trautman is ambushed by the Soviets and captured, Griggs returns to the monastery to inform Rambo of the situation as he is repairing a wheel on a wagon. Rambo is angered that the embassy can't do anything to rescue Trautman so he asks Griggs to arrange a secret clandestine rescue mission and put him in touch with local guerilla fighters who know where he is being held. Griggs warns him that the government will deny any knowledge of the secret plan or even his existence if he is captured or killed. Rambo sardonically replies that he's "used to it", and Griggs tells Rambo that he will contact him and leaves. Rambo is left to continue fixing the wheel, anxious to rescue Trautman before it's too late.
