second blood o'reilly the mission

Tony O'Reilly, Lord High Executioner of Independent Newspapers (Proprietor surely? - Ed note) sprawled on his couch in the TV room at Castlemartin.
He was enjoying a video night with his trophy wife Stavros Niarchos.
They were sitting cuddled together while the old First Blood film played on the box.
O'Reilly watched closely as the famous scene with Richard Crenna as the Green Beret Colonel Trautman tried to persuade slimeball Sheriff Teasle, played by former Johnston Press chief John Fry, not to steal ten years of James Healy's pension contributions.
It's a dramatic moment.
Richard Crenna snarling: "For God's sake man, I've seen Heelers tell jokes that would make a billy goat puke."
And Sheriff Fry smirking back: "What are you trying to tell me? You think this Heelers is some sort of Rambo?"
And Richard Crenna replying grimly: "No. He's worse. Rambo would eventually get bored and go away."
Tony O'Reilly's eyes narrowed as he watched.
The words of the actors seemed imbued with a strange high mystic significance.
But he couldn't for the life of him figure out what it was.
