Jim Andrews: Well? Man: They levt Ankara on time, "Mother." "Eagle" should have landed in Iran nearly two hours ago. Jim Andrews: Damn him! Duke knows he's supposed to contact us on touchdown! Man: Maybe his parachute didn't open, sir. Jim Andrews: Not a chance. I packed it myself. Man: Well, maybe he decided to keep the payoff money for himself. Jim Andrews: Perhaps. I was hoping his mother would discourage that. Man: That reminds me, I better check on her air supply.

“Mother” is clearly a code name for Andrews, as “Eagle” is for Duke. Mother is Duke’s real mother.

“Unless they have her and buried somewhere with an air supply. Ransom.”.More like extortion, “Do as we say or your mother dies.”The code name “Mother” would be chosen to remind Duke what was at stake.(Commando Arnold Schwarzenegger would be about to kill them all, save his daughter mother and make out with the lovely Rae Dawn Chong.)
