Army of One Page #10

Synopsis: Frustrated with the U.S. Government for its fruitless efforts to bring down Al-Qaeda's leader Osama Bin Laden, the eccentric middle-aged, part-time construction worker Gary Faulkner, after a personal visit by God himself, takes the decision to embark on an adventure in the badlands of Pakistan to get the job done. With the intention to bloodlessly capture and bring the infamous, yet, elusive leader to justice, Colorado's former handyman turned vigilante, will overlook his problems with diabetes and meticulously prepare for the long and perilous journey. Between reality and pre-dialysis hallucinations, armed only with a teleshop katana and a Stars and Stripes hang glider, this American samurai on a mission from God is determined to take matters into his own hands and succeed at any cost. Is he a hero or a crackpot?

Aw, I love you, too, sweetheart.

Don't wait up, babe.

Gary!

Come back.

Don't worry, I will.

So, why don't you use

your free will

and freedom of choice,

and then make the decision

that'll make us both proud.

What?

What if I just gave up?

You, me, and...

Lizzie, we could just

spend some time together.

I love you, Marci Mitchell.

I don't know.

Come on.

Gary.

Gary!

Gary!

All's I want to go do

is take a nap

for about two days.

Gary Faulkner

from Greeley, Colorado,

was found alone in a forest

in northern Pakistan.

Well, I was thinking that

someone's got to get him.

Why not me?

And joining us now exclusively

this morning is Gary Faulkner.

- Good morning.

- Well, good morning.

Did you find out where he was?

Yeah, he's waiting in a cave

for me to go get him.

But because

he had broken no laws,

Pakistan didn't charge

him with any crime.

All of this right here,

I didn't even want any of it.

You were in Pakistan

for ten days.

You were captured

by the Pakistani officials.

His trips cost a lot of money,

but they were not about him.

He said they were

about the American people.

I have never met more humble

and open people than that.

Well, how do you go about

trying to find Osama bin Laden?

You don't.

You let the spirit guide you.
