helicopter pilot in Africa.

So, still working for this government?

- No. I work for myself.

Soldier of fortune?

A mercenary ... A whore.

But even whoring has its own rules.

I am expensive and I never get

emotionally involved.

My meter keeps on ticking through second sin.

Nothing against you personally, doctors,

but I can not afford to

work for an individual.

More important, individuals

can't afford to hire me.

I hope that you will recover your wife.

You can shake hands later.

Be prepared to leave before dawn tomorrow.

What're you talking about? As far as the

meeting goes, it was an unmitigated disaster.

It was a qualified success.

I do not want to pay a mercenary.

It is immoral.

Would you find it immoral if you

find your wife back?

Any way you're prepared to pay anyone.

- How can you say?

I know Jim rather better than I know you.

And franky, I find you more

surprising, Dr. Linderbi.

You must learn to trust people

whatever they do for a living.

I do not understand.

What are you here for?

You are a friend in need.

Come on!

Put that on.

The saftey is on the top!

- I beg your pardon?

You've never handled one before?

The nearest I got was to

bandage the wounds on an occasion!

Well, just switch the saftery over,

point the gun and press the trigger.

The gun itself will do the rest.

I'll work it out somehow.

And you watch the road!

Incidentally, we haven't

discussed the price yet!

I'll talk about it

when you save your wife.

Then you can make a contribution

to my favourite Swiss bank.

Brian Walker hinted to me ...

- If I were a Robin Hood?

Nice. I told you what I am.

You act like as though I have a

moral duty to help you!

You probably have that attitude

because you're a doctor.

Handling the wound of the mankind

and that crap.

Or maybe it's just marriage.

It's generally accepted that the

single people are the selfish ones!

Leaving someone to weep over you?

Is not that little self indulgence?

This river is the border. They'll

have to cross by a boat or raft.

Then we'll stop them.

There they are!

They are almost across!

- What can we do?

I can't land over there!

- Why not?

Because they broke diplomatic

relations six months ago!

You want to start a new war?

- But who will see? There is no body there!

Let's go a little closer.

There she is! There!

Anansa!

- David!

Shoot, man!

David!

For God's sake! Shoot!

Jump!

Let's go.

Look!

David! No!

Don't lose our ammunition!

Guide them. And stop screaming!

The men want me to kill you.

They are superstitious.

And, frankly I must say, I did not have a

slave who's given me so much trouble!

But you're lucky, I'm superstitious also.

This is my last trip and

I want to make it a pleasent memory.

I've got a little money aside,

I'll buy a car, nice things,

Spend time with my grandchildren ...

- You can't talk like that!

You tried to kill my husband!

- The Pilot?

The other man.

- Ah the swimmer!

I admire his courage, but, believe me ...

Ansok!

I'm not going to kill the girl.

I'm not even going to kill Jamil.

I'll merely ask him

to leave our family.

If someone else wants to follow him

into the wilderness, go ahead.

And that's without pay!

But I do not want to leave you!

- No? - No!

We shall see. First, return

the money I gave you.

Why did you kneel?

I have not asked for it.

Is it because you see in me ... father?

- Yes, yes ...

I've always been like a father?

And forever I will always remain so.

Father! Father!

Now go and take care of slaves!

Thanks.

- Thank you.

Dr. Hemantha Sudasinghe (Sri Lanka)

Doctor! Wait!

Here, doctor!

Wait for me!

I want to talk to you!

Come with me!

Doctor, please!

Room 17, please.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

Your life is in danger. Close it please.

You're being followed.

- Obviously!

A man called Hassan,

A paid cussword.

Paid by whom?

- Anyone who needs him.

The commissioner, the army, and sometimes

a slaver called Sulleiman.

This is the man you're looking for Doctor. Sulleiman.

- If you say so.

What now?

- Do you have the money to buy her back?

How much is her market value?

Let's see ... Rolls Royce here

costs about 75 thousand dollars.

I saw a photo of your wife ...

Therefore, 50 thousand?

It would take at least

a month to get this money.

They will cross the Red Sea by then.

What can I do?

There is another alternative,

or be it, rather a long shot.

This whole proposition is nothing else so far!

Now one has to assume that

Sulleiman has reached the desert.

And I think you need a "vulture" to find him,

I happened to have a "vulture". Interested?

- Of course!

Very well.

Thank you for that,

and do not leave the room.

And what about that fellow out there?

- I'm going to take care of him.

You know you have very little chance,

But, with my "vulture", you'll have a slight edge.

- Who is he?

Malik.

A year ago Malik's family

was taken into slavery.

He tracked them almost to the Red Sea.

- Did he find them?

Found his wife near the

fattening house of Zed Al Kabir.

She's been raped, Sodamized,

had her throat cut

Of the children, there was no trace.

Since then, Malik has lived apart

from his tribe, in shame,

waiting for the slaver who stole his family.

Who was it?

- Sulleiman. Your man.

Now you just need to stay here till dawn.

- Is there he usually shelter?

If he is curious enough.

Will he be curious?

- That you never know.

Cigarette?

- No, thanks.

Yes, of course, you are a doctor.

- Exactly.

Wait, wait!

My good Jamil ...

Come on!

Enough! Be put away!

Dongoro...

Dongoro ... are you a witch doctor?

Doctor, we have company.

Doctor!

We have company.

Mr. Brian Walker ...

- Malik...

I brought a friend. He may be useful.

Has he news of Sulleiman?

- Yes.

Sulleiman has robbed him.

- It's not news.

Of his wife.

I followed Sulleiman all the way from West Africa.

- This is important news!

One year I waited news

that Sulleiman is on the move.

Where is he now?

- I think he entered the Sahara.

I was left with only a thousand

dollars. If you will help, take.

With that it is possible to catch him.

This is for the camel, this for food,

this is for the weapon and ammunition.

But I travel alone.

I have not come all this way so

that I let someone else finish it.

Either we go together or go alone,

if I have to.

You ride a camel?

Know how to shoot a rifle?

- No.

Have you lived in the desert?

No.

Mr. Walker, your friend is indeed a fool.

Yes ... Perhaps.

We leave tonight.

Thank you, Malik? I'll try not to mess ...

- Just stay alive!

Very nice of you, Malik!

Very nice.

Stay here. I'm going to get the supplies.

Do you see this?

Get down. Get down ...

Get down!

Down!

Hold the reins, pull them down and say ...

And stay like that! Stay!

Up! Up!

Get up!

You have to say ...

Come on, children!

Welcome! We'll be happy to

share refreshments with you.

We have our own refreshments.

Make camp!

May your tribe prosper a 1000 years!
