Proof of Life Page #7

-What for?

-Give me your goddamn Bible!

Watch.

lt's all right!

Jesus, we're right there.

And there is the pipeline.

Hurry up.

l can't believe we're so close.

They are coming back.

You're crazy. You're risking our lives.

Okay, almost.

Goddamn fool!

l'm going to bring it back!

l'll take it back.

No, it's too dangerous. l'll do it.

Look at me!

These pigs are lucky to have you.

Muy lucky.

That's for your main account.

The others are subsidiary accounts.

-l'm signing all these?

-And initial each page.

You have to keep

each account under $200,000.

Anything over that,

they put a magnifying glass on it.

Once the accounts are available,

it takes less than an hour...

...for the funds to be transferred

from your bank in Denver.

Dino, that third drawer down

at the bottom, there's candles.

Maria, can you grab me

some candle holders?

Sorry about that.

Don't apologize, one has to live

with these guerrillas, I suppose.

Torch it up. There. Careful.

We need to initial the passport numbers.

The host with the most.

Just like your last birthday party.

What happened at your last birthday party?

Terry popped out of a cake...

...scared the sh*t out of us.

lt's a K and R thing.

You got to get me a pair of those boots.

l'll never make it out of here in these.

-You won't make it without me.

-No!

l'm not going to be responsible for you.

This is my decision. For me.

Once I start, l'm not gonna turn back.

You're not responsible.

Erich.

l have to get back to my wife.

l have to. lf I stay here, l'll die.

l know it.

This is not your problem.

l'm coming with you.

l can't stay here alone.

Not now.

l'd go crazy.

Marco, it's Tio. Acknowledge?

Marco, it's Tio. Do you copy? Over.

ls this thing usual? What is this?

A ploy? What is he doing?

He said he'd be on the radio on Sunday.

He's taking the figure back.

-That's a deal.

-Where is he?

Marco, if for some reason

you can hear me...

...but I can't hear you...

...we have to work out some other way

of communicating.

Marco, do you copy?

Acknowledge. Marco, do you copy?

lt's Tio. Calling Marco, do you copy?

We're getting a little anxious to know

if this deal is 100 percent.

Ask if Peter is all right, can you?

We need some kind of indication

that Peter Bowman is okay.

Which way?

The river's got to be this way!

Get up! We gotta keep moving!

-Come on!

-No, you got to get out of here!

Take this! Get the map out of here!

lt's your only chance.

-Promise me you'll keep going.

-l promise.

Sh*t!

Where's your pigs?

Marco, this is Tio. Do you copy?

Good day.

You better get out of there.

-What's up?

-The German. Kessler.

That missionary fella?

He's out. Some farmer dumped him

at one of my precincts last night.

What's that got to do with me?

He says he was with Peter.

He says they made a run for it.

lt doesn't sound good, Terry.

For the meals, we could eat together.

But the food, it's nothing.

lt's just to keep you alive.

But Peter would transform this crap

into a feast. He would say:

''Tonight, let's see

what Alice has made for us.''

Alice...

...you were everything for him.

He talked about you

and your daughter, Mali...

...all the time.

He loved you both so very much.

You have to know--

l'm so sorry.

He didn't see him killed.

He didn't see a body. He heard a shot.

You gotta wake up.

You gotta get real on this.

You don't spend that much time

working on a deal and kill your hostage.

When was the last time you had contact?

A week? Two weeks?

l've just had nothing but 22 days of static.

Maybe there are no more deals to be had.

Maybe this is coming apart.

Maybe he's alive.

Maybe he is.

Maybe he is. But what we do know

is that my guy is still up there...

...and they don't know Kessler's out.

They think he's dead.

Kessler knows every inch of that camp,

and he's willing to help me.

-He's a missionary--

-He's not!

He is from the French Foreign Legion.

So what? He found God.

He's got a map in there.

A map that I think is real.

Where are you going with this?

Okay.

This has to stay quiet.

And she has to know that.

You're thinking of going in?

ls that what you're thinking?

F*** thinking. That's what l'm doing.

l'm in there on the telephone. That's all

l can do. Tell me what else I should do.

Talk to me before you do anything, okay?

For you, I can do that.

For you.

lf you don't keep me up to speed,

l'm gonna take it personally.

You've been doing that a lot lately.

l can't hear any more of this!

-Wait!

-An eyewitness saw him killed.

Until we know for sure,

this has got to stay in play.

What are you doing?

Why are you doing this?

He didn't see a body.

Peter is dead!

Let me grieve!

-Why can't you do that?

-lnstinct.

Until I know, until l'm sure...

...until l've received a visual confirmation

of the body of Peter...

...l'm looking to retrieve my cargo

and complete my mission.

She's just a girl.

She's too young to be involved in this,

please. lt's very dangerous for her.

How are you doing?

l thought we had a deal going.

l haven't heard from you in two weeks.

l miss you.

Why don't you call me ''Tio''?

And l'll call you ''Marco.''

You've got a good game going.

Your wife thinks you're out

with the card buddies...

...they think you're off with a mistress.

And there you are, on the radio,

every Wednesday night...

...bartering human life.

This is a tape of my friend Marco.

lt's not the only one.

ls Peter Bowman alive?

ls Peter Bowman alive?

He tried to escape.

He was hurt.

He's alive.

ls he with the ltalian, Calitri?

How did you find me?

Now, I have $600,000 waiting.

l'll get another $50,000 off the books...

...between you and me, if we get this done.

Or l've got this tape.

l'll lay it on your golfing buddies and

you don't make it out of the car park alive.

So, let's just get this deal done, shall we?

lt's not the money.

That doesn't matter anymore.

lt's always the money, Fred.

You have $1 billion?

Because that's the money

we are talking about.

You think Octonal will buy this pipeline

without a promise from the army...

...to completely destroy us?

That pipeline goes right through

our coca fields!

They are buying a war.

Peter Bowman will never get down.

He knows too much.

We are fighting for our life.

Listen to me. There are no more deals.

Enjoy the parade, Fred.

This is the camp.

He said they call it Canyon Verde.

This is the river. This valley,

the big one below, is very active.

Every time the army moves through,

there's a skirmish.

March, May and June.

Kessler said that every couple of weeks,

the whole camp would run out and fight.

-Pipeline?

-Fifteen clicks down river.

Terry Thorne. Tomas Morales.

These guys are top. They're

my Panama crew, I trained them myself.

So, simply, all we have to do...

...is encourage the army to cross the river.

Right about here would be convenient.

Start a battle, drain the camp.

Drop into this flat area.

While they're fighting, we slip in
