But in the desert are not minutes.

How long prayer.

I have a gift.

Richard...

I'm trying to get you out of your mind,

But it's weird.

You're on my mind every step of the desert.

My chef has no

track of time.

It never boiled an egg.

I've already lost in the desert

Like I belong here.

Peace and solitude surrounds me as an impenetrable cloak.

Deeper sleep than civilization can try.

And then desert without footpaths.

Again.

Before tribal wars,

this place was alive.

Now there are only ghosts.

What is this?

How is that possible?

It's the consul?

Messenger consul must have ridden day and night.

You'll have to stay here tonight.

My girlfriend,

Desert have I and my heart is with you.

Better suited to take you and kiss you.

It seems that God

joined us for a divine moment.

With so much bliss.

I could get back

An outpost of time.

I can not sleep... I can not sleep.

E 01.00 o'clock in the morning.

You and you're between me

Once telling me about life.

And fire. I burned

and I consumed.

It's a voice in me that

try and banish it. Says...

Another world claim me and take me.

And yet...

Richard...

I do not think anyone in the world to be like me

happier now.

You Baptist desert

And there is another rescue

for you.

Everything is behind us.

We just follow our shadows.

Think back

From our past lives.

For a woman're bold, like any man

Bedouin.

- Yes.

I want you to know bin Rashid.

We need to talk more about bin Rashid.

It has power to enemies.

Ibn Saud?

Yes, and many others.

- You have to find him in HAYR.

- Where is it ?

It's war in the south.

I thought I made peace.

It's over. Watch the HAYR.

A lot going crimes.

- For me?

- Yes.

You look so leniently

and hospitality, sheik.

And me

delighted with wonderful stories of the desert.

Any Bedouin is a storyteller.

But you gave me an insight

tribes and the tribes of Hayri.

And for that... I want to thank you.

I want to give you

This. It's my binoculars.

I see clearly now, so

I do not need him.

It's your gift.

I became a wandering desert

which is very rich.

Thank you.

And my man, Ahmed,

will be your escort.

You will not get hurt on the way.

But, once in Hayri,

nobody out.

Inshallah.

We want to see you again... alive.

Inshallah.

You can see very far.

Slaves do not know exactly what that means.

But it's an insult, I'm sure.
