Negative!

Birds have taken heavy fire. We've

stopped entering Nigerian airspace.

We'll give you what help we can

from our end, but right now...

...you are on your own.

Man, l hope you know

what you're doing.

Me too, sir.

All right. We'll keep you advised

if the situation changes.

Negative on the evac.

Come on. There you go. Come on.

Hang on to the knot, doctor.

-Come on.

-We got you.

Come on. Come on, doc.

Americans.

Some went in the helicopter.

Some went up the mountain...

...to Cameroon.

Slo.

Give me your chow, man.

l don't like roast beef anyway.

We're a little over 30 klicks

to the path to Cameroon.

Roger that.

What do you got?

We got a large body 1 0 klicks back,

bearing 3-6-0 and closing.

How strong?

Thirty, maybe platoon strength,

maybe more.

Rebels?

Could be.

Why would anybody be following us?

l don't know.

But we're gonna find out.

Good job.

-Keep an eye on them.

-Roger that.

-Sir?

-We got a problem.

We got possible hostiles on our 6.

Get them up, get them ready to move.

Roger that.

Dr. Kendricks, could you come with me,

please?

Thank you. lt'll just take a second.

-Do you know why anybody'd follow us?

-No, l don't.

You sure?

Yes, l'm sure.

-Think hard.

-l told you, l don't know.

Get your people ready to go now.

These people have been going

for over 30 hours.

Come on.

Red, help the doctor get ready to move.

How you doing?

The f*** you mean, how am l doing?

You know what l'm talking about.

You know as well as l do...

...that when we left that mission,

those people were dead.

And then we take 28 men, women

and children...

...and we hump for a day.

Zee, keep them moving.

Be with you in a second.

We get them to the LZ, and we leave

them behind to die like the others.

l'm confused.

And the boys are confused.

Get to the point.

Why'd you turn that bird around, L.T.?

Talk to me.

l'm with you either way.

You know that.

When l figure it out, l'll let you know.

This way.

-L.T.

-Go, Lake.

You're gonna want to come

tak e a look at this.

Get Dr. Kendricks up here. Come here.

We'll rest here for a minute. Stay down

in these trees. Listen to my men. Go!

Slo.

Stay down. Stay down.

Zee, Flea, with me.

What do you got?

Ringside seats to an ethnic cleansing.

How strong?

l counted seven so far, sir.

-Flea, get eyes on.

-Roger that.

There could be more in the hooches.

Bring them up.

Sir, we could go around them

to the north.

L.T.

Rules of engagement.

We're already engaged.

Hand me the binoculars.

Flea, you got the Zippo?

Roger that.

Zippo first.

Red Team, right flank. This way.

Edge of clearing. Wait for my go.

Silent and quick.

Gold Team, on me.

Silk, close up that back door.

-Flea, keep your eye on the package.

-Roger that.

Holding.

Let's go.

On-site.

Goddamn.

Been going at it all day.

-On-site.

-Roger that.

Go!

lt's okay. l'm here to help you.

l'll help you. lt's okay.

Atkins!

Hide!

Go! Run! Get out of here!

-Doc, get them out of here!

-Move!

Go! Go!

Hold on. You hold on.

Come on, little man, come on.

Boss, you want me to take a look

at that?

l'm all right.

lt's a kid. lt's only a f***ing kid.

Motherf***er. Get the f*** up.

Look at your work, motherf***er.

Lake.

Doc, get over here.

Red.

Her baby's dead.

Zee.

Eternal rest grant unto her, oh, Lord.

Let perpetual light shine on her.

May her soul and the souls

of all the dead rest in peace.

Eternal rest grant unto her, oh, Lord.

Let perpetual light shine on her.

Eternal rest grant unto her, oh, Lord.

Let perpetual light shine on her.

May her soul and the souls

of all the dead rest in peace.

She has a low pulse.

How can they do this?

This is what they do.

They cut off the breasts

of nursing mothers...

...so that they'll never again

feed their own babies.

This is what they do.

Doc.

l need morphine.

Dr. Kendricks.

Dr. Kendricks.

lt's all right.

-ls something wrong?

-Let me take care of your arm.

All right.

Careful.

Try this.

lt will help you stay awake.

What is it?

Cola nut from the tree.

lt's harmless.

We've been using them

for generations.

Patience, right?

How long you been at the mission?

l live there.

l've been living there since l was 1 0.

How come?

l heard they were helping children

who had been forced into the war...

...so l ran to them.

Will you get me to my daughter?

Yes, ma'am.

How'd you end up here in Africa?

l came here with my husband.

We wanted to help.

We went to Sierra Leone.

They were short of doctors there.

Cut.

How did your husband die?

We were at the hospital.

The rebels came.

My husband tried to stop them,

to protect me...

...but he couldn't.

l'm sorry.

You did a good thing today.

l don't know if it was a good thing

or not.

Feels like so long since l've done...

...a good thing, the right thing.

You should have some rest.

Thank you for taking care of my arm.

Easy, boss.

-Are we there yet?

-Glad to see you still got it...

...but we got trouble.

You all right?

What do you got?

This is the outfit

that's been on our tail.

-Hey. You with me, boss?

-Yeah.

-This is at 2200 hours.

-Yeah.

Four hours ago.

Three hours.

We figured they'd make camp

and come at us after first light, right?

Bad call.

Two hours ago.

One.

These guys run the damned Olympics.

They've been closing in on us all night.

How long we got?

An hour, two tops.

We shouldn't have stopped.

How the f*** are they tracking us

at night?

Someone's transmitting something.

Zee.

We got a rat in the nest.

Get them up.

Take their weapons away.

We search everybody right now.

-Okay, team.

-Dr. Kendricks.

-Turn two.

-Lena. Get up.

Everybody, up.

Point out everybody that came into

the mission in the last three days.

-Right now.

-Let's see the weapons.

Give me your weapons.

-Gideon.

-Let's go. Step forward, sir.

Who else?

Who else?!

These people.

-Step forward, you two, right now.

-On your knees.

L.T.!

Down! Now!

Silk.

No!

-Hey! What the hell are you doing?

-He's my friend!

You know what?

He could also be armed.

Get back there with the others!

Go on!

-Watch his hands.

-F***.

Sh*t.

What the hell is that?

What do you got?

He's bugged.

You f***!

-Stop it!

-Who told you to do this?

-They have my family.

-Who told you to do it?!

-They have my family.

-Who has your family?!

l was promised no harm

will come to them.

-Who told you to do it?!

-Stop it!

-Who told you to do it?!

-Col. Sadick.

Col. Sadick.

who give him information.

About who?

lnformation about who?!

We have to follow....

Who?! Who?!

We have to follow....

-Follow who?!

-Arthur.

Arthur?

l am not a killer.

The f*** you're not.

-What do you wanna do with him?

-Let him bleed out.

Why?

What is going to happen

to my family?

l don't know.

-Help them.

-Zee. Lake.

-Get them up.

-Everybody up. Now.

Who knows what this is?

This is a transmitter.

...Dr. Kendricks' good friend.
