Tears of the Sun Page #4

You have any more of these here?

Why would anybody wanna transmit

our position?

Transmit our position

to over 300 Nigerian soldiers...

...who ran all night...

...to get to within an hour and a half

of where we are now?

Red.

Somebody's gonna tell me.

Somebody's gonna start talking

right now.

Because if they don't tell me

what l want to know...

...by the time l count to five...

...l'm gonna kill someone else.

One.

Two.

Three.

Don't f*** with me.

-Four.

-Please.

Please.

There's no need for this.

Please.

Now you got something

to say to me, don't you?

My name is Arthur Azuka.

l'm the only son

of President Samuel Azuka.

Please don't blame them.

Please.

l'm sorry to have misled you...

...but there are enemies

looking for me everywhere.

That is why you're being pursued.

Our report said the entire

presidential family was executed.

Your reports were incorrect.

They were not executed.

They murdered my father...

...along with my mother...

...and my two...

...younger sisters...

...out of greed...

...and my father's fight for democracy

for his people.

My people.

When it first appeared

there might be trouble...

...my father sent me away with this man.

Col. Okeze.

Lieutenant, his father was more

than the president.

He was the tribal king.

That makes him the heir

to the lbo nation.

lt's a bloodline they must cut.

The Fulanis will comb heaven

and earth to find him.

You knew about this?

You knew all the time,

and you didn't tell me.

l didn't trust you...

...at the time.

l wonder what it takes

to earn your trust.

Red, Lake.

Tell them to pack their things.

We're leaving.

Men, give them their weapons.

We're moving out of here.

-Pack up your things.

-Come on.

Move it out!

-Get in, get out. Okay?

-Come on.

Move it. Move it.

-Come on. See you. Hurry back.

-Back in formation.

They must continue their route to

the Tandjile Pass or they'll lose a day.

So they must come out here,

near the Cameroon border.

No!

How many men

do you have in Gashanka?

Right on time.

Good hustle, Red.

Come on up and brief Zee.

This river will get us

straight into Cameroon.

They'll be expecting us.

What do you think?

l think we're f***ed

either way we go.

We backtrack, cross downstream...

...come up, go through the jungle

and rip right into Cameroon.

Roger that. Let the other men know.

-Yes, sir.

-Good job.

L.T.

-What do you got?

-Rhodes on the phone.

Yes, sir, captain, this is Waters.

lntel reports military elements

in your sector...

...conducting search and destroy

of a U.S. military unit...

...moving with Arthur Azuka, son of the

late president. What can you tell me?

Yes, sir, we just discovered that

ourselves.

He and his bodyguard hid themselves

within Dr. Kendricks' refugee party.

That's a major problem, lieutenant.

He inv olves your mission in the

internal politics of a foreign nation...

...affecting U.S. diplomacy and

seriously increases the mission's risk.

He's considered a criminal

by the new regime.

He's a major liability.

-What exactly does that mean, sir?

-His party is excess cargo.

You mean he's not human, sir?

Captain, this man is the lbo tribal

leader. Do you know what that means?

Cut the sh*t. Who do you think l am?

Sir, we both know what'll happen to him

if l leave him out here.

There won't be a trial or a jury.

Outside the courthouse,

they'll put two in his head.

l'm just asking for a little help here.

Put yourself in my shoes, Bill.

l've been in your shoes, lieutenant.

Send in an air evac immediately

and get all of us out of here, sir.

Negative on air support at this time.

Airspace is too hot.

Your judgment has risk ed the lives of

your men and the mission's success.

l advise you, complete the evacuation

as planned! Do you read me?!

Yes, sir, l read you. Loud and clear.

But l cannot, in good conscience, do that

without taking these people to safety.

That's not your mission!

When have l not completed a mission?

My team will complete this mission.

l give you my word on that.

l don't like this.

Get your ass back here alive

soon as possible.

Maintain contact with OP center.

l'll direct air support

as soon as l can.

I promise you.

Yes, sir.

Eagle One, out.

Bring them up.

Everybody up on L.T. now. Double time.

So much for diplomacy.

Come on, let's go.

Here's the deal. lt's been strongly

suggested that we turn over Arthur...

...and abandon these refugees

out here in the bush.

l'll tell you right now

l'm not gonna do that.

l can't do that.

l broke my own rule.

l started to give a f***...

...and brought you guys along with me.

We're about to walk into some serious

sh*t. Before we do, l'd just like...

...to hear what you guys have to say

about it. That's all. Speak freely.

ln my opinion, sir...

...we cut our losses.

This isn't our f***ing war.

As far as me being in or out...

...you know the answer to that.

Let's get these people to safety.

Let's finish the job.

l can't leave them, sir.

l'm good to go.

What about you, Red?

l can't look at them

like packages anymore.

l'm gonna get them out...

...or l'm going to die trying.

Are we there yet?

Thanks, fellas.

Strip those packs down

to rolling gear only.

Have the refugees drop anything

that don't go '' boom.'' Let's move.

Double time. Let's go. Hustle.

L.T...

...those Africans are my people too.

For all the years that we were told

to stand down and to stand by...

...you're doing the right thing.

For our sins.

Hooyah.

Hooyah.

We gotta go.

Let's go.

Lieutenant.

l'm sorry l didn't tell you

about Arthur.

l should have trusted you.

lt's not your fault.

l would've done the same thing

if l was in your position.

l wouldn't have trusted me either.

l'm gonna get your people

to Cameroon.

l promise.

Come on. We gotta hurry.

L.T., hold one.

Hold one.

What do you got, Lake?

Everybody down.

Get down! Get down!

Where you at, motherfuckers?

Where you at?

Fat f***.

Look at this motherf***er.

P*ssy.

Clear, L.T. lt's just a pig.

l'm crossing over.

Sniper, 1 1 o'clock.

Sniper, 1 1 o'clock.

-Zee!

-Smoke! Give me smoke!

L.T...

...l got hit. Sniper.

Go!

-Look who it is. The f***ing cavalry.

-Keep your hand on that.

-Sit him up.

-How's he doing?

He's all right. One in the shoulder.

Clean hit.

Sorry, sir. He caught me sleeping.

Don't worry about it.

-Did you get that little son of a b*tch?

-We got some of him.

-You see anybody else?

-Sorry.

-l'm better than that, sir.

-Don't worry.

l'm better than that.

-F*** that.

-Can you walk?

Yes, sir.

Let's go, Doc. Make it tight.

Get me back in this sh*t.

All right. Ready.

Get down!

Grenade!

Dr. Kendricks!

Lena!

Lena!

Lena, listen. Wake up.

Wake up. Oh, God. Wake up.

Wake up. Do you hear me?

Okeze! Okeze!

Wake up.

Okeze.

Lena, listen to me.

We've gotta get out of here now!

You hear me?

Listen, we gotta get out of here.

We gotta get out of here right now.
