The Dogs of War Page #5

You're working for me, Shannon.

You could fire me.

If anything comes up,

I'll be in touch.

Mr. Shannon,

when I am president...

it would be to your advantage

to be my friend.

Mr. Endean could tell you

what a generous friend I am.

I got all the friends

I can handle right now.

Forget about your soldiers.

I got my own.

Just don't be late.

Don't worry.

He's expendable.

To the hotel.

I wanted to

waste the bastard...

but I figured

you had to talk to him.

Just so we understand

each other, you're dead.

Give me straight answers,

and I'll keep it painless.

Go f*** yourself.

Oh, no!

No. No!

Who's paying you?

Who's paying you?

Same as pays you.

What'd he have you doing?

Keeping track of

your whole operation.

He tell you to kill North?

He was a journalist.

He'd have blown it for you.

Did Endean tell you to kill him?

I make my own decisions.

So the bloody fool said,

"Don't bother to wrap it.

"I'll eat it on the way home."

The measure of a man

is in his appetites.

The more you consume,

the more you are.

Do you measure ladies

in the same way?

No. Ladies are not measured.

They are judged.

Oh, very good.

Maybe one of you ladies

would like...

to come to my palace

in Zangaro, huh?

How many bedrooms do you have?

Caroline and I had thought

we'd like to visit your country.

I'll get it downstairs.

Maybe you both can come?

With your appetites,

you'd need us both.

Hello.

Yes, good evening, sir.

It's a very bad connection.

He's already signed

all the agreements.

All the papers will be dated

once he's in power.

Hello? Can you hear me?

What?

Manson Industries...

will have the exclusive

mineral and mining rights...

for all Zangaro.

No.

No, he's no idea

what's at stake.

I promise.

I don't believe

he can even spell "Platinum."

Things are going very well, sir.

Valencia. On the 18th.

Subject to

technical difficulties.

It can happen.

But you got to be there.

Want a drink?

No.

You don't need

to worry about me, mister.

But I do.

Look, Shannon,

if something goes wrong...

I lose my license.

I don't care about any of this.

I want that stuff

on board tomorrow.

What is it?

It hasn't left Madrid yet.

We made a deal.

It's too risky now.

If they check

your end user certificate...

you're finished.

Cancel the order.

Want to give me my money back?

Make the call.

Brown.

Sir, that's one of my seamen.

Want to see your papers.

Why do you need eight men

in such a small ship?

Seamen's card?

I left it with

my buddy's gear aboard ship.

He's an employee of the company.

Missed his ship in Brindisi.

He's coming with us to Malta

and going on to Telakia.

Right.

That last port.

Last place

anybody will check the hold.

You did good back there.

Whose war are you gonna fight?

Out!

Squad, attention!

Do you think

these geezers can fight?

Strictly bush league.

Never seen anything newer

than bolt-action Enfields.

I hope they don't blow

the bottom out of this tub...

when you give them the Uzis.

Reporting, Captain.

Let's go.

All right.

Pay attention!

We'll fire a few rounds,

show you how they pull.

Now, they tend to pull up

and to the right.

I'll give you an example.

Squad!

Ready!

Fire!

Squad, attention!

Stand easy.

Cuban.

We'll be on the beach at 0400.

Sentries are spotted for you,

so be quick.

Once the firefight starts,

we got only 15 minutes.

If it goes over that...

I don't want to even

think about it.

- How long to the bridge?

- About 10 minutes.

If none of you have worked

with hired soldiers before...

we handle tactics. That's all.

We give you support fire,

bring up the rear...

but it's your fight.

You gotta do it.

You gotta be alive to get paid.

- Everybody understand?

- Yes.

Kimba! Kick his ass!

Hold here...

north of the border

for two hours.

Then you start southeast

toward the coast.

End up right there at 0330.

- No patrol boats?

- I said that.

After you drop us,

stay there till we get back.

If they start tearing us up...

it's the only place

we got to run to.

I'll be there.

If you're not,

hope to hell I got killed.

Send it.

- Right on schedule.

- Let's go to work.

Let's go.

Move it. Pick it up.

Hurry.

You didn't tell them

we were coming?

Derek, get over there.

CI ose it.

One CQ.

- Two CQ.

- Three CQ.

Four CQ.

Squad!

Let's check them.

Get! Get! Get!

What the hell happened

to support fire...

and bringing up the rear?

Ready? Come on!

The Ministry of Works...

will have to start

clearing up tomorrow.

Shannon's got him

in the main building.

There.

You're late!

What the hell's going on?

Who's that?

Colonel Bobi,

you are under arrest.

President Okoye.

I am president.

You're nobody.

Shannon, get him out of here.

This whole country's

bought and paid for.

You have to buy it

all over again.
