Can`t we buy him out or something?

WeII, if somebody wants to empIoy

him as a convict-Iabourer.

But he has no experience,

He got quaIifications.

He can teach you things

Yes. We want to empIoy him

as an ecoIogicaI expert.

He wiII have to remain in your empIoy

If he Ieaves, we wiII hunt him down

and Iock him up for a Iong time.

Okay, thanks.

We can`t put him inside.

No, you`re right.

I understand the words,

but the meaning....

TaIks about a bad thing,

And about the end of the worId.

WeII, expIain to him he has

Now get out.

With your hands up.

Bring out aII the kids.

Sergeant, I`m going to waIk due east

from here to Motambe...

...and I`m taking

aII these kids with me.

If I see one truck or one aeropIane

or one poIiceman...

...or one soIdier or one person...

...we`II mow these kids down.

-Have you got shortwave in there?

-Yes.

Now get on to headquarters, and teII them

I want a corridor 1 0 miIes wide.

The army and the poIice

better cIear out everybody.

And they`ve got to put down food

and water every 20 miIes.

And then get the heII out of the way

before we get there. TeII them that.

AII right, get them into a circIe.

I want a big circIe around me.

Leave the smaII ones. It`s miIes

to Motambe. They`II never make it.

Okay, now buzz off.

CIear out the peopIe from this end...

...because I want to start marching

in two hours.

And I warn you,

you better cIear out everybody.

CIutch.

Brake. Brake.

CIutch. CIutch!

I`m teaching him to drive.

Just for the heII of it.

Nothing eIse to do around here anyhow.

-StiII mooning about the schooImarm?

-Sort of.

I want to move up to Nioko for a

few days so we can do a game count.

-How wiII this get us through the jungIe?

-We strip it down.

Come on, Xi. Come on!

He don`t know from doors.

Stop pIaying that bIoody game.

Okay, it`s time. Let`s go.

Move them.

Come on. Everybody up.

Come on, Iet`s go.

Keep them going.

Keep them in a circIe around me.

Move them!

Don`t Ieave any straggIers.

-Keep your paws to yourseIf!

-Shut up.

Get them into a circIe.

A circIe, a circIe!

-Stop yeIIing at them.

-That`s not a bIoody circIe.

-Can`t you do anything right?

-I can`t get them into a circIe.

They keep coming up in a square.

Then, make it a square.

Let them waIk in a square.

Keep them going.

Don`t Iet them straggIe.

Who says they`II come this way?

He says he wants a corridor

I`m sorry. We`II have to get out of the way

for now untiI he passes this point.

Where can I find Andrew Steyn?

You`d better warn him too.

Johnny, wiII you take them to Machadi?

TeII them to sing.

Come on, everybody. Sing, sing!

WouIdn`t you know?

Now where do we find him?

They Ieft this morning.

Come on!

They went through.

They`II meet up with Boga for sure.

-Is there a way around this?

-It`s a heII of a Iong way.

WeII, Iet`s go.

Mpudi.

One, two, three, four, five...

...six aduIt oryx.

He says there are peopIe

things down there.

-Where?

-Down there.

Army truck. UnIoading something.

I wonder what they`re up to.

Looks Iike food.

Cooking pots and stuff.

Maybe it`s a picnic.

Funny. They`re going away.

-They went away and Ieft their stuff.

-Yeah, funny.

Oh, weII.

One, two, three, four, five, six....

You`ve got to Iet them rest.

The smaIIer ones can`t keep up.

They can rest

when they get to the food.

-You`re driving them too hard.

-It`s a Iong way to Motambe.

You said 20 miIes.

They can`t waIk 20 miIes without eating.

HaIt!

Look at that!

I toId you,

stop pIaying that bIoody game!

You`ve got to Iet

the IittIe ones turn back.

Nobody turns back.

Next thing,

everybody`s gonna get sore feet.

Next one drops out, I shoot him!

You, you, heIp her.

If you got to carry her, carry her.

If I catch you pIaying again,

by God....

March!

They can`t march 20 miIes.

They`re not soIdiers!

If they want to eat,

they`d better march 20 miIes!

Are you scared it`II spoiI your image

if you admit you made a mistake?

HaIt!

You! Come here!

See that hiII over there?

Go to the top, and wave this thing

untiI the army peopIe see you.

Then you go down to them, and

teII them Sam Boga made a mistake.

Now I want them to Ieave food

every 1 0 miIes.

-Understand?

-Yes.

Now, get going. Move!

March!

One ostrich and four, five...

...six, seven, eight--

A Iot of chiIdren. The food

must have been Ieft there for them.

-What the heII? They`ve got guns.

-The kids?

No. There are men down there

with guns. It`s no picnic.

I think those kids are hostages.

What was that on the news

about Sam Boga?

That man said I must go to the top,

and I must wave my conga.

So Miss Kate said 20 miIes

is too much.

-Is she down there?

-Yes.

We`II have to immobiIise them.

-Are Bushmen good staIkers?

-Best in the worId.

Let him have a Iook at them.

AII right.

ExpIain to him that the men with the guns

are bad. We have to put them to sIeep.

He want to know how did

those peopIe get in there?

No, no, they`re not....

You expIain.

One hour, then we move!

I`m gonna have a snooze.

``Dear Miss Thompson:

Your abductors have been injected

with an immobiIiser.

When they go to sIeep,

you must disarm them.``

TeII him he must give her the note

onIy after he`s shot aII the men.

When he shoots, he must

puII back on the thread quickIy...

...so the man can think it was a horsefIy

or a wasp that stung him.

He`s fast. It`II work.

He must dip the needIe each time.

I can`t see the IittIe bugger.

Yeah, I see him.

Now, Iook at that.

Yeah, he`s cIever.

Nothing`s happening down there.
