Colonel Dubaku.

We are just leaving

the township now, sir.

- How many do you have?

- Five.

Only five?

By the time we got to the field,

most of the boys were gone.

I need soldiers,

not excuses.

I will bring some more,

sir, I promise.

Just bring them to me.

Youssou, take this.

[ Machine Gun Fire Continues ]

[ Dubaku ]

You will learn

to fight like men.

Of that I have no doubt.

This... will make you

strong little soldiers.

This will make you free.

Come.

Take it.

Ah.

How does it make you feel?

Powerful, yes?

Come.

Your mothers

and your fathers,

they have made you weak.

But General Juma,

he will make you strong!

He will make you strong

so that you can take back

the country...

from the governments

and the traitors

that work for them!

- Like this cockroach, here!

- [ Whimpering ]

Down.

[ Whimpering ]

This cockroach works

for the government

and their white masters.

- Yes. Yes.

- [ Man Weeping ]

No, no.

Have mercy on me.

They have taken our land.

No.

But soon

all that will change.

Soon all the land

will belong to

the people again.

So...

we must buy

our freedom...

with the blood

of this cockroach.

[ Whimpering ]

No.

He's only a cockroach,

and you know what we do

to cockroaches.

Chop up the cockroach.

Kill the cockroach.

[ Chanting ]

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

Kill the cockroach!

The following takes place

between 3:
00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Events occur in real time.

- I thought I told you to

turn up the air-conditioner.

- All right, sir. I do so.

[ Lowing ]

- For crying out loud.

- [ Horn Honking ]

- [ Lowing ]

- Go on! Go around them! Go on.

But we need

another player.

Find somebody else.

Who? Tell me, Willie--

Who can handle the ball

better than you?

That's right. No one.

We're not supposed to go

to town without Mr. Benton.

Mr. Benton worries too much,

and so do you.

Hey, Desmond!

Hurry, or the bus

will leave. Come on.

Let's go.

You're not my father.

I'm your brother,

and you'll do what I say.

- No!

- Fine then.

The truck is here!

The truck is here!

Hey! The truck is here!

[ Speaking Native Language ]

The truck is here!

[ Cheering ]

[ Children Chattering ]

I wasn't stealing it.

I swear.

I was just looking.

Forgot these.

Very pretty.

For a woman, yes?

I was gonna give it

to my daughter one day.

You have a daughter?

Yeah.

Where did you get it?

Rajasthan.

India. You ask

a lot of questions.

That's what

Mr. Benton says.

I bet.

When were you there?

- Last summer.

- Before you came here?

Yes.

And before that,

where were you?

- Different places.

- When are you going home?

I'm not going home.

Listen, I told the other boys

I'd help them unload the truck.

- If you want that,

you can keep it.

- Really?

Really.

Willie.

You're gonna have to give me

my knife back though.

Go on.

Hey, Willie.

The supply truck's here.

- The boys could use some help.

- Look what Jack gave me.

Very nice.

It's from India.

Jack, this is

Frank Tramell.

He's the ambassador's

chief political officer.

I know who he is.

He says he left some

messages for you to come

see him at the embassy.

I got his messages.

What's going on, Jack?

I'll tell you

what's going on.

The senate subcommittee

has questions...

about the illegal detention and

torture of certain prisoners

in Mr. Bauer's custody.

I have a subpoena

requesting you to appear,

and it's way past due.

So consider yourself served.

[ Panting ]

I told the boys I'd

help them unload the truck.

Excuse me.

Failure to comply to

a subpoena is a federal

offense, Mr. Bauer.

You are bound by law

to respond.

Then give them my response.

They want me

back in Washington,

they can come and get me.

The, uh, ambassador

said...

that you and Bauer were

in the special forces

together?

- How long has he been here?

- A few months.

He never mentioned

the subpoena?

Nope.

Well, he's been ducking it

for more than a year, across

three different continents.

Washington is leaning

on the ambassador

to deliver him.

And now the ambassador's

leaning on you.

Bauer doesn't come back

to the States on his own,

they'll come for him.

That would be a mistake.

You're doing God's work

here, Carl.

Between malaria

and the wars,

these kids never

had a chance.

Now you're giving them

a decent life.

It'd be a shame

if the funding dried up.

Don't threaten me, Frank.

I'm just giving you

the facts.

You're his friend.

Talk some damn sense

into him.

Here, Jack.

Thank you, Thomas.

Okay. Go back.

Now you. Go, go.

There he is.

The mighty warrior

who traded his gun

for a wheelbarrow.

Why are you here, hmm?

To do penance

for all your sins?

You don't want

to talk about it.

I don't blame you.

- Watch out.

- The man from the embassy--

What did he want?

Nothing. He just

wanted to talk.

Talk about what?

Willie, you ask

too many damn questions.

[ Man ]

Let's go. Here's the oranges.

Willie? Come here.

I need your help.

Thank you. Come with me.

[ Thomas ]

Jimmy. Take a box.

Here. Careful.

Don't drop it.

[ Men Shouting ]

The government won't

be able to hold out

against us for long.

Except we have more weapons

than soldiers who can use them.

We need to overrun

the main garrison

from the west.

We have minefields

here and here.

Then I'll bring you more

little soldiers to clear them.

Do not worry.

Our father would be

really proud, Youssou.

Very proud.

You will have

your little soldiers.

Go.

[ Ringing ]

[ Ringing, Beeps ]

This is Colonel Dubaku.

Hodges here.

I've just heard some

troubling news, Colonel,

that your recruiting numbers

are-- are still coming up

a little short.

I want you to know

my offer stands.

I've got personnel standing by

right across the border.

They can be deployed

within the hour.

That won't be necessary.

Oh?

Do some thinking now,

Colonel.

I'm offering you professional

soldiers, not children you

haven't had time to train.

You provided the weapons.

We will fight our own war.

Well, it's your country.

It will be, soon.

Is there anything else,

Mr. Hodges?

Yeah.

Uh, tell General Juma...

give me a call

when he gets there,

will you?

I'll let him know.

Good.

[ Beeps ]

That's one hard-nosed

son of a b*tch.

It is his country.

But I'm paying for it.

I don't want

those transactions

traceable,

Mr. Nichols.

Not by the S.E.C.,

the I.R.S. or any
