of my ex-wives.

You understand me,

don't you?

[ Chattering ]

John, what do you want me

to tell you?

You gotta hang in there

and be patient, my friend.

I'm trying.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

Hold on, hold on.

Stop. Stop.

We got caught by the margin.

It's gonna turn around.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, you've gotta

give it time...

and just, yeah,

be patient.

Yeah. Okay.

Yes. Yes. Okay.

All right. Bye-bye.

[ Man ]

All right. Next up. Right?

[ Intercom Beeps ]

[ Nichols ]

Chris.

Yeah.

Would you come in here,

please?

Who's that guy?

A client.

I need you to close out

Abu Dhabi and Eritrea.

Burn the records

and bury the ashes.

Go.

Yeah.

Jack.

Can I have a word?

Yeah. Willie,

go on out to the truck.

Pick up another load.

It's all right.

Go, go.

I think you should

take a look at this.

I don't need to.

I know what it says.

Don't worry, Carl.

I'll be gone by dark.

I'm not asking you to leave,

Jack. I'm asking you

to have a conversation.

Tramell says

this subpoena's been chasing

you for over a year now.

It's gonna catch up

with you sometime.

I'm not going back.

I'm not saying you should.

But a year's a long time

to spend looking

over your shoulder.

A lifetime of that's

gonna drive you

out of your mind.

Whatever I've done

I've paid for in full.

All I've got left

is my freedom. I'm not lettin'

them take that away from me.

Freedom. What kind

of freedom's this, Jack?

You're runnin' away.

What do you want

from me, Carl?

What do you want?

I want you to trust me, Jack.

I am your friend.

I'm sorry.

Look.

I can't remember

the many times

you saved my life.

But I do know

that I owe you.

You've lost a lot, Jack.

I know that.

I know that.

When you called me up

for the first time in--

What? Ten years?

I hoped you were maybe

looking for more than

just a place to stay.

I'm trying to

find a way to make

some sense of it all.

It's a normal impulse,

especially for people

like us.

Yeah, except you found

what you were looking for.

Yeah.

[ Hammering ]

Damn it.

Carl.

Carl!

I just meant

it's different for me.

You never asked me

why I quit.

I figured

you would have told me

if you wanted me to know.

While I was in Beirut--

a counterinsurgency

operation.

I was holding a suspect.

The attack window was open.

Our time was limited.

I was sure I had the right guy,

but he wasn't giving me

the information I needed,

so I kept pushing.

Pushed him hard...

until he finally told me

what I wanted to hear...

right before he died.

He wasn't the right guy, Jack.

The intel was bad.

- I lost 14 men

and 21 civilians that day.

- Carl, that's the job.

People like you and me, Jack--

We don't--

We don't keep score

by counting how many lives

we've saved,

but by how many we've lost.

You know, I'm not so sure

I have found what

I was lookin' for.

But I have found a way

to live with myself.

It took a long time.

The first thing I had to do

was stop running.

I meant what I said, Jack.

You can stay here.

We'll fight this thing

together.

Sorry.

Don't worry about Tramell.

The state department's

not the only place

with money.

I appreciate what

you're trying to do, Carl,

but this is my problem.

I'm not gonna

let it become yours.

Remember what the lieutenant

used to say about trouble?

"Comes cheap,

leaves expensive."

Yeah. Yeah.

What you've done

with this place.

The school, what you've

done for the boys--

It's worth protecting.

You and I both know

it'd be better for everyone

if I leave.

I'm sorry, Jack.

Me too.

[ Chuckling ]

Me too.

Thank you, Carl.

I mean that.

Thank you for everything.

Always.

Yeah.

- Where is he going?

- I'm not sure.

But he's leaving.

Yeah.

He is.

You are just a boy.

You do not know what you

are talking about.

What do you know?

This isn't even

your country, yeah?

- Hey, hey, hey!

What's goin' on?

- Thomas is talking nonsense.

He's spreading rumors

about Juma.

Rumors? They are not rumors.

Juma's soldiers have

been crossing the border

and stealing our children.

Juma has no soldiers,

and he has no weapons.

Everyone knows that.

My cousin is missing.

He went to the market yesterday,

and he has not returned.

Then it was gunrunners

that took him, or someone

from the diamond mines.

My brother is in town

with James.

You see that, hmm?

Now you have the boy worried.

He should be worried.

We should all be worried.

Stop it, both of you.

Finish up work.

I'll go into town and see if we

can find out what's going on.

- Fine, but you are

wasting your time.

- [ Thomas ] Take this.

I thought I told you kids

not to go into town

without telling me.

Desmond never listens

to anyone but Desmond.

Where'd he go?

Playing football.

There's a field

just past the bridge.

I'll be back soon.

Benton.

You're not seriously worried

about all of this, are you?

If Juma was making trouble,

we would have heard something,

no?

Probably,

but this is Sangala.

I'm not taking any chances.

[ Children Laughing ]

[ Thomas Chattering ]

[ Excited Shouting ]

Yo. Hey.

Pass it! Pass it!

[ Bleating ]

Left, left, left!

Pass the ball, James.

The ball!

What'd you think

that was, huh?

Nothing.

What you say, "nothing"?

Now you wanna fight.

Oh, wow!

He's so powerful, guys.

Give him a hand.

Oh, you just threw

the ball away.

Now you wanna fight.

Now you wanna fight.

Yes.

Go fetch the ball

if you want the ball.

Go fetch it.

- Run!

- [ Machine Gun Fire ]

[ Boys Screaming ]

[ Machine Gun Fire Continues ]

Oh, no!

[ Men Shouting ]

[ Speaking Native Language ]

[ Whistling ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

Yeah. Yeah.

One at a time.

One at a time.

One at a time!

You are now soldiers

in the People's Freedom Army.

You will all have the honor

of fighting the imperialists...

until we have

taken back our land.

[ Radio Chatter ]

Samuel tells me you are

from the American school

in Okavango.

These Americans

make our people slaves.

But we will free you,

and we will free

the other children...

so they can become soldiers.

Take them.

Let's go.

Come on. Go, go!

[ Laughing ]

Tell me your name.

Seville.

Louder.

Seville.

Are you a baby, Seville?

I asked you a question.

Are you a baby?

No.

Good, because we need

soldiers, Seville.

Not babies

who wet themselves.

Now stop crying,

or I'll stop you myself.

[ Man ]

Commander!

Put them in the truck!

Let's go!

Go. Go!

Faster! Don't lose them!

- [ Gasping ]

- What are you doing?

Idiot! They are

no good to us dead!

Go!

This is an historic day

marking the swearing in...

of America's first

female president.

Behind me, the sidewalks

along Pennsylvania Avenue

are crowded with spectators...

here to catch a glimpse

of the passing motorcade.

With the inauguration

less than two hours away,

President Daniels is scheduled

to meet with his successor

here at the White House...

to review final details

for the transfer of power.
