"Otherwise, I would go to Mauritania myself." "Not a good idea, crossing the local warlord." "No..." "But not unlike Zac." "My..." "My son means well, but... he's strong-willed, to say the least." "Who contacted you?" "A local man by the name of Ayoob." "Did he say where we could find him?" "No." "It was just that Zac was begging for me to get help." "And also that somehow he's been wounded." "Wounded?" "I think he's been shot." "It's a remote area." "A Westerner looking for your son would quickly become a target as well." "I understand that." "But Cat tells me you're the best at what you do." "I will pay any fee you ask." "I'm sure you could afford it." "But I'm not sure success is possible." "What you need is an airlift." "I have had the Embassy on the phone non-stop." "They say it's simply not an option." "This is the first time since he was a teenager" "Zac has asked me for anything." "Please, Mr. Martin..." "Bring him home." "And if he's already dead?" "Bring him home anyway." "What's your connection?" "The father or the son?" "I dated Zac when I was stationed in Jordan." "It was a long time ago." "I'm sorry, I should've told you." "Why didn't you?" "I didn't want you to feel obligated." "Are you going to do it?" "I'm gonna need you with me." "Awfully quiet, isn't it?" "A ghost town." "I counted 19 beds." "Nineteen empty beds." "Wherever they went, they left in a hurry." "He was gone before the shooting started." "How do you know?" "More bullet holes, and there's no blood here." "What kind of a man shoots through a closed door?" "The kind who shoots first and asks questions later." "There's Zac." "You OK?" "I'm OK." "Tell me more." " About?" " Zac."

"But Al-Harazi made it clear." "He will kill anyone who helps him." "Your friend gets shot and you send him away?" "This isn't about friendship." "I am the only doctor for 100 kilometers." "People need me alive." "Now go." "And don't come back!" "Heart-warming." "At least we know where Zac isn't." "Can I see that picture again?" "That's the same guy, isn't it?" "Standing next to Zac?" "Speak English?" "A little." "What's your name?" "Ayoob." "Ayoob, you called Zac's father." "He sent us." "We're here to get him." "This isn't his grave, is it?" "It's a cousin's... killed by al-Hazari for helping Zac." "Tell us where he is." "Then we'll go." "He says not to trust you." "I know what he says." "Take this to Zac." "It'll prove I'm a friend."

"What matters is that it was mine." "_" "_" "Zac!" " Get in." "I'll drive." " No!" "Zac, let him drive!" "Why did my father send you?" "Why do you think?" "I told him to send help, not you and your boyfriend." "He's saving your life, Zac." "Is that what you call it?" "He practically served me up to Al-Harazi on a plate, and Ayoob is dead." "His friend betrayed all of us." "It doesn't change it!" "You've only made things worse." "Where are you taking me?" "Across the border." "To Morocco." "I have to make a stop first." "What for?" "Does it matter?" "You work for me." "Frank?" "What are you doing?" "It's your call." "Where is this stop?" "It's 20 minutes that way." "You're a pain in the ass, you know that?" "I know." "This is where you went hiding?" "The Bedouins have no love for Al-Harazi." "The enemy of my enemy is my friend..." "Yeah, that and payback for some radios" "I funnelled them a few months ago." "Smart investment." "One of the few worthwhile things I learned from my father." "Just this way..." "You gone long time." ""You were gone a long time."" "This is Ali." "My right hand." "I see." "And Ali's coming with us?" "No." "They all are." " Nineteen boys." " Is that a problem?" "Getting them past al-Hazari?" "That's more than a problem." "It's practically impossible." "I understand the difficulty." "I do." "But if I leave these boys behind, he will kill each and every one of them, just to punish me." "I can't let that happen." "You can't." "What are we going to do?" "I have no bloody idea." "I don't know what to say, I'm..." "Sorry." "You didn't know this would happen." "I should have." "The job has spun out of control." "And I know you only took it because of me." " How do that?" " Do what?" "Ali..." "My father sent Frank and Cat to get us out of here." "You're gonna help them." "This is all he send?" "Yeah." "We screwed." "I like this kid." "You know what a map is?" "I'm gonna need one." " You don't look well." " I'm alright." "How did you get that?" "They shot at the bus to stop it." "If they'd checked the luggage compartment," "I'd be dead right now." "I'm impressed you got the boys away." "Ayoob did, with help from the Bedouins." "Al-Harazi said he'd kill one of them each day unless I surrendered." "He told us you're a thief." "He would say that." "What do you mean?" "When I came here two years ago, al-Harazi was happy." "Not because I provided shelter for two dozen homeless boys, but because it meant aid flowing to Zouerat." "Aid he could skim and sell off." "That's part of the game." "You know that." "He's a parasite, making money off other people's money, he's like my father." "He got greedy and my kids got hungry." "Please tell me you didn't steal food back from him?" "Some of it." "What else could I do?" "You put their lives at risk, Zac." "This is happening because of you." "It's because of me they're alive at all." "It's because of you that they're gonna to stay that way." "Excuse me." "Frank!" "Let's get him inside." "It's infected." "How bad?" "Bad." "He may have blood poisoning." "Stupid man, he takes care of everybody but himself." "I'm OK." "I'm fine." "He's not going anywhere." "It's 10 kilometers to the Moroccan border if we take this road." "You know that border is disputed?" "Separated by two kilometers of no man's land, littered with land mines to discourage refugees." "I'm hoping we can use that to our advantage." "Even if you can, how do you fit 19 kids on that truck?" "I know where there is bus, big enough for everyone." "Yes Ali, we know your bus." "It's got a shot radiator." "I could probably fix it with a hose from the truck." "See?" "We already work together." "What about Zac?" "He won't make it without medicine." "Clinic in Zouaret." "It has medicine." "That doctor won't help." " Then I steal." " You steal?" "I'm not scared." "I'm a sneaky bastard." "That's what Zac says." "OK, but it sounds pretty risky, even for a sneaky bastard." "I'll go." "Look at your face." "Look at my face." "Which face has a better chance not getting killed in Zouaret?" "Seems like you're a persuasive bastard, too." "OK, then you look through the boxes and take anything that ends with "illin."" "OK?" "Ampicillin..." "Oxicillin..." "Got it ?" "And take syringes, needles, for shots." "I don't like needles." "Neither do I, tough guy." "Can you get the Bedouins to help take Zac and the boys to the bus?" "We'll meet you there." "We really shouldn't move him." "We don't have a choice." "Your friend," "Zac like her." " You think?" " Too much." "He go with her, he not stay with us." "How did you meet Zac?" "He caught me stealing shoes." "I think he going to hit me." "Instead he give me job at school." "Why were you stealing shoes?" "Shoes bring money." "I was hungry." " Where are your parents?" " Dead." "That's why I come Zouaret." "Zac give me home..." "Help..." "Not just me." "All people." "We call him Melak Zouaret." "You know what is "melak"?" "Angel." "Zac Angel of Zouaret." "Maybe you... melak too." "Sorry, Ali." "I'm nobody's angel." "Where are we going?" "To the bus." " I can't, not without the kids." " They're coming." "Wait." "What?" "Your bracelet..." "Should be in your pocket." "I still don't understand how you got mixed up in all this, Cat." "Your father called for advice." "As it happens," "I work for Frank now." "He's good, huh?" "He's the best." "We work together." "That's all." " Are you OK?" " Yeah..." "I'm fine." "You know I still care about you, Cat." "Don't start this, Zac" "You kept the bracelet all these years." "It must've meant something." "It means I like jewelry." "Where's Ali?" "He's with Frank." "They went to steal you some antibiotics." "No." "What?" "He told you he's a sneaky bastard, didn't he?" "He's the worst thief on the planet." "Here, take this." "You get in trouble, you shout as loud as you can, OK?" "_" "_" "Not so sneaky, Ali." "_" "_" "_" " Pardon me." " _" "Pick on someone your own size." "Where is the kafir?" "You're a funny guy, huh?" "You want to die for your friend?" "He's not my friend." "So... this is a rescue mission?" "You should have brought more men." "I get that a lot." "Stop!" "You were a soldier," "I can tell." "Your training made you hard to break." "Let's see how hard." "At three," "I cut his throat." "One..." "Don't say!" "Two!" "Don't!" "He's at the oasis with the other boys." "No!" "See, it wasn't so hard." "Run!" "We're locked in!" "Push!" "You are sneaky bastard too!" "You OK?" "I've been better." "Give Cat the medicine." "Good boy!" "Ouch." "Wimp!" "Are you OK?" "He will be." "Thanks to you." "Thanks, kid." "Whatevs." "Frank?" "Time to go." "Thank you, Frank... for getting us this far." "You can thank Ali, he's quite a boy." "Yeah, he is." "You and Cat are good together..." "What is it?" "Al-Harazi." "You can't outrun them." "The thought has occurred to me." "Everybody, get down!" "The border!" "I see it." "Tell the boys to grab onto something." "Grab onto something!" "That say danger!" "The mines." "We're safe." "As long as we stay on the road." "We can't have that, can we?" "You the man!" "Never had an audience before." "Al-Harazi's still behind us!" "He's not going away." "Not without some help." "Here, take the wheel." "Me?" "Yeah." "Just drive fast." "You stay up front." "I help, you'll see." "Get me some cloths..." "Rags, anything." "Frank." "Like this." "You OK?" "We're here!" "The bastard doesn't give up." "Get down!" "Hold on to something!" "You are good." "C'mon." "_" "Where's Zac?" " What are you doing?" " I'm looking for something." "Got it?" " Cat's bracelet." " C'mon." " Frank!" " Stop!" "Go." "Not without the package." "That's you." "Ali come back!" "Ali!" "Ali!" "_" "_" "I think we found the Angel of Zouaret." "_" "_" "Do you want drink?" ""Do you want a drink?"" "Sure, kid." "Give it here." "I got us a car." "There's a jet waiting in Ouarzazate." "Thank you, but these boys still need me." "You didn't think I'd actually leave, did you?" "No, not really." "You got me across the border, Frank." "I'll make sure my father pays you." "Well, I can't say it's been a pleasure..." "I'll see you around, Mr. Martin." "Why don't you show me what you can do with that ball?" "This is the part where you tell me what a terrible mistake that you made." "Zac..." "You risked your life, came all the way here." "Why do that if you don't still love me?" "Because the world's a better place with you in it." "Hey..." "You're gonna want this back." "You keep it." "I don't need it anymore."
