Come on! Get the lead out!
Run the f***ers over!
Come on, Jamie!
Come on! Get up!
Get up!
the provisional government only.
Which of your men do I kill
to make room for mine?
Get in! Get in!
Straight ahead.
Everybody look straight ahead.
Stop it!
This man's dead! Get him out!
He's alive, you pimp!
Everybody comes with me
goes home.
Let's go.
Let's see this thing fly!
What name have you given
to your child?
Richard Patrick Miller.
And what do you ask of
God's Church for your child?
Baptism.
to accept this responsibility...
renew now the vows
of your own baptism.
Reject sin.
Profess faith in Jesus Christ.
This is
the faith of the Church...
This is the faith
in which this child...
is about to be baptized.
Do you reject Satan?
- I do.
- I do.
And all his works?
- I do.
- Yes, I do.
And all his empty promises?
- I do.
- I do.
Let me hear from you.
I want to know
how the kid's doing.
Where he goes to school.
All that.
When Richard deserted
in Vietnam...
I wish you'd had him arrested...
instead of bringing him back
and covering for him.
He wanted you to be
the baby's godfather...
so you are.
Don't come around anymore,
please.
Come on, Jamie!
No mail.
What is this, Watergate again?
Don't give me
that Watergate stuff.
- Look at you.
- What's the matter with me?
I was good enough for you
when you married me.
No wonder I haven't
got any money to...
I work 14 hours a day...
Do dogs get too fat?
Now, we also heard
of a woman in Los Angeles...
who will write a song
for your dog.
You send her a picture
of your pet...
along with a biography
and $75...
and she'll send you
a cassette...
a musical portrait
of your pooch.
You got any money?
What's it to you?
You can al ways be a beggar
when you grow up.
Endean?
No, I don't know him.
How'd you get up here?
Yes.
The corporate interests
I represent...
contemplate investing several
hundred million dollars...
in the development of
certain resources in Zangaro.
- Where?
- West Africa.
Do you read the papers,
Mr. Shannon?
The president, Olu Kimba,
is frequently on the front page.
Yeah. Go on.
Before money is invested
in Zangaro...
we have to know a lot more...
about the stability
of Kimba's regime.
Is a coup d'tat imminent...
or even possible?
We have to know.
You can get that information
through an embassy.
Who the hell do you think
has diplomatic relations...
with a maniac like Kimba?
I don't know.
Mr. Shannon, the world is
running short of commodities.
One day,
we'll go to war over rice.
The job pays $10,000.
Fifteen.
Half tomorrow,
the rest when I get back.
It's only a reconnaissance.
- Did you steal this?
- No.
- You sure?
- I don't steal.
- You got 35 to 100.
- That's good.
What do you know
about bird-watching?
Ornithology.
- How long you'll be gone?
- A week.
Watch yourself, Jamie.
- Red on red?
- Pull it out.
I'm not back in a month
to two years...
you and Drew come get me.
You bet.
He was in here last week.
He wanted me to go
bear-hunting with him...
in Canada
with a bow and arrow.
Smart.
Seemed like a damn messy way
to be killed to me.
- He go?
- I don't know.
He told me about the baptism.
That's damn fine.
You'll be a hell of a godfather.
I'll see you.
You got a godfather?
Going in with
such a conspicuous cover...
is unnecessarily risky.
I need a reason
to be there with a camera.
Go as a tourist.
What the hell is a tourist
doing in Zangaro?
- I've no idea.
- Right.
A reconnaissance is no good
if you don't come back.
I al ways come back.
PI ease sit up
and fasten your seat belt.
Thank you.
Brown?
Keith Brown, yes.
What business do you have
in Zangaro?
I work for a nature magazine.
I take pictures of birds.
Pictures of birds.
Yes.
In there.
Attention, please.
Here is
an important announcement.
Visitors to Zangaro
are warned...
that there is a curfew
in the city of Clarence...
between 6 p.m. And 6 a.m.
Do you have a drinking problem,
Mr. Brown?
a problem with the water.
There is.
Your pockets, please.
Spanish. French.
This is
Long live President Kimba.
Airport tax.
What's that for, sport?
Importation tax.
Wel come to Zangaro.
Can I give you
a lift into town, my son?
Yes. Thank you.
Is this your first trip
to Zangaro?
Yes.
Wel come to Clarence.
Thanks again.
Good-bye. God bless.
Hello.
My name is Keith Brown.
Brown.
We've received no cable,
Mr. Brown.
I sent it last week.
The telegraph system
is somewhat irregular.
How long do you wish
to stay with us?
Four or five days.
You got something quiet,
maybe in the back?
Foreigners are restricted
to the second floor.
Whatever you got
with its own shower.
Your passport, please.
Do you need that?
It will be returned to you
when you leave.
You will have... room 12.
Mr. Brown, your jeep is outside.
Great.
In my jungle,
you'd be just another a**hole.
Keep turning on the boy.
Keep shooting.
Listen, we've got permission...
Watch the jeep!
Take it easy.
Everything's all right.
This way.
Ken, keep it on the boy.
Good evening, Mr. Brown.
Did you get many pictures?
