Here... you go,

Auda, I know you

You are very fond of books.

Aren't you?

I hereby name you....

The Kingdom's Librarian.

Hmm...Come here.

Is he happy? Yeah he is happy, He is happy.

Good, good.

Ehm...And there is your desk.

There, Go!

Sit, sit, sit, sit in there.

Gentlemen, please...

We want more, Shall We finish a day down South,

With good old kentucky burgers.

Cheers! it's the best liquid in the world.

It's rich.

To the luckiest guys in the desert!

Take up lift this stuff, fast!

They tied heavy equipment around their feet.

And threw them in to the tank, so they would literally...

Well drown in oil.

We believe it was the Al Talabyns or the Anizas Tribes.

I'm not the ruler of a country yet.

I rule over a patty work of..

Tribes fall, Deeply conservative people.

You mean they don't like oil?

They only use their tribes that ever had for oil is,

to put it on their camels....

As a poultice, when they had mange.

But...

I'll make a great show of a...

Consulting with them ...

put some gold in their pockets.

And will make sure you and your people are protected.

It would perhaps had been better,

If your Majesty had waited with the exploitation of,

The Yellow Belt.

I should wait...

For the next cholera epidemic?

The next woman,

To die in childbirth, like my wife did?

Our people need the wealth oil brings....

Now!

The envoys have returned, back to Hobeika.

Auda, the delegation! Auda....

They are back we are going home.

What? At least I hope we are going home.

Look.

Come on!

They look exhausted.

I hope they reached an agreement.

He said what?

He repeated week after week:

"I gave my word and my sons to this treaty."

"Which we made under the eyes of God."

And you are showing me no reason why I start a revolt.

But you surely told him,

That the wealth of oil was a gift of ALLAH?

Aah he seemed to take the opposite view.

The Sultan wants you to know that,

He considers the exploaitation of The Yellow Belt....

A violation Of The Treaty.

If Amar wants war, he will have war!

Iam joining Father, don't say anything.

Lets go to war.

It is our land!

Shall we, gentlemen.

Again!

We just came back.

Don't be lazy!

It's hunting season.

Look, He he he... is negotiating okay

just just up his stake.

I already tried that, Mr. Thurkettle,

But he said.... money has no value.

What? no really well never heard that before.

Naturally you offerred to return the boys.

Of course, as your Majesty instructed.

Auda.. Auda my dear boy, come over here.

These are confusing times,

But we will find a way through them.

Where is your brother?

I think he was some what dissapointed.

So he just went out to....

Get some fresh air.
