# Sad are the eyes
# Yet no tears,
# The flight of the wild geese
# Brings a new hope
# Rescued from all this...
# old friends
# What chance to make it last?
# When there's danger all around
# And reason just ups and disappears
# Time is running out
# So much to be done
# Tell me what more...
# tell me what more
# What more can we do?
# Now madness prevails
# And lies fill the air
# What more... what more
# What more can we do?
# What chance to make it last?
# What more...
# What more can we do?
Colonel Faulkner
- You're late
- Sorry
We thought it better for you to come
into the country without
going through immigration
Took a bit of doing
I assume you're keen
I am. I'm also cold and tired.
Could we move rather rapidly on?
This way, sir
Colonel Faulkner,
I'm Thomas Balfour
How do you do
You'll be meeting Sir Edward Matherson
Matherson the merchant banker?
That's correct
Faulkner...
What do I call you? "SIR Edward"?
You do
You drink whiskey, I take it,
soda or water?
Large and straight, thank you
Good of you to come at such short notice
That depends on your definition of good
A first-class air ticket and an unsigned
cheque for 2,000
are persuasive
I assume that's for
my time and my trouble
And a rather rough meal on the plane
Would you be good enough to sign?
Thank you
Another, please
Please, feel free with my whisky
I will
Thanks I'm dry when I work
So I've heard
There's a special clause in my contracts
that says that my liver is to be
buried separately, with honours
I'm not a very humorous man
So I've noticed
Tell me what happened with your contract
with Julius Limbani
You know very well what happened
You didn't pick my name out of a hat
It was a disastrous failure
But not my failure. He didn't arrive
Don't move
Mr Limbani, sorry to interrupt your nap
We are going to divert the plane. An old
friend of yours is waiting for you
Just sit quietly
That was two years ago
I've got your autograph Sir Edward. Why?
- Copper.
- Copper?
Now let's see if I can put all of the
pieces together
just for the exercise
General Ndofa was the most corrupt
dictator in Africa,
deposing Limbani as head of state
Do you mind if I cut through all of this?
Uganda agreed
to hold Limbani for them
then they refused to give him back
They announced that he died of a heart
attack, then they set him free
The dogs
Ndofa can't stand the chance of Limbani
reincarnated taking over his country
So he's offered some of our copper
concessions
in return for the secret delivery
of Limbani into his hands
And you want me to intercept him
and deliver him to you
Correct
Where do I find him?
He'll be moved across the border and
taken to an army barracks at Zembala
Now Ndofa leaves Gurundi the same day
and personally execute Limbani and
scatter his ashes
Any questions?
For the moment, just two
First when can we confirm the exact
date of arrival of Limbani at Zembala?
7 days in advance
- guaranteed
- Good
And two, can you hold General Ndofa in
Gurundi
while I'm grabbing Limbani?
That can be done
Excellent. That's all for now
Don't you wish to discuss
your fees and expenses?
Well first of all I have to determine
if the project is feasible
If it is, I'll send you my account
I don't discuss fees, I get what I want
I realise you get paid for
risking your life
I do hope it's not going to be
too valuable. Goodbye Faulkner
We shan't be seeing each other again,
it's been a great pleasure
Here we are
Here?
This is it?
You're too well known to stay
Now in here is a passport,
driving licence
all the usual papers and a 'phone number
where I can always be reached
You're to deal directly with me
It's my job to provide you with
everything you need
I've got some jobs for you immediately
I want a detailed map of the area around
Zembala,
plus all the details you can get
me on the garrison strength
- It will be delivered by hand.
- Good
Now I want you to find me two men
First Rafer Janders. If he's
alive, he's here in London
Rafer Janders...
Fair-haired, cigarette-holder,
wears glasses?
That's the man. This is going to be a
tough assignment
No Rafer Janders, no contract
I'll call you about him within an hour.
And the other one?
Shawn Fynn
Very good looking
I know the name Shawn Fynn
I'll do my best but he's a problem
Find him - same goes for him
No Shawn - no deal
Sit down
Randy, you don't come in here!
We got a problem, Mr Martinelli
I'm really sorry
Go
Go on. Go on. I'll be out in a minute
Close the door
So? Go ahead. What is it?
You should've told me I was carrying
heroin
I said:
"No drugs"What did you think the delivery was for?
Hershey bars?
I thought it was cash?
I don't push drugs, ever.
It's against my religion
You're telling me what you do
or don't do for me?
More or less
Randy, break any two items
you like on this man and throw him out
If I ever see your face again,
you're dead
Put your hands on your head.
You, move over with him!
On your head
Shawn, take it easy,
he's just a snot-nosed kid
His old man is something very special
- back in the States
- Have you finished?
Here
Open it
Open it!
I poured all the envelopes into one bag,
it's more convenient
